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.
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.
This was actually amazing, I think out of the games of this style that I've played, this one is the most well written. Its got good art and a captivating story. Idk when the full release is, but I am looking forward to it
Hi, this Visual Novel is good. But it seems Android port still in demo, if possible, when can I wait for Full version, when do you make Full version for Android?
I've seen this game around since like a year ago. And I'm kind of surprised that H-scenes were not planned for the game initially and were only a Kickstarter stretch goal. Cause the character designs and the previews scream "eroge" to me. I thought this must be a VN for dudes who like anime waifus. (I'm a girl) I wasn't gonna download the game until I saw the blood in the trailer. I would say you shouldn't think of this as an H-game cause it isn't intended as one. Even though it kind of looks like it.
Edit: I know I know the description says there is a sinister mystery but it's like a sinister mystery with a harem. It doesn't help that the poor vice principal is cropped out of the main picture (but if they didn't do that it would imply you can date him so I get why they did)
There are still a high amount of romantic parts and some anime-like moments in the story, but the part that I didn't expect is that for the most part the characters' behavior reminds me of my HS classmates everyday behavior, rather than characters that are there for the player to date. Edit: or literary characters in a book
I'm looking forward to the full game, but the constant loading issues in the demo were kind of annoying to deal with, I don't know if it was just my computer, but it was common for the game to fail to load certain parts and get a white screen
Finished my first playthrough, and wow..... just wow. I absolutely love mystery/horror stories, so to see it in the tags got me excited, and I was not disappointed! That ending.... and how some of the characters acted or did... just, I can't say too much without spoiling it, but this was one hell of a sinister ride!
First off, let's go over technical aspects. Loved the artwork, everything is nice to look at and it's really neat how everyone has multiple poses which really helps make the characters feel more lively. The texting system looks really nice too. My biggest complaint, but this is a demo, is when I press Esc I find no way to return to the main menu, so there really wasn't a proper way to exit unless I'm missing something obvious. Also some of the red blinking in that one scene was irritating to the eyes, might recommend an option in the preference to be able to turn off things like that if desired.
Now onto characters...
I really like Lane as a main character. I feel bad for him, his situation is extremely vague but you just know he is suffering hardship... how bad exactly is still unclear, but I am really hoping he catches a break since he seems so stressed. I also like how he has a visible character sprite in the textbox, it's extremely rare to see in bishoujo titles.
So far, I think Holly, Nat, and Ms. Webb are my favorite characters. Holly is adorable and funny and over the top, Nat seems to be caring despite her demeanor and I dunno I just really like her, and Ms. Webb is very nice and has been so helpful to Lane. Don't know what to think about Ros yet, but there's potential for some fun banter there. I don't really like Alice, but I must admit I love a lot of her dialogue, but her as a person is just... ugh I did not feel sorry for her getting slapped lol. Evan, as Cain described, is loyal, a good friend to Lane overall even if he probably has a tendancy to overstep his bounds... like with the key lol. The Principal is.... *shudders*. And Cain, I initially did not like him at all, found him to be such a jerk and overly hostile toward Lane but that ending may be having me hate him a bit less.
The story itself seems there's a lot more to it. It has the feel of a normal story which decides to take a dip into sinister and unsettling, whether it will be in supernatural ways or not is unclear. But there's a lot of unanswered questions and I am curious to see how the story unfolds. There's so much we don't know about a lot of the characters, including the predicament our main character is in! Really looking forward to the full release. It'll be on Itch, right? I'll definitely be saving up ^^
Эта игра очень крутая и, конечно, очень интересная...но мне, наверное, стоит подождать, пока выйдет русская версия...возможно...А так игра неплохая...и рисунок очень хороший))
Lmao me too, I think it will be like by the end of the month? Worst case scenario it will be released on August, in any case at the very least it will be released this year so theres that.
Hey there— forgive the delayed response. Our current release date target is Summer 2023. We've made a ton of progress so far (which we share in our monthly updates on Kickstarter and Patreon), but there's still a long road for us to finish out. We want to ensure Student Union is the large and polished game our little team set out to create. And that takes a lot of time and resources. I really appreciate that you and others in these comments are actively waiting to get a taste of the final work. That genuinely means the world to me. We'll keep working hard in the meantime with the goal of rewarding your patience.
Unfortunately, the full game won't be free. After all, we need to pay our professional artists and team members for the work they pour in!
For the release date target, we can't guarantee it with certainty. But we are working hard towards it, and I definitely appreciate your interest. Thank you.

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.
This was actually amazing, I think out of the games of this style that I've played, this one is the most well written. Its got good art and a captivating story. Idk when the full release is, but I am looking forward to it
Hi, this Visual Novel is good. But it seems Android port still in demo, if possible, when can I wait for Full version, when do you make Full version for Android?
Damn I'm still praying they update this one eventually cause I'm curious about the story!!
Game got abandoned by the devs. Last update 2021?
last news was on April 2nd 2023 on Patreon, can't tell more as i don't have access to the post
it isn't,full game coming out in september 2023 you can see it in steam if you want proof
This comment aged like milk
we got scammed by the devs
It make senses as it's in ohio
this didn't age well
where can i get the full verson
Its still in development
Played it for the art stayed for the story. Enjoyed the demo.
by the gods, how wrong I was of ignoring it thinking it as some porn lol
I mean if it was there would have been a warning lol

That's why PPL say don't judge a book by it's cover.
There are still a high amount of romantic parts and some anime-like moments in the story, but the part that I didn't expect is that for the most part the characters' behavior reminds me of my HS classmates everyday behavior, rather than characters that are there for the player to date. Edit: or literary characters in a book
Wait theres h-scenes? I was just enjoying the story.
I mean in the full game, according to Kickstarter.
huh neat.
NGL I'm still waiting for the next part cause it got me thinking what happens next ?? lol
it ain't ever getting a next part or even getting fully done
Yeah that's the sad part getting abandoned
STUNNING, detailed graphics! Extensive storyline. ;)
when is the full game coming out?
If you play the demo first can you continue on from the same save or do you have to restart?
I am very excited to see what happens next! Very interesting. I hope Evan will (or could be) a possible route, that would be pretty cool.
I'm looking forward to the full game, but the constant loading issues in the demo were kind of annoying to deal with, I don't know if it was just my computer, but it was common for the game to fail to load certain parts and get a white screen
just completed my first playthrough and Im really exited for the full game
Sad android is only demo
NGL you got me with that last part now I'm intrigue what comes next :D
This was good! can't wait to see the full version of it!
The spoilery joke i could make here is
Brair: "ayo the pizza's here!"
*trips*
Lmfao good one man
is there a place where i could find a dev log
Hmm i like it

Ok thanks for the update Todd, I'll be waiting....
I want ro ask a few questions
Is this gonna be free? I really wanna continue the story and it's totally sure that it will be realised in 2023 ?
Unfortunately, the full game won't be free. After all, we need to pay our professional artists and team members for the work they pour in!

Todd
always looking for good games no problem man
Can i ask will this be free at full release cause this is enjoyable if it has a price i'm truly sorry i can't buy it i am broke
Any estimate on how much space the finished game will take up on all platforms?
