Meanwhile, the rest of the school is practically falling apart and the students in the other Clubs have had to go to some extreme measures just to make do.

Kraken Academy!! is a 2021 adventure game by indie studio Happy Broccoli Games, about [[Creator/BobRoss happy little]] demonic cults, soda conspiracies, [[Franchise/AceAttorney courtroom drama]], and preventing the end of the world.
[[StrangerInAStrangeSchool You've found yourself at Kraken Academy]], a school(?) home to four distinct clubs: The art club, the music club (the one you're in!), the sports club, and the drama club. A [[AnthropomorphicFood girl made of broccoli]], and a "woke" conspiracy theorist blogger are just two of the strange students that attend this even stranger school. The place is barely functioning, infested with alligators, and [[NoOSHACompliance violating every health and safety law known to man]], but none of that really matters in comparison to the impending apocalypse you've been tasked with preventing.
But there's a problem: The apocalypse is happening in just a few days. To stop it, you need to join each club, and free the spirit that watches over it. That'll probably require a bit more time. Thankfully, the [[MakesSenseInContext Kraken that lives in a lake on the school grounds]] gives you an amulet that lets you rewind time. With this, you can relive your first week of school [[GroundhogDayLoop over and over]], retaining your [[RippleEffectProofMemory memories]] and somehow your [[OurTimeTravelIsDifferent inventory, too.]]
But don't let any of that stop you from [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld still enjoying your school life!]] You've got all the time in the world, after all. So go on dates, make friends, and destroy school property while you save the world!
