Some of these kids will judge you based on your clothing. It would be nice if there were some sort of cancel button but there is not. This happens when the two options you have are to either dis the girl (will cost you relationship points and confidence) or ask her out (will likely cause your girlfriend to dump you for even more damage). Most of the options are obvious but you will occasionally find yourself in what is known as the “dis or kiss” situation. Talking to the other kids at school is straight up multiple choice. Notice all of the cool kids walking around? It’s up to you to pick a few and talk to them. Here we have the campus grounds outside of the school. If he catches you it’s off to detention and you gain no benefit from being in school that week. Due to the strange way time works in Brooktown you will likely only get to talk to three or four people before morning bell rings and you scurry off to class, avoiding the robotic hall monitor. Sit down, read on and I will fill you in.īefore school starts on Monday you have a short bit of time to socialize and meet your fellow classmates. You are probably wondering where the date fits into this date-sim. Aside from going to classes and clubs you also have the ability to work on your studies on the weekend but I’ll get into that again later. On Friday you get a progress report as shown above. This can be partly rectified by going to an after school club, of which there are four and each is tied to a class. This means that if you go to Art class your originality will improve (based on your grade) but your other scores will suffer. Strangely enough, at Brooktown you only attend (or focus) on one class per week. There are only four classes being taught and each class is tied to a specific in-game attribute.

Like Rage, each one does have an inner core to them that is not always obvious based on their exterior.
Each one fills a particular stereotypical niche. You will also meet up with Biscuit the volleyball player, Meena the super smart (and super hot) foreign exchange student, Elektra the goth girl and numerous others. He is a little bit misguided in that he believes that the student government should be burned down and replaced with bread lines, but weren’t we all a little bit naive in high school? He only gets bad grades because he wants to “fight the man” and turn society around. Once you get to know him you also find out that he writes poetry and is super smart. He is your typical “fight the power” rebel who plays in a band and rides a skateboard. Well, unique might be a stretch as they appear to be the cast of a stereotypical Hollywood teen movie. You can play as either a boy or a girl and you will be interacting with 20 unique individuals.
