Before I get into reviewing the game itself, just letting you know that the 3 stars in sound is because your game neither has or needs sound. I believe the fact that the game jam rules stated that sound would be one of the judging factors implies that sound was requisite, but I wouldn't want to dock you especially if either I'm incorrect in my assumption or if it was a matter of you just missing that detail. Anyways, I think you did well with the visual presentation. If you were trying to construct a setting of a strange, run-down, 18/19th century school, I'd say you succeeded. I do wish you'd included some graphics besides a building and an empty classroom, such as a couple students working a printing press, but that may just be personal preference on my part. As for fun, it reminds me a certain party game where you need to rant about a random topic, so I assume you'd follow similar vote-based victory conditions for each round, but as I don't have immediate access to a big enough group to really test this, I'm going to give you a general passing rating. It does look fun, and I'd like to try it out with some friends when I get the chance.
