About Eldritch Highschool
Eldritch Highschool is a Ren'Py visual novel by Drakenn that uses 3DCG artwork and a horror-tinged, paranormal school setting. You play John Corby, whose name can be changed, working for an unnamed Organization that keeps supernatural events secret. After a teacher at the Härdöpfeler private high school is murdered, John takes the position to uncover the hidden anomaly before it kills again. The story asks you to explore the campus, meet its residents, learn about individual students, and decide whom to trust or avoid. Multiple routes branch from those choices, and some can lead to adult encounters.
The ongoing build is v0.1.1c, dated September 27, 2023. It is presented as the first major update rather than a simple patch, adding a second week of content and improving menus, among other changes. The game runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, is written in English, and contains no censorship. Players who have already tried v0.1 are advised to start a new save.
Developer's description
In a world where supernatural events are concealed from the general population and paranormal entities are contained by the unnamed Organization, John Corby (or whatever name you want him to have) is tasked with finding an entity hidden within the city-state of Avalon. After the murder of one of the teachers of the Härdöpfeler private high school, John replaces him to find the identity of the anomaly before it can take another life. With a dark past still looming over your shoulders, you’ll get to explore the school and its many inhabitants, learn about your students one by one and choose who to side with and who to be wary of. Many paths will be available to you and perhaps, just maybe, some of them will lead to lewd encounters...
