How does your game fit the theme?
You must fight works of literature in your english class to hasten the ever so long countdown till your freedom! Enemies will become weaker as their due dates are closer and closer to expiring, so procrastination is key. If you cut it close enough to hit them at the time they're due, they will perish instantly. This will hasten the due date countdown for all enemies each time you execute one perfectly, and so on, until they all become permanently vulnerable to the slightest touch of damage. ​ But beware! Taking a hit from these enemies will set back your perception of time! Let it become too slow, and you may fall asleep...
