* Focus on broader genres: Many MMORPGs or life simulators might have high school settings as *part* of the game, but not the defining feature. You'd be a high school student alongside other gameplay mechanics like questing, crafting, combat, etc. Examples might include certain quests or storylines in games like *MapleStory* (although it's not specifically focused on high school).
* Are niche or indie: There might be smaller, indie games that more specifically focus on the high school experience, perhaps with romance or social simulation elements. These are harder to pinpoint without knowing specific subgenres you're interested in (e.g., visual novels, dating sims).
* Use high school as a backdrop: Some games might use a high school setting as a starting point, but the player quickly progresses beyond it into a larger world or more significant events.
To help me suggest something more specific, could you tell me what kind of gameplay you're looking for? For example:
* Do you want a role-playing game (RPG)?
* Are you interested in a life simulator or dating sim?
* Do you prefer action, adventure, or something more social?
* Are you looking for a single-player or multiplayer experience?
Knowing your preferences will help me narrow down the options and recommend a more suitable game.
