🎮 New Prototype: School Syndicate Mystery

#javascript #beginners #gamedev #showdev

🚀 My First Serious-Game Prototype

This is my very first step into the serious-game world—where play meets learning.
I built a browser-based mystery called School Syndicate to explore:
• 🕵️ Investigation & deduction – players track a fictional “study enhancer” craze.
• 👑 Cycle of power – accuse the mastermind, then choose: take the crown or break the chain.
• 🏰 Positive choice – reject power to earn a Badge of Integrity and design prevention programs.

Everything is pure HTML/CSS/JS—no libraries, no backend.
It’s short, narrative-driven, and completely fictional (no real drug names or instructions).

This is my first experiment in serious games, blending storytelling and social themes.
Feedback from educators, game devs, or anyone curious is super welcome!

Inspiration & Credits

“The seed for this project came from bits and pieces—an Instagram reel about teen crime dramas, a few movies I’ve watched, and random chats with friends.
I reshaped those fragments into something new: a fictional school mystery that avoids real names, real drugs, or anything instructional.”
