What Makes School Days HD Stand Out
Get a better view of the school sim with this dedicated high-resolution version for tablets!
The prison from Hard Time has closed down and re-opened as a school, but the challenge to survive and thrive remains the same. Live every hour of every day in real-time – from getting out of bed in the morning to attending a timetable full of classes, as you explore a city filled with interactive props. Picking up knowledge from each class helps you answer real questions in 10 different subjects, as you work towards the grades you need to graduate. But with over 100 fellow students walking the halls, an equally important popularity contest decides whether your days are filled with fun or fear.
Although the game is mostly free to play, you can upgrade to a "Private" education to remove ads and make the school your own – starting with a student of your own creation and saving your changes to all 10 classes as well as the teachers and civilians. Private students also benefit from a more continuous experience that never ends until you want it to.
BASIC CONTROLS:
In-game tutorials explain in more depth, but the basic controls are as follows:
A = Attack (on its own to kick, with a direction to punch)
G = Grapple / Throw
R = Run
P = Pick-Up / Drop (with a direction to prioritize objects, without to prioritize furniture)
T = Taunt (interact with props)
OTHER CONTROLS
- Press ATTACK and RUN together to launch a powerful attack.
- Press any button with any direction (or none) in a grapple to trigger different moves.
- Press RUN and PICK-UP together to set fire to a small object (which can then be used to set fire to a large object).
- Touch the clock or health meter to pause the game for more options.
- Tap the speech bubbles to speed through conversations.
PERFORMANCE
- If you find your device struggles to display lots of characters, considering keeping the "Population" option low.
- "Speed Up Frame Rate" sleeping will require good performance, so consider leaving it on "Speed Up Clock".
- Head to the "Display" options to tone down other features.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive had this game for 8-9 years, and Ive loved it forever. We have the paid version, and it makes the game 100x better. We know you probably wont ever update this again because 3D, the better version is out. But we just have some opinions and complaints. But rather than them this is still 5 stars. 1. We wish there were actual breaks. Maybe it could be a setting? Just having a week off and maybe people asking to do something or hang out would be great. 2. Odd one but 3somes dont work. Just wanted to test it out and they get mad at you when you even kiss the other one. Theres no point. 3. Teachers, we mostly paid for the extra stuff to be a teacher, but all we do is sit in class in silence, only good part is not getting in trouble easily and the money. 4. Fines. Why is it when we break a desk or steal an apple we have to pay $1000? We would agree if we like killed someones but its annoying when we lose this much. 5. Just other things to do outside of school, nobody really invites you anywhere besides just asking you to meet somewhere and thats it, maybe you could be asked to go to the bar by a phone call and actually do something there like be asked start a fight or flirt with someone. 6. Maybe have a birthday in the game that you can choose? And get an announcement and a bunch of popularity, or an enemy saying they dont care. You could get money from your parents. 7. Sick days/days off. If we miss one day of school our grades go down like 100x. If someone is injured they should be able to miss a day. Obviously these wont happen but maybe for 3D these give some ideas, unfortunately we have not played it enough to review it. Youre a legend.
So, we downloaded this back for memories and it brought back so much nostalgia!the only problem we had with the game is the amount of dialogue, but we recommend this and other games from this company.
Can you guys please add 11th grade and 12th grade we dont wanna be stuck with just the 10th grade 10th grade is the highest but in real life its 11th grade and 12th grade so it will be awesome if you add it on the next update Im pretty sure this will update so if you guys can add the 11th grade and 12th grade then it would be awesome.
We love it it takea all our free time and the time whin you play run so fast.
Im not asking much yes can we get jobs be a teacher you know.
So we love this game and then been really not bored like its really entertaining but we also want to add something so like you wake up the next day at your house and its your birthday in later teachers and students say happy birthday to you and also when you get knocked out we think there should be a cuts in the word nurses and doctors put you in the ambulance and take you to the hospital and all your friends and your boyfriend and your family are there to see youAnd one last thing we want car so like when we go home and your mom says Ill be waiting in the car so we could take you to school and she takes you to school so like we dont have to walk over there because we were late for history class thats all we want to say thats all we want thank you.
Im a teacher but when we hit a teacher it says Im in 10th grade student and we get sent to the principal office.
We bought private edition because we thought it was good but turns out you just do nothing as a teacher or civilian so please refund our purchase thank you.
We were in Private School right? And then and double clicked it like what the.
The game is fine, but there is a bug where you cant edit characters legs, can you fix this bug when you have time.
This is a very good game and a lot of your games are good but there is one problem in which when someone talks to you the camera zooms in on them and you cannot control your character and you have to wait for them to finish the convo and cant skip it. Thats a bummer cuz whenever we fight the guy says something or someone else says something the other guy knocks us out because we cant control. Please make it into a speech bubble or maybe you can make it so that you can disable it in settings or skip the dialogue. Thanks.
Can you please have a choice of what you say like talk to people when you press the T button can you put like a choic dof what you say pls.
Add a update where you could sell stuff at the stores.
There is a bug where sometimes if we knock someone down then they teleport on the ceiling and we cant hit them. Also add guns.
This game is so addicting to us, everything is great but Id like if you add slots for the backpack where we can chose what to take out and stuff for the house where can have separate rooms? And their should be other places where we should go like a cafe, parties, maybe the movies? And their should be scooters, cars and taxis! And of course when going into different places could you remove the map! Thats all! Im giving this a 3 star rating.
This game is pretty funny and reminds us of the game hard time. And not only that but our favorite game is bully so we could definitely recognize this. Especially once we saw a character named James Hopkins had to choose him.
Ive been playing School Days off and on since its release, and we really enjoy it. Its a great game to screw around with and kill time. There are a few things we would love to see added to the game, though. Itd be nice to have more class options. Additionally, Id enjoy harder questions and the ability to answer a question right off the bat, rather than having to wait for the test. Perhaps you could use the board to write the answer and get credit. Having an actual weekend would be sweet, as opposed to going through Friday and then right back to Monday. Adds some more realism. Add a job feature, where your character can have a specific job and earn money. The ability to earn money via music is awesome nonetheless. Thanks for reading.
Can you make it to where you dont have to be a private student to change your outfits and make it to were if you do something bad the teacher wont try to fight you and if your in the principals office you can say what you want to say to the principal and can you make it to were you can explore around the house like a living room a kitchen and a bathroom and your parents room.
We cant figure it out and there is nothing that shows you the controls.
We dont like it we cant play im on our iPad and we dont like it.
WTH IS WRONG WITH YA EVERYTIME we TRY TO GO SOMEWHERE we GET TEAMED ON BY 5 GUYS we LITTERALY SAW 5 STUDENTS WITH GUNS SHOOTING ME.
Stop making the game freeze please, its annoying.
Since we bought the pass Im a teacher and nothing goes wrong in our life as a teacher but some of the kids have mental breakdowns and will attack us so we give them a pile driver. And then they go unconscious. Its very sad, It gives everyone the person sent to the hospital text on the top of the screen. Then we just have to hope we dont go to editor and see the kid we just gave a pike driver in the retired section, which actually means we killed the kid.
This game is so coool we have been playing this game instead of fortnite and roblox.
Add lockers and 2 spaces for backpacks.
Thank you so much for this also we really don't mind if the ads and can you make like a new game of like a family thank you yo games by.
This is exactly like real school days.
Like some others we love this game so but we like to say something we think you should add the features of having more thing in your backpack and there should be even more places you could go to like a new world where a coffee shop and they serve frappes iced coffee so you could go before school like a high school they should add a bus but we can kinda see why your not able to do that and have more features for class and gym cooking class and music not just the same old regular just cooler things to make this game better love you and from your biggest mdickie fan :).
We think you should make this game called city simulator. Use the same map as super city.(-aircraft) you can get a job, rob people or get robed, go to the millatary, or to jail, pay taxes if you dont you get evicted. Love all of your games, but we wold play this all day.
We love this game! But, we stopped playing it a few months ago. Then we went back! We brought a basketball to gym, and we cant shoot it! Ive done everything! Please help.
Hey mdickie love the game but when you get addition and become a teacher or the principal can you at least teach the students and grade them and when your the principal can you at least expelled students and fire teacher that will be fun.
It is great but it has very easy and easier problems that people can fit we believe that a bug is still in there and therefore it not working.
Can we please be able to wear our own clothes, we wanna show our drip dude.
One issue we have with the game is that its to short for us we would have loved to just graduate a grade and move on with your life but no we have to make another avatar or character to move on.
Could you make a 3D version and make the teachers yell at other students and make a summer day app.
We would like if the game can be online so we can play with our friends maybe and so their username and we can get our owns house please.
This game is rlly good but could u add lockers and more slots into the backpacks and there r too many adds could u put cars in this game just like ur other games?and could u make the house bigger and hve a kitchen a bathroom rooms for each one of us Thanks.
Okay, first of all, can you please add more slots to the backpack (we agree with other people) and can you add lockers? And we wanna have a house where you can chose where you wanna go. Also, can you just open the gate when School is starting, or ending instead of making the gate disappear. And can you stop showing the map when we go somewhere outside of the school. Im also tired of our family going in our room. Can you give them their own room? Can you also add cars, and scooters? And our girlfriend keeps on going into our house, so can you make everyone else a house too? We wanna respond to people too. And lastly, can you PLEASE not make our parents BEAT us if we get in trouble at school? At least start us off with a warning. And just make us get grounded also. Okay, lastly (for real this time) can you make an alarm clock visible please? Thanks. Do all of this and we will give a 5 star rating. :).
We like this game its fun but we think its better to give us a little more creative control when customizing our players. And allow us to use the feature to generate a new world how come we cant do that anymore.
So on our other iPad same account as this has this version and we bought the private version but everytime we play wont let us restore purchase.
Our cookery teacher keeps coming up to us and giving us a job to do. If we do it then our popularity grade will go down and if we dont do it then our cookery grade will go down and its frustrating. Fix it or Im deleting it.
So we thought this game was goanna be really fun,so we bought an instrument out of the store for 21$ for the Music class then out of nowhere one of the player stole it out of our hand so we simply took it back but then the teacher came running straight to us and hitting us for no reason and accused us of stealing it we were almost about to graduate,then after the teacher caught us she send us to the principal or court the court literally said in the favor of (the teachers name)that got us so mad in this been happening a lot and Im just getting tired of this game.Unstalling this game RIGHT NOW.
We hope you never made this game we really just hope you die you stupid head JUST DIE.
THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER we HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT SINCE IT CAME OUT AND we STILL LOVE IT.
Im so sorry for say that mat but you died for us! You dont release back wars for IOS and even dont update games! So we uninstalled all games because you made us so hopeless! And we immigrated to android for playing new games and updates! You died for us but we still remember you forever! We never forget 2013 when we playing hard time and become your diehard fan in a few minutes! We know you are taking a break because you are really deserve this! But we hope you back to game industry! History never forget you man! This is a hero gaming deserves! Long live a man that taking 20 years of his life to entertain someone and after a lot of good things he told they games ((worst games ever!) good luck.
We hate the ads there so annoying.
Dear developer your games are amazing.
We really like your games but do more 3D games like school days 3D.
READ This game is literally so fun, but if u were paying with random and REAL people, it would honestly be better then before, and im sure, ill be a rlly good upgrade.
Our taunt button is broken every time we go somewhere it always taunts and it always show an error when we do something please fix also we play on ios.
