Let's Run a Gang of Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble!

This game is certainly unusual, but looks like fun.

And the real game hasn't even started yet... It's only been a warm-up.

Yup.

It does look p. interesting, might get it in one of those sales.

Get the gang a'rolling, Bee!

I'm speechless with horror.

The beginning of WORLD DOMINATION of the WOMYN

Oh god, we aren't even out of the tutorial and I'm already confused.

Great story telling!

Does Louise/ other girls always start with a fixed 3 girls wanting to join her?

Fantastic. I didn't really like the gameplay, but this will be a fun LP.

As easy enough to printscreen, so there's no reason not to finish it.

Alrighty, time to wrap the first (= tutorial) day up, so a short update is in order. Up and coming in a few moments.

There were also Ruby, Deborah and Gladys, making it six recruitable girls in toto. I just decided to roll with whichever girls first came my way for this LP.

Not sure if that depends on the choice of the gang queen, though.

Diary of a High School Rebel: Day 1, Part 3

6 p.m.

It was 6 p.m. already. High time one of the girls finally hooked up with a suitable boyfriend. Myself? I didn't need no dead weight, hmph.

The school patio seemed like a good place to go looking for one.



Having spotted Dapper Boy, I started thinking. His Glamour attribute must've been quite high, I figured -- one thing both Hazel and Jean were particularly weak at and could use a boost in. Jean ignored the boy, though (made me wonder...). Good thing Hazel was willing to go a-flirting.

• With that, we enter a tutorial game of Flirt. In this game, all of the girl's attributes are important: they represent the number of tokens you have at the beginning. The actual importance of each attribute varies depending on the boy you're flirting with. Each of the males has his own specific pattern of desires: he'll want certain tokens from you for the ones he gives. You win the game when the flirt meter fills up, and you lose it when you run out of the specific type of tokens the boy wants at the moment. Naturally, there's also randomness involved.
  
  This is a tutorial flirt game, so Dapper Boy's pattern is revealed to us as an example.

Whenever Dapper Boy flattered Hazel, she started batting her eyelashes like crazy. That was... painful to look at.



It worked the desired charm, but I was really glad it wasn't me doing ridiculous stuff like that.



Next moment, Hazel gave a coy smile at Dapper Boy's pathetic attempt at reasoning. Embarrassing.



And hooked he was. Breaking news: boys still as predictable as ever.



Hazel seemed to genuinely like the guy, though, so it was all good.



One meatshield acquired.

7 p.m.



Walking by the school basement, we spotted Myrtle... and Radio Boy. Heh.



I wondered just what she had in mind coming to this place. I could only think of one way to find out.

• (So, did someone ask about one of the girls being lesbian? )

What I found out was... amusing, to say the least.



Teasin' and tauntin' Liar Girl was the only logical next step. Hazel, dear, wouldn't you?

"You have the perfect personality -- for charming snakes."
"I heard something about you, but I shouldn't spread malicious rumors."
> "You should disown your mother for making those clothes."

(There was but one perfectly deadly option.)



Sheesh, that was easy. Liar Girl proved to be a complete pushover.



First the incident with Mildred, then this. It was a hilariously splendid day.



And again, the summer repairs apparently were to blame.



If that wasn't a pattern emerging... Tralala.



I was appreciating life to the fullest.

8 p.m.

Ruminating on the newest accidents, our gang, my gang, walked past the trolley...



...up to the Shady Tree, stumbling on three inviting ways to have some fun there:



Danger is the stuff my dreams are made of, so the choice was clear.



Bully Girl was definitely up to something mischievous... but hey, that was supposed to be my role! Taunting the rival felt like the only answer.

"If I were a cat, I'd claw your eyes out."
"You're so clumsy, you could cut yourself on a rubber band."
> "The army could use you, to dig latrines."



That one dog knew her trade, however.



Too bad she had extremely short memory.



And I came up with a better plan.

9 p.m.



Excited, we quickly ran to the south grounds!



What a shame! Caught up in the intrigue, I had totally forgot about the upcoming curfew. And now I had to wait till next morning. Such a disheartening end to such a fine day.

Next time: all's well that ends... accidentally.

I'm not convinced by the minigames but it seems the overall gameplay could lead to interesting things if there are serious c&c. Keep it up!

Good fun. Keep em coming

Diary of a High School Rebel: Day 2

8 a.m.

Up and awake, I had havoc to wreak!



Looking forward to follow up to what had happened the night before, we hurried to the south grounds. Only to find Bully Girl had already beaten us to it, dang.



That had been my idea! I was so angry, but... whatever. We ran up to Lucille to savour the amusing little accident, at least.

9 a.m.





However, it turned out the joke hadn't quite gone as planned. Under the water pressure, a loose sprinkler part had detached and hit Lucille in the back. Again, there was nothing else to blame but the summer repairs...

• (Sometimes you get the option to play a mini-game solely for additional experience: e.g., the Fib option that Hazel has in the above screenshot will land her an experience point if she wins the game, but won't alter the outcome of the situation or the dialogue you get.)

Interesting, thought I: not only was the nurse covering up the accidents, but Bully Girl seemed to know something about that. Could merit additional investigation.



10 a.m.



Having witnessed three new accidents already, the girls got slightly concerned. They needed a little disctraction, so we went to the gym.



Varsity Boy was quite popular at the school, so I thought he was just what Helen needed to boost her self-confidence.



Unfortunately (if expectedly), he proved to be a bit out of her league.



So we went to the basement instead, hoping to spy on Maximilian maybe.



Instead, we found Eleanor and Mr. Cane there. I smelt danger and fun.



Thaddeus wanted us to persuade Eleanor. Jean went for it.

• (What's wrong, Eleanor?)

Eleanor wouldn't budge. It was time for me to assist Jean by exposing the wheelchair girl's motives.



Aha, you naughty girl! So there was an all-too-worldly explanation behind your stubbornness.

Given that, there was but one way Eleanor could be persuaded --



-- by opening up an even more alluring prospect to her!



(Naturally, I made my best to ensure everyone 'round the school got to know about the confident manner in which I handled Eleanor, so my popularity received quite a boost for some time.)



And suddenly, another accident took place! It looked like someone had replaced a thick steel plate with a burnt cookie sheet, hmm.

Poor Eleanor; I somewhat pitied her. Ending up even more injured, all for the sake of some stupid boys.



Everything was starting to look clear as day. We obviously didn't need those notes any more.

11 a.m.

We thought we'd wander around the school a bit for the time being, to gain more experience in the ways of mischief.



Obviously, we'd been ignoring the classes lately. Classes are boring. Still, it could be fun to see if we were missed, so we entered the Social Studies classroom.



Helen was the only one we could count on in a situation like this. She had to be the one to do the bluffing.



Thankfully, Helen quickly came up with a suitable title for the assigned paper.



Distracted by other concerns, Mrs. Fragette didn't bother to check if we actually turned that paper in.

• By the way, Martha and Betsy in question are Martha Washington and Betsy Ross.

12 p.m

At the gym, Varsity Boy attempted hitting on the girls again, but we let Hazel shove him off this time.



He was just too uncool for anyone but Helen, who wasn't his type anyway.

Checking on the Math & Science classroom, we stumbled upon Alma in there -- trying to pry a desk open!



Good timing. Naturally, I wanted to find out what it was she was so desperately trying to hide.



Stock prices were at stake, eh? The matter looked serious... and appealing. I wondered if I could somehow lay my hands on that tape.

• Ticker tape was the earliest digital electronic communications medium, transmitting stock price information over telegraph lines.

So I decided to "help" Alma out.

1 p.m.



Now we only needed to fetch the pry-bar from the gym.



Unfortunately, Coach Gustav kept getting in the way. Teaching him a lesson in trickery was the only option. Our glamorous Hazel felt like fibbing.



And down he went, out-tricked. Silly men, thinking they can keep everything under control.

• (Hah, I totally must write down that phrase.)

We snatched the crowbar, thereby increasing our options in dealing with any kind of locked situation!



2 p.m.

I returned to Alma with a pry-bar in my hand. I was itching for some action!



Arrogant as ever, Alma thought she could do away with ordering me around like that. That was her mistake. For now, however, I decided to play along.

• Now that we have a usable item, we get a new command, Use item. Fancy!

The gods up high were on my side, however, and everything went even better than I could've expected. That should teach you, Alma.



More importantly, the current stock prices were ours! Boy, were we feeling smart.

3 p.m.

That had been yet another in the long series of accidents, and we knew we had to confront Maximilian with it all eventually.



First, however, it was time for another powwow.



I was feeling really convinced at the time. Looking back at it... hah!



Jean had similarly strong suspicions.



I wondered why the nurse would involve herself in all that trouble, though.



Helen had a not so bright idea. There was no way Nurse Nacht... no, that couldn't be... or... could it?



Hazel was doubtful, but... all kinds of things happen, most peculiar ones sometimes.



For the moment, we decided to focus on the maintenance man, keeping the nurse in mind.

There was some more time we could waste, and we could always use new taunts and retorts.



Who knew when those could come in handy? As the gang queen, I had to plan ahead.

4 p.m.

The school was closed for the day.



But now that we had a crowbar, we could at least vandalise it.



We spent a whole hour doing just that, but alas, didn't manage to get inside.

5 p.m.

I still felt like finding a boyfriend for Helen.



Varsity Boy didn't suit her character, so maybe Radio Boy would? He was just a tad too black and just a bit too awkward, but he could really help her improve her savvy... And hey, I wasn't choosing a boyfriend for myself, so I didn't really care what he looked like.



Like most basement dwellers, Radio Boy turned out to be perfectly unsophisticated and predictable. He got easily hooked.



Two of my girls had companions, and additional protection, now. Things were going rather well♪



Radio Boy proved... hilarious to keep around.

6 p.m.

Tired of messing about, we went straight to Maximilian.



He was babbling about a mysterious "she" again. Was that Nurse Nacht? Or someone else? The uncertainty was driving me mad.



Everything seemed indeed to point to the hag of a nurse -- she had been the one covering up the accidents, after all!



One more question remained: had Maximilian been doing all that harm on purpose?..



As my detective skills increased, I was steadily becoming more popular. I definitely wasted no time!

7 p.m.



The next step was to pay Nurse Nacht a little courtesy visit.



But unfortunately, we had to wait till next morning for that...

Next time: dim the lights, this party has died.

The plot thickens!



But the interface is on below X-com level...

Really enjoying this narration style.

Make sure you take this one to the end, it's a p. good LP.

I'm interested to see how such simple gameplay can turn into something as ambitious as the game says it will be.

I await reader interaction and C&C.

Eh, this is a blind LP, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to run the reader participation shtick when I've no idea what choices are important and what not, and if there even are any really important choices or significant C&C in the first place. The game does advertise several endings, but that may as well be just a gimmick amounting to, say, "collect four parts of the <put quest item here> from four <areas> to get the best ending" thing. :shrug:

The only thing I can promise is to present you the story as it plays out in my playthrough, whatever the ending I get.

Oh, I missed this LP. Looks like you took my advice and decided to give it a try anyway. Fluttershy would approve.

That's why blind LPs are prone to suckitude.

Played this a long time ago and (as with Academagia) I just lost track of characters and events. Decline of Trash as I can see the goodness in here. Not to mention kudos to the devs for something this off kilter.

Anyway, fun LP. Go wreak havoc with these young lasses!

Yeah, major props to the devs for picking up such a quirky theme and running with it.

Thanks for the LP.
