What is in the game?
* You play the Student Council President and direct your minions to solve randomly-generated mysteries. As you solve mysteries, you'll level up the skills of your minions, collect items to boost your stats, and socialise with people to learn more about them (and whether they're plotting against you).
* Everything your character says is a choice. It's RPG-style dialog.
* The game is 'complete' in terms of plot - you can get to the endings, you can have friendships and romances and so on with all applicable characters. Stuff might get added, but there's no gaping holes in the story.
* Bugs! Expect to run into them. When you do, there should be buttons for you to upload the error messages you encounter, but feel free to post about them anyway. And if you can't upload for whatever reason, then please do post the error messages in this thread.
* Updates! You will need the license key from your purchase email to download new patches as they are released. You can generally safely apply anything labeled 'beta' (and you might want to do that right away when you get your build, because already the builds are out of date). Spiky's announcing new patches as they're released. Don't download patches labeled 'alpha' unless we specifically tell you to - that means *I* haven't tested it yet, so it's more likely to go kaboom.
The first build is slightly touchy about inputting license codes - hover your mouse over the input area before typing things in. (this is fixed in a patch, but that's not much help if you need to patch up to it first! later builds will be different)* I'll post some more general information later but if you're somehow not familiar with this game despite the (how many years has it been?) that we've been working on it, you can get an overview and some screenshots at on IndieDB.
What is not (yet) in the game?
Many of the CGs are not done. You will see black screens at times where graphics are expected to show up later.
Extras like the gallery and jukebox don't exist yet.
Achievements aren't in yet.
"Make your own character" mode is not currently included. It's a feature I still want to add eventually.
What does Alpha mean here?
For my purposes, it means the game is playable but not finished. At this point in time, please don't make videos without explicit permission or post screenshots outside of this forum, because stuff may still change. (Like the missing graphics!)
But DO post all your questions and concerns and 'help what do I do' and 'AAAH THE SHARKS ARE EATING ME' comments in this thread! Post post post! Post screenshots of anything that looks weird, we don't know what you see unless you tell us!
