Evaluation

Evil School launched on August 14, 2026. On August 20, 2026 — just one week after launch — CineGame Interactive published a formal dissolution announcement confirming the development team has been disbanded. The post is detailed and unambiguous: the studio cited the FMV game market being too small to sustain the project financially, and the team has already dispersed. The game itself remains available for purchase, and the developer confirmed they have renewed the servers for 20 years, so the game will continue to function indefinitely. Any ongoing in-game events will also continue and rewards will be distributed. However, the creative team responsible for making new content no longer exists. This directly supersedes the earlier suggestion (from a June 2026 Q&A) that DLC revealing character backstories "may" be released later. That possibility was contingent on the team continuing to operate — which it no longer does. The dissolution announcement makes clear that no further content will be created. Evil School is now a complete, finished product with no further development planned.

About this game

The first revenge-themed game focusing on the theme of anti-bullying in schools, its storyline spans 10 years. With nearly 500 minutes of gameplay, over 100 branching storylines, and 42 endings, we've painted a cruel and dark picture of school life. In the game, every choice can lead you to drastically different truths and consequences—reversals upon reversals. You think you're close to the truth, but you may be stepping deeper into a more complex situation.

After a year of preparation, we've dedicated ourselves to presenting you with our sincere vision:

Creating a Realistic School

  • We invested in the setup and production of dozens of school scenes, creating over 100GB of art assets. Filming and preparation took over two months, recreating grand scenes such as the "Auditorium," "School Gate," "School History Museum," and "Stadium" on a real university campus.

Top-Tier Cast

  • The creative team traveled to Hengdian, Beijing, and Guangzhou for casting over six months. The 14 lead actors include veteran actors like Zhang Xinhua and Min Zheng, as well as new faces from short dramas and television series. We consistently insist on using only popular actors, investing the entire budget in their talent. Furthermore, this production features over 50 featured extras, and the teachers and students throughout the campus are all carefully arranged, with a total of over 1000 performers (including extras).

Led by theatrical release creators, a production team of over 100 people

  • The production team consists of over 100 people, with theatrical-level creative team, three-camera shooting, and over 20TB of footage. We invested 3-7 times more than the industry average, solely to create a realistic campus and recreate an exceptionally compelling story.

A young life tragically ends on campus, the truth buried for eight years. Now, you return holding a blood-stained list—the time for judgment has come. Face the past and carry out your verdict.

Story Background

2018, at a high School. Girl Gu Panyu was imprisoned in an iron cage in the equipment room for three days by bullies, but on Monday, she "safely" walked out of the school gate under surveillance and vanished without a trace.

Eight years later, when everyone had long forgotten the disappearance, Gu Panqing, the younger sister, identified her perpetrators—Li Manting and Zhang Yao—through a notebook filled with the blood and tears of bullying. She initially wanted to find her sister, but little did she know that the truth she uncovered would be far more cruel than death itself.

Game Features

  • You are not a bystander, but the mastermind

    Track down clues, eavesdrop on secrets, and plot murder. You are no longer a bystander in the story, but the mastermind behind revenge. Personally plan flawless trials, slay the evils in your carefully woven trap, and bring death to them.

  • Tense suspense atmosphere, immersive story experience

    A realistic school environment, unique streetscapes, and meticulously designed props bring you a cinematic visual immersion.

  • A progressively unfolding plot, the exhilarating feeling of revenge

    A chapter-based hunting mechanism allows you to systematically eliminate the criminals on your list. From identifying your target to carrying out the trial, experience the exhilarating thrill of revenge.

  • Multiple Branching Paths & Multiple Endings

    A complex web of branching storylines leads to multiple destinies. Every small choice you make will trigger a butterfly effect, completely rewriting the course of the story. When the obsession with revenge clashes fiercely with the bonds of emotion within you, what will you choose?

Streaming or making videos on TikTok, YouTube, etc. is permitted and welcome.

The scope: Chapter 1 (Full); Chapter 2-6 (under 2 mins for each).
