Orchard University closed its doors eight years ago, though no one knows quite why. Now it has reopened out of the blue, embracing a bold new motto:

"Orchard University: The School of Second Chances."

With your troubled history, the possibility of a fresh start on life and peers who don't know you sounds too good to be true...

Sure, the school's got an odd reputation, but what's the worst that could happen?

-=-=-

Orchard University: Remastered is a complete reimagining of our earlier game, Orchard U, improving on the storyline and introducing an innovative deck building combat system. During your time at Orchard U, you'll make friends and join clubs by day, and break into a digital otherworld and solve mysteries by night, all the while avoiding (or diving right into) traps and challenges that TF you, body and mind.

Inspired by such games as Slay the Spire, Mega Man Battle Network, and the Persona series, OU:R is a game under development. We intend to release episodic new content arcs every few months, and release polls allowing our patrons to help shape the content we work on.

Thank you for downloading, and we hope you enjoy the game.

LAST UPDATE:

Finally a new release for Orchard University Remastered is upon us… and it will be the last. But first the good news: the release!

-Added a new dungeon with a new scene and two bosses!!

-Added a new outfit.

-Added some new cards with very different mechanics to everything you have seen so far! There are powerful cards that will require you to discard part of your hand to be used. The new outfit centers around it.

WARNING: A new save file might be needed (might not… but I forgot why I put that warning...hehehe.)

Now onto the “bad” news. My RPG Maker MV has crashed, like a lot and often, and it killed any patience left I had with OU-R. The system was really too convoluted to keep evolving as it had been, or even to maintain it.

But more good news, the story is not dead! I will continue to work in OU (in this continuity) in its sequel! Expect the same stuff as OU-R but different combat and dungeons. We will keep MC being customizable, transforming bosses and the mini stories in the dungeon. We will add more character to the bosses and make dungeons more of an adventure than in OU-R. Hope to see you in the new game, which has already started production (and being tested by the Patreons). 

PS: The sequel will be based on this game, so you do need to finish OU-R to understand the new OU.

Orchard University close it’s doors 8 years ago after untold circumstances happened in it. It now has reopened out of the blue.

You are drawn to the school due to it’s slogan:

“The school of second chances.”

You have experienced a past you are not keen on sharing … but so does everyone else in OU.

Could't find a place to put credits...

All art in the cards, mirror, and basically everything involved in battle, is not mine. 

Plugins from:

Himeworks

Yan Fly

Galv

Simple Stupid Gaming

Catball games (the save file for MAC, if you don't have it, search for it!)

 Now that I forced you here, I took out all the images or modify/erase the images I don't own (and some might have slept by). Now, why did I do it, everyone is doing it. I talked to a friend that knows "Lawberish" (That's a weird tem we invented on the fly to mean he understands law) and he has some experiece with something I want to do. That thing is delicate and may be put in danger if I do things that are unlawful (yes, posting images is unlawful. It's not bad unless the owner of said images is involved, generally.). But if I get investaigated to do the thing I want to do, having images that are not mine is not the best of looks, and may even outright make it impossible for me to do the thing. 

I'm sorry for any disapointments this might occur, but I hope this won't affect any future projects I do. 

PS: The short future of this project will be decided in the forum. 

PSS: I left it as a concept (it's closer to that w/o images), but since I might continue this on the short term (finish the current arc max).
