After School Murder Club!!
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Welcome to the Murder Club!!
In this short comedy visual novel, you'll take on the role of an unpopular transfer student who begins a new life at a vaguely Japanese high school. They quickly get drafted into the school's most secret after-school club... but could it be that the seemingly innocent members of the Murder Club are hiding a dark secret?!
Featuring:
• A script totalling 63,000 words, taking around 3-4 hours to complete!
• Mildly amusing dialogue loaded with references to anime, video games (mostly Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid), and outdated memes! Because why write funny jokes when you can just copy other people's, right?
• Multiple choices that affect the story, such as your gender, your hobbies, and whether or not you're naked in 50% of the scenes!
• A deadly minigame that is similar to, but legally distinct from, Wheel of Fortune!
• Three different endings, one of which is totally super secret and hard-to-find!
• A bonus beach episode full of frolics, fan service, and... another thing that starts with F!

hi.
can you give hints to get the 3rd ending?
You need to get the good ending first, and then replay the game and use the key that you find to unlock a previously inaccessible door. Hope that helps!
hey!.

I don't even remember how I found this but this has to be one of the strangest VNs I ever played xD I expected a game influenced/inspired by Danganronpa or so due to the title, I also didn't miss out on the DDCL reference in the screenshots. So I went in with expectations of what will await me. But what I ended up getting can't really described or compared to anything else. A very funny and unique experience! The story doesn't take itself too seriously but it still goes in depth regarding some of the characters and there must have been put so much work into this. A chaotic yet very enjoyable VN game that I ended up playing in one go because I wanted to figure out the mystery ^^ Very well done!
Thank-you for your review! I'm really glad you enjoyed my game ^^
Very good vn. Amazing dev too. I played this on steam and just amazing.
the game is good but i had to refresh my pc and reinstall everything and it says this now im a little confused
Hi there; I'm not sure how to fix this problem, but I would advise downloading the game on Steam instead. It's exactly the same as the itch.io version and it's still free, but it's easier to get working and it has Achievements too!
ASMC is a short yet fun game with lots of different branches to the story, and maaany easter eggs! It has lots of replay value, an interesting plot line and lovable characters (Elly-nyan is definitely my favorite).
You can see that this game was made with lots of love and passion, and I FOR SURE like that! I will be exploring the other endings and scenes sometime soon.
This VN has been a labor of love for the developer and it clearly shows in the final product. There's some fantastic humor on display here as well as a genuinely touching story of friendship. It's heartwarming without being too cheesy and has references galore while still being easy to understand even for those less familiar with them. I've had a blast finding every last bit of content (and trust me, there is a lot of it). In all, it's a beautifully made VN from a truly talented creator. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot.
Fun story, and easy to play through multiple times to see different endings! I'm curious about the super secret one, though...
Do you like your visual novels with an intriguing story, characters you’ll get attached to, and a sprinkle of self awareness? Then you’ll like After School Murder Club!!
The writing in this game is immaculate, and you will find yourself quickly sucked into the strange and wonderful world of Minmo High School. There are many choices to choose that will have lasting impacts on the entirety of the game. There are many paths to go down, many secrets to learn, many lives to live. The game creator really thought of everything!
Not to mention, the humour in this game is certain to hit your funny bone, and bring a smile to your face no matter how cold and dead your heart is.
You’ll also find yourself enjoying the ambient music as you play, and the well timed sound effects really add to the immersion.
Can you figure out the mystery of what’s really happening here? Can you make it out with your life? And, most importantly… Can you make friends who you can definitely 100% trust to the ends of the earth?
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll probably do both at the same time. So many fun references, well worth keeping an eye out for them all.
Mystery! Minigames! Murder?... What more could you ask for? Rodents of Unusual Size?...
11/10. Well worth your time.
(PS - Steve-kun is the best <3)
What a fantastic experience! When I saw that this was a comedy game, I didn’t expect to feel so seriously about it. It’s only a comedy in comparison to our world, but in the context of the game, it feels natural, and like a real world. Highly recommend grabbing the game. It’s free and totally worth your time. It gets straight to the point, and doesn’t waste your time with too much dialogue that u just end up having to skip, unlike some other visual novels. *cough* Doki Doki Literature Club *cough* Sorry but it’s true, as much as that game is also fire.
Yes I could write a quippy remark but the amount of heart that clearly went into this game deserves a bit more from me
Manny's writing is genuinely amazing, ASMC is funny, sweet, and absolutely heart wrenching at times, all while offering so many diverging paths that after one complete playthrough it feels like I've barely scratched the surface.
Great work everyone involved, hope you're all proud of this, and stay safe. I hear there are goatmen roaming the halls...
The best visual novel ive ever played.
I have been following this games development for a while now. This game is incredible!
Tell your mother, father and children about this game cause its incredible!
