School Days HQ

School Days HQ

In the school the three people met. Their relation had been changed in the season, and turned into three love stories.

Makoto has been admiring a girl he has seen on the train. That girl is Kotonoha Katsura, and he even managed to take a photo of her with his cell phone. Due to new seating in his class, he ends up next to Sekai Saionji, a nosy, but sweet and sincere girl. As she snoops for his cell phone while talking to him, she discovers his crush and vows to help him until Kotonoha agrees to go out with him. When Sekai finally gets them together, she realizes her own feelings after finding out that the person Kotonoha liked was, in fact, Makoto. While waiting for her train next to Makoto, who was waiting for Kotonoha, she has him talking about how he can repay her for all of her help. Before leaving for her train, she kisses him and cries when she boards the way home. Kotonoha happily arrives for her date with Makoto shortly after. With all three main characters carrying different expressions on their faces, the story begins.

  1. Lucky Bastards….. I can’t downloaded or put files over 4gb on my external (it’s a FAT32 system) , I gotta download all 50ish rar files. oh well, hopefully won’t take as long as it seems it will

    1. It has happy endings, and even a harem ending, but there are also multiple bad endings, so I’m sure you won’t get bored.

    2. Don’t worry, there are only a few bad endings which involves one of the main characters getting killed 😉
      There are also some good endings 😀

    3. School Days actually has a total of 15 good endings, with only 3 bad endings. The only reason the anime went with a bad ending is because they are much more (in)famous than the good ones, due to their brutality and overall disturbiness.

      Anyway, thanks for the upload, although it will take me like 5 days to download since I’ve reached my download cap already:/

  2. So I’m guessing this doesn’t have english translation, as Sekai project hasn’t finished yet? Or is there? tell me quick, because I don’t want to waste any time downloading a game that has no english translation.

    1. This would be the English release from Jast USA, so it should be fine. Also, as many people tend to need to say repeatedly here, all downloads on this site have been translated to English.

      1. oh awesome thank you! I just thought that this was a special occasion, being probably the greatest game this century, but anyway, DOWNLOADING TIME!!!!

      2. A note, Sekai Project merged with Jast USA for this project, so they’re the same thing, SP just did most of the work pretty much.

        on another note, I’m glad to see the project has been finished. Been on SP’s forums since 2007 when the project started, its beena wild ride.

  3. I have a problem.

    When I installed the JAST USA release of School Days HQ everything worked perfect.
    Sound and all.

    But as soon as I exit the game and restart it, the sound is gone!
    I’ve tried installing the game on two different computers, but still the same result.

    Anyone else with the same problem? Is there a solution?

    1. Someone had this same problem on the forum. Try what they did to fix it:
      “For some reason, I need to delete the config file after I quit playing. Because if I don’t, there’s no sound or music at all the next time I start the game. Doesn’t matter if I actually change the settings or not either, once that config file gets created, there’s no sound the next time I start playing. Not sure what that’s all about…”

  4. So has anyone found a fix for the freezing? Started freezing after I saved the game – now it won’t let me pass that point even when I start a new game.

    1. Try following: Uninstall all your Codecs (K-Lite, CCCP, …) and install another one. Codecs are often the problem for animated eroges to freeze up.

  5. Hey, to those with the freezing issue, it seems to happen only when it runs in full screen, in windows doesn’t appear to have a problem untilnow. Confirmed from some guys in Nihonomaru.
    Sorry for my bad english.
    Thanks for upload this game.

    1. It freezes for me in full screen, windowed, wide, and standard. I can’t seem to get past the part where you’re told you’ll be eating lunch with the two girls. Sometimes it freezes up before then. And it always freezes when I try to load a save.

      1. Another option that seems to word are replace some files in the original folder. The guy that upload the game in Nohonomaru upload those files too, but for now they are all down, sorry. But after that seems to work perfectly. There are also rumors that the freeze comes from troubles of compatibility, and they are working way to pass this in others sites.

    1. ah! what a lovely show that was… with the way they put it back then, I can’t help but wonder if this game will cause more murders. since, well you know games, movies, and music cause people to murder and NOT your own judgement.

  6. Thanks admin. I have put this up on my seedbox, so i will keep it on for a while.

    I was curious if any of the files from the japanese version could be used at all?

    And if so how would that be possible, since the video files make up the bulk of the installation how could they decensor them for this release with just small edit files?

      1. installing game with more than one disc is quite tricky after all,what you must to do is,don’t mount both disc on the same time, only the first one, then when the installer ask for disc two,unmount the disc one and replace it with disc two, and voilla it’s work. the tricks is same when i tried install rewrite and cross channel

      2. I tried with both 1 and 2 discs mounted, but it didn’t work. I just copied all the files from the discs and it seems to work now.

        That is, until I save a game and want to load that one. Then I get bugged with an error again.

        1. I tried with both iso files mounted and it won’t install that way. You have to mount disc 1, start the install, wait until it says insert disc 2, unmount disc 1 and mount disc 2, and then finish the install. Don’t know anything about failed saves yet.

          1. For some reason I can’t decipher, it’s a local problem. This pc simply keeps borking on the install, while my other did it flawlessly. O, well… Guess I’ll play/watch it on my other system then.

    1. Well is HQ… kidding.
      This version has some extra scenes and endings. Other tha that there isn’t too much different.

  7. Had been absent from home for almost two months and when i came i found these…
    Now there is just one thing to say
    I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MAN

    1. True, it’s from the original School Days, but it worked on the Sekai routes for me. Haven’t tried any others atm, because I can’t load my save files anymore -_-

      You have to use a japanese walkthrough, or you wait until end of July, where Kanna (from sekaiproject.net) should release an english walkthrough 🙂

  8. Gosh… This is an excellent release right here.

    Definately the most drama-filled VN I’ve personally ever played. Even when you think things might settle down, it doesn’t. It never ever stops with the drama. If you somehow “resolve” one problem, another pops up the next second. HOWEVER, that’s not a bad thing, because it’s the main course for this game. The drama is its purpose, and it definately has quality drama.

    It has certainly disturbed me so far, but that’s a good thing, no? Just like how a scary game/movie is supposed to scare you, this drama is supposed to worry/disturb you.

    By the way, this is coming from someone who hasn’t played the normal VN or seen the anime, so I never knew what to expect.

  9. Also, as I wrote on the forum, if you don’t get any sound or music after restarting the game, make sure you remove the config file in the installation folder. You’ll need to do this each time you quit the game if you actually have this problem. Once the config file is removed, start the game and the sound should be back. You’ll need to change settings again, but there aren’t many settings to begin with anyway so it’s not a big deal.

    1. Thanks to Zind on the forum for this alternate solution to the config/sound problem that may happen for you:

      “Open config.dat with notepad, delete all the text, save, then set the file as read only. That way it will always be blank. It won’t save your settings but at least you won’t have to delete it everytime you want to play.”

  10. for the guy that have problem and the game freezes in fullscreens, is because this game need framework 3.2 , in the CD1 u have a folder named runtime, press the ejecutable inside this folder and install framework, you will see that is japanesse but dont mind and install it, after it delete de config inside of your game schooldays and play the game now, this work for me…. i hope this work for you all too.
    Regards

    1. While this isn’t exactly your problem, could you try doing the method described with your error as described below. Just switch the error pack in this post to the one you are having trouble with. Would like to see if that works.

      “people are telling me they get stuck on installing the Movie02.gpk and Movie03.gpk. if it happens to you just extract the files from the disc named “packs” itself into the installation folder Overflow\SchoolDaysHQ\packs. its ok to overwrite it. and just copy the packs folder contents from disc 2 into the packs folder.”

      1. Thanks strom. I can’t find the instillation folder in my program lists though. I’m guessing it won’t appear until install is finished but as install isn’t finishing I can’t see it?

        1. Try to manually create the folders in the installation directory. First create the Overflow folder, then inside that one create a SCHOOLDAYS HQ FOLDER, and lastly in that folder create a Packs folder. Then move the packs that you are having trouble with into the Packs folder and try the installation again.
          Hope it works.

  11. Does anybody have any alternative download links? No way in hell am I getting this from a dead torrent or those 50 part rar files on that awful host.

    1. It’s a new torrent rather than a dead one. The download speed has and will improve over time as the number of seeds increases and the number of leechers decrease proportionately.

      The game being soo large doesn’t help speed this process up, so it may still take quite some time to download, but just have some patience.

  12. Just load all the links into jdownloader and it will automatically download and combine the isos together.

  13. its finally finished! this looks so awesome, especially as a visual novel, very unique. btw, i dont know if can take another dose of School Days since watching the anime left a bad memory… but since you guys say there is like 20 endings im “gonna try” to get the ending i actually wanted in the anime, Kotonoha FTW! oh is it me or are there new voices for the characters bcuz they dont sound like the anime versions?

    1. Not sure about the horror part except the bad ends, but there are only 3-4 bad ends. The anime was based off the bad end. There are, I think, around 20 good ends.

  14. Give it a while. So many downloaders and not enough uploaders are causing the speed to be slow for everyone. Hopefully as more people finish they keep uploading for everyone.

    1. Are you getting a problem with all the links, or just specific links? And are you trying to download multiple files at the same time without an account, or do you have an account?

      1. I didn’t have an account and not multi-downloading.
        I’ve downloaded part 1, and after that, failed to download part 2-6 (i’ve put the right captcha and click download file). But after that i got an error message.

        Currently i’m downloading part 7 (in progress) and will try part 2-6 again. Perhaps it’s only my problem :p

  15. Holy crap 13GB unpacked…

    I think I’ll have to play this one off my external HD lol.
    That is of course, assuming I can even play it. I have a horrible horrible sinking feeling that I’m going to have to mount discs, and that’s a pain in the ass to do on a mac.
    Bah I probably won’t be able to play this one :'(

    Thank you anyway admin 🙂

  16. Soooo ummmm, there a walkthrough? I heard that the HQ version doesn’t match up with the walkthrough for the regular one because of the new added stuff and it seems pretty hard to go for the path you want if there’s 21 endings 😛 just saying

    1. The walkthrough provided is a placemarker until the HQ version is made. You can try using the flowchart ingame if you aren’t getting the correct ending.

  17. Thank you very much for the hard work with uploading this so quickly, thank you for this website and keeping it running for us leechers!

  18. Is the anime ending available in the VN? I like demented Higurashi like things and would be very disappointed if that isn’t part of this game :O

    1. I don’t know if that particular ending is in the VN,but don’t worry anyway, even if it isn’t you won’t be disappointed by the bad endings that are there, as they are quite violent and disturbing.

  19. Hi, is there another way to get the torrent ? (I trust this site but not the other random ones i might find looking for it)
    But i can’t seem to download the torrent, it gets me on that adfly page that 9/10 times gets stuck on “loading the page” forever and if it manages to open correctly i end up stuck in the page that only lets me download some download manager crap and i can’t skip the add or anything like it was said in some earlier comment.
    Downloading 50parts is a pain :(…

    1. Just click on the torrent link here. Wait 10 seconds on the adfly page and click “skip ads”. Your torrent file is now downloaded. The speed for this torrent is really picking up, I’m at 2.0 MB/s at the moment and the ETA is less than an hour.

      Or if you continue doing something wrong, just google it. Try setting the results to ‘last 24 hours’. But I’m not sure if the torrent sites you will come across will appear more ‘reliable’ to you.

      1. Thanks but my problem is i don’t get any “skip adds” button anywhere on the page even if i wait 15m =/.
        I guess I’ll just have to download the 50 parts or try my luck with some googled torrent…

  20. Thank you for this release!

    I’ve had a few problems with the install (it kept freezing at ~9000 mbs so I simply copied the files.

    The game works (sound, subtitles, music etc) and I save it. But when I try to load the save, it says: “script version doesn’t match” and it boots me at the start screen.

    What should I do?

  21. if you’re all complaining about the torrent DL speed, you might want to try out zbigz.com it took less than 10 secs to DL the torrent to their servers an direct download it from them all the way. hope that helped

    1. That’s a great idea and I would have used zbigz for this but they have a 8GB limit and this is a 9GB torrent. Maybe it will come in handy for something else, this is my first time hearing about that site.

      1. it’s handy alright. yeah you have a 8GB limit now if you’re a free user. but if you’re premium its unlimited. dont quite know about its max DL speed for premium though cause im only in a 3.6mbps plan and im maxing it at 350~400 KBps but it limits free to only 150KBps

  22. Man I wish there was a non-lesbian happy ending with Kotonaha, because I swear the main character grows a massive vagina in her route…
