Overview
Laurel's Day invites players into a unique RPG experience centered around a young student named Laurel. The game challenges you to guide Laurel through a single school day, grappling with intense guilt. With a limited energy pool of only 100 HP, players must strategically use resources like candy and lunch to sustain Laurel.

Every decision counts as you strive to conserve Laurel's energy and reach the end of the day.
