School Days - Survive & thrive daily

The most popular student in class is now celebrating over 10 MILLION downloads!

The institution has transitioned from a prison to a high school, yet the quest for survival and success continues! Experience every moment of each day in real-time—from waking up in the morning to navigating a busy schedule of classes—while exploring a vibrant city filled with interactive elements. Gaining insights from various subjects prepares you to tackle real questions across 10 different disciplines, aiding your pursuit of the grades necessary for graduation. However, amidst the more than 100 students roaming the corridors, an equally crucial popularity contest determines whether your school days are packed with enjoyment or apprehension.

While the game is primarily free to play, you have the option to upgrade to a "Private" education, which eliminates advertisements and allows you to personalize the school environment—beginning with creating your own character and saving modifications across all 10 classes, along with the instructors and townsfolk. Those who opt for private schooling enjoy a more uninterrupted experience that persists until they choose to end it.

BASIC CONTROLS:

In-game tutorials provide further guidance, but here are the basic controls:

A = Attack (use alone to aim low, with a direction for aiming high)

G = Grapple

R = Run

P = Pick-Up / Drop (with direction for throwing)

T = Taunt (interact with props)

OTHER CONTROLS

- Combine ATTACK and RUN to execute a powerful strike.

- Press any button with any direction (or none) while grappling to perform different moves (similar to Wrestling Revolution).

- Use RUN and PICK-UP together to ignite a small object, which can then be used to set a larger one ablaze.

- Tap the clock or health bar to pause the game for additional options.

- Tap on speech bubbles to advance conversations quickly.

PERFORMANCE

- If you notice your device struggles with displaying many characters, you might want to lower the "Population" setting.

- Opting for "Speed Up Frame Rate" requires a capable device, so consider sticking to "Speed Up Clock."

- Visit the "Display" settings to reduce other visual features as needed.

Tips and Tricks

1. Watch your sanity!

The small yellow meter below your health meter is your sanity gauge. Stat decreases, fights, and general negative events that happen to your character will reduce your sanity meter. On the flip side, positive events like stat increases restore the meter. Be careful not to let it drop – if it reaches absolute zero, you will lose control of your character! Your character might have a nervous breakdown in public, or even turn on anyone around them, going into a blind rage!

2. Health is just as important!

Your health meter goes down naturally over time and as you take damage from natural causes or fights. To restore it, try eating some food from the cafeteria. You can also get food from stores, but take note that you need to pay for them otherwise shop keepers might get mad! Yes, it’s a little weird just picking up food off the ground and munching away at it, but you gotta do what it takes to survive!

3. Get some sleep!

But above all, the best way to restore both health and sanity is to sleep – preferably on a bed! Resting in a chair works too, but not as well as sleeping. At the end of a school day, assuming you didn’t cause any trouble to lower your health and sanity, you should have a little bit left. Sleep in your bed at home to prepare for the next school day!

4. Avoid fights!

This school is crazy chaotic and both the students and teachers behave erratically. If you happen to see a fight break out, try your best to avoid the chaos. You might end up accidentally damaging someone, causing you to go to the principal’s office. The principal almost always sides with the faculty, so you’ll have to spend needless detention time at school. If you insist on fighting back though, try using an object lying around as a weapon.

5. Friends?

Approaching someone and tapping the T button will make your character engage in a conversation with any person nearby. This can help your character make friends! Making friends is important as they are the ONLY way to learn how to play the game properly. They’ll even come to your side in fights! Speaking of which, another way to make friends is to defend them! If you witness a random fight happen, fighting one of the people involved but not the other will make them side with you.

6. Attend class!

Don’t skip, you deliquent! Attending class is the best way to improve your grades, naturally. Remember that you don’t have to be there before the class starts, you just need to show up at least before thirty minutes into the class, otherwise you will be considered late.

7. Don’t leave yourself defenseless!

If you ever find yourself beaten up and on the floor for whatever reason, rapidly move the digital pad and tap the attack button to get up faster. If you don’t press anything your character will remain vulnurable on the floor, open to more attacks. Also, if you get grappled by someone, tapping the attack button will sometimes cause your character to counter attack!
