The Queen of Blackwood High

I gave it an hour and a half. I just can't finish it. It is [i]so[/i] boring. [u]All the Complaints[/u] [list][*] The writing is mediocre, at best. So much description about things that are uninteresting. [*] The CGs are lackluster. [*] Annoying "best friend" character (Molly). [*] Shallow romance scenes that elicit no romantic feelings from me whatsoever. [*] Poor understanding of bullies. The whole story revolves around Kendra, a bully, and how the protagonist wants to "help" her. "Spoiler": The protagonist is attracted to her despite her awful personality. Let me give you a reality check: Most bullies are not misunderstood kids with awful home lives. Most bullies are bratty, little sadists who delight in the suffering of others. The person who wrote this story has no f*cking idea what [i]real[/i] bullying is. [i]Real[/i] bullies ruin your life and f*ck up your mental health well into adulthood with the cruel sh*t they do, not this petty, mildly inconvenient sh*t that Kendra doe...

Pretty short but sweet VN. As the reader, you have a choice of continuing the game as a friend or lover. Either choice has a separate story line so I'd recommend playing through a second time choosing the alternate route to get more out of the game. Each route also has a good and bad ending. You don't really get many dialog options and they don't really branch into newer scenes, just different reactions leading towards the same linear path. Either way, the story is still very cute and worth playing.

[b] Story [/b] - I'd say the first half is really good and provides a sweet story. Unfortunately the 2nd half dragged on for too long and practically forces you down one path with little difference in dialogue choices. Also sad to see that there was no romance option for Molly even though [spoiler] she clearly seems to have a crush on Brooke[/spoiler]. [b] Soundtrack [/b] - The music is alright overall. One track is great (specifically the one titled mus_sad.ogg), but the first track (mus_casual.ogg) is over-used and gets very repetitive. [b] Art [/b] - Art style is really good. Not much else to say. With all this in mind, it's difficult to say whether I'd recommend it or not. It's fairly cheap though, so you can just try it and make up your own mind.

The Queen of Blackwood High is a Yuri Visual Novel, with just one datebale Girl, however that Girl has a very good Development over the course of the Story and the Relationship develops very nicely and also realisticly. I always like the Stories RhinoGearz comes up with and the Writing just fits my personal Taste. This time I didnt like the Sprites that much, however I dont really think that that hinders you from enjoying the Story. The only thing that I didnt like that much is how abruptly the Game ends, since it leaves a few things in the open that I would have liked to see how they would turn out. Overall though I can wholeheartedly recommend this, since the Story and Writing both are great and once you get past the ugly Side of your Love Interest you get a really great Yuri Romance. Score: 8.4/10 Check out my Currator Page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34401214/ for more Reviews :)

Really enjoyable game with a great story one of the best Visual Novels i have read in a long time 10/10

A visual novel about confronting a bully at school and getting to the root of the issue. I find this whole first half rather unrealistic as bullies wouldn't just crumple that fast, if at all. But I'm fairly cynical, so whatever. The second half is rather engrossing to read (more so the romantic route than the friendship route). The visuals are by far the thing that sticks out the most for me. Kendra looks decent enough, but the other 3 teeter on the line of "OK" and "something's off". I can't tell if it's proportions or just their faces in general. At least the CGs usually look better. Overall, starts well enough and finishes strong (so long as you get the good endings; the bad endings are a punch to the gut).

Honestly - this is a very adorable story .... the characters - Mostly are lovable .. Kendra is a girl with tough skin but truly is a softy - and the connection is so clear ... and i as a lesbian myself found that i could connect to the characters a lot .... but i was disappointed with the ending ... Honestly i assume i got the bed ending ... with Kendra breaking up and leaving me .... But honestly i don't see any significate choices that could really change the ending ..... i tried to google the other ending but i found none ... and having to go through it from the being is a total grind which i totally will ignore ...... its a sweet game .. which i will remember but at the same time i just feel completely disappointed ... mostly on how powerless they leave you.... mostly when your own aunty is a worldwide famous journalist .......

[h1]Overview[/h1] [i]The Queen of Blackwood High[/i] is a visual novel set at elite private school focused on a transfer student named Brooke who transferred due to bullying issues, and immediately ends up on the wrong side of the fear-inducing Kendra with a partner in crime named Courtney. Brooke immediately secures an ally in another student named Molly while Brooke makes the most of her situation all the while trying to figure out the motive for Kendra's behavior. [h1]Graphics and Sound[/h1] The graphics are purely original and the characters (and scenes) are very aesthetically pleasing, and with the exception of Molly, come across as very attractive, and may be refreshing to some people who prefer a visual novel that features something other than anime characters. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1715713124 The sounds are limited to basic sound effects that are few and far between, but the background music not only does it's job in setting the mood, but ...

Brooke goes to Blackwood High, where one day she bumps into the Queen Bee of the school. Trying her best to be friendly, will she win over the blonde beauty? There are friendship and romance routes. Decent game.

was really sweet :')
