About Demonschool
Demonschool mixes tactical RPG combat with a university‑life simulation on a mysterious island. Players guide Faye and her misfit companions, planning moves in a pause‑and‑play system where actions can be rewound before execution.
The game adds a light‑horror story told through huge avatars, side quests, and a schedule mechanic that lets you level characters, gain new abilities, and deepen relationships over a semester‑long timeline.
01 / THE GUIDE
Tactics System
During the planning phase you arrange unit movements, attacks, and environmental interactions, then execute everything at once. The system lets you rewind any action before execution, allowing precise combo creation.
Combos generate large damage and unique elemental attacks, which can exploit enemy weaknesses. Buffing allies and debuffing foes compounds damage, and damage numbers are shown for clarity.
- Try rewinding a move to add a second action and compare the damage.
- Watch the damage numbers to see which elemental attacks hit hardest.

Story & Setting
The narrative follows a light‑horror theme presented through huge avatars and side quests. It unfolds on a mysterious island that changes from morning to night, day by day, week by week.
Players confront “big weirdos” in between the human and demon worlds, with the university as a hub while uncovering the island’s mysteries.
- Explore the island at different times of day to notice environmental changes.
- Complete side quests to deepen the horror narrative.

Schedule & Skill Growth
Players plan a school schedule for each character, which levels them and grants new abilities. The semester‑long timeline advances as you allocate time across the schedule to develop your characters.
Skill growth is tied directly to the schedule, encouraging strategic allocation of days to maximize character development before major battles.
- Balance academic and combat training to unlock diverse abilities.
- Check the weekly calendar to avoid over‑committing any character.
04 / THE GUIDE
Friendship & Relationships
There are fifteen characters with whom you can build relationships. Relationships can be built with these characters, and who you choose to pursue affects which teammates join you.
Choosing who to pursue determines which teammates join you and whose relationships you enhance, adding a relational layer to the tactical gameplay.
- Focus on a few characters early to see relationship effects quickly.
- Notice how pursuing different relationships changes which teammates join and how their relationships grow.
05 / THE GUIDE
Exploration & Environment
Units interact contextually with the environment: enemies can be struck, objects moved, or characters can dash through terrain. The island reveals its mysteries as time passes, morning, noon, and night, day by day, week by week.
Environmental interaction is integral to combo creation, as moving objects can set up attacks or open shortcuts during the planning phase.
- Test dashing into objects to create unexpected attack angles.
- Observe how the island reveals its mysteries from morning to night.
