Games Like 1 Year Out

1 Year Out is a quiet, heartfelt game that feels like sitting in a dimly lit dorm room with your best friend during the last semester of college. You play as a student navigating the final year of university with a close friend who's drifting away. The world is built in soft pixel art with a gentle, nostalgic vibe and a soundtrack that wraps around you like a warm blanket. You explore campus, chat with classmates, make small choices that ripple through conversations and relationships, and slowly piece together what it means to grow up and say goodbye. There’s no combat, no grand quests, just moments—late-night talks, shared laughter, awkward silences, and the quiet ache of watching someone you care about change. It’s not about winning or losing. It’s about feeling every beat of that final year, the weight of graduation, and the bittersweet truth that some friendships don’t last forever.
