Path of Stress
A downloadable game for Windows
Path of Stress is a short platformer in which you play as a university student. It consists of 4 levels, each one representing a year of studies in the university. The player's goal is to pass all 36 courses scattered around the maps. Upon doing so, they will graduate and the game will end.
The game was originally an assignment for our Multimedia Technology course but we decided to publish it for everyone to play! It takes place in Athens as the university shown throughout the game is the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) .
