Sunset High

The story has enough content to keep the player engaged for many hours. Most of the fun going through this game comes from finding out how to get to the next part of the story, but the real excitement comes from the tangible sense of nostalgia that Sunset high provides any child of the 90s. High School drama, the art style, even the story bring me right back to days long gone.

The Artstyle of this game is great the vibes of everything remind me of a mix of Life is Strange, and Disco Elysian. However that being said, It was alot of Reading, ALOT of reading, and to me it felt as if I had to follow a very specific path that felt scripted even tho it said there was choices, I couldnt figure out how to talk to the other students in the room at certain points because the game sort of Guides your character with these character trails, Not a fan of that. I like free roaming and this was very ON- RAIL and reading. The music is cool but I believe every character you talk to has diffrent music and one is VERY VERY loud. I think for some people this game can be great, But this is just NOT my type of game apparently. Give it a shot if u like reading and can figure it out.

Sunset high immerses you in its creative and mysteries world from the word go. I was fascinated as my actions began to affect those around me and I felt the weight of my decisions. The warm and unique art style mixed with beautiful dreamy tunes will have you entranced in the games rich story and engaging characters. Would Highly recommend for any fans of puzzle or story-driven games.

Sunset High challenges its players to carefully consider their choices and dialogue responses. I've really enjoyed navigating solving a mystery while reliving the different social dynamics of high school life. The rewind mechanic is really cool, and I learn something new every time I change which decisions I ultimately make. 10/10 would recommend. Big shout out to the development team!

Existential time-loop dream core vibes. The characters have [i]depth[/i]. The story? Though-provoking and dark. The music? banger after banger. And the art? lovely. I enjoyed getting sucked into this weird little world in my search for K. This game made me question my life choices at 2am andddd broke down the double slit-experiment in a way that I actually enjoyed. I also liked that I learned some random facts through my conversations with my classmates :3 You should play it so you can experience what I experienced and so we can talk about it.

Fun and silly concept!

《日落高中》是一款互动解密游戏，游戏中玩家需要在不断的时间循环里，找到同伴失踪的原因。 游戏采用的是像素画风，细节刻画的很不错，特别是一些镜头扭曲、噪点等，能让人感受到精神上的冲击。 目前只有全屏模式，无法调节分辨率。支持简中，主要内容翻译的没什么问题，但是也存在很多未汉化的地方，比如操作说明、一些对话里的人格数值要求等还是英文。整体来说不影响游玩，但是比较影响观感。 设定在一所美国的高中，玩家扮演的主角前一天刚和暗恋对象发了消息，结果第二天暗恋对象就失踪了，然后玩家会发现自己被困在了这一天里，不断重复这一天的课程。玩家需要通过对话、事件来摸索线索，找到暗恋对象失踪背后隐藏的秘密。 游戏本身玩法设计是比较巧妙的，通过倒带，即时间回溯功能，玩家能够不断试探不同的对话选项，引导剧情走向不同的分支，同时积累不同的人格点数，来解锁更多的内容，从而一步步走进真相，而且情节设计的环环相扣，衔接非常紧密。但是不得不说，游戏的指引是相当差的，大部分玩家上手估计都不知道要干什么——如果没仔细看按键操作的话，可能都不知道游戏里还有倒带这个功能。 故事发生在美国的高中，众所周知美国高中可谓是人才济济，各种人物都有，帮派、霸凌、小团体、亚文化盛行，所以里面很多行为在我们看来都是非常荒诞，但是在美国高中可能司空见惯的。而游戏里关于“双缝干涉”，实际上也是一个特别经典的物理现象，甚至已经上升到了哲学的角度，如果有了解的玩家应该会很容易明白，在游戏里则被赋予了别样的意味。至于游戏里人格画面的三幅画，充满了梵高式的意境，与游戏整体氛围融合的还是很好的。 另外，如果想快速体验剧情也可以去查看官方攻略（在8月份的游戏新闻中可找到），不过是全英文的。 不管什么说，尽管游戏有很多不足，但是游戏的整体设定还是可圈可点的，当玩家抽丝剥茧按照设定好的步骤找到线索的时候，成就感也是相当足的。期待后续能够完善汉化，修复一些交互bug，为玩家带来更好的体验。 [quote] 加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GHYX]干货游戏[/url]&关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35106417/]我的鉴赏家[/url]，不定期为大家带来诚意满满的游戏体验干货。 [/quote]

Buggy, sometimes freezes, the soundtrack is getting boring and annoying quickly and characters’ theme soundtracks do not blend in with the rest of the game. Had to refund The idea is good, the execution not really. Also other positive reviews from 29 July give off ChatGPT vibes… sketchy

What starts as a straightforward mystery about a missing person at Sunset High gradually becomes something much more personal and emotionally resonant. The high school setting perfectly captures that specific anxiety of being a teenager where every choice feels monumentally important. The devs clearly understand how it feels to navigate friendships, romantic tension, and social dynamics when you're still figuring out who you are. The dialogue rings true, full of those awkward pauses and half-said things that define teenage communication. The mystery itself is compelling, but what kept me playing was how the story explores the relationships between characters. There's a authenticity to how these students interact—the way they support each other, hurt each other, and struggle to communicate what they really mean. It reminded me of my own high school experience in ways that were sometimes uncomfortable but always genuine. The time-manipulation element adds interesting layers to the storytelling, though I won't spoil how. Let's just say it enhances the themes rather than feeling like a gimmick. The simple 2D art style serves the story well, keeping focus on the characters and their emotional journeys. This is a coming-of-age story disguised as a mystery game, and it succeeds at both. If you've ever wondered "what if I'd said something different in that moment," this game will resonate with you.

I got my review key for Sunset High the same week that I finally bought Blue Prince, and let me start my review by saying that Sunset High held its own for three or four days against the puzzling masterpiece. I don’t know if I can offer higher praise than that, even if this comprehensively listed Sunset High’s many positive qualities. Sunset High by Turnip Games is the love child of Disco Elysium, Brick, and Groundhog Day, a poetic pixelated time loop mystery. You play as a social introvert whose crush vanishes overnight, leaving you to navigate high school politics, quantum physics classwork, and the onset of mysterious time powers in order to find out their whereabouts. It’s a daunting task. The game unfolds uniquely, constrained to a handful of scenes while the sordid story of whodunit, how, and why unfolds in well-written and labyrinthine conversation menus recursively explored in the time loop. The colorful cast of characters have charming pixel art portraits that vary as events effect moods and attitudes amongst the characters. A rewind/fast forward mechanic can render much of the challenge of the game a simple matter of patience to meticulous planners, but more casual gamers or neophytes to time travel gameplay might find themselves occasionally trapped in unsatisfactory loops and patterns, unsure of how to progress. The game does reward meticulous detective work, but it doesn't hold your hand - practice and repetition are your curse, guide, and weapon here. The game does have some small glitches that speak to it being a small team and a passion project, but I didn't find them to be game-breaking - in fact, my favorite bug, when I accidentally triggered every single end-of-class presentation at once, felt almost like part of the game, timelines unexpectedly colliding and unraveling under my investigative assault. As I'd stay up past the wee hours of the morning pursuing quantum leads, it felt like the early days of the internet, finding uncut gems on Flash portals and behind forum links. Not everything was perfect, but we didn’t need it to be either - especially if it was saying something interesting. As I dive steely-eyed into the New Game+ mode that follows a late-game reset, I can solidly recommend Sunset High for patient, thoughtful gamers that want a game they can sink their teeth into; Disco Elysium completionists looking for a quantum Portal-like mechanic to speed-run their conversation simulator; and people who really wish that Brick and Victoria Mars had a little bit more science fiction.
