Formula of Failure
A downloadable game for Windows
Math. My weakest subject.
I studied so hard and yet I'm so nervous.
If I fail I won't make it in life.
Formula of Failure is a short and unsettling visual novel about the stress of school and exams, and the feelings the pressure to do good in school can trigger. This game was made in 48 hours for Global Game Jam 2023 which had the theme "Roots".

Game is really interesting since it's really just a math test and the results dictate your ending. I only wish there was an ending for if you cheated and got away with it, cheated and got caught, and aced the test.

Thanks for playing :)
Watched your video, I guess, I should have made the countdown speed up, too, if you use skip. Honestly, I never thought of it.
Thank you for playing and recording our game + taking the time to go through all endings. As for the cheating idea - it was something I actually thought of doing but it never became a thing simply due to the 48-hour time restriction. I think you had some great feedback! Thanks again for playing! :)
Very impressive! Both the game and how you managed to make math even more disturbing.
Thank you so much!
