Mara Under Pressure

A hard-nosed teacher's grading policy is tanking her popularity and her paycheck, and the school wants her to smile more. Mara has to decide whether to hold the line with her students or start bending over backwards, literally, to keep her job.

The setup is a slow slide from strict disciplinarian to whatever gets the complaints to stop: angry parents, handsy coaches, a principal who likes leverage. Each choice pushes her further from where she started, and the story tracks that fall through the school year rather than resetting it.

You play as Mara through her days at school, choosing whether she cracks down or caves when someone with power over her job applies pressure. Confrontations with staff and students escalate depending on which way she bends, and the game keeps multiple endings depending on how much of herself she's willing to trade to stay employed.
