Of course, the idea is not unique (the idea of Battle Royale itself being either directly derived from, or derived from something else that was derived from, an old short story titled 'The Most Dangerous Game'), but I've never come across a visual novel utilizing it.

I don't see the connection. People being forced to fight each other to the death is a timeless idea. It was ancient when the Romans had their gladiator fights, which actually happened. It is not, however, an idea that appears in 'The Most Dangerous Game' (which had a completely different scenario: one armed man hunting one unarmed man for sport).
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure Eve hit Adam with that apple too, but what would be more interesting is some kind of a review... Seems I just can't download it from this link, though I'd like to have a look at it.

Actually, come to think of it, you're right...xDD;
I suppose I can see why my mind immediately connected 'man hunting man' to 'group of people fighting each other to the death for some else's amusement'. Regardless, though, there actually is a host of movies with the latter theme, one of which being (aside from Battle Royale) The Condemned.
I forgot the mac/linux link. Those will be included in the final release. The final release includes a newly designed interface (see file) and the first chapter. I realized that I should just go ahead and make the whole frickin thing since people seem to not want it released in chapters.
Thanks for the feedback.
AND I think you will all like where I head immediately after the first afternoon. Or during it. It scared the shit out of me while writing it.
Not only is the main menu redesigned (fully custom (thank you Sanya for the help)) but I have also added a music room, a custom dialouge box, and some other cool shit.

I was to post the same (with more direct knowledge, being only 230 Km from the Urbs and also having the priviledge & Honour of my birth certificate having the header "Comune di Roma - S.P.Q.R.".....
So i limit myself to saying that one of the major venues of this "sport" is still standing, but I guess this is more than well-known..
Damn it! I wanted to be the one to make a game called "The Game", for the sole purpose of causing people to lose The Game (if you don't know about The Game, go to "losethegame.com". To put it shortly, if you think about The Game, you lose.) But still...damn. And I just lost and I was having a winning streak too!
Well, I can still make a comic called The Game.
I must remember to play this when I get home from vacation as this isn't my computer. Even though I've heard the concept a lot before, I've never heard of it done with...school. And why do their parents allow this again?! I mean, wouldn't it make sense if their parents didn't know the whole truth or something? Or if they didn't know at all?

Oh I am QUITE familiar with "the game". Damn internet. But about the parents. That is explained.
Now, an update. I have finished the first day!
Only six more to go!
I should probably move this thread somewhere else...cause I keep bumping it...
