A school may not seem like the best setting for a game centered around a grizzly murder, nor one in which the main protagonist beats up just about every person that he meets. That said,Lost Judgmentdefinitely makes the most of its high school hub, providing players with ten unique School Stories to supplement its fantastic main story and the many Side Cases and mini-games that are also on offer.

In total, there are ten School Stories for players to dig into, with each one having its own special unlock requirements and challenges. In fact, some ofLost Judgment’s very best mini-games come courtesy of these carefully crafted cases, though that’s not to say that there aren’t one or two duds mixed in there as well. For those looking to unlock the seven associated trophies/achievements though, they’ll all need to be completed regardless.

Not only is the MRC the first School Story that players will gain access to, but it’s also the very last one that they’ll complete. It sees Tak and Amasawa investigating The Professor: a mysterious figure with links to nefarious activities all over town. It’s by far the most fleshed-out of the ten stories, though doesn’t really get going until after the other nine have been fully explored.

The Dance Club investigation sees Tak become an Outside Advisor for the Seiryo Rabbits: a dance troupe with big dreams of going to nationals. Players will need to take part in a rhythm-based mini-game as well as completing a few mini-investigations in order to help them to achieve their goal.

When Seiryo High’s Robotics Club’s signature bolts are found at a crime scene, Amasawa suggests that Tak investigates. In order to gain their trust and get to the bottom of the mystery, players will need to complete a territory-based mini-game involving robots and help the club to win the Robot RE Rally competition.

Garage
The Biker Gang investigation sees players taking part in a special Death Race minigame in order to infiltrate and disband a local motorcycle gang. They’ll need to complete 12 of these races in total, with each more difficult than the last. There’s also a tailing mission and some colorful characters involved.
Reach Level 5 in any Leadership category
Seiryo High School, 3F
The Photography Club is one of the shorter School Stories inLost Judgment, with players simply needing to take three photographs in order to complete it. The last one is preceded by a rather annoying infiltration mission, however, which might take some players a couple of attempts to master.
Hamakita Park
Though certainly functional, the skateboarding mini-game that features as part of the Skaters storyline is incredibly basic. The good news is it’s also very short, with players simply needing to complete a handful of runs in order to uncover the truth behind a pair of feuding skaters.
The eSports Club investigation is also a fairly short one. Players will need to find out whether the club’s leader cheated in a recent tournament, though they won’t be able to do so until they have defeated every member of the club in a game ofVirtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown. Thankfully, they’re all pretty bad, so this shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.
Secret Casino
The Casino story requires players to investigate the president of the Board Games Club, who has recently started gambling at an underground casino. To complete the short investigation, they’ll need to follow her to the casino, gain access, and then find a way to nullify her remarkable readings skills to beat her in a hand of poker.
Tail Bomber as part of the Biker Gang storyline
Girl’s Bite
To complete the Girl’s Bar School Story, players will need to earn the trust of a popular Girl’s Bar worker by becoming a regular at her club and befriending some of her coworkers. This can be done by buying them drinks and then playing a drunken sentence constructor mini-game or beating them at darts. It’s also the only way to unlock several of the game’s Side Cases and so is definitely worth completing despite its somewhat tedious nature.
