You're right, it's Mech, I looked it up before writing it and I still forgot, sorry. If they are not the same developer, I'm sure they have some kind of connection, the character models are the same (I know this is common in these visual novels but in this case all the characters seem to repeat themselves), and in addition to the code both stories fail in the same aspects, especially in the ending, they end exactly the same, everything that is being criticized at the end of Monster College can also be applied to Mech Academy, perhaps it is a simple coincidence and I am overthinking the situation, or maybe not...(It's called Mech Academy)
I was interested in this claim (I suggested the dev may have to release another game under another name after MC's ending, so I was interested to see if they've already done this). So I had a quick look at the code and it seems like this may actually be the case. There are a lot of similarities in the code. Either the two separate devs are working off the same Italian first codebase, they're the same person, or use the same Italian developer (and different writers/artists).
It's interesting that Mech Acadmey's new game, Mutant College, has some similarities in code, but also some big differences. I wonder if the writers/artists/devs behind these games are switching up who they work with.
