grinding1 negative mentions
  • High production quality with cinematic filming on a real university campus, professional cast performances, and strong acting that enhances immersion.
  • Engaging, dark revenge thriller story that handles heavy themes like bullying and justice with emotional weight and multiple plot twists.
  • Innovative gameplay for an FMV including QTEs, investigation elements, branching narratives with many endings, and replay value with meaningful choices.
  • Most choices result in instant game overs leading to a trial-and-error experience rather than true branching paths, which can frustrate some players.
  • Audio issues including reliance on ADR over on-location recording causing lip-sync problems and dry dialogue; English AI dubbing is strongly disliked.
  • The story’s pacing and logic weaken noticeably in the final chapters, with some plot developments feeling rushed or implausible.

  • story

    67 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    The story is widely praised for its well-written, engaging narrative with compelling themes like bullying, revenge, and trust, enhanced by strong acting and cinematic production values. Players appreciate the multiple twists, branching paths, and atmospheric tension that keep them invested, although some note that many choices lead to instant game overs, somewhat limiting true narrative freedom. Overall, it offers a dark, intriguing thriller experience with solid replay value for fans of story-driven games.

    • “Rather than presenting a passive cinematic story with occasional choices, the game attempts to make the player responsible for decisions that can substantially redirect the narrative, making its disturbing subject matter feel more personal and consequential.”
    • “What initially resembles a direct revenge story becomes increasingly complicated as new evidence, hidden relationships, conflicting motives, and previously concealed events challenge the player's understanding of who deserves blame.”
    • “Evil School really pulls you into its story; the school setting, mystery surrounding the disappearance, and the theme of bullying make the experience feel much darker and more serious than expected. I especially enjoyed the choices and branching storylines—you constantly wonder if you're making the right decision, and the twists kept me interested in finding out what was really happening. The FMV presentation works well and gives the game a more cinematic feeling.”
    • “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.”
    • “I did have some issues though with the majority of choices not really affecting story, most of them ended up leading to a game over but it's fine because the game does let you skip cutscenes between choices you've already seen.”

  • gameplay

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The gameplay primarily revolves around watching full-motion video scenes, making limited dialogue choices, and performing quick time events that build tension and influence outcomes. While lacking gamepad support and mechanical complexity, the game excels in delivering a cinematic, decision-driven experience with meaningful consequences, especially appealing to fans of FMV mysteries and thrillers.

    • “The game does a fantastic job of building tension through QTEs (button mashing) and breath-holding mechanics to hide from enemies.”
    • “Tons of gameplay innovation that I wish more FMV games would use in the future.”
    • “Gameplay adds enough to make your decisions feel meaningful.”
    • “Gameplay mostly involves watching video scenes and occasionally making a choice to influence the story, or successfully passing a QTE to avoid danger.”
    • “As for the gameplay, the biggest downsides are the complete lack of gamepad support and the very limited dialogue choices.”
    • “Really long well acted FMV with a lot of gameplay and bad endings.”

  • music

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    55% positive mentions, 18% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    • “The soundtrack really helps build the mood; I love it.”
    • “Soundtrack is solid, so are the sound fx and everything that made this game so pleasant to play and watch and uncover.”
    • “First off the cast (solid cast) the acting, directing, sound fx, editing, visual fx, music, including the menu music (fluid & smooth) the vibe fit the setting.”

    • “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.”

  • atmosphere

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    71% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

  • optimization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game's FMV format delivers high-quality performances and cinematic visuals, enhancing its storytelling. However, optimization issues remain due to the lack of official compatibility ratings, leading to potential concerns with controller behavior, video playback, and text readability on portable devices.

    • “Performance quality is therefore especially important, and the combination of close conversations, confrontations, investigations, and dramatic revelations generally fits the heightened tone of the story.”
    • “Developed and published by Cinegame Interactive, it approaches these subjects through an FMV format in which filmed performances are combined with branching decisions and investigative elements.”
    • “Its FMV and choice-driven structure is theoretically well suited to portable play, but the absence of an official compatibility rating means controller behavior, video playback, text readability, performance, and other deck-specific considerations cannot be confidently guaranteed.”
