一名派遣英语教师在日本的生活

In “Life of a Dispatch English Teacher in Japan,” you play as Maria Ramirez, an American working in Japan as an English teacher. It’s a rewarding, fun job, and you’re beloved by students and coworkers alike–until suddenly, one day you lose your job. You work for a dispatch English teaching company, and they lost their contract with your school, just one month before the end of the school year.

Out of nowhere, you must change the course of your life. You have a loving girlfriend to support you and other friends facing this alongside you, but ultimately you must make an extremely tough choice about your future.

This game is based on the real-life experiences of English teachers throughout Japan, on issues that tens of thousands of people endure every single year, and is designed to provide an up-close viewpoint of what the dispatch contract system does to the individuals impacted.

• Live through real-life shock – You’re an English teacher in Japan, and suddenly, your life is turned upside-down. Experience the chaos of a last-second life meteor.

• Make tough choices – End your relationship? Risk it all? There are no easy answers to how to face your future.

• Exploration of underdiscussed issues – Tens of thousands of English teachers in Japan face the same problems every single year, and “Life of a Dispatch English Teacher in Japan” sheds light on these solvable issues to a mainstream audience.

• A myriad of social issues – Job loss, foreign work visas, cross-country moves, same-sex marriage, adult loneliness–this game covers many different factors in a short time span.

• Brisk story – Across all endings, the story runs about 6,000 words long, so a full playthrough should take thirty minutes or less.
