I'm sorry but I have a huge sence you're just a troll yourself who doesn't even hide it and you just try to ragebait me. Don't bother me ever again.

I recently downloaded the game and enjoyed all of it! It reminded me of weirdcore aesthetic, which was popular circa 2019, and old educational games I had in my childhood. Horror elements were unexpected but it brings some spice in the pot *badum-tss* :D
However, in my opinion, the game should be much longer, 3 levels were too short for me, 5 would be just fine.

I see that you yourself try to portray like I don't know anything besides Clock Tower. You don't know me but you say not very polite stuff about my personality. I just gave Clock Tower as an example of "stalker horror" genre, what the Classmates is.
Dude, I played hundreds of videogames, horror games, too, like System Shock, Alan Wake etc. I also played dozens of indie games, even bad ones like Suicide of Rachel Foster. I know how people act under pressure, cause me myself was in abusive relationship for years. I just noticed mistakes the developer had done during writing plot and how it can be improved in the future. The game itself is okay, it just has some mistakes, I didn't say having mistakes is bad. It wasn't even addressed personally to you. The developer can just ignore me and don't care about my advice or take it with a grain of salt, I don't care. Why do you make a problem from this? I cannot critisize the developer only because they're beginner? If you think that Classmates is 100% perfect, then good for you. I'm glad that you agreed with me a bit but the rest of your reply is just frustrating. This is itch.io, it's not Twitter, people exist here not to make conflicts and make wrong assumptions about each other. Everybody can express their opinions and critisizm about games, no matter is the comment positive or negative. Just look at ManlyBadassHero chanel, he also played Classmates and also said his opinion about the game, which wasn't fully positive, would you go to him and say he doesn't know anything besides Clock Tower, too?

Why would very young daughter kill her own mother? Anya died when Ian was a child and Ares was a baby. And Ares doesn't even have any resemblance of Anya in her appearance. Ian has the same eyes as Anya but Ares has nothing to relate to Anya, it means, Anya isn't Ares' mother. Ares can be 100% the child of the family or she's adopted, maybe, it's actually her secret. Or maybe, her secret is that she's not sick, she's just sociophobic, and Ian knows it, so he lies to Ares' school his sister is sick.

I want to give my honest critique about Classmates.
This game, in general, I think, is okay. It's visible the developer put the hard work, f.e., on character's designs and enviroment. But in details, it lacks a lot of things, my main issue is the plot.
Why didn't girls, knowing their friend will go to the house of creepy and suspicious classmate, completely alone, in deep evening, go with her or didn't even send someone to guard her? It looks like June has very ignorant and toxic friends who don't care about her but pretend they do.
Why the main conflict about Ian's family hadn't resolved in the game? The only thing this conflict does as "Checkov's gun" is giving you the item to another ending. That's it, that's all, nothing else! For example, in old stalker horror like Clock Tower, conflict about Barrows family DOES affect the player and DOES affect the plot. You really need to know everything about Barrows family cause it hugely affects your views as the player and provides the way to good ending. It's literally the most important part of Clock Tower. But in Classmates, the information about Ian's family is unnecessary, it gives no profit for the player but receiving the item to two of the endings (one of them actually sucks, why should June go insane after killing her kidnapper?). And you can receive a good ending without even continuing the plot, without even taking the important item, without giving a damn about the life of the antagonist (which isn't the case at all in Clock Tower). If the developer wanted to make information about Ian and his family important, then they should have given much more purpose to it in the game.
Anyway, this game is still okay and I wish the developer to continue making games, but fixing mistakes of past game.

Have the same problem, bro. I downloaded latest C++ version and the game doesn't recognize the programm! Now I don't know how to play the game :((
