Interesting start with some unique flavor, but I thought the introduction was a) too long b) too bloody.
It was difficult to care about these unknown characters for so many pages, and the wounds they sustained were beyond deadly. I'd at least suggest a blurb saying who's who at the very beginning, instead of the cold open.
I like the cold open, but it does feel like the story is dragging a bit by the time you wake up at the hospital. I'm assuming it becomes relevant at some point, similar to finding out the dealer they were meeting was found in a nearby ditch.

This is pretty good. I like the intro a lot, felt like I was watching the first episode of a police drama or something. Keep it up, I'd give you a dollar if you had a way for me to do so. @WhitePhantom

The download took longer than the gameplay, nothing happens. Hopefully the next update will bring some of the good stuff.

Has anybody else gotten the pool side scenes from the OP preview? If so, how? Any info is appreciated.
Sorry about those, they aren't in the game yet, next update will have the first pool scene.

Will fix the name in locker room for the next update :)

From the looks of it there is going to be multiple routes to go in the game.

@WhitePhantom

Both of the names there in the locker room were pretty hard to see.

that was pretty good, discovered two unique paths which could intertwine. good luck on that though, might get complicated in the long run.

That's just the point... in America, most seniors are 18 by at least the latter half of the school year. Also, there are enough available credits left over during the senior year (I graduated with 3 extra credits) that nobody would be held back for failing a gym class - which is just about impossible anyway.
shouldn't have skipped leg day I guess;)

on the technical site, you should investigate why the menu overlay for saving & loading lets the main menu shine through. looks like incorrect resizing (640x480 vs 800x600 or something like that)
