What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is the ideal approach for our game, especially given its niche—blending a Visual Novel with interactive elements. Involving players early on allows us to better tailor the experience and refine its unique features. Your feedback and suggestions will play a crucial role in shaping the game as we continue to refine and expand it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As long as we need. We will end the Early Access when we think the current version (and its features) is fun enough for people to play.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Sentou Gakuen is planned to bring a richer and more complete experience compared to the Early Access version. Our goal is to enhance the overall enjoyment and depth of the game through various additions and improvements, such as, but not limited to:

  • Expanded Storyline
  • New Characters and Locations
  • Enhanced Gameplay Mechanics
  • Post-Release Updates

Please check the store page, as well as the news and announcements, for more up-to-date information about the current state of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The project is still very much a work in progress, with features subject to change, addition, or even removal. We kindly ask players to keep this in mind. We're actively building the game and recognize that there's still a long journey ahead, but we believe we have a solid foundation to build upon and improve.

Here is some that are available in the current build:
  • Starter stories (Prologue and encounters)
  • Dozen of zones to explore, each with its own day and night cycle
  • Dozen of mobs to fight and encounter
  • Character Customizations
  • Item Crafting (Done through in Science Room)

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Post release the game will stay Free to Play with optional DLCs.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“During the early access period, updates will be issued in a regular rolling release format, where hotfixes are applied that may introduce bugs, cause progression issues, and similar problems.

We urge everyone to join our Discord/Steam Forums and share their thoughts. Your feedback is crucial as we continue to improve and shape the game.”

About This Game

Do you enjoy Visual Novels? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the other characters you encounter were actual players like yourself? Sentou Gakuen: Revival takes the Visual Novel experience to the unknown level where the traditional Visual Novel experience collides with interactive elements in a chaotic, player-driven, high school setting.

Story

You are a student at a random high school in Japan, where delinquency, chaos, and strange occurrences are everyday events. How will you navigate this wild environment? Will you make allies or enemies? The choice is yours as you carve out your own story in this atypical school setting.

Gameplay

The game is presented in a Visual Novel style, but unlike traditional VNs, the characters you interact with are not just NPCs—they are players with their own unique stories. Once you finish your first day, you're free to forge your own path without predefined storylines.
The world of Sentou Gakuen is dynamic, with a day/night cycle that affects everything from the availability of shops, accessible zones, to the spawning of mobs.

Features

  • Social: Interact with fellow students— they’re also real players just like you! An experience you'd never expect in a traditional Visual Novel.
  • Visual Novel: Enjoy story that plays just like a classic Visual Novel. The story mode provides a single-player narrative experience, giving you the feel of a traditional VN, seamlessly blended with the rest of the gameplay.
  • Unique Zones: Venture beyond the school's walls and explore a variety of unique zones, some of which might have their own discoveries, challenges, and hidden surprises!
  • Interactive Combat System: Enjoy an active, engaging combat system that adds variety to the narrative-heavy gameplay.
  • Character Customization: Personalize your character with various bases and customization options.
  • Crafting & Item System: Craft your own items in Science Room that may boost your attributes or alter your playstyle in unexpected ways.
  • Dynamic World: Experience a day/night system that influences certain areas—some may have different mob spawns or special events depending on the time of day, while others remain unchanged with static encounters.
  • Steam Achievements: Unlock a variety of Steam achievements as you progress through the game and show off your accomplishments!

Planned Features

Here are some of the planned features on our roadmap, listed in no particular order:
  • Faction Wars: Choose between two major factions—Yami (闇) or Hikari (光)—or remain a neutral bystander as their war rages on.
  • Community Events: Work together with other students to improve the state of a zone and reap the rewards.
  • Clubs and Guilds: Join a club or create your own. From academic groups to combat clans, there’s always a place for students with a common purpose.
  • Co-op Challenges: Team up with friends and take on co-op missions like investigating the depth of Yamaki Forest and Suoh Lake.
  • Steam Workshop Integration: Far down the roadmap, players can create their own visual novels within the game using a simple scripting language. You’ll have access to in-game resources (backgrounds, character sprites, music) or can upload your own assets. Once created, stories can be shared with other players.

Will you uphold the peace in Sentou Gakuen or cause more chaos? The story is yours to tell.
