The Video Game

  • A winter quest had your school snowed-in, and some students started a snowball fight to pass the time. It escalated into Serious Business very quickly, culminating in the death of your beloved snowman (potentially named Edward Snowman).
  • In Country Club Caper, Julian distracts Max by engaging in increasingly weird sports. It ends with a golf cart race. Your Gamer wishes there were banana peels and blue shells scattered around the golf course, to give you an edge. Julian is surprisingly incensed by this.
    Julian: Why would they have that, [Gamer]?! Why would they have that?!
  • At the beginning of Koh’s intro quests, Autumn advises you to put together a welcome committee consisting of two Student Govs. Upon meeting Koh, they’re spooked off and power-walk away.
  • In the second half of Koh’s quests, you attempt to disturb her ex-boyfriend, Razor, by having your rock band play an impromptu concert outside his building. Payton has to make lyrics up on the spot:
    Payton: Razor stinks! Razor is the worst! Razor, leave us alone! I really wish we’d rehearsed!
    • And this attempt fails, because your band sounds too good.
  • The first stage of Surprise Date Night has your character's significant other bringing them to a fancy steakhouse. Your options are:
    I love steak!
    I don't really like steak.
  • During the Water War Quest, you have the option to try and recruit Wes and the other slackers at the pool. Wes responds thusly.
    Wes: I appreciate you playing to my ego. But the Slackers are a peaceful, noble people...
    Slacker: Weeesss! Someone spilled corn chips in the pool!
    Wes: ...well, maybe not "noble", but peaceful anyway. I've sworn not to take a side.
  • During the Murder Mystery quest, the school puts on a murder mystery party, where Autumn is to "marry" Julian. When Nishan tells you this, one of the responses is "Called it!"
  • During the quest where you and Payton accompany Mia to France for her cousin Bridget's fashion show, it turns out that Mia, who's only used to flying first-class, has some weird ideas about what it must be like to travel in coach.
    Mia: Do you have to hunt for your food?
  • During the "Pumpkin Spice Everything" quest, after being thwarted once too often in her quest to find the perfect pumpkin spice latte, Payton starts hallucinating that you and Autumn are pumpkins.
    • Made even funnier by the method the main character uses to snap Payton out of it:
    MC: Black Friday just got cancelled!
  • During Autumn's personal help-quest, she reveals that she has to submit a photography portfolio showcasing different kinds of love. Cue this exchange:
    Autumn: The first is object-love, or the love you have for something you own. I’m thinking an overexposed close-up of someone holding something they adore.
    MC: So what, you need to take a photo of Julian hugging a football?
    Autumn: The world isn’t ready for the intense love between Julian and football...
  • During the "Black Friday" quest, Koh goes shopping with the other main characters, but claims she's really only there to watch the shoppers behave like mindless sheep in purchasing whatever they can get...then she trails off on seeing a special deep-fryer that's been 80% discounted. Cue Koh fighting to get her hands on the deep-fryer.
    Koh: Hey! Gimme that! I saw it first!
    • And then there's Koh's celebration when she does get the deep-fryer.
    Koh: When we get back on campus I'm gonna deep-fry everything!
    MC: Um, yay?
    Koh: (dancing) Yay!

The Visual Novel

  • When Michael reveals his scheme to steal Hearst's spirit stick, MC can reveal they quite enjoy stealing things, much to the displeasure and shock of some of the other kids.
    MC: Awesome! I love stealing!
    Maria: What!?
    MC: It's not that bad. A pen or two here, a book or two there... You know how these things go.
    Caleb: No, I don't.
    Emma: I thought you were better than this.
    Aiden: Were you the one who stole my sheet music?
