You like stories, right? Of course you do, or else you wouldn't be here. I have a proposition for you - just hear me out for a second.

 I just transferred to [REDACTED] Academy, a boarding school for the most elite and (occasionally) gifted students across the country. Today, February 12th, 2014, is my first day. Changing schools right in the middle of the year is tough, especially since the entire student council seems to want a piece of me, but that's not what I need your help with.

You see, someone in this school killed my father, and I won't stop searching until I find out who.

ABOUT

Who Killed My Father Academy! is a mystery romance visual novel with heavy meta elements about fake-dating boys to find out who killed our enigmatic protagonist's father. It features:

• A branching narrative with 5 character routes and 1 "True" route
• Two endings per character
• F/M, M/M, and F/F content
• Around 60,000 words (Roughly 4-5 hours playtime)
• Classical music soundtrack using public domain recordings
• Name the protagonist!

CAST

There are 5 main characters of interest in WKMFA, each with their own route. Could any of them be the very culprit our protagonist is searching for...? 

Well, that's what you're playing to find out, isn't it? I mean, you're the one here with the ability to use save states, not her.
