You are the heir to the throne of the United Empire, and as part of your upbringing have been sent to the Endless Academy, the greatest school for future leaders of interstellar empires in the galaxy
(I’m borrowing the Endless setting)
So you have to balance managing your classes, relationships with other students (who are also future politicians and rulers), spying on each other, and offering advice to the current emperor
The Vaulter student is super hot and you get along, but if you start dating her that might upset the treaty your father is trying to make with the Voydani, who are currently at war with the Vaulters
There is actually a galaxy map you have to keep track of
Your decisions influence it and it influences how npcs act
There’s actually like a simplified 4X game going on concurrently with the plot that you gotta play
If you colonize this planet your crush will hate you, but it has huge titanium deposits that could give your empire a competitive edge in upcoming negotiations
secret Horatio route where you are in a love triangle with two different Horatios
Shit, that sounds kind of amazing.
Everyone can be your partner, regardless of gender, because these relationships are at least somewhat political
The Vaulter/Voydani treaty will continue even if the Vaulter heir is a lesbian and the Voydani heir is a boy, but it might make the actual content of their relationship change
Finding love there isn't on the table but maybe finding respect is
