what is schlo?

The first schlo visual novel, released on 12.23.2018. A demo version of the game was released on 7.5.2018 titled "a schlo dating simulation". It is the most well-performing game out of the series, despite being of the worst quality, as I was totally new to art and music at the time.

Description of the game from itch.io: Play as Dreygan, a teenage boy who has something quite shocking happen to him and is surrounded by boys who want to date him...?! The game has a bit of a light-hearted feel, but very briefly mentions topics such as abuse, suicide and incest. These themes are unapologetically presented but not condoned. Their assessment and analysis is left up to the individual player.

Commentary

This game is like my "Smells like Teenage Spirit".

Music
  • "Basic 12 Seconds": Just some noises. Despite its title, it is 22 seconds long.
  • "123": A slow song with some high, carnival-like notes mixed in.
  • "Another One": A melancholic song with ominous background sounds.
  • "Black": Just some sounds with a drone sound in the background.
  • "Clean": A kind of all over the place song with high pitches and a claustrophobic feeling.
  • "Cz": Bells and then "dark", sad sounds.
  • "Darui": It is "Clean" but with lower notes. Maybe a little less annoying.
  • "First Encounter": An alarm-like sound with background noises.
  • "Fun": Sad sounds with an annoying laughing sort of sound. And then annoying sounds over that.

  • "Latest": It has, like, underwater and bone-like sounds.
  • "Nnew": Chaotic and high energy song with beeps and some sad sounds.
