Occult Club



The Occult Club is a club in Akademi High School.

Appearance
The room is located on the first floor in the northern wing. The floor has a purple and black checkerboard color scheme, and the walls are purple as well. On the floor is a large black rug decorated with a pentagram and candles. There is a pentagram poster on each wall. In the back of the room is an altar that holds a skull, a book, and six goblets. Another pentagram hangs above the table. The windows are covered by thick curtains.

As of the January 1st, 2016 Update, the club has several bookshelves and high-backed purple armchairs where club members will sit and

read the Necronomicon. There will be more pages in the books when more features are added to the Occult Club.

Joining the Club
To join the club, the player will first have to talk to Oka Ruto. They have to select the "Join" option on the interaction wheel. Afterwards, they can participate in club activities.

Benefits
While Yandere-chan is a member of this club, the player's sanity will deplete at 50% of the normal rate and students will take longer to notice Yandere-chan. (i.e. Low Sanity, covered in blood, holding a weapon, criminal activities)

Use
After every school day, members of this club will enter the room. Every student except Oka will sit on a chair and read paranormal books. Oka instead will stand in the middle of the pentagram.

If the player joins in with Occult Activities, they will all try to perform rituals like the "Sachiko Ever After" ritual from Corpse Party, though they cannot accomplish anything. Usually, the members will try to summon a demon, albeit unsuccessfully.

In the first few weeks of the full game, Shin Higaku will substitute for Oka as president, since Oka will not be present at first. The player will still be able to participate in club activities, however, until the president finally comes back. In later updates, there will be an event in the Occult Club where Yandere-chan leans back, covered in blood, with white arms coming out of the ground. It is unknown when it will be implemented.

Members

 * Oka Ruto, the club president
 * Shin Higaku, the substitute president
 * Chojo Tekina
 * Daku Atsu
 * Kokuma Jutsu
 * Supana Churu
 * Yandere-chan (player choice)

Leaving and Disbanding
Yandere-chan will be kicked out of the club if a member of the Occult Club connects her to murder. Oka will tell Yandere-chan that she has "a very dark aura". If the protagonist avoids speaking directly to Oka, she will be kicked out of the club via text message at the end of the school day. If Oka is killed or there are less than five members of the club, the club will disband. Once the club closes, the door to the room will be locked.

Yandere-chan will also be kicked out if the player does not participate in club activities at least once a week.

The player can ask permission to leave, but once they leave, they can never join again.

Trivia

 * According to Druelbozo, YandereDev specifically requested that he make all students in this club look similar to Oka Ruto. Druelbozo also said that they may have different hair colors in the future.
 * The male members of the club have custom eyes, unlike the rest of the male students currently implemented, who are based off the same model as Senpai.
 * Most Occult Club Members have their right eye covered, the exceptions being Oka Ruto and Shin Higaku.
 * As of the January 1st, 2016 Update, every member has the Loner persona except for Daku Atsu, who is a Teacher's Pet. In the future, Oka Ruto may also have a different persona--one unique to rivals.
 * As of the December 3rd, 2015 Update, dark ambient music will play when standing inside the club room.
 * YandereDev once said that most students in this club were Loners with "shy" animations. They were said to not wear special stockings, but would wear simple black leggings. It's possible that this will happen in the full game, or that this was slightly inaccurate.
 * Because many people have been searching for an Easter Egg in the Occult room, YandereDev will put something there.
 * There may be an event in the future where a member can interact with the Phantom Girl.
 * The room was implemented in the November 15th, 2015 Update.
 * Oka Ruto, a rival, is the founder and president of this Occult Club at Akademi High. There have been only two Occult Clubs throughout the school's history. There was a short-lived one that existed for only one season in 1989, and then another one that was created in 2017 by Oka Ruto.
 * The hands rising out of the ground may be a possible reference to Dead Hand from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
 * If the player examines the Cheese Storage Room, the skull on the table will gain a blue eye. The eye will stop glowing the next day. This is a reference to another video game.
