About
About the game
At Whitlock University, tenure isn't safety—it's visibility. As political philosophy professor Harlan Voss, you've spent years building a careful reputation. But this semester, three women will upend every boundary you thought you had.
A trustee's daughter auditing your seminar. A rival colleague competing for the same endowed chair. A brilliant advisee on the verge of a breakthrough. Each relationship pulls you deeper into the intersection of desire, ambition, and institutional power—where every choice carries professional and personal consequences.
Sabine (The Audit)
A trustee's daughter auditing Harlan's seminar as her first quiet act of rebellion—beautifully raised for donor rooms, and unexpectedly hungry for difficult ideas. With Harlan, attraction arrives wrapped in privilege and peril.
Vera (The Citation)
A formidable associate professor and Harlan's departmental equal, fluent in committee math and professional brinkmanship. Their relationship is rivalry as foreplay: polished, capable, and one misstep away from complicating everything.
Cora (The Footnote)
Harlan's primary Ph.D. advisee is sharp, funny, and relentlessly serious about ideas—the kind of mind that makes a room re-order itself around her. With Harlan, the romance is intellectual first—then dangerous precisely because it feels true.
