The second part of a remake of the first schlo visual novel, released on 04.19.2023. It has new art and
a new soundtrack, though the story and dialogue is nearly unchanged.
Description of the game from itch.io: Play as Drey Gan, a teenage boy who falls into a depressive state after a shocking event that establishes his relationship with a group of suspicious guys that want something from him.
In this episode, Drey learns more about why he is considered "special" and what a schlo is. There is a recap from the previous episode in the beginning!
The game attempts to have a bit of a light-hearted feel, while dealing with dark topics. There are brief mentions of abuse, suicide, self-harm, eating disorders and incest. These themes are unapologetically presented but not condoned. Their assessment and analysis is left up to the individual player.

Commentary
"what is schlo?" was remade to restart up the storyline of events relating to Drey Gan and the Organization, after several unrelated projects were released. I thought it would be good to start up with the beginning of the events again, as I find the old artwork to be very messy and embarrassing and wanted to make it better. I don't have much I want to say about this one at this time, but it's probably the best quality out of any of my projects so far. (Copy and pasted from the schlo episode 1 page.)
