For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It´s like Prison Architect. Same idea, different ages.
It was a good game, kind of wish there would be mods to allow more options beyond the basic game but still fun.
Fun Little Management Game If you've played Prison Architect, you'll probably feel right at home with Academia: School Simulator. It has a very similar style of building, managing staff, and dealing with everything happening around your facility, but the school setting gives it a different feel. That said, I don't think it's quite as enjoyable as Prison Architect. There's something about the gameplay that doesn't feel quite as engaging, but it's still a genuinely fun game and I found myself getting hooked pretty easily. The graphics are good, and the overall visuals look great. Everything is clear and easy to follow, and the game runs really well without any noticeable performance issues. The music is also surprisingly good and fits the game perfectly without becoming annoying after playing for a while. The biggest positive for me is how addictive it can be. It's one of those games where you sit down thinking you'll play for 20 minutes, then suddenly realise you've been playing for a couple of hours. It's a great game to chill out with and kill some time. Overall, it's not quite on the same level as Prison Architect for me, but Academia: School Simulator is still a fun, polished and addictive management game that's definitely worth picking up if you enjoy this type of game.
This game is right up my alley. I love tycoon games and I love games where I get to create schedules. I def recommend this one if you also like these types of games generally.
A littel clunky, but once you know how to do stuff it's very addictive!
Recommended only on a high discount. It's a fun time sink, but it does feel unpolished and unfinished. It felt like I hit the limit of how much I could expand my school way too quickly, leaving little to do after a certain point other than reset.
I thought this would be ass until I started playing it
I've been waiting for 7 year's for this game to stop being laggy, They gave up on a single player game. I have a 3080 TI, 65GB ram, and a I7-14700K. This game still run's like crap, I entirely regret supporting this.
[i]Em todos esses anos trabalhando nessa indústria vital é a primeira vez que isso me acontece[/i] É mais difíficil fazer com que todos os alunos saiam da escola, que sobreviver ao modo difícil. [foi assim que eu sobrevivi ao modo díficil, tentando fazer com que todos saíssem e no fim ainda tinham criaturas na escola sem eu ter feito nada] Sinceramente não sei que água essas criaças beberam pra não saírem imediatamente de uma escola que não tem comida, banheiro, professores, paredes e só é limpa pra eles não terema desculpa de faltar a aula por estarem doentes e é cheia de gente esquisita que quer roubar / bater neles.
