High School Story, for the iOS and Android platforms, has two types of money, but when you're playing, you seemingly never have enough of either of them. The main form of money is coins, while the premium form of currency is rings (as in, high school class rings). Coins are mildly difficult to come by, while rings are nearly impossible, usually.
High School Story has recently had a name change to Monster High @ High School Story for rather obvious reasons - that being the addition of new Monster High characters to the game. Each of the four characters from the Monster High series can now be added to your high school, where they can mingle and interact with all of your other characters.
Can a video game save a life? In light of how many digital lives players snuff out on a daily basis it may seem counterintuitive, but it's an aspect of gaming that is quickly gaining credibility. The rise of indie developers has seen the emergence of games that deal prominently with serious social topics such as bullying and sexism, as well as physical and mental health. Stories of people who owe their lives to these games have not been far behind. High School Story is a mobile high school-themed game by Pixelberry Studios, a team of former EA developers. It combines simulation with story-driven quests, and has seen over six million downloads to date.
Yes it can be an escape from reality it just depends what game your playing at the time.
If i was angry and depressed and played a violent game i dont think id calm down as much as playing say a racing game or sports game.
Probably say that many tend to escape into MMOs or RPGs. Create a new persona, make friends with people across the country or world, etc.
Exactly imagine how its gonna be when we got virtual reality.....come home had a shit day go into a virtual world of skyrim or something!
Open sandboxes are pretty therapeutic, so are platformers and the Gameboy Advanced :3
Ever dreamed about going back to High School? Well, neither have I, but if you were a football player in Texas or a surfer guy in San Diego, maybe you’re one of those who have! High School Story puts you in the shoes of a high school student who is tasked with building a brand new high school from scratch, AND with taking on Hearst High, which is the top school in your city.
