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!

About the Game
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!
Cast of Characters
Senpai: This is you! You’re a third-year student at a Japanese high school, and your kouhais are just waiting to be noticed!
Professor Sensei: Your humble and enthusiastic guide through the world of senpaidom. You might not want to take everything that Sensei says seriously.
Kouhai-kun: A first-year student who gets easily disoriented. He’s friendly but he finds Senpai somewhat intimidating.
Kouhai-chan: A second-year student who is always studying in the library. Some may call this type of character a “tsundere”.
Kouhai-san: An underclassman who loves to go running. Cool as a cucumber, they try not to let Senpai’s aloofness get to them.
