Highschool Rosewood [v0.358] [Arpibald]

August 7, 2024F95

This game is a Visual Novel Simulator created with Ren’Py engine.
There is no specific story line, so you can start the game however you want.
The situation is simple, you’re a boy who just moved into a dormitory from your city.
I want the players to play the game in their own style. Like in GTA.
The players choices will be balanced in karmapoints, that can affect outcomes on characters.

The game is still in development, I’m currently working on new updates / fixes and release them weekly which can be downloaded with our Launcher.
The Launcher includes an AOPS, which able to check the local content, and only download the files which are changed.
That means if an update released, only a few Megabytes will download, not the entire game again-and-again. 🙂
