What the game is
Chinese Gaokao is a study simulator released October 17, 2026 at $1.50.
It simulates the learning process of Chinese high school students rather than the exam alone.
The loop runs on weekly study sessions that continuously raise your mastery of knowledge points.
The structure ends with the college entrance examination, whose score decides your university and major.
QTR and the skill draw
Mastery increases through QTR gameplay, which is the core interaction.
Completing a QTR earns points used to draw a skill randomly from a pool of 81.
Skills are split between permanent and temporary types.
Drawing the rarest red skill significantly boosts learning efficiency - a gacha layer sitting under a study sim.
Daily summaries and weekend exams
After the last class each day a summary runs, and an S+ rating in all subjects that day earns an extra skill point.
Every weekend brings 9 exams.
After the exams you compare scores with classmates by subject.
If half your scores beat theirs, you win the right to use their desk - and desks come in four levels of learning efficiency.
The 30-week arc and who it is for
You can take the final exam once you feel confident, or at the end of week 30.
The run is therefore a pacing decision: study longer or commit earlier.
It suits players who enjoy incremental optimisation and a very specific cultural setting.
At $1.50 it is a short, focused simulation rather than a long campaign.
