Elizabeth Burnette of Vivid Gamer writes: "Being a student can be tough. Moving from school to school numerous times can make that even tougher. School 26 has gamers playing as a teenage girl as she tries to make the 26th school the final one. Silicon Sisters’ debut title looks like a game fit for girls in the same age group as the one you play as. It is nice to see an unique title that doesn’t involve dress-up or make-up for young girls. But does School 26 have enough to satisfy even the everyday gamers?"
Gamesauce says: "Based in Vancouver, Canada, Silicon Sisters Interactive is a female-run game development company creating games for females. One such game is Everlove: Rose, a romance game where players follow the main character Rose as she searches for answers to her problems by entering past memories. Kirsten Forbes, COO, shares the story of Silicon Sisters and the creation of Everlove: Rose."

Drawing a blank? Shake off that stumped expression, put your game on pause, and look north.
School 26 isn't something to be judged as a normal game. It's a title with a very specific aim, and if you're outwith the target age group then there is no reason to touch this with a bargepole. However, if you're looking for something to introduce a young girl to certain issues it certainly does a very good job in a context that is easy to relate to.
Sounds like a cute game. I definitely agree it's nice to see a game aimed at tween girls that isn't about make-up or other stereotypical crap like that.
yeah lol it does remind me of internet ads or like the esurance ones
