Agefield High Getting Started Guide

Agefield High: Rock the School is an open-world coming-of-age adventure from Refugium Games, published by Perp Games for PC and consoles. You play Sam, a new student who arrives at Agefield High with two close friends — Kale and Axel — and a shared scheme called Rock the School: a senior-year push to leave a mark on campus, town, and social hierarchy before graduation closes the book. The tone deliberately echoes early-2000s teen comedies — think American Pie-era awkward humor — while gameplay structure takes cues from school sandboxes like Bully.

The PC version launches August 12, 2026 on Steam (app 3562580). PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch releases follow later in 2026. This guide summarizes confirmed systems so you can hit the ground running on day one without relying on unverified leak walkthroughs.

What kind of game is this?

Agefield High is single-player only. There is no multiplayer or online mode. Combat exists but stays simple — punches and kicks when disputes escalate — wrapped in mature content: crude jokes, innuendo, and mild violence appropriate to a teen comedy rating. Expect roughly eight to ten hours for a focused story run, thirty-two main missions, fifteen side missions or activities, and two endings if you pursue branching choices described in the Endings Guide.

The world is intentionally small but connected: a school campus, two neighborhoods, a town center, and countryside at the map edge. You are not crossing an RPG continent; you are living a compressed senior year where every block matters for classes, jobs, and story appointments.

Your first in-game days

Morning through early afternoon on weekdays belong to school. Five lesson types rotate through your schedule: English, Math, Geography, German, and Music. Attending class can improve grades, and grades feed money — a core loop detailed in How to Earn Money and the School System Guide. After classes end, the map opens for main missions, shopping, side gigs, or trouble.

You can skip class, but teachers and police watch for truants according to developer comments. The Skip Class Guide explains the risk-reward mindset without promising exact heat meters we have not seen in public builds.

Spend your first afternoons doing three things: (1) follow early story prompts from Kale and Axel in the Early Game Walkthrough, (2) learn campus layout via School Campus, and (3) bank a little cash before visiting Shops Guide outlets for clothes or a starter bike from Bikes and Customization.

Controls, combat, and planning tools

Before you sprint across the quad, skim PC Controls for movement, interact, sprint, and fight bindings on keyboard or controller. Combat tutorials are lightweight; Combat Tips covers when fighting helps versus when it burns social capital.

Use the interactive Senior Year Checklist to track classes attended, money saved, districts discovered on the World Overview, and main versus side progress indexed in Side Missions.

What we still do not know pre-launch

Exact mission order, secret activities, and precise grade-to-dollar formulas may differ in the shipping build. This wiki updates from Steam patch notes on the Updates Hub rather than inventing spoilers. Read Preview Roundup if you are still deciding whether the humor and structure fit your taste, and System Requirements before preloading.

When you are comfortable with basics, continue to Story Overview for narrative framing and Cast Overview to understand who shapes Sam’s year beyond the friend trio.

Parental and content guidance

Steam lists mature themes: crude humor, innuendo, mild violence. Getting Started assumes you want those elements. Families seeking wholesome school sims should read Preview Roundup and store descriptors before purchase. Sam’s story is senior-year comedy, not a children’s edutainment title.

Accessibility features remain partially undocumented. After launch, revisit PC Controls for remapping if classroom minigames require rapid key repeats.
