Y'know, having not been familiar with any of these people before playing, it really is a well-written and fun game. That said, it was awkward and in some cases uncomfortable to get to know these characters, say "hey, they seem cool here and they're all content creators, maybe I should check out the real people", and be confronted with the reality of some of the people and relationships IRL.
TL;DR: It's a good game, but I will never play or read anything fictional that involves real living people ever again.
Can relate, I had no prior knowledge of these people, so I used that knowledge to tell myself the ones in game were simply characters, but ya, I'm with you on not liking fiction using real people.
I'm probably one of the few who played this game not knowing who the guys were, and i was very shocked when i saw they weren't as attractive as their characters,haha. Great game,though!
Yikes, seeing this project of devoted fans now stirs up so many wrong emotions. Half of the group are estranged or very passive. They threw JonTron out, who ironically is now by far the most successful. And with those non-allegation against Jared makes it twice as uncomfortable seeing him together with young girls in this game. I ones played this game to remind me how much heart went into its development to praise great people who enlightenen millions of peoples days. Now I cant go through a single line without disgust and despise.
I... I've played you game 7hours in a row ! I couldn't stop myself ! And I'm still full of emotions when I write this ! Oh my god ! Your game was amazing ! No, it's still amazing ! Your game IS amazing ! It touched my heart every single moment that I couldn't stand it ! I'm here, still gigling because it was so cute, heartwarming and pleasing !
I just did like I was Hanna and I fell in love with PBG, he was so cute the first time he went to talk to me with his shyness and his little way of putting an invisible hat on his head ! So cute ! How did you do that??? How did you manage to make such a overly cute game ?? ARGH I'm so hypped right now, I'm in love with all of this !
Ps : I didn't know what was the normal boots but now I'm curious :o
Hey so I was playing this game recently because I remembered playing it long ago. Then I showed it to a friend who wanted to play it, I was talking about it, and then we though "What if we make characters based off this game?". Now I've made a club jacket design and character and really want to make a webcomic story based off it. I honestly don't mind if you say no I just wanted to ask first before I do anything more.
I tried to download this game around twelve times and it keeps on failing to download with only 3-7mb left... Could someone give me an alternative link?
Probably one of the best visual novels I've ever played. The pacing of the story is so excellent. It creates a soothing atmosphere almost a kin to spending the night at a friends house. It's warm hearted, funny, and emotional.
I have to say. This is definitely one of my favorite games ever. I may have a hard time getting the good endings and it may have been impossible getting the best endings. But I love this game. The intro music never ever fails to put a smile on my face. I love it. Hana's character is probably the most dynamic character I have ever had the chance to play as. It makes my heart beat faster every time I play. I hope Illus Seed comes out with more games like this!
I've only played four routes so far: Jared, Shane, Paul, and PBG (listed in the order of how much I enjoyed them). But wow. This is by far one of the best otome/visual novel games that I have ever played.
The artwork and mechanics are lovely. The storyline is fully fleshed out, with wonderful dialogue, flawed but realistic and adorable characters, and an engaging series of events.
There are many choices in the game, and I felt that they all rightfully had significance on the ending. The pacing of the storyline is wonderful as well; the big competition day is the overhanging conflict of the game, and it remains so up all the way through the end. This team did an exceptional job of balancing romance, character development, and side stories with the central issue.
I loved playing as Hana, and was so pleasantly surprised by the development of her character. Her relationship with her father and her openness about her shy demeanor/experience being bullied was incredibly touching--bullying is a topic that I feel games/anime too often water down and take advantage of, but you guys did an amazing job bringing it home. I teared up while reading the letters between her and her amazing father, and was so proud to see her finally be so happy.
I also liked how Hana grows and evolves as a character depending on which route we take. I enjoyed Jared, Shane, and Paul's route so much because of how much Hana broke out of her shell and began to gain confidence in her instincts and self-worth--and how it varied for each boy. She didn't take Shane's hot-cold bullshit, called out Jared for being selfish, and walked out on Paul when he was being unreasonable. That was probably why I didn't enjoy PBG's route so much; I felt neither really grew as individuals while in a relationship with each other, that Hana stayed inside that shell.
Another route-specific complaint I have would be Paul's character development. I liked the story outline, but felt that his romantic feelings for Hana was too rushed. The redemption for all of his denial/insecurity over the class election didn't tie up all the ends--especially when I consider all of the tears Hana shed over him to Mai. A little more angst, a little more pining/jealousy, some more scenes and conversations...that would've hit the spot!
Also, Mai is possibly the best friend I've ever met--I could not agree more with her dialogue about why it was important to hold Jared accountable for his shitty actions. And the fact that she was willing to let Hana be happy with the boy she was crazy for? What an incredible, incredible friend. I was really happy to see in Jared's route that Mai and PBG get together; personally, I think they are a better couple than Hana and PBG, and their energies match each other so well. ^.^
Great, great, great, great (gosh I use that word too much to describe this game but it is so true) game. I've recommended this to so many people, and I will continue to do so! Will definitely come back to tip this amazing team when I get the funds haha.
Am still playing through, more episodes to come of the playthrough soon! I'm absolutely loving it! The Small Voice Acting parts, the music, the artwork - all fab! Please make more. (You should make one called Asagao Academeow where everyone is cats!)
I finished this game a while ago and found it really enjoyable. The art was cute, the characters were endearing, and some endings were heartbreaking. One complaint I have is that I recently started up the game again to replay a route and found that all of my data had been erased except for my saves. All of the scenes, endings, and CGs are gone. Just wanted to make you guys aware of this if there's any way to fix it.
I can't tell you how much I love this game. My friend told me about this game and how highly addictive it was, and so I thought to myself, "I just gotta check this out and see what it's all about." And, to my surprise, I was hooked on it within the first 10 minutes of playing it, and now, every chance I get, I go back and reply the whole thing. I'm actually in the middle of doing a runthrough right now on my twitch channel, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to be very fun. This game is definitley a game to play on your own in private, but besides that, it's such a wonderful game that got me into so many new things. Whenever they introduced the main characters and their "rival club," Hidden Block, it sorta piqued my interest and I went and did some searching about them on my own, and I got hooked on them to say the least. Especially the Hidden Block guys. This game has opened so many new doors for me for so many new opportunities to expand myself in every way, and it's just so amazing. I love this game.
I've just started this game and I'm already loving it! The graphics are gorgeous, the little voice acting additions really add to the immersion - so happy I'm playing it for my channel!
I only just started playing, but I already love it so much X3 Hana's voice actor just adds to her adorable demeanor, and so do the voices, as well as narration and dialogue! I seriously recommend it to anyone looking for a good time.
OMG! This is the best thing ever! I haven't laughed this hard in as long as I can remember! BTW: I totally want to play Dumbidoom's Revenge! Thanks for a much needed bout of belly laughter on a rotten sick day!
Not a bad game so far, but most of the love interests look more like 30-40 year olds instead of high school guys... It's a little weird... IJS LOL I just started playing, though, so I can't give a real review yet. LOL I know, "Shut up, Charming!!!" haha.
Absolutely amazing game! I just wish that there was an option to skip the intro since I have to go through it dozens of times because my computer crashes a lot..
I ran into a problem while playing. Every time I boot up the game my latest save files were deleted, and I had to play Day Five and after that all over again. This problem keeps happening to me. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please help me.
That just happened to me! It didn't happen the second time I played it but when I just loaded it all my files and progress were gone. Now I have to get all the way back to day 3 from the beginning...
Have I mentioned how much I love the drums in the theme song? Because I booted up the latest version of this game, and I love the drums in that opening sequence.
I have a friend who wants to play Asagao Academy, but she has a chromebook and is unable to play the game. Can someone please tell me how to run Asagao Academy on a chromebook?
My only suggestion is to not buy a chromebook until the chrome OS is capable of doing anything, but I guess it's too late for y'all. I have a chromebook, too, but I'm lucky enough to also have a hand-me-down laptop from my sister as well. Chromebooks can run games like this if you essentially break them into making them run another OS, but I do believe that risks bricking the thing entirely.

How very unfortunate. Games with self inserts are destined to age like milk

NON-allegations?

I'll wait forever if I have to, I just need the Mai route.

Hello yes when can we get a Mai route, I love her with all my heart and I want to date her

Probably one of the best visual novels I've ever played. The pacing of the story is so excellent. It creates a soothing atmosphere almost a kin to spending the night at a friends house. It's warm hearted, funny, and emotional.
10/10 will be playing again.

Just curious.... has anyone gotten a good end?
At my third attempt, yes. Took a while :)
I ran into a problem while playing. Every time I boot up the game my latest save files were deleted, and I had to play Day Five and after that all over again. This problem keeps happening to me. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please help me.

Thanks for the great time me and my sister had playing this. We both watch YouTube religiously, so this was hilarious. Good job.
Have I mentioned how much I love the drums in the theme song? Because I booted up the latest version of this game, and I love the drums in that opening sequence.
Is it possible to date creeps mcpasta in this game?
OMG YES!! CAN WE???
I third that!!!
I have a friend who wants to play Asagao Academy, but she has a chromebook and is unable to play the game. Can someone please tell me how to run Asagao Academy on a chromebook?
Same!
I feel the same way! I've been watching this game since its Kickstarter and I'm sad that I can't play it because I only have a Chromebook.
My only suggestion is to not buy a chromebook until the chrome OS is capable of doing anything, but I guess it's too late for y'all.
