      tw everything

      I got my brother arrested for pedophilia, every man had an incredible amount of red flags, got suspended for drugs, tried to be nice and ended up attempting suicide and getting a depressing monologue about medication and psychiatric practices.

      Edit: I have now gotten a job modeling for a Nazi

                I know that period of our lives can be edgy but I wonder if it was as edgy as the game portrays it

                  cw similar content to the game

                  My initial thought was no, but after going through all the endings, I realized almost all of them happened or came close to happening. We almost had a shooting or two, the basketball coach tried to cover up his star player making revenge porn, one teacher said the N word repeatedly, a few kids dropped out due to addiction, one got sent to boarding school, a few kids got bullied out, and a large portion of the student body attempted suicide at one point or another. This game just lets you be the central victim of all of those events with rapid pacing.

                    So after all that would you say the game was an experience? Something you'd recommend or give it a 10 foot stick treatment?

                      The content is fine, the only thing about it I didn't like is that there is so much resuse that the first eight endings are fun, but you need to spam click and follow a guide for the last eight. It's only fun for 2 or 3 hours and the last hour is a bit of a slog.

      I've played it before, it's super edgy but in such an over the top way that it's funny. Only "ironic" visual novel I've ever enjoyed. CW for basically everything though.
      I think whether it lands depends on whether you were in an American high school in the late 00s/early 10s, there are some deep cuts. There's a moment where they go to FYE and my brain just melted for a minute

      I heard it was "white girl boondocks" and I had to buy it. I'll reply once I've played it.

          There was one line that plays on my head daily

          mean violence posting

          "Oh yeah? Why don't I slit your throat so I can watch the honor roll out?"

          "Are you threatening me??"

          "No, I'm hitting on you; flash me a titty, bitch"

            my favorite is:

            "... one... fis huh, tuwoah fis..huh"

            "Are you serious?"

            "Come on, you picked a hard one on purpose!"

            "It's a Doctor Seuss book you dipshit!"
