A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

You are a student in your final year at a Japanese high school. As an upperclassman—a senpai—there is a rule amongst your kouhais which shadows your every move: Senpai will never notice you.

How will you interact with your kouhais? Notice them, ignore them, string them along? The choice is up to you!


Senpai Simulator was inspired by a certain popular meme. Unlike with last year’s game, I don’t remember exactly how or why the idea popped into my head.

However, one thing I was sure of was that I wanted to use a different game engine this time. Ren’Py was amongst my top candidates, so a visual novel, dating sim, and/or life sim was in strong consideration from the beginning.

Beyond the basic premise, one prominent source of inspiration was the Pokemon series. I was playing Pokemon X around the time that I began actual work on this game, and its influence is obvious in the design and presentation of a certain character.

I hope you enjoy this second special Brainscraps Holiday Card, and Happy Holidays!
