The core of the game revolves around highschool student Makoto Ito, a first-year classmen who lusts for Kotonoha Katsura, a demure yet physically beautiful and matured girl for her age. School Days HQ is no exception to these scenarios, depicting several instances of sexual acts between the main and supporting cast, amongst other things better left unspoiled.ĭespite her reservations, Makoto likes to touch his busty girlfriend Kotonoha A “choose-your-own-adventure” book for the digital era, only with more adult themes and for many VN’s, graphic violence and strong sexual imagery. More choices will follow, until the path you choose becomes your own. While you don’t have much interaction initially, eventually you will be lead to make choices via the in-game menu which in effect, can send you spiraling off on a completely different story arc. School Days resonated soundly with Japanese audiences because unlike most VN’s, it contained fully animated sequences for the entirety of the game whereas most visual novels had very little actual animation, with still pictures followed by Japanese voice acting over scrolling text. VN’s are immensely popular in Japan, using beautifully drawn static or animated images to convey a non-linear story. Do you try to initiate more physical contact with your quiet, reserved girlfriend and risk her pulling away because she’s mentally unprepared for an intimacy or do you go with your over-ambitious friend thats been discreetly seeking your attention since the start of the school year? These are the choices you must continually asses as School Days short, but nonetheless gripping, revolving love-triangle goes forward.įor the uninformed, and there are thousands of you to be sure, School Days HQ is high-definition retelling of Japanese developer Overflow’s anime-inspired original “ Visual Novel” (or VN for short), aptly titled School Days, released in 2005 becoming an instant hit in the east. There is no game over screen, you can’t die then respawn, health gauges are replaced with a constantly changing relationship strengh metric and the only battles you will fight are against morality and your libido.
School days is not a computer or video game in the typical sense that most would associate with.
