    I didn't really know what I was getting myself into when I bought this game on steam sale. It's a board game with RPG elements and mini-games, which already sounds weird enough, but on top of that, it's 1920's themed and you control a gaggle of headstrong high school girls. You'll progress the story, level up your girls' skills, and gain power-ups (in the form of gossip and boyfriends) byI didn't really know what I was getting myself into when I bought this game on steam sale.

You'll progress the story, level up your girls' skills, and gain power-ups (in the form of gossip and boyfriends) by completing mini-games against the NPCs which include simplified poker (fib), decode the sentence (expose secret), figure out the pattern (flirt) and if you've played any Monkey Island titles, the taunt mini-game will be familiar. Gameplay is casual but the story and game board presentation keep it interesting. The variety and depth of each girl you can have in your gang is pretty refreshing. Keep an open mind and this game pays off.… Expand

    I cannot believe how amazing this game is. The mini games are all very simple, but the strength of the characterisation and storytelling is what glues everything together and makes it all worthwhile. If you thought that the best thing about Puzzle Quest was the story, you will like this even more.

Be warned though - advanced proficiency with the English language is a must-have requirement to enjoy this game.… Expand

    Surprisingly addictive and excellently constructed. Worth your time and your money! I got this thanks to a sale on Steam and I very glad I did.

    A no holds barred action packed adrenaline ride. This is the epitome of the modern gaming era, little did those who programmed pong and space invaders so many years ago know what kind of artistic perfection they were laying the path for.

This is the epitome of the modern gaming era, little did those who programmed pong and space invaders so many years ago know what kind of artistic perfection they were laying the path for. This game is like Half-life, Grand Theft Auto and Skyrim rolled into 26 megabytes of glorious action. At first the games gritty in your face nature may present an intensity level well above Dark Souls and can make prolonged play very taxing but for those of you with the balls to prove your metal in this Colosseum you will be well rewarded with treasures and riches the likes of which you have never seen before and will never see after. This game also boasts a storytelling experience only rivalled by the immortal bard William Shakespeare and will take you on a journey that will change you irreparably, however I must warn you, if you are a seasoned gamer this may not be for you as once you have played it, no other game will satisfy you.… Expand

    This game is quite interesting, and definitely unique. I'd classify it as a RPG/adventure game in the style of an old board game where encounters are settled with mini-games. You recruit a plucky gang of rebellious teen girls and work to unravel the town's big conspiracy. You talk to people to learn info and complete story-driven goals, perhaps convincing them with a mini-game. TheThis game is quite interesting, and definitely unique.

You talk to people to learn info and complete story-driven goals, perhaps convincing them with a mini-game. The prohibition-era setting is pretty neat. The mechanics are pretty fun, although the pacing's pretty slow. The flirting game confused me for some time, though.

    The story is quite long. There are many sub-plots that each take some time to complete. For the most part, the story is light-hearted and fun, but it takes a really dark, unexpected turn at the end. There are multiple endings, but getting the better ones is very difficult.

    Adventure fans will probably enjoy it. RPG fans, maybe. It's not for everyone, but not a bad way to spend a few dollars. $10 is probably a little too much, but I'd get it at $5    … Expand

    Maybe not for the hardcore gamer, Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble will really only appeal to niche market, but it is a wonderfully crafted game that rewards those who just want to sit back and be enthralled by a simple yet clever game that is completely unique in many ways.

    For the amount of fun, hilarity, and challenge it provides, I would say it's well worth it. But don't get this game if you're unwilling to do plenty of reading. To play this game, you need a computer with a mouse, and a fairly ranged knowledge of English vocabulary.

    This is a great game for parents of kids in their tweens. The game isn’t overly difficult but not easy enough that anyone can breeze through it. For an independent title, making a game like this must have been quite a challenge. At the same time, I could see a bigger developer picking this up and porting it to the DS as it would work really well on that system.
