Prep-school horrors is a minimalist bullet hell RPG set in a prep-school before the end of times. You play as a class of students who are being prepared to face the approaching outer gods who wish to end the world.

Fight progressively harder battles and solve abstract riddles to get strong enough to kill the end. Will you be the one who saves the world, or will you end up as food for the outer gods?

congrats, you got the best ending :D

its beautiful :)

This game did something to my brain. I love it. 

the engineering teacher is such a brave and stupid bastard.

yeah, he's modelled after my own engineering teacher, and I guess I am now modelled after him

what is the requirement for the true ending

you need to

  •  make sure the engineering teacher survives
  • Ge the math equation in the right order
  • never be level 5 or above in the physics room

nvm

what is the pass/fail conditions for engineering?

engineering teacher dies :p

now I'm wondering exactly what the conditions for each different ending are

there are 3 tests: physics, math, engineering. You can either fail or succeed each test, which brings 8 possibilities

yeah I was assuming it was either gonna be that or it would just be based on how many tests you passed plus one other condition 

how do i defeat the hall moniter

you'll need to collect weapons in the other levels (north, south, or west of the starting area)

Enjoyed our time in the random, weird, cosmic, otherworldly prep school even with most of our time being spent on fighting the hall monitor it was fun

(+2)

high school students grow wings and fight eldritch horrors, the game.

yes, it is that game!

i got the true ending and never gained exp

this was odd like nothing I've ever seen

thanks :) I like making odd games!

great game! there are some problems, such as the fact that the engineering teacher or whatever the hell he is the weakest teacher to exist. he even died due to nothing and i have no idea why.

i also dont know if the true ending forces the player to play the entire game under level 5 due to the fact that the physics teacher snaps at level 5

overall its a good

(+1)

to get the true ending you need to not be level 5 or above while in the physics room. So ideally you can start by that room and never go back!


Also yeah engineering teachers are weak (I am one)

Really great game design! Reminds me a little bit of Undertale.

The music is astinishing as well!

You should make it available for download.

Hey there, thanks for playing :)

The downloadable version is actually available and free!


Should I add in a permadeath mode?

Great game! I'm loving it! I did run into a situation where it hung up on me though. It was the first time that one of the students killed the monster (Feedback Looper to be specific) before the battle actually started. They were the only one to get xp, and ended with 77/163840 xp. It got stuck on the xp screen, and won't progress at all.I'm having enough fun with it, though, that I have no problem restarting and going through it again!

(+1)

ah yes I've run into this issue before. I need to add a fix that makes the system robust enough to not crash if the battle ends before it starts X)

Hi! I love this game, and I was wondering if there is a place where I can access the music to it, because I really like it. 


On a separate note, I love the gameplay mechanics. The feeling of assembling a huge party is really great, and I love the story too.

ok can I have the soundtrack though

hey :) most of the music can be found on my soundcloud:
