Hi everyone, I wrote this game 5 years ago when I was going to graduate from my PhD program. I did not expect to suddenly become popular in the middle of this week. Hope you enjoyed it (and thank you for stress testing my personal website)!
I wrote it to look back my PhD experience in a humorous way. However, each person may have a different experience and the game cannot simply capture all the scenarios. The road toward the PhD degree is full of challenges, and can be very stressful. I feel sometimes you also need a bit of luck like the randomness in the game. Thank you all for playing the game! Congratulations to those who already got their PhD, and best of luck for those who are still pursuing it!
You can find the source code of the game here: https://github.com/morriswmz/phd-game. I haven't touched it for years and probably already forgot how to build it. From my memory all events/items/status are customizable through YAML files so you can easily mod it if you want to.
