The K-Files by bricks

 

So far scenarios have tried to show us what would happen if Kiyoshi got the remote (Kiyoshi's Gaiden) and what if Katrina would have gotten the remote (Greener Grasses), it was fair that Kyoko's turn to have the baton now.

Once Kyoko gets the remote and shows it to her friends, Kiyoshi recommends using it to solve mysteries and the scenario turns into a Scooby-Doo episode. Basically, Michelle asks about a weird thing that happened to her in the storeroom of the school, so Kiyoshi and Kyoko go and start to find out, Katrina and Claus later join in the fun.

Overall I thought the story was okay, I was thinking they would use the memory copy function to solve a mystery but in the end, the remote isn't used this way, there isn't too much comedy and the scenario gives a bigger Slice-of-Life vibe. Kiyoshi gets gender-bent, some small, some cute mind control follows, and the case ends up solved in a wacky and nonsensical way (it seems you can't mind control ghosts but you can exorcise them wiping away their memories) and after some funny but fake advancements for future episodes, the scenario ends.

The scenario is overall complete, with around 40 minutes of gameplay. While the story isn't really TF-focused, it might be disappointing for some, I find it non-essential in the very end but I can say that you can still give it a shot if you want some cute, inoffensive fun. It's not great, but it's good.

Kwumpus Hunt by MechMage

Absurd, surreal, and goofy. Based on a text adventure game from the 70s, Kwumpus Hunt offers a fantastic comedy wrapped up in puzzle-like gameplay that any Student Transfer fan should check at least once if they want to try out something different and refreshing.

The plot centers around Mel and her quest for the Kwumpus, an evil entity that has taken over the school changing everything and everybody to his liking. With the help of her friend and guide Flavia, Mel will have to find out what is happening and strike in the right moment to free the school of its perdition.

The gameplay is nonlinear and even randomized. Now, before you flip up about randomizer use, I have to say that this is randomizer use done right. There are several characters that appear in different rooms every time, the location of the villain is also randomized so you will never know where to actually attack. The rooms without characters offer to the player the possibility to watch pieces of the past to collect clues about the evil Kwumpus to make sense out of the situation.

The rooms with characters will not let you get any clues from that room, so, to get all clues, you will need to replay the scenario several times; even then, the scenario lets you get the right ending with a single playthrough. Replaying the game is very enjoyable anyway thanks to the 7 different endings you can get in total (9 countings some small variations according to Mech, but I didn't see them anywhere, to be honest).

Each room gives you a limited selection of other rooms to go to, if you find end up walking to a room with the wrong character, you will get a bad ending; you have to learn how to go through the right combination of rooms to navigate through the school without being found by the villain or one of the mind-controlled people before time. 

One thing I found a bit annoying is that the rooms do not follow a certain pattern, naturally. Being in the stairway doesn't give you the option to go to the roof, and being on the gate doesn't necessarily let you go to the courtyard, you have to go through several rooms until you find one that lets you access the room you are looking for. While some people might find this a small inconvenience that could increase gameplay without adding any actual content, I found it to be just a small nitpick in the otherwise interesting random mechanics of the game. Because yes, that's right, this is not just a visual novel, this is an actual puzzle game where you have to press the right buttons at the right time.

A lot of the TF events like gender-bending, possession, and twinning are used either just in small amounts or are relegated for comedic gags, so overall I would classify this as a Mind Control focused scenario since it is after all the main threat destroying the school.

While I would not recommend it to people who want a thought through serious TF narrative or to lewd and sex-oriented TF fans, I think Kwumpus Hunt is a great choice for anybody who is looking for come comedy-oriented TF content. It is not just very interactive but also very funny and one of its kind.

Bigger Better Stronger! by Clavietika the Gynaecoid

Cover made by me

This is the worst scenario ever made! It blatantly copies the structure of another, better scenario, Graceful Misfortune, where the characters go through a wacky situation and then at the end, the whole school goes insane. The author couldn't even make dialogues for the Breast Expansion bits, so they are stolen from A New Life, really, this is truly pathetic.

There are poor attempts to make jokes and some of them are even ripped of South Park and an OVA from the series Happiness. Who would have thought this was a good idea, making a scenario of a concept as minuscule and idiotic like Breast Expansion? Half of the scenario is spent talking to the fucking genie while we hear why Yui ends up wishing for bigger boobs instead of something else. After that the scenario has rushed the fuck out until the end, making everything happen too fast, the ending is way too cheesy and even saccharine to the point it doesn't make sense.

The only good thing is the breast expansion animation but even then why spending the time growing the boobs of a character that we already had seen with big boobs? Seriously this is a fucking waste of your time, get away from it.

A Preview of Version 3 by usa2z

 

The preview of Student Transfer v3 is sublime,¿and ineffable, it starts in the branch connecting to Popular Possession, but this time John and Kiyoshi go and possess popular guys instead of girls.

It ends up with Kiyoshi's acceptance of his real identity and getting closer to John in ways both didn't know before, incredibly beautiful.

(Spoiler: In summary, this was a short April Fools joke).

Kiyoshi Gaiden by Pegasus

Despite the infamous reputation the character of Kiyoshi has in the canon game and even more thanks to the scenario Harem, a lot of people have gotten away of Kiyoshi-related stories, but one of the first published scenarios actually depicts a very fun take on the character and his surroundings.

In this scenario, Kiyoshi is abducted by aliens instead of John, and around 1 ending and three placeholders are given in 15 minutes of playtime.

Some people might expect a dream-ish hell hole like in Harem since Kiyoshi is the character that seems is the one that is most expected to abuse the power of the remote like Harem did, and he does in one of the routes, but at the difference of the previous scenario, the author actually acknowledges Kiyoshi's mischievousness and shows empathy for the students that are going to be mind-controlled by him and in an actually funny way. The story ends there on a placeholder, but for what it seems like, it seems that the author planned in Kiyoshi actually learn from his action, but nothing can be said aside from that.

The other routes are less impressive, Kiyoshi becoming Zoey, breaking the remote, and meeting Brad, which seemed to point into ID or PD but it ends too soon as well.

In the other one, Kiyoshi tells John about the remote and they use the possession function of the remote (explained in a conveniently and clever sci-fi way) and also ends soon in a placeholder.

Although the scenario doesn't contain enough content to be considered a story on its own, it offers a lot of great jokes, even some at Kiyoshi himself. In the only ending, the scenario has now he decides to not accept the remote and asks the alien bunny girl to have sex with her instead of proposing interspecies intercourse since the alien can't get data now with Kiyoshi experimenting with the remote, she decides to examine him through his rectal cavity instead.

In general, this scenario is everything that Harem should have been, it has a more human depiction of Kiyoshi showing that a funny story can actually be made around him possessing the remote, and overall offers a good, short blueprint for any people interested in writing a story with him as a protagonist.
