Unfortunately I've never seen it for a good price, 25 euros is just too much.
But I'll probably forgive you in a day or two, I just can't stay mad at that avatar.

quoting from the email of the developer :
Q : Will you sell Academagia on GOG ?
A: We'd definitely like to- it's something we investigated last year, but I don't believe we ever completed that. It might be time to try to contact them again. :)
Thanks for the thought.

Has it got teenage romances and awkward moments? Political correctness is just a part of the glue that keeps society together, like sensible table manners. Internet society works in a much more opportunistic manner, people just "hit it" or hit and run so there is no need for political correctness.

Not really, character interactions in the game are pretty limited (for the same reason as in Skyrim for instance, it's a sandbox game, not one focused on characters) , and there's no potential romance, only friendships.
Basically it's a combination of time management and text adventures (although the text adventures are mostly optional, you don't actually have to complete any), but it's much more open than any other game in those genres.
The only thing you need to do is study the class subjects you chose enough to pass the final exams, which isn't hard and shouldn't take much of your time.
Other than that you can spend your time however you want, and believe me when I say there's much more to do in the game than you could ever do in a single playthrough.
In fact, I've played the game 5 times (with different characters focused on different things), and I've barely done a third of the text adventures the game has to offer.

For those of you interested in Academagia but put off by its price, there are still 51 hours to get it as a 15$ add-on (or 25 with Scheherazade) on Black Chicken Studios's latest Kickstarter campaign.

Are they gonna be on GOG? Or is it still the price point issue?

Looked cool until I realized it was another one of those Japanese-like Princess Maker-type "strategy" games where you just end up passing the time to watch your stats go up.
Aren't these the same ppl who are doing that Dwarf Gamebook on Kickstarter?
