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

I don’t dig into the game mechanics so I can’t tell if it really changes anything, but at the moment I would say no. However, I see this as the author making up for a long term thing for the story and at some point she won’t.

Perhaps the cat will warm to your presence, and this might rub off on Cecily as well…or drive her jealousy. Heck, I can even see a possible interaction in later weeks where we might go off by ourself and bribe the cat to come to us instead. I mean, if the cat doesn’t go to Cecily first, she won’t like that.

Fsix gave some good advice here. Other things I do is at the party, either help her yell out the frustration or compliment her quick. If this goes off, I always like to hook the ‘pinky’ thing.

If you go to the group outside, they’ll ask ‘what’s up’…choose the ‘sky’ answer to get a laugh from cecily, though this tends to tank the other people.[/spoiler]

Guys, I swear to god, I vividly remember reading a scene of Haley smoking on the rooftop. but I cannot find it in the game files, am I going crazy, or am I just not looking enough?

It’s the latter :v

(this is during the initial drawing club event, specifically drawing_event_1 which is stored in file with content for Chapter 3)

I went code diving after @fsix responded, and uhm. Apparently Haley can have an obsessions stat… I wonder what that means. (Please be a yandere :sob: )

So true, I like Haley too much to do the punch plan :disappointed_face:

You might want to put that stuff under a spoiler; not everyone appreciates being told such things out of a blue and without having asked.

As for what it means… at the moment i’m guessing Haley has been stalking the MC for a while now, and she’s started before the MC came to their current school. Perhaps from around the time Isaac re-posted the Creep video as the “blast from the past”? You can discover that she’s got an elaborate painting of MC the way they appear now as the “creep king/queen”, in her private collection.

MC: after the last plot, ruining everyone’s life

Cecily: things can’t get any worse

Miss Meatballs: Meows as she jumps on MC’s legs

Just another spacing thing:

Original: He studies you for a few seconds before

gently easing his hand back. “I… don’t think I can. Not yet.”

Suggestion: There is a space after ‘before’

Original: You’ve seen enough. You’re have to be in. The loss doesn’t matter, you were clearly a tier above most rookies.

Suggestion: Change the You’re in the second sentence to You have to be in.

Original: You do your best hit a nice shot that gets you on first base, with the cheer of the crowd following your advance.

Suggestion: I think you should put ‘and’ after ‘your best’

How do you get to see it?

Is it actually possible to go with Dylan as male mc? I mean he was my first choice and I tried since he was mc’s former best friend and I wanted to reconnect but it seems to be impossible to get really close to him as a boy, so then I just went, like most others, for the main course instead and dated Isaac instead. Edit, is Isaac the only male ro who will go to the homecoming with a male mc? Because I just tried a music focused one and got turned down by Connor and Michael has a girlfriend.

You get an opportunity to briefly snoop around Isaac’s and Haley’s house if Isaac is your homecoming date and you come to his place after the event. Each location gives you a hint for one of their secrets, though if i’m not mistaken you only get enough time to check one.

No, he won’t ask the male mc out and will turn down any attempts to ask him out (although doing it in private offers a clue to one of his secrets, so you might want to do it anyway) Still, you’d think there would be at least some people with female MC who’d want to give the boy a try, smh.

I went with Dylan! …mostly because I wanted to see his reaction when you do the livestream commenter plan. Plus he asked :person_shrugging:

I think Dylan now, grown up likely a bit more toned and muscular and very fashionable at 17/18 absolutely does with his K-pop star looks, however Dylan at 11 is likely a different story, just as mc was at that age. Although I still think male mc in the present and Isaac might be the hottest guys, annoying but at least to me the Devil wasn’t exaggerating that he is a 10, I also consider my male mc to be one, with Dylan being a 9/9.5 in my mind, with the thing that sets Dylan in the present time apart from my own mc and Isaac for me isn’t looks but that Dylan seems to lack a certain amount of daring and boldness and Michael at 17/18 a solid 8 and then Connor rounding out that shallow, purely looks (and fashion) rated list at 7.5. Yes I know very shallow and objectifying of me but at least fantasy boys can be shamelessly objectified. :winking_face_with_tongue:

This is not a bug, and sort of a continuity thing with Marcus. If you told him why you are out for revenge, you can get this line at the dance:

Original: “Hell yeah, it is. You don’t even trust me to tell me who you are… But you… like me? I… don’t know how to feel about that…”

Suggestion: Now, when you meet him the first time, and tell him why you want revenge, you don’t exactly give him your name but you do mention the video. I admit, i would think he would look it up later, and find your name. I understand if you don’t, but maybe a different line in the middle of: “You don’t even trust me to tell me who you are” might work better. You could have him say something along the lines of, You already had me with tearing them down…and then the rest of the sentence.

That actually is a bug :>

        *if marcus_knows != 2
          "Hell yeah, it is. You don't even trust me to tell me who you are… But you… like me? I… don't know how to feel about that…"
          
          "My past is… complicated. But I know you're the one I need by my side to finish this."
        *if marcus_knows = 2
          "It's… a bit? I mean, I don't know. I guess I never thought I had a chance…"
          
          "You do. You're exactly who I need by my side to end this."

The checks here should be for value of 1 instead of 2. The error stems from game using different value for Angela who was told MC’s full story (angela_knows = 2 in such case) and one for Marcus who knows full story (marcus_knows = 1 in such case) and i’m guessing author forgot that when writing this bit.

Heyaaa, I’m back with two redundancy suggestions for ya.

First is when going to the art club before the homecoming

Original “Haley says she’s going solo to the dance ‘just to dance.’ The leader already has a date.”

The “dance” two times fells a little bit off, maybe you can change it to ball

Suggestion: “Haley says she’s going solo to the ball, ‘just to dance.’ The leader already has a date.”

Second one is at the game, when you’re playing it

Original: “Still, maybe you can still do something to help or destroy the team’s performance in the end here?”

“Still” two times, maybe switch it for a “but”

Suggestion: “But maybe you can still do something to help or destroy the team’s performance in the end here?”

Also, one spelling error (I think that’s the name?) after you ask Cecily to be your date in homecoming

Original: “If anyone even tries to ask to the dance again, I’ll make sure to strip them naked and put their pictures on my Cameragram”

I suppose you forgot a “me”

Suggestion: “If anyone even tries to ask me to the dance again, I’ll make sure to strip them naked and put their pictures on my Cameragram”

Another thing, after you go to Isaac’s “prank” in the homecoming with Cecily as your date, she says this:

“That is enough spectacle. Let’s sit for a second. My feet are killing me.”

And you get the choice to choose another thing to do at the ball, but it’s a little strange since she wants to sit. It would make more sense if you went to the roof to sit, not return to the ball.

Thanks for confirming it. Heh, I don’t really dig into the code, so I could sort of see where Marcus might say “don’t really know you” such as knowing each other a few weeks.

A slightly different thing:

Original: “Yeah, miss Perfect here doesn’t want to drink on school grounds,” Michael says. “So she’s just here to warn us if a teacher shows up. Now, you in or not?”

Suggestion: I think ‘miss’ should be capitalized to Miss Perfect.
