History YMMV / MetaWareHighSchoolDemo

* ObviousBeta: The game has StylisticSuck assets to remind you that this is supposed to be a demo. And when the gang goes to the Mochi Shop, a lot of things start breaking. The gang having no eyes might also be meant as a sign that the game is not finished.

** On a (presumably) less deliberate note, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSW4932o9EI "Too Intense Beat 2"]] sounds really similar to VisualNovel/DanganRonpa's title theme with a calmer section that sounds like the VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld theme's melody.
