About 恒水中学连环虐杀 / The untold story of hengshui school
The Untold Story of Hengshui School is a detective game which sets on Hengshui high school, a top notch middle high around the country, also called “straight A student camp” in which most of the students have entered great universities after graduation. However, what behind this glamorous legend was a “huge skeleton in the closet”. A student named Shen Jige killed himself by jumping of the building. A “lame” police officer Song Tianqi and two students, Li Musha and He Mina, start an investigation on the case. Unexpectedly, this appeared suicide is just the beginning of a shocking conspiracy…
The theme of this game reflects a social problem in China: the examination-oriented educating system which constantly ignores the individual differences and hobbies, focusing on grades instead of social skills, and has no respect for student privacy.
Students are holding on to a philosophy that score is superior than their own emotions and freedom.
Key Features:
Black humor, realism, and AVG. You’ll have to investigate each incident, search for clues, and talk to all involved people to try and unravel the mystery of each case!
Murders and detective thriller! But not the “cult film” kind of type. Silly humor and mediocre difficulty are suitable for every player.
Collecting Evidence:
Collect evidence by many methods like talking with characters and answering questions. Keep in mind that some characters have special personalities. They are willing to tell you information only after you know their hobbies and experiences.
Series of Counterattack Mode:
An extremely complicated puzzle will trigger the series of counterattack mode on, in which you can notice the subtlest details that are neglected by most people and discover the shocking truth behind the seemingly simple cases.
Test Score System:
HP bar is replaced by a test score system---you answer wrong, your test score drops. Once your test score is below 60, you will fail the test and no longer be able to unlock the ending. Feel the wrath of bad students!
“Stupid” Questions:
Once your test score is below 60 yet you are not willing to restart the whole game, you have the option of answering Principle Cat’s “stupid” questions, which cover many important knowledge points from high school subjects including Chinese, math, history, biology, etc. Some of the questions even can be found in the college entrance exams(Gaokao) in real life, and the answers contain many “Chinese features” as well.

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's engaging mystery-solving mechanics similar to Ace Attorney and Danganronpa, along with its distinctive art style that enables effective visual storytelling and humor. However, the rough English translation (being originally Chinese) is a significant hurdle that requires patience to get past, though those willing to overlook it find a compelling story with clever narrative structure beneath the surface imperfections.
Do you like the Ace Attorney series? This game is similar in style to that. You get to pick apart suspects' statements, find hidden clues, piece together a full story~ This is originally a Chinese game as such, the English translation is kinda wonky. However, it is still manageable in bringing out the story. Just like a raw gem, you need to get into it to see the sparkle. If you can bypass the roughness of the translation, you will find that this game actually surpasses a multitude of other en vns in store. The graphics might not appeal to some but they are actually what caught my attention. It is also due to such graphics style that the game is able to exaggerate itself and achieve crazy humor at times. The story is divided into 4 chapters, case 1 and 2 are fully meaty, case 3 and 4 are linked. Playing the CN ver, I took about 2.5hrs per chapter with chapter 3 being slightly shorter. The story will cause you think a tad at the end but it is still light hearted enough for play. You can actually play it for free here: https://www.66rpg.com/game/1009836 but if you fail to achieve a sufficient score per chapter, one will need to purchase iaps in order to progress.

10年代简中Nostalgia像是豆汁一样有着腌臜的风味,在那个语言还没有指数级暴力化的年代,最粗鄙的文字看起来也是那么纯真,但残渣是不会被过滤的,充斥其中的荤段子有着扑鼻的废宅气息。区别在于,当年几乎没人讨论格调,而今天几乎没人讨论故事,就像这个标题,你既可以把它当作一个名词,一场虐杀;也可以把它当作一个主谓短语,这场虐杀还在连环进行。2 found this helpful
This is a clever mix of elements from the Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, and Zero Escape series with a story revolving around a strict Chinese high school. The English translation is pretty rough, but don't let that distract you from checking it out.2 found this helpful
If there's a snail on a steak you have to toss the steak, no matter how beautiful it is otherwise -- however, snails can also be a delicacy.1 found this helpful
