Overview

About this game

You play as Elena, a popular journalist who often reminisces on her high school days when she ran a viral gossip page called Kiss and Tell.

One day, she wakes up to find herself stuck in a room with several familiar faces from her past high school days. This high school reunion turns deadly when they find out the only way to escape is for one of them to die. Now, she must climb the popularity ladder once again to gain influence and possibly condemn a peer… if she doesn’t, they will choose her to die. Those who are unlikeable are the easiest targets, after all. 

POPULARITY CONTEST is a choice-heavy mystery thriller visual novel with a branching timeline.
