Rules & Hints

The idea

Over twelve years you grow one rented tuition room into an empire. Every choice decides whether it grows honestly or by capturing the exam system — and who pays for it.

Your numbers

• Treasury (Mudra) — your money. It ticks in automatically from student fees, even while you're away.
• Income/s & Students — fees come from enrolled students; more students, more income.
• Saakh — your credibility. Slow to build, easy to burn, impossible to buy back.
• Power — your reach and influence.
• Heat — scandal exposure. Let it get too high and the empire gets raided.
• The human ledger — Aarav, Meena and the Sharmas. They are real people your choices land on. Keep an eye on them.

What you do

• Build — spend Mudra on subject rooms, floors, branches and staff to grow students and income. Tap “Show what each upgrade does” to see the exact effect.
• Open files — story chapters unlock as your enrolment grows. Open one to make a moral choice that hits both your stats and your economy.
• Schemes — corrupt choices unlock schemes that boost income, but raise Heat and grind down the people who trust you, every second they run.

Hints

• Build subject rooms and a Marketing floor first to fill seats and unlock the next file.
• Ad blitz instantly fills most empty seats — great right after you expand capacity.
• Counselors lower Heat and protect your students — they can avert the darkest outcome even on a corrupt run.
• Teachers raise Saakh; the Finance floor squeezes more fee from every student.
• Endings judge the character of your empire, not your bank balance. Money never buys you out.
