How does your game fit the theme?
Why "Calm before the Storm"? Well, the quiet here is the last summer break before you off go to a very difficult university.
The storm? Well, you complete a large amount of timed tasks and try to not get expelled, while also managing your social life!

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Most of the assets used are either my 3D models, or CC0 textures for buildings and such. Also a mix of my and Public domain sound effects. But I did make the intense music!
Shout out to my brother who helped me with the cover art, and will also create a trailer in the next few days!

Wow, really nice submission!

I really like your take with the theme, I think many others are in the same situation as you :P.  It depends if you want to continue the game afterward, but I think having an outline or a popup when you can press F would have been great for feedback, making it a bit less stressful hahaha (I doubt that's the goal though ^^). Really well done and congrats on your submission!!

Really enjoyable and well done, feels more like an experience or a piece of art then a game.

Paired with the music, the gameplay was super hectic. Really got a rush out of me. Well done !
