Classroom in Sora

Classroom in Sora is a short sci-fi adventure game developed by hypo- using RPG Maker MZ. The player takes the role of Yuri, a human born in space who longs for friends and is enrolled at a school in Sora, a location described as being out in space. The school is attended by alien students of many different species, and the game centres on approaching them and striking up conversations. Alongside the friendships that may or may not form, the story also concerns a mystery hidden within the school.

A single playthrough lasts roughly 40 minutes, and there are two endings. Meeting certain additional conditions unlocks further information. The game supports keyboard, Xbox gamepad, and mouse or touchscreen input, with the latter allowing movement by clicking or tapping a destination. The map does not scroll, and opening the menu screen shows advice based on the player’s current progress for anyone who becomes stuck.

The scenario, characters and music are by hypo-, with backgrounds from the KR Retro Starship Tileset by Kokoro Reflections and sound effects from Soundeffect-Lab. The developer permits streaming, let’s plays and monetised videos of the game up to and including the ending, with some restrictions, such as not posting the full contents of the Autograph Book or uploading raw footage without added commentary.
