Rockett’s New School

About Rockett’s New School

The game follows Rockett Movado as she begins the first day of eighth grade at her new school. The game's genre is "friendship adventures for girls", which Wired deemed to be a new game category created by Brenda Laurel, Purple Moon's co-founder. The game's design was built on the notion of girls not wanting to play as a superhero, rather as a friend, experiencing real-life events, encounters, and emotions that they would understand. The player can discover more about each player by examining their locker or reading their journal, which allowed each character more three-dimensionality than in traditional hero vs villain games. The game avoids text when it can and instead portrays information through graphical imagery, in order to help players identify with the protagonist by seeing what she sees.

In the sequel, Rockett's Tricky Decision, Rockett is invited to two parties on the same night.
