High School Revenge (WIP) (Chapter 4 OUT, +182k words, Nov 30, 2025)

IIRC it depends on which one of those two was MC’s old crush. Since it changes what role they’ve played in the Tragedy – the crush does public humiliation thing while the other one runs the interference with the help of their dogs.

Hmm and you got them swapped? They seem to be labeled correctly in my playthrough with Cecily as the crush:

Restarting a fresh game they worked as they should. Perhaps reloading it from a save caused a little buggery. I have had that happen sometimes with other games. I went ahead and deleted my post, but once again, thanks for the info.

Who are the two ROs we can sleep with? I want to play their route to see. For all of my playthroughs, I’ve just been consistently going down the Haley and Angela paths since their so wholesome

Olivia and Isaac

Hey, I choose the 'No Tattoos’ option and still got the second paragraph, which wouldn’t be a problem if I got a tattoo. I feel like this paragraph should be changed or just erased entirely as it doesn’t really flow smoothly. Why would the MC regret not having a tattoo? He can just get it later, whereas removing the tattoo would be harder.

It might be me, but I got Dylan to ask me out, and when I chose the “no option” it just went to the list of dateable people.

Yeah, Dylan’s section is kind of buggy, with direct jumps that skip both MC’s reactions and the potential wrap-up:

      #"Can I give you my answer later?" I postpone my decision.
//...
        *goto homecoming_date_choice
        The crowd silently waits for Dylan's answer, as he seems to be a bit stumped by your words. Maybe he only imagined a 'yes' or 'no', not a 'maybe'?
//...
      #"No, sorry."
//...
        *goto homecoming_date_choice
        
        The crowd gasps and the posse slowly lower the banner.
//...

Those *goto calls can be safely removed, i think.

Couple minor things:
Original:

She looks away, then back at you with a teasing smile. “Of course, I you moved all the way to the town of millionaires cause you had to take me to homecoming. Charming.”

Suggestion: Remove the ‘I’ after Of course.

Original:

The girl blinks against a wall of phone lights, the nearest kids lifting cameras like spotlights. The whole school, and anyone they forward this to, will see what happens next. Just when it looks like she might turn and leave, she moves in and

throws her arms around Isaac, kissing him on the mouth

Suggestion: There is a space separating a sentence.

I absolutely loved the Demo, it’s not often we have “revenge” as the main concept, and I really like the vision of this story in particular. I often don’t even want to play as a villain, but it actually feels deserving and rewarding to be as such (even if that too leads to negative consequences for MC; whole idea of MC losing themselves to revenge is really interesting to explore too)

What I’m really looking forward to the most is to homewreck Michael and Vivian’s relationship (it’s definitely a slow burn, but I am very guilty of wanting to see it progress sooner). Not only do I want to see Michael break his motto of not cheating, and make him fall for MC, but than have an option to break his heart, since he was my MC’s crush. To me it just feels like a great revenge: first it would break the whole “popular kids” group dynamic, kinda like breaking them apart, and second getting Michael as this protective crazy boyfriend feels like a really strong advantage/arsenal to use in the future.

Thank you for such a fun read, Author! Can’t wait to see what more is to come! (English is not my first language, so sorry in advance for potential mistakes)

High school dramas aren’t generally my thing anymore, but I did very much enjoy the demo. Good work! ^-^

Since you mentioned, I added in the post description at the top, in the hidden ROs section, the image of Cecily and the newly released image of Olivia, since those are the only ones I made public. :+1:

Nah, I don’t need them anymore. Thanks everyone who sent theirs over, it really helped me understand better how a normal playthrough can go!

Fixed this, thanks for the heads up! MC does not regret doing… nothing.

Btw @fsix and @Lys, I haven’t been ignoring all your bug reports, I’ve been silently fixing all of them! I’d like to say “keep them coming” but I’d rather there wouldn’t be anymore more bugs to find haha

honestly olivia looks so much better than cecily that it begs the question why mc would ever crush over cecily and not olivia even if going by looks only (non looks wise it’s already no contest)

after a fumble that big some (olivia herself maybe) might think mc deserved a kick but the tragedy was way WAY overkill. plus beauty is subjective, eye of the beholder and whatnot but damn young mc had shit taste in women imo

kinda wonder if dylan might outdo michael in the male looks department too (and thus proving young mc also had shit taste in men…though it could have been shittier if isaac was a crush option) but i imagine he changed a lot more dramatically after his whole influencer phase began and he became less genuine (olivia probably glowed up too but shes recognizably the same person judging by “exactly the same 7 years later”)

Anime style art isn’t exactly great at showing differences in appearance, with everyone suffering a lot from the “same face” syndrome. So it can often reduce things to what hair color/style and maybe clothes you find personally more attractive. But if the game establishes Cecily as highly attractive then she is, no matter if a single picture does her justice.

The MC might also suffer a bit from the “i’ve known this person since early childhood and i see her more like a platonic friend than a pretty girl” effect. That said, they do recognize occasionally that Olivia is pretty – right before the Tragedy where they see her dressed up instead of her common outfits, e.g. But by that point, well.

(also, iirc Olivia had shorter hair as a kid, MC notes that her hair is long now. That might or might not make a difference to some, and it means she didn’t look exactly like she does in this picture)

not to mention the game is framed from mcs pov so yeah if mc says shes attractive to them then yep she is. ill still jab at my character for having shit taste tho (if not in appearance then perhaps in personality…tho im sure many folks here are into that too lol, some of y’all are even into isaac)

You’re welcome. At this point, the stuff I’m finding is mostly spelling/punctuation/format. Speaking of which:

Original: “Come one, Michael…” Vivian places a hand on him, as she guides him away from Buster’s head.

Suggestion: one should be on

Original: “Circe! And my favorite woman of all time!” Riding solo… Right on time for the show!"

Suggestion: Two things here. The first is you don’t need the quote marks after time! since the sentence continues. The second is that the Riding solo seems a little weird to me. Now, if the player is going without a date, that would make sense. With someone feels a bit odd.

Original: I did exactly what i came back to do.

Suggestion: the second ‘i’ should be capitalized.

Loving this!

Out of curiosity, who are the three ROs who can ask you to HoCo?

I know there’s Haley and Isaac’s but I cant figure out who the third person is.

Dylan is the third one. But it requires MC to be quite popular, on good terms with Dylan and not to be a guy.

Ohhhhhh

Given how he reacts to a proposal from MaleMC, that actually makes so much sense.

Thanks

Saw a some errors while playing… Gonna do a Lys impression here, lol.

Original: “I don’t want inside the car! I was just waiting for you to finish and talk to you…”

Context: chapter three when meeting Dylan and flirting with him

Suggestion: “I don’t wanna go inside the car! Was just waiting for you so we could talk”

In the first sentence the verb is missing and the whole phrasing feels a little bit odd for an informal conversation, also, putting two “I’s” so close together, makes it even more odd. However, if you want to go with Dylan being more formal and conscious I suppose you could do something like “I don’t want to go inside the car! Was just waiting for you to finish so we could talk” taking out the “wanna” and putting a “finish” in it, but even being formal, repeating the “I” looks strange.

Also, a small change in the same page:

Original: “Most people here can be really intimidating, and I wanted to say… you can come to me if you ever have any problems.”

The three dots here feel a little bit redundant.

Suggestion: “Most people here can be really intimidating, and I wanted to say that you can come to me if you ever have any problems”

After that, in chapter 4, at the game when the student you paid to give Olivia the ice cream appears there’s a little error with them (in my case, Naomi) disappearing and appearing again, lol.

"‘Than—’ before Olivia can respond, Naomi disappears in the crowd of fans, as Olivia notices what she just received.

‘I’m sorry!’ The freshman shouts before running away."

Apart from that, there was a typo when talking with Wren in the gym, doing the grandiose plan, too, in the scene there’s a sentence that’s written like this:

“Maybe he just wants to know how close you are to pushing the his moral boundaries?”

Also, a suggestion

In Michael’s party when you choose to bring Helen with you this is written

“You already packed two bottles of whiskey from the study”

But when you enter his house is written:

“With your lone Bottle of whisky in hand you walk up to the front entrance”

Well, it could be said that the bottles were one for you and one for Helen, but isn’t said in the text about her having one or you picking up her bottle. So it isn’t an error per se, but it’s a little bit confusing in my vision what happened with the second bottle. To prevent this maybe mc could hold two bottles? Or Helen could be seen holding her’s.
