Prom Dreams is a freeware romance/horror adventure game created with RPG Maker VX Ace. You are Kyle Mason, a soft-spoken, popular senior at the elite St. Giles Academy. After a traumatic breakup with a girl from his old school, Kyle is eager to move on with his life - and his senior prom, he believes, will be the perfect opportunity to do just that. With the help of his nosy best friend and the rest of the school, Kyle must win the hands and hearts of one of three girls: the cute, bubbly junior, Neela Devar, the brash basketball MVP, Maggie Pham, or the cool, intelligent class leader, Brooke O’Keefe. It’s up to you to ensure the perfect prom night! Or… is it?

--CONTENT WARNING--
As a horror game, Prom Dreams contains depictions of or references to the following subjects:
- Graphic Violence (duh)
- Blood and Gore (also duh)
- Murder, Suicide, and Death (also also duh)
- Strong Language
- Torture
- Bullying
- Cruelty Towards the Disabled
- Some Sudden Noises/Jump Scares (Not too many, though; I hate their overuse as much as anybody. ;) )
- Some Flashing Images
This game is NOT recommended for players who are faint-of-heart or younger than 16. If you are neither of these things and will not be upset by the above content, I hope you enjoy.
--VERSION 1.2 CHANGES--
- All countertops (e.g. in the computer room, home ec room, science labs) can now be more easily passed behind, making moving around the school a little bit easier.
- Small changes to the dining hall to make it easier to move around in.
- All choice boxes now have a longer lag time before them, making it more difficult to select a choice by accident.
- Certain events can no longer be triggered from weird angles (e.g. opening a cabinet from behind it).
- Slight graphical modifications during the endgame scenario.
- Kyle and the other students no longer try to do their work on turned-off computers like a bunch of idiots. :P
- Fixed a glitch involving the audio after the Loop 3 music room scene.
- Library puzzle items no longer removable after solving said puzzle.
- Fixed a variable error causing a small dialogue change after reading the optional diaries in the endgame scenario to not occur.
- Improved translation for the Portuguese bits thanks to an anonymous YouTuber. :)
- Various typo corrections and a few small script corrections (mostly to fill minor plot holes).

--TIPS--
Prom Dreams does not utilize save points; rather, saving and loading will always be available from the main menu, with the exception of a few specific scenes. It's recommended that you save often.
Prom Dreams is meant to be explored thoroughly; as time passes, characters will have different things to say, and special events will also occur at different points. Talk to everyone and check everything - yes, even if you've already done it once. Some events may even happen completely at random, so watch your step...
Finally, some characters in Prom Dreams may ask for your assistance for something trivial. Do your best to help them - it may pay off in ways you don't expect. But these opportunities don't last forever, and once they're gone, they're gone for good.
