Long ago, I was a muso.

And withTwo Point Campus, this gives me one ultimate objective: to create the ultimate fantasy music school.

Before that though, the basics.

To those who’ve played spiritual predecessorTwo Point Hospital, Two Point Campus will be very familiar.

Staff need to be hired to teach, clean up, and keep students happy.

Students have their own needs which pop up in the form of mission requests: I need a party!

I need a bookcase to study!

I need a love bench!

(More on that later).

The systems gradually layer up but never feel overwhelming, thanks to a lenient difficulty curve.

(Two Point Campus' relationships are wonderfully inclusive.)

Things also took a turn at Knight School.

That meant building medical facilities in a cute nod to Two Point Hospital.

Then there was Hogw- Spiffinmoore.

I’ve got no idea who let Nigella Fromage enrol, though.

Eventually, I unlocked Upper Etching and its music course.

My mission to create the ultimate music academy could finally start properly.

Once the students joined, it all kicked off.

Was any of it true to life?

Well it wasn’t always far off.

The systems are multiple, the customisation options deeper.

But it’s the minute details and British jokes that bring this parody world to life.

As the game’s tannoy announcements constantly note: “Students are reminded to find themselves.”

Putting the jokes aside, Two Point’s latest truly captures that.
