Developer's description
School of the Abnormal is an explicit 18+ visual novel about power, submission, and human desire. Shinshu is a secretive academy with its own Rank System. Outside wealth and social status mean nothing here. Your rank determines your privileges, living conditions, and how other students treat you. Money, violence, sex, humiliation, and psychological pressure have become ordinary tools for climbing the hierarchy. Those at the top control the rules and the people beneath them, while those at the bottom are forced to adapt. You enter this closed society as an outsider. You can submit to powerful women and gradually surrender control over your life or climb the hierarchy, discover the weaknesses of those around you, and eventually make them submit to you. The current version contains the first two parts of the prologue and introduces the academy, its students, and the Rank System. All depicted characters are 18 years of age or older. AI disclosure : SOTA is an AI-assisted project. Narrative and game logic are created by V&Mai Studio. AI tools are used to assist with graphics and parts of the code.
