messages after each route was what motivated to fully finish everything. it all felt really artistic and intriguing for a game that kinda serves itself as a joke.

wish we had more yuri though

fun game, games nowadays r too sensitive, this ones a classic, dark humor at its finest.

Honestly one of my favourite games, the dialogue and story lines are so funny. All the characters are terrible people, but at the same time you root for them. Though some topics are quite heavy.

Overall: engaging and hilarious

While I loved this game, there are a lot of things about it that I didn't like.

The good:
- Amazing writing, voice acting, and comedic timing
- Lots of endings
- Love the implicit story building and foreshadowing in the texts (and everywhere else, really)

Despite being awful people, most of the characters are still entertaining and loveable in some way. Even the dumbass guys and Lynn. But not the other teachers.

Nicole especially impresses me because she's the horrible person. She's not a predator or abuser, but she happily takes advantage of others anyways, even if just for fun with no actual gain, but the game lets you explore several paths of her either reflecting on what she did, or just going to the bank and never looking back. This lets pretty much anyone see a part of themselves in her.

I don't think the truth in what Nicole says is the key bit here. I feel the appeal is in the shameless rawness in which she expresses herself, regardless of what she does. Even while she's talking Jeffrey out of killing himself, she's not even trying to be nice, she's just being realistic in a way that they understand, making them look at themselves and go: "wait, no, I'm being dumb, you're right."

Do I agree with everything she says and does? Hell ♥♥♥♥ no. But is it entertaining nonetheless, making me feel awful for laughing at Jeffery being ♥♥♥♥ on? Absolutely.

The bad: they gimped the visual novel UX. The first few organic playthroughs were fun, but getting all the endings was an annoying, tedious slog.

At first, I was just really eager to see what the game had to offer to me, so I ignored this, but in retrospect, I really hated having to guess which paths lead somewhere different. It would've been fine if only a handful of the same choices lead to the same endings, but it's more like ~50% of your choices lead to the same 2-3 endings. Especially without the "skip seen dialog" option that exists in every Ren'Py game (why did they remove it?? isn't it there by default?), making me rely on memory to know where I went or didn't go felt like a kick in the balls. If that's what they were going for, great! But I didn't enjoy that. In addition to "skip seen dialog", something to tell you which choices you've already made, that would've made this a lot more enjoyable.

The Re-Up strikes a way better balance in this regard: more choices are meaningful with lots more depth per path. But this game is still well worth playing.

watched as jeffery was killed 10/10

Definitely not your average visual novel.

It's dark, funny, and cynical in all the right places.

Good sociopath fun and a grain of dark comedy here and there. Nicole is someone I sometimes wish to be

This is good :D

Reminded me to get high

This game not only provides a good time for just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around in a high school setting, but also quite prevalent social commentary about issues that still plague our society today, definitely worth a play by anyone with a couple of hours to spare
