❤ Chaotic and Unpredictable Gameplay

Players consistently praise the game's ability to create a sense of complete randomness and unpredictability in the school environment. You can find yourself in wildly varying scenarios, from getting beaten up by teachers for minor infractions, such as using a water bottle, to accidentally committing acts of terrorism, like blowing up classmates, and facing the consequences. This uncontrolled chaos is a major part of the game's appeal, as you never know what to expect from moment to moment.

❤ Sophisticated Combat System

Underneath the absurd and chaotic exterior lies a surprisingly sophisticated combat system. Drawing inspiration from wrestling, the game allows you to perform a variety of grappling moves, throws, and strikes against both classmates and teachers. While the combat system can be janky at times, it provides a satisfying way to physically interact with the world and respond to the unpredictable threats you face, such as a teacher jumping from desk to desk to attack you.

❤ Branching Relationships and Consequences

Navigating the complex web of relationships with other students, teachers, and authority figures is a key part of the gameplay. You can form friendships, rivalries, and even familial bonds, all of which have meaningful consequences. Actions taken against others, whether violent or otherwise, can lead to unique reactions and outcomes, such as a teacher praising your "good points" after you beat them with a shovel. The review praises this system for allowing you to shape your school experience through your choices and relationships.

❤ Time Management Challenges

One of the primary gameplay challenges revolves around time management. You must balance attending classes, socializing with peers, and dealing with unexpected situations, all while the in-game clock keeps ticking. Reviews note that this can be frustrating, as dialogue and interactions can often cause you to miss important class sessions or deadlines. However, this element of time pressure also adds to the overall sense of chaos and stress that defines the experience.

❤ Emergent Gameplay and Replayability

The combination of chaotic events, branching relationships, and time management challenges leads to a highly emergent gameplay experience. No two playthroughs are ever the same, as you encounter unique situations and outcomes based on your choices and the unpredictable behavior of the AI-controlled characters. This sense of replayability and unpredictability is a major draw, as you can create your own unique "school experience" every time you play.
