Sure, but there are many playable aspects. Murder mysteries, academia spaces, secret societies, collegiate houses ,gloomy atmosphere, occult elements... That's like saying you can't play a steampunk or cyberpunk game because it's an aesthetic. There are dark academia books.

I was thinking gumshoe since it's a murder mystery or quickstart cthulhu 6th edition. The idea is for players to be students with low lethality, so it makes sense they'd devote some time to creating their character as opposed to rules-lite systems where you make your PC real quick.
