20 in High School?

[Motive]

It's pretty funny noticing that teen and a highschool student is 20 in this case.

I saw people speculate that since the game was being released in other countries, they had to age up the characters since they can technically smoke cigs, drink wine, and use whatever the hell drugs are in the pharmacy.

I don't really know or care about the ages in general. It *is* funny when you use a clearly adult character (Haru, Yashiro, Mimi) to recruit kids from the school yard to go fight flesh eating monsters and outer gods. It's also strange to do a mystery like the Roommate one as a younger character when it implies that they live alone in an apartment instead of, y'know, with their parents.

It's Hentai logic.

In Japan and some parts of France , kids living alone in apartments is normal. Of course, they trust their children more than other countries do.

CERO Rating used in Japan video games prohibits depiction of minors (as in, under 20) smoking cigarettes.
As Cigarettes/Foreign Cigarettes are consumable items in World of Horror, the age of characters had to be bumped up to 20 else it wouldn't pass Japanese censorship and thus wouldn't be released in Japan.

It almost feels like a joke on that "aging characters up" trope, since it gets weird in both ways, at some points. Some stories and elements clearly only make sense if your character is at an age where they'd be attending high school, and others only make sense if they're an adult.

But, given that there's a bad ending where you're drugged, gang-raped, and impregnated "to death" (as in, they kill you after the nine months are up) and another where a bunch of high school kids tie you up, rape you while you're asleep, and then stab you when you wake up, you can see both why someone would decide that making the characters older would be a wise decision, and how it's a completely pointless, stupid thing to do regardless of that.

I know the bad ending with the 9 months part, but what the fk with that other one.

If you try to purchase four items in one run at the History Club (unlocked through the Shiokawa History VI achievement), you automatically get an...interesting bad ending and the Club Member achievement. Getting this ending at some point is actually incentivized, given that Club Member unlocks the character Toshiaki Wakamatsu.

Lol, if it weren't for the stabbing part, it would actually be the BEST ending!
