It's a free VN that you can finish in ~3 hours and it'll grab you by the heartstrings and [b]THROW YOU AROUND[/b] As far as VNs go it's on par with many paid games: the writing is great and really compelling. I found myself cursing at characters for things they do (or don't), and it takes a lot for me to get so invested in a VN when I'll start doing that. protoViolence was able to fully immerse me in the setting and characters, and it's a result of a game jam! Incredible work by the devs, can't wait for the next entry in the series.
We played this game and its sequel on stream. Very interesting and serious story! Loved the writing, artstyle, and the voice acting sprinkled here and there was good too! Not really much of a "game", more of just movie but with extra steps. But it was an entertaining watch!

its rlly good ;-;
This one is definitely more of a VN than it's predecessor but it is written wonderfully and voice acted very well. All praise I had for malViolence applies here too. The music, story, and style come together beautifully to further flesh out the story of our little future supervillain and Dr. Danger herself. I highly recommend this one as well especially if you enjoy visual novels.
banger
I enjoyed the art style, the wonderful students, and the background music. Did I cry? Yes, mostly definitely yes. First time of this series since i havent played Malviolence...this means I'm gonna ugly cry in that one, i gotta be ready for any heartbreak.
10/10 I love emotional storytelling and making me truly care for the characters
Very touching I loved it
A great prequel for an interesting game. This isn't more of a game but instead a heavy lore dump to fill in some gaps for the first game to come out, malViolence. Very well written yes but not very interactive compared to malViolence. Not for the faint of heart but absolutely worth a read.
This game was incredible! As the prequel to the first game, It really made me fall in love with the character more/ gave a clearer reason why the characters did what they did in MalViolence! It really made me feel anger and sadness on behalf of the characters
