Paranormal Preparatory School

A fair warning before we start: I am tired and also got up on the wrong side of the bed today, so expect me to be more brutal than usual with my critique. This small thing aside, I am ready to rumble. And are you ready for yet another lengthy review of a new text adventure by Choice of Games? Let us dive right into the daily life of a normal teen in a very unusual school with very…questionable students! [h1]Plot and Writing[/h1] I enjoyed both the story and the way it was presented. The author was able to make reading easy and the choices very understandable while also keeping a mystery until the very end. There are also some nice references to popular media here and there - my inner nerd approves. Overall, the text is very well-written, the jokes are funny and the story flow is mostly smooth…except for some points that I will describe later. I did notice some typos and repeated words (as well as one coding error) on several occasions, but there were very few. Another thing that I find really nice is attention to the lore. While we do not get a deep insight into the vampire-werewolf-others aspects, we still learn enough to get a clear picture of how everything works. There is …

Every single choice is a skill check. Choices do not matter.

I bought it, played it one time and gave it back. The writing was decent, the characters interesting. This could have been good, if it didnt feel so rushed! We go to the school, choices already locking us into what stats we want too use for the entire game and we are punished if we dare to stray from those choices (talking choices, not like fighting choices)... get the order to somehow make peace between vampires and werewolves, meet a zombie and a ghost. We got to talk to the ROs like three times, friendships are not possible cause you will miss a RO scene instead (not sure if it is needed to go with the RO everytime but with the limited times this is possible? I didnt risk it). So we are a this school like one day, portal to Hell ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ opens! The school is not important in any way, no academic choices, no grades, no school in this supernatural school story.

The story is basically Twilight meets Harry Potter, with a dash of Lovecraft magic. It would have potential for a good story, but things move too fast and some things do not make sense. The school is billed as a school for the undead, only werewolves are not the undead nor immortal. The writing seems to imply that there is a town nearby with a pub, yet it is never really mentioned other than the start or in passing. And for a school for humans to be so close and next door, one would of thought that it would of been mentioned at the start and not just dropped in randomly. There are barely any classes beyond the gym class with the volley ball scene. Everything beyond that is just generic teenage drama. For all the stats offered, I get the sense that none of them can possibly get to 100 percent. A few don't even seem to become affected over time. Some hints in the dialogue and choices are too vague to tell which stat it is referring to, such as one question surrounding strength. Is strength the fighting skill, athletics, perhaps intimidation factor? I honestly can not say for sure. The romances happen too fast. My character in the first play through knew the werewolf f…

I don't know how I was bored the entire time I was stopping some sort of apocalypse and dealing with 3 different levels of race issues.
