You are a newly hired "Recruitment Specialist" at a sprawling, glitched-out virtual academy. The world is populated by Non-Player Characters (NPCs) who are stuck in repetitive loops—walking the same paths, saying the same dialogue. Your job is not to befriend them, but to "Capture" them.

It is not a game that holds your hand. It is a toy box for system thinkers. You will fail. You will get jumpscared by a Broken Class librarian. But the first time you successfully rewrite an NPC’s destiny and watch them walk a path you designed?

Later builds of NPC Capture Academy (v2024, v2025 beta) introduced microtransactions and a "Cooldown Timer" that limited captures to 3 per real-world hour. Oinari Soft has since gone silent, leading fans to believe the studio has moved on to other projects.

This isn’t just another incremental update. The -v2023-04-21- release (dated April 21, 2023) represents a watershed moment for the game. It is the build where Oinari Soft finally bridged the gap between a clunky proof-of-concept and a genuinely addictive systems-driven experience.

Because is a standalone, DRM-free build (as per Oinari Soft’s original distribution on Itch.io), it remains a pristine example of emergent simulation design.
