The New Game menu settings aren't random by default because there are several options that could make people's first experience worse. Made the requirements for a student having a 'Bisexual Awakening' less strict. Fixed how the heart effects work because flirty actions weren't resetting the timer on how long they last. Kissing and giving people the middle finger gets you more Trouble than before. The school pathways have a different texture. The Introduction text was rewritten, the text size is bigger, the outlines are thicker, and the background is yellow. Some dialogue now have parts that are different sizes to represent some parts being said louder or quieter. There are 675+ dialogue changes this update! That includes fixed typos, new lines, and replaced lines. Characters now do an evil grin when they shove someone into a trashbin. When your character is being flirty, there is a 'dreamy bubbles' effect. Girls who like the occult might have this design. A new thighhigh option called 'Kawaii Ghosts' was added. This means you're way more likely to see NPCs kiss each other. Before they didn't know how to close the distance. NPCs now know how to go in for the kiss. There isn't a proceed button when you go to school though. Home Actions now have a button to proceed so people don't have to rush to read the text for short Home Actions. It's really dark and oppressive if your character is really depressed. Now the game has vignetting (colour at the edges of the screen) depending on your character's stats and emotions. They were added to give the player some goals/challenges while also informing them of some of things they can do. The game has Achievements! There are 16 of them and they can be found in the Pause Screen. Lighting and shading are different as well.

To make more sense for the player character to live alone.-The game is now rendered very differently giving the game a more unique look.

To have the game be more relatable to the target audience.

Having all the students be adults allows for more intimate relationship stuff to be explored.

To have the game be less about schoolwork.

To allow for characters to wear whatever they want as many Japanese post-secondary schools don't have uniforms.

To eliminate the confusion and 'creepiness' of the students' being potentially younger than 18 since a Japanese high-school typically has Grades 10-12.Highschool is a very common setting for anything anime-themed. The students were remodeled, aged up, no longer wore uniforms, the school became a daigaku (meaning a post-secondary school), and many other changes.Ī summarization of the officially-stated reasons for the 'daigaku change' are: V0.28 was when the game became known as Daigaku Gurashi. Prior to V0.28, the school was a high-school hence Shiro's Highschool Crisis Impact! and Koukou Gurashi having high-school in their titles. Koukou Gurashi was the title of the game from V0.16 to V0.27.
