[h3]Ask Me Anything - April Edition is OUT now on Reddit![/h3]

Here comes this month's AMA session, exclusive on our official Subreddit!


This time, we've answered a very frequently asked question about teaching policies so be sure to check it out! And, you might find your questions answered in the AMA as well :)

[h3]Controller Feedback Survey - Help Us Improve Let's School[/h3]

One of the major additions in the April update is the support for controllers.

We hope that by officially supporting gamepads, players who play using controllers/portable handheld devices like Steam Deck will enjoy a smoother experience in Let's School. Moreover, this will also benefit the upcoming console releases, as we could use the data/feedback collected from players on PC to further optimize the console port.


If you happen to be one of the headmasters who prefer to play this game on gamepad/handheld devices, please let us know what you think about the new controller settings HERE. Your support is much appreciated!
