Synopsis

David Smith[1] wrote: The Premise

Dave's love life has gone the way of the dodo... Dave's grades have gone the way of the dodo... And if he doesn't pay the two thugs the money he owes them, he will go the way of the dodo!

College was supposed to be the best experience of his life. He was supposed to party, get women, watch TV and play video games. But things didn't turn out exactly the way he intended. In this game, you are Dave, a college student whose life begins to fall apart as several different issues begin to creep up on him all at once. After nearly four years, you are unable to find a girlfriend. This difficultly has led to a drop in grades... which could lead to a dismissal from school. To top it all off, you owe two thugs twenty thousand dollars. Kind of ironic that your grades suck so bad since it was the money you now owe that you used to pay your tuition. Now, time is running out and all the situations must be resolved, or life could get really nasty...
