Student Transfer is a visual novel telling the story of John Davis, a rather normal boy whose regular life in San Fransokyo is shaken up when he gets involved with supernatural forces by accident.

The game presents a dichotomy of supernatural themes as John is introduced either to a technological marvel -a remote that can affect bodies and minds- or an old tome exposing him to the world of magic.

A sprawling adventure unfolds as he explores his newfound powers, with the player being able to shape his way through the story, leading to a whole bunch of different endings. Using these catalysts, Student Transfer seeks to explore the themes of swapping bodies or minds, possessing other people and gender bending them (or yourself).

The story is told through the perspective of the main character, using a first person narrative while using a traditional text and sprite-based visual novel model.
