story15 positive mentions
graphics3 negative mentions
  • Exceptional FMV production quality with cinematic visuals and strong acting that immerses players in the story.
  • Engaging and mature revenge thriller narrative centered on themes of bullying, mystery, and moral complexity, with many branching storylines and multiple endings offering high replay value.
  • Rich cultural and language support including Arabic and Vietnamese, enhancing accessibility and player connection to the story.
  • Somewhat short and occasionally rushed pacing, especially in later chapters, leading to an anticlimactic finale.
  • Limited true choice impact, with many decisions resulting in instant deaths or forced 'correct' paths, reducing player agency and creativity.
  • Technical issues such as bugs on some platforms, awkward English AI dubbing, and immersion-breaking ADR audio instead of on-location recording.

  • story

    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    52% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The story in this game is praised for its dark, compelling atmosphere enriched by themes of bullying, mystery, and revenge, with multiple plot twists and cinematic FMV presentation enhancing immersion. While the numerous branching paths and endings encourage replayability, many choices lead quickly to bad endings, which some find limits narrative depth and player agency. Overall, the story captivates players with its tense, noir-inspired approach, though minor issues like occasional narrative dead ends and setting inconsistencies were noted.

    • “The storytelling is perfectly paced without any tedious filler, and the multiple engaging and satisfying endings make every moment worth playing.”
    • “Evil School really pulls you into its story: the school setting, mystery surrounding the disappearance, and the theme of bullying make the whole experience feel much darker and more serious than expected. I especially enjoyed the choices and branching storylines—you constantly wonder whether you're making the right decision, and the twists kept me interested in finding out what was really happening. The FMV presentation also works well and gives the game a cinematic feeling.”
    • “The story does a great job of creating a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere, with the mystery, bullying, and darker themes keeping you invested in what is going to happen next.”
    • “You cannot really decide wrong because then the story is pretty much over directly.”
    • “For me FMVs have to be like Bandersnatch and not like 'we have 40 endings, but 38 are just end of story or instant death experiences, before the story really ends' ... be more creative please.”
    • “This is a Chinese game but for some reason they decided to put the story into an overseas Chinese school in Japan. All good so far, thought to myself, so they can use Japanese school uniforms, but then it gets weird... everyone besides 4 characters are Chinese and 3 of them are background characters, the city is renamed into a Chinese name, the news are in Chinese and even the entire police force is Chinese.”

    The game delivers a powerful emotional experience through well-developed characters and impactful storytelling, particularly highlighting themes of sacrifice, revenge, and emotional conflict. Its bold approach elevates the FMV genre by exploring deep, meaningful topics with genuine emotional resonance rather than relying on clichés.

    • “Having 'Lu Xiuwei' as a supportive companion added great emotional depth—her character development and her willingness to sacrifice her life to rectify her mistake was genuinely moving.”
    • “I wasn't sure what to think about it until I realized why something so heavy was put into this FMV game... it sets up such an amazing, emotional rollercoaster of an ending.”
    • “What could have been a by-the-numbers mystery instead becomes a razor-sharp exploration of power, bullying, and the cost of speaking out — themes that land with genuine emotional weight rather than cheap melodrama.”
