學園文豪ストレイドッグス

What kind of game this is

學園文豪ストレイドッグス is a school-life adventure game. Characters from the Bungo Stray Dogs anime appear as students and teachers at 私立櫻眞學園, a high school. The game mixes the daily school story with raising characters, battling and exploring.

According to the listing, the main story is fully original and is set at the academy and in Yokohama. The game is rated PEGI 3.

Story, school exploration and the other world

The story starts with Nakajima Atsushi, Oda Sakunosuke as homeroom teacher, Kunikida Doppo as vice-president of the armed student council, and Dazai Osamu as an upperclassman. Dazai warns the group not to approach the old school building at twilight. A black cat leads Atsushi and his friends into the restricted building, and a mirror pulls them into 'ヰ界', a reflected world.

Players work through the mystery as the 黄昏調査倶楽部 (Twilight Investigation Club). Parts of the main story have full voice acting. A separate mini-game lets small versions of the characters wander the school and Yokohama, and their lines change depending on which characters are combined.

Cards, voices and character training

Characters are collected as cards. The listing says the cards use illustrations drawn for this game, and each card has recorded voice lines. SSR cards change their illustration as they are trained and include a special scenario.

The voice cast includes 上村祐翔 as Nakajima Atsushi, 宮野真守 as Dazai Osamu, 諏訪部順一 as Oda Sakunosuke, 福山潤 as Sakaguchi Ango and 神谷浩史 as Edogawa Ranpo, along with others.

Battles, formations and auto mode

Battles use a line strategy system with simple controls. Characters can perform combined attacks with each other, so the team you arrange for a stage affects how fights play out.

An auto mode runs battles without manual input, which the listing presents as a way to clear stages quickly.

Music and theme songs

The opening theme is 「魔ガツ夜ハ青ナリ」 by GRANRODEO, with lyrics by 谷山紀章 and music and arrangement by 飯塚昌明. The in-game music is by 岩﨑 琢, with a main theme 「昏」, a school theme 「集フ」 and an other-world theme 「ヰナル」.
