Agefield High: Rock the School Launches on Steam to Mixed Reviews

Refugium Games released Agefield High: Rock the School on Steam on August 13, 2026. The small-scale open-world action adventure lets players take on the role of Sam, a transfer student who has three months left before graduation. Set in the early 2000s, the game is set in the town of Agefield, where Sam can attend classes, skip them, fight, and explore the city and countryside by bicycle. The game features 32 main missions, 15 side missions, five class subjects (English, math, geography, German, and music), and two endings, with a playtime of 8 to 10 hours. Players can earn money through side missions and spend it on clothes, bikes, and other items. The game drew attention before release for its resemblance to Rockstar Games' Bully, and the developer described it as a mix of GTA, Bully, and American Pie. On launch day, it reached a peak of 2,400 concurrent players on Steam, but user reviews are currently 'mixed' at 30% positive. Complaints focus on frequent crashes, performance issues, and bugs such as characters getting stuck or clipping through walls. The game is priced at 3,400 yen, with a 10% discount to 3,060 yen until August 20.
