Commencement: Dying for It — the demo is out

Commencement: Dying for It — the demo is out

> I died in April. I know that because there's a bench. Nobody tells you about the bench.

The first demo of Commencement: Dying for It is live, and it's free to play in your browser.

The premise

You're a student who died last spring. Nobody can see you, except that Dee, your best friend, can somehow still hear you raise an eyebrow.

Every night you slip into a sleeping man on campus and wake up as him. You live his next day: his practice, his frat, his father, his secrets, his lunch. The whole time you're chasing Nate, the swim captain you've wanted for two years. There's one problem: Nate only has eyes for Dean.

And there's a catch. At graduation you lock into whoever you're wearing. Forever.

How it plays

• Choose who to become. Each night you pick a sleeper and ease into him by matching his breathing. Miss, and you might wake up as his roommate instead.
• Live his whole day. Every man has his own week: his friends, his family, his problems, and his own way of running into Nate.
• Dress the part. Pick his outfit each morning. People notice, and some outfits are very noticeable.
• Watch your tell. You can't help raising one eyebrow, and it shows on every face you wear. The people who love these men start to notice.
• Win Nate, as somebody else. Every man can reach a kiss with Nate if you play his week right. Each kiss unlocks something new for your next run.

What's in the demo
