Update

04/01/20: Sutoraiku High

Last year, I released a demo version of my magnum opus, Sutoraiku High, a visual novel about drama, friendships, prejudice, bullying, total societal upheaval, and high school romance, with an anticipated release date of April 2020. I am happy to announce that today is April 2020, and accordingly, you can now finally play the full story of Sutoraiku High, complete with full-color character portraits, four in-game days of content, even more dramatic twists, eight endings, and obnoxiously complicated branching.

The game is currently in open beta, as I anticipate expanding on it later with a couple of additional endings, more character expressions, and possibly music, additional art, etc. However, to honor the announced release date, I have chosen to make this initial full-story release in this form.

(Please note that this full version of the story contains a bit more violence and some darker themes than were seen in the demo. Let's call it a PG-13.)

Play more! There are lots of other routes! If you wanted more Shadowdart, it's right there!

I wasn't feeling very creative this year, so I wrote another April Fools' story on FanFiction. I guess it's sort of a sequel to last year's story, but quite a bit weirder. I wrote it late, right before I went to bed, and looking back on it I'm not entirely sure what was going through my head…oh well. If anyone wants to see the weirdness, here's the URL.

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would! I got the ending where Nightmare gets beaten up, but the next day we team up with Shadowdart to kick out the Leader. Then Shadowdart ran off…and I was really enjoying his arc, too…oh, well.
And is it just me, or is anyone else shipping Nightmare and Sickle?

Liking the new color images. I think I took the "wrong" route given not much really happened.
