About School For The Friendless
When Harold (or whatever you decide to name him) is sent to a college for people that have no friends, he has no idea what to expect. Not long after arriving, he ends up finding out that the school pairs its students together and when they're together, they're assigned the same room. However, these students don't have to be the same gender and he is high chance of sharing his room with a girl. At this school, he meets three girls that won't leave him alone.
The first one we have is Anima, who likes to cause trouble for others. She's always making things hard on her teachers and even her friends have trouble getting her to behave herself. Next is the weird and mysterious, Scout, who happens to be the most innocent and childlike of the three. She's an obsession with the supernatural and an endless appetite. Finally, there's Vivian, the annoying pervert who doesn't really care who is around when she's being inappropriate. Despite her behavior, she does have a bit of a mature side, which usually surprises others.
All students must take a survey and then their actions will be observed throughout the day. The choices you make will determine who your partner is. Harold may end up with one of the three girls or with someone else entirely. Since there are three girls, there are three main routes, each with three endings. Whether Harold remains as just friends with these girls or something more depends on the choices he makes. Each of the routes can be completed within an hour. With these three girls, Harold will got caught up in all kinds of messes, learning more about them as time goes by. School For The Friendless is a comedic visual novel with multiple endings depending on how you choose to develop Harold's relationships with the girls.

Hella bland and boring, plus you get bad ending right off the bat unless you look up the correct answers or somehow guess them.
School For The Friendless is not objectively awful - but is, relatively. It's free. It works. Technically sound with skipping, scrolling forward & back, multiple choices, plentiful save slots, a cast of characters, & multiple endings. But none of it is particularly good. Unless you railroad options for predefined paths exactly, you get the same couple endings. Jokes are overused & get stale quickly. Plot exposition is formulaic & pacing almost non-existent: breakfast, event, lunch, event, bedtime - to the point where complete strangers can get lovey-dovey over the course of a couple weeks. Unfortunately, everything this title offers has been done better elsewhere.

"School For The Friendless" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This garbage e-book is a complete cringefest, it's a CYOA "dating sim", the author writes himself in as the main character and of course the subject is the authors three imaginary anime girlfriends. Who, creepily, are all high school students. Pretty sure this e-book got the author onto a few watchlists. This was slapped together with the godawful Ren'Py visual novel construction kit... enabling terrible authors to publish books as if they were games when otherwise we might have been spared the pollution. So, just like no professional writing took place here, no professional software development took place, either. Visual novels…
