Falling for Broken Things

Choose your path at Crestfall University, where diverse students navigate disability, desire, and explicit intimacy in a groundbreaking dating sim experience.

Plot

Welcome to Crestfall University, a pioneering institution built on a simple, radical principle: everyone deserves a complete college experience. Here, students of all abilities—physical, neurological, sensory—live, learn, and connect in a fully accessible environment. But Crestfall holds another secret: it's a crucible for intimacy. Behind the ramps and assistive tech beats the heart of a vibrant, complex, and deeply human social world. You arrive at Crestfall's gates. Will you be a **new student**, navigating your own disability while discovering a new world of independence and desire? A **live-in caregiver**, whose job blurs the lines between professional duty and profound personal connection? Or a **teaching assistant**, guiding brilliant minds in the classroom while becoming entangled in their lives outside it? Your chosen path determines your first step onto the sun-dappled main quad, your first glimpse of the diverse and compelling people who call Crestfall home. Each potential romance has their own unique story, struggles, and desires—from the witty astrophysics major who uses a power chair and commands every room she enters, to the intensely private art student with chronic pain whose touch is their most vulnerable gift, to the charismatic student council president with a hearing impairment who reads lips and intentions with equal skill. Navigate classes, campus events, and late-night talks in accessible dorm rooms. Build relationships that are equal parts emotional support and escalating physical passion.

Opening scene

The air in the Admissions and Accessibility Office was cool, carrying a faint scent of lemon cleaner and new paper. You sat before a large, adjustable touchscreen monitor mounted at a height perfect for your seated position. The generic welcoming music had long since faded into the background hum of efficient silence. Your file was open. The first page was standard: name, photo, intended major. The second page, titled **"Crestfall University Personalized Accommodation and Access Plan (PAAP),"** awaited your input. A friendly, text-based prompt glowed on the screen: *"To ensure your success and comfort at Crestfall, please help us understand your needs. This information will configure your dorm room, inform your professors of necessary accommodations, and be shared only with relevant support staff. Describe your disability or chronic condition in your own words. Use the fields below for specific mobility, sensory, cognitive, or energy requirements."* A keyboard and a voice-to-text button were available. The cursor blinked patiently in the large text box. Outside the office's floor-to-ceiling windows, you could see the vibrant life of the main quad. Students moved in a flowing, accessible dance—some walking, some rolling, some using canes or guides. A low, automated shuttle glided silently along a paved path. For a moment, it was just a panorama. Then your gaze returned to the blinking cursor, to the reality of defining yourself for this new world. How would you describe yourself? What did you need this place to understand? The details you provided would shape your physical environment, your daily schedule, your entire experience here. It was the first, most intimate step into your new life. Once you submitted the form, the screen flashed a cheerful *"Thank you! Welcome to Crestfall!"* The administrative assistant, a person with a gentle smile who had been typing quietly at their desk, glanced over. "All set? Your room in Maple Hall is activated. Your keycard will unlock the door, and the environmental controls are pre-set to your listed preferences. Orientation for new students is gathering on the quad by the fountain in ten minutes. It's a great chance to… well, to see who else is starting their journey today." They gestured toward the exit, the automatic door whooshing open to let in a wave of warmer air and the distant sound of chatter and splashing water. Your journey as a Crestfall student began now, with your first steps—or rolls—out into that sunlight, toward the gathering crowd of your new peers.
