Other games are based on the subject being taught. When teaching music, you’re asked to repeat a sequence of taps on a xylophone similar to the old Simon game. In geography, you have to pin a flag to its matching country on a map.

Each day is broken up into morning and afternoon sessions. Each session is focused on a specific subject, per the agenda you set at the beginning of the week, but you can change the schedule on any given day. After class, you can tutor one student in a subject of your choosing. The game keeps stats on each student so you can see in which subjects they’re weak, and at which they excel.

You can also earn extra points by cleaning the classroom to customize the appearance of the class with items you purchase from the teacher’s lounge. Since there’s nothing else on which to spend your money, you can feel free to spend liberally without worrying about having to make the rent.

Overall, Imagine Teacher feels like a love sim with mini-games plugged into it. It’s always great to see a game focused on building relationships rather than destroying them (not to mention the people involved in them). However, the relationship between students and teacher in the game is peripheral at best, and feels pretty mechanical in its application. At its core, Imagine Teacher is predominantly a collection of mini-games built around an academic theme.
