The verdict

Better value than 84% of Short indie games

Professor Simulator: Desktop Lab is a semi-idle research game, not a traditional management sim. Keep it in a small window while you work, study, write papers, or take a break. Recruit students, run a pixel lab, publish papers, earn Impact Factor, and watch them work, slack off, and break down.
