YOO, alright i'll drop my honest reaction, the game is so cool and contains both horror and romance genre, perhaps i'll add psychological because of the prank, Im eager to see the full release. Man the ending left me hanging hell naw.
P.S. I might do a showcasing video for this so yeah, im waiting for the full release on mobile
apparently , there was an update on their patreon a few days ago, but I can't read it. Does anyone know what this says behind the paywall about the games development? It looks a lot like a "heh, sorry guys, I've dropped the game" without full context.
I've noticed this game hasn't been updated or any news for a while which is unfortunate cause I really enjoyed it. Did a Full Gameplay to the demo. Can't wait for the FULL RELEASE!
Man, the song and dance one has to do to get any modicum of information on this game makes you think it's almost worth the effort. A dead Patreon, a barren Twitter and a comically elusive Discord server makes it practically impossible for people who are not "in the know" to keep track of this project, and it's a shame because, despite having played the demo over a year ago, the story still remains fresh in my mind. At the very least update this page with a link to the Discord, unless the underground, spoken in hushed whispers reputation is what the dev team is striving for.
SEE BELOW No updates, development or otherwise, since April 2023.
Author/creator/developer is unreachable on all platforms and no contact information is provided anywhere.
All Discord links are either invalid or expired.
The project is abandoned. Other than the hundreds of dollars that for some reason stupid people are still funneling into them on a Patreon that also hasn't been updated since early 2023.
NOTE: at some point last day or so the dev posted an update which is great news! I think some ppl assumed I was trying to get this thing cancelled by posting about this and that's just not true. Since the discord links have historically always been dead, or set to expire after a few days, I'm gonnaput a screenshot of the announcement here for proof. I'm updating this post and striking out the orginal because of this. Hopefully this is a good sign of more to come and more frequent updates to let us know about how it's going.
For now this is awesome news. It's not dead and may even see an update soon. And at least for now, user "Teashrock" did provide a Discord invite link in a response below -- https://discord.com/invite/M33kVpna
If you want to get updates from them in the future I would advize joining ASAP, I have no idea how long those invite codes actually last or if another one would be provided in the future.
Thank you!

Hey, everyone. It's been some time since our last formal update, and I wanted to let you all know that Student Union's development remains ongoing, with renewed vigor. As we work to solidify an updated timeline, we may also be announcing a new member of the development team in coming months.
Thanks to everyone showing patience and kindness. I look forward to sharing more soon.""

I love how you responded to tell us we're wrong, then proceed to share a discord link with no updates either, and literally an entire community full of people who are wondering what's going on too.
Thanks for sharing the invite link at least, but the game is dead and will continue to be dead unless and until the author brings it back to life. (Which he can't do without giving a fucking update.)
As far as Im aware, R18+ content will be available as an optional download/addon for the game. As in, people who want it to be part of the game, can have it.
That could of course change, follow along with its development or ask in the Discord if you're curious further https://discord.com/invite/M33kVpna
The game is dead people, if they were still working on it they it wouldn't have hurt them to make an announcement, anyways I won't be spending my money anymore on this.
"I won't be spending my money anymore on this" The game is free tho. Did you make a donation to the developer ? If you did , then make sure you never repeat the mistake again (This applies to anybody else who reads this). It's best to not invest on games that weren't released since once the developer got the money they can just stop working on the game or something can happen resulting in the game never being released which means you wasted your money.
They made a post April 2nd 2023 on patreon, and going through their Twitter they made a post in 2022 (I think) which had a that had a lewd cover on it so...
Just the demo alone made this one of my top visual novels. I always struggle to find a visual novel where the protagonist is a guy, it has good story, and there isn't lgbtq.
More Romance Focused: My Therapy (early acc) - Steam Sepia Tears - Steam + Other Find Love or Die (personally not exactly my thing but it is good also was free?) - Steam/itch.io
More Plot focused: Junipers Knot - Steam Kill or Love - Steam Ambre - Steam The Letter (not free but usually cheap) - Steam + other
Other Freeware (that were archived/haven't properly played): Homeward - official website May Sky - freeware archive True Remembrance - freeware archive link Narcissu 1 & 2 - Steam Lucid 9 - Steam
Last one I'll recommend is FNIA: Golden Time. Once you look at it you'll realise why I put it last. For a harem VN it's not half bad but it is more of a 'f it why not?'.
No clue , but I'd recommend not getting your hopes up. This game, like many other demo games I know , has been under work for quite a while. I learnt from the other games that it's better to not care and just wait , since the developer might not have the money , the time or the energy to complete the game anytime soon.
Just wish nothing happened to the developer. I know some games which were never released , even with the "To be announced", because either the developer had financial problems (one case I know was due to covid ), health problems or even died. If by the end of next month you don't see it released I'm pretty sure you won't see it this year. I'm still waiting for an update to a game that was announced in 2018 and up to this day there's no sign from the developer.

VISUAL NOVEL VILLAGE!!!! DROP ANOTHER STUDENT UNION VN UPDATE. AND MY LIFE. IS YOURS
Visual Novel Village has abandoned us, now there is no hope.
When the full game drops, do you know if it will be free to download off itch.io?
Does this game support Chinese language?
i don't think so
Hope this game gets an update soon on release date cause i fell in love with it so fast
no spoilers please
Played this on random games. Looks interesting
If this game drops, and that's a big if, I'll paint the ceiling with my grey matter.
it is dropping, just don't know when.
Fuck.
We're gonna be waiting so long GTA 6 will come out first
Yeah bro, I think it ain't coming out.
Omg I'm hooked from the demo. Is the full game available for purchase?
This game has the potential to be the best Vn game,this game also has the potential to be a good,story rich and story focused AVN game
what is the Name for the OTS ?
The story was so good. It's unfortunate that this will most likely end up as another scam😔
Did it have sex scene, for science purpose
Nahh
Wdym another scam,can you explain please
the story was quite good. the ending was a nice turining point
though i have been seing the comments and wondering if we are gonna get the full thing soon..
apparently , there was an update on their patreon a few days ago, but I can't read it. Does anyone know what this says behind the paywall about the games development? It looks a lot like a "heh, sorry guys, I've dropped the game" without full context.
Edit: removed typo
it's an update with sample CGs and sprite.
I'm surprised it still has donors tbh.
I've waited.. and waited.. it's been 4yrs now.. it's taking too damn long.. but I'll wait another 4yrs if I have to..
Incredible demo, especially the ending. Would love to see a continuation and expansion of different routes
dawn last uptade is from 2021, I am sad now
Why does everyone act like the game is dead? They just said development is ongoing a few months ago. Why would it be dead now?
Revive the game🙏
tho its really dead, i think it has a really good story! i really wish it did end up coming back around :((
Underrestimated deadlines or scale, dead silence in every social media aside discord., this is becoming of a yet another kickstarter scam
I'm starting to think Cain is the main villain and I feel pretty bad for both Lane & Principal Decker.
I've noticed this game hasn't been updated or any news for a while which is unfortunate cause I really enjoyed it. Did a Full Gameplay to the demo. Can't wait for the FULL RELEASE!

Completely agree with you dude, those butthole cultists are everywhere!
Do you have any recommendations? I'm looking for games of this type, but almost all of them are lgbtq.
I recommend playing koko. Here's the link, since it's hard to search it up and find it. https:/l/eroraen.itch.io/koko
Hi would you be willing to resend the link, i cant find it!

Fate/Stay Night is a good VN
Is This game is the dead?
I’m thinking yes, even the Patreon hadn’t been updated since early 2023 (no idea what it said then).
oh ok thanks
No news on kickstarter, what happened?
No clue , but I'd recommend not getting your hopes up. This game, like many other demo games I know , has been under work for quite a while. I learnt from the other games that it's better to not care and just wait , since the developer might not have the money , the time or the energy to complete the game anytime soon.
Yeah...I understand but it's so stressful having to wait that much that Kickstarter or indiegogo is a nono for me now...
so no updates ?? all i see is the September 2023 release date has been changed to a "TBA". which in Steam terms means not to expect it soon.
Just wish nothing happened to the developer. I know some games which were never released , even with the "To be announced", because either the developer had financial problems (one case I know was due to covid ), health problems or even died. If by the end of next month you don't see it released I'm pretty sure you won't see it this year. I'm still waiting for an update to a game that was announced in 2018 and up to this day there's no sign from the developer.
does anyone know what day this is fully coming out
Game was pretty nice. I should check the descriptions since I DID NOT know it was dark.
Lesson learned.
