Is Bancroft Academy dead?
No. The team behind it is now called Moar Interactive. We loved the world, but we knew we could do better. So we started over with a new story, new renders and new systems. That new game is Signed in Secret.
Is Signed in Secret the remake?
Yes. You may have seen it called "Bancroft Academy: The Remake" in an older Steam post. That was the working name. Signed in Secret is the real name.
What's new?
- A new story. You start on the closing shift at a bookstore. A book with no title starts to talk. Then a 5,000-year-old woman named Athena moves into your head.
- New 3D renders, made just for this game.
- Choices that stick. People remember how you treat them.
- A bigger plan: eight episodes in three seasons.
Can I play it now?
Not yet. Episode I is still in production. There's no build to download today. We'll say so on Patreon and Discord the day it's ready. The downloads page will list it then.
How much will it cost?
$10, one time. If you already own Bancroft Academy on Steam, it's free for you. The free copy on itch.io does not count.
Can I still play the old game?
Yes. Bancroft Academy is free on itch.io, up to version 2.6.
Will my old saves work?
No. Signed in Secret is a brand-new game, so everyone starts fresh.
How do I keep up?
Follow us on Patreon. It's free to follow. A paid pledge is monthly, and you can cancel anytime. Paid supporters get new builds sooner, but everyone plays the same game. You can also read the plain facts about Signed in Secret.
