Key information
At the SAGA Barcelona Game Fest 2026, developer Cocodrolo Games showcased Skool Days, a social simulator set in a school environment. The game follows a protagonist who moves to a new town and aims to build friendships with three peers over a one-year period.
Gameplay spans approximately 63 days with an estimated 20-hour playtime. Players must manage resources and schedules while navigating complex social dynamics. The experience requires careful attention to detail, such as carrying the correct textbooks to avoid teacher reprimands or balancing social interactions with punctuality to avoid being late for classes.
The core mechanic involves difficult social choices where decisions are not simply right or wrong. Engaging in activities like pranks affects relationships with multiple students and influences future social media interactions. Xavier Parcerisa Maribel, leading the project, emphasizes that the game aims to teach players how their choices impact others in a complex social environment.
Cocodrolo Games is preparing for a release in early 2027. The developer is considering cultural localization to address differences between Western and Asian school systems, such as classroom movement patterns. Maribel expressed interest in the Asian market and intends to maintain a rapid development pace, aiming to release one title per year.
