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 1.3 CHANGES--
- Added a brand new item, the Class Schedule. This totally optional item can be found on Kyle's desk in Room 203 at any time during the first acts of the game and will (hopefully) help the player remember which classes will advance the story.
- Added a few new haunting events related to the Class Schedule. How do you access them? I'll let you guys figure it out. ;) Again, these are entirely optional and don't significantly change the story.
- Fixed countertop objects (e.g. computers) that clipped through the counters after the last update.
- Fixed a glitch where checking a certain desk froze the game.
- Fixed yet ANOTHER wall-walking glitch in the last act of the game.
- Fixed the gossiping girls haunting event; the dialogue will now change depending on your progress as originally intended.
- Moved one of the NPCs because, apparently, Neela has a tendency to run right through her... >_>
- Corrected some SE/BGM issues (wrong sounds being played, BGM failing to fade in/out, etc.).
- Various typo/text corrections.
- Finally, because I couldn't figure out a good way to put them in the game itself, there are now maps of St. Giles Academy included in the .zip file. Now you'll never get lost in the school again... hopefully. :D;;

--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.
