If Ayano Aishi acts strange or engages in an activity that can be seen as suspicious, strange, or rude by other students, a warning message will appear at the top center of the screen. Multiple messages can stack up at once, although they will disappear overtime.
Near Body[]
If Ayano stands too close to a corpse, a warning message will appear to warn the player. If Ayano is holding a corpse, NPCs will immediately deduce that she is the murderer. If Ayano is bloody, holding a bloody weapon and/or visibly insane while she is standing near a corpse, then the same conclusion will be met. Students will act upon their persona as if witnessing a murder, while teachers will run straight up to Ayano and disarm her, resulting her to be apprehended. If Senpai sees her, she will be heartbroken.
Visibly Armed[]
June 3rd, 2016.
If Ayano is holding a suspicious weapon, a warning message will appear to warn the player to put it away when near NPCs. This is accomplished by pressing the 1 key. Note that large weapons, such as the baseball bat, will be dropped instead of being put away. If Senpai sees Ayano with a dangerous weapon, she will be heartbroken. If a teacher or a Student Council member sees her, she will be sent to the Counselor's Office to explain to Genka Kunahito about her actions. If a student sees her, her reputation will lower.
Visibly Bloody[]
June 3rd, 2016.
Ayano will only become visibly bloody if she has attacked an NPC with a weapon and killed them, or dismembered a corpse, which leaves blood on both her uniform and her body. NPC reactions to seeing Ayano covered in blood are the same as when they see Ayano holding a weapon, although they are accompanied with different dialogue. To get rid of the blood, she must enter the shower room, take off her clothes by the lockers, and then bathe in the bathroom. The bloody uniform that is left must be disposed of to maintain the atmosphere of the school and leave no evidence, although in the future bloody uniforms may be used to frame another girl.[1]
Low Sanity[]
June 3rd, 2016.
As Ayano commits murder, her sanity will drain. If it is low enough to turn the cardiograph red, then the player will receive a warning that Ayano is visibly insane. When Ayano has low sanity, a shadow will cover half her face, her eyes will become dull and her body will begin to twitch and shake. To restore sanity, she can either laugh insanely, stand near Senpai, or "use" a photo of him. If caught visibly insane by NPCs, the consequences will be the same as when Ayano is caught holding a weapon with different dialogue.
Visibly Lewd[]
June 3rd, 2016.
When Ayano positions her camera to focus on a female student's panties or skirt, the warning message will appear. The consequences are the same as when Ayano is caught holding a suspicious weapon, with different dialogue. Taking such inappropriate photos of female NPC's without a proper AI (such as the Rival-chan) will not activate this warning message, due to being incomplete.
Intruding[]
June 3rd, 2016.
During class time, Ayano is expected to be in her own classroom. If she decides to enter a different classroom during one of the class periods, the teacher will eventually notice that she doesn't belong there. The warning message will activate immediately upon entrance. The teacher will give four warnings to leave the classroom before losing her patience and sending Ayano to the counselor's office. Only a teacher will react to an intrusion in her classroom. This HUD also appears in the faculty room if Ayano enters. If she lingers, she will be sent to the counselor's office.
Eavesdropping[]
This warning message appears if Ayano is caught eavesdropping on a private conversation, such as Raibaru Fumetsu and Osana Najimi's conversation on Monday during cleaning time, or the Basu sister's conversations in the mornings. If she walks in on the conversation enough that the NPCs can see her, they will remind her that the conversation is private. They will then walk away without continuing any dialogue.
Late for Class[]
June 3rd, 2016.
This warning message will appear the moment Ayano is late for class. Depending on how late Ayano is, the number of study points she would be allocated will decrease. So far, only teachers will scold her for being late. Her reputation will lower each time she is late.
New Information[]
If Ayano comes across new information, a message display what she has found out about. Multiple messages can stack up at once, although they disappear overtime.
Learned New Info[]
January 15th, 2016.
This notification message will only appear once the player leads Ayano into learning certain information about someone, such as Osana's blackmailing problem. Ayano can use information gained against NPCs in a variety of different ways.
The Sanity meter is a cardiograph shown on the bottom right of the HUD and is used to show Ayano's sanity. Certain harmful actions slowly increase the intensity of the cardiograph from normal pulsing bright pink to rapid pulsing red.
To restore Ayano's sanity, she has to laugh insanely for a period of time, stand near Senpai, "use" a picture of Senpai, or pass time for one hour.[2]
The Reputation meter can be found in the bottom left of the HUD and is a general description of how others view Ayano. A small arrow to the left indicates a negative reputation, while an arrow to the right indicates a positive reputation, and an arrow in the middle indicates neutral reputation.
Neutral Reputation in 202X Mode.
Raising reputation will not currently affect interactions with students (such as asking for favors). The white line shows where Ayano's reputation currently is, while the pink arrow icon shows where the Ayano's reputation will be after a gossiping period. Gossiping periods occur when Ayano attends class, leaves school, or enters and exits the Counsler's Office.
Raising Ayano's reputation can be accomplished by socializing with and apologizing to students. When students catch Ayano performing suspicious actions, such as carrying a weapon or taking panty shots, her reputation drops.
Reputation is highly important; Ayano's reputation drops to -100, Senpai will reject her love confession, leading her to be heartbroken.[3] If Ayano's reputation drops to -100 and she goes to class, she also will receive the same fate.
Actions[]
"Open" action.
The little square that indicates the ability to perform an action if getting close enough.
The player can interact with NPCs or objects in many ways, like picking up an item or talking with an NPC. When there's a chance to perform an action, a button prompt will appear showing the button that must be held down. The name of the item will also show up depending on what it is. When Ayano is not close enough, a square will appear instead.
Noisy and Suspicious Actions[]
"Steal Answer Sheet" action.
Progress bar.
If an action produces noise, a red speaker icon will appear on top of the button prompt. If an option is suspicious (such as stealing Sakyu Basu's ring), the text will appear red. When the action begins, a progress bar will appear on screen, indicating to the player when it will end. NPCs will react to noises, but they can be covered up with the radio.
If a real-life band uses their tracks in the game, a small “Now Playing” box will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen when their track starts playing, and it will disappear after several seconds.
Power Up[]
April 15th, 2016.
When Ayano is in the Gaming Club she can play several games to boost her stats. After every game, a pink "POWER UP" sign will appear accompanied by a jingle. It will disappear after three seconds.
Frame Rate[]
High frame rate. March 31st, 2016.
Low frame rate. March 31st, 2016.
High frame rate. January 15th, 2016.
Low frame rate. January 15th, 2016.
The Frame Rate section of the HUD indicates how smoothly the game is running as measured in frames per second (FPS). A low frame rate means the game is running slowly, while a high frame rate means the game is working fast. There is an option to hide the FPS count in the Settings if the player does not want to see it.
Time and Money[]
7:00 AM at school. October 9th, 2015.
6:30 AM in Ayano's bedroom. October 9th, 2015.
8:00 PM in Ayano's bedroom. October 9th, 2015.
The Time section of the HUD indicates the in-game time and is displayed on the top right. At the top, the clock time (including whether it is AM or PM) is shown.
Right below the clock time, in smaller letters, the current stage of the day is shown. These stages are Before School, Lunchtime, Classtime, Cleaning Time, and After School. While in the Aishi House, it will instead display the current location as At Home.
The third text indicates the current day of the week, and the bottom text indicates how much money Ayano has in dollars ($).
The Police Timer section of the HUD is displayed in the top left corner of the screen when the police have been called to the school. The player is shown a timer that counts down from five minutes to when the police will arrive.
The HUD will show whether or not Ayano has cleaned up the blood, disposed of her bloody clothing, disposed of her bloody weapon, disposed of any body parts, and disposed of any corpses. Ayano will not get caught as long as she at least disposes of the uniform, gloves, and weaponS. If not, the police will find Ayano's DNA on each of these, leading her to be arrested.
Indicator[]
Indicator. January 15th, 2016.
If the indicator appears, then it means that Ayano is breaking rules and students will become suspicious if they are around her. This pairs with the warning messages at the top of the screen. The same indicator appears when Ayano has positioned a dumpster in the perfect spot to catch a falling corpse, possibly to show that Ayano cannot move it any further in a direction.
When entering the storage room on the right side of the gym, a Kidnapping Checklist will appear onscreen, telling the player if they meet all of the criteria to perform a kidnapping or not. If the player doesn't meet all of the criteria, Ayano will kill the victim instead. The checklist indicates that the player is possessing a tranquilizer, their biology stats are at level 2, the follower is not a teacher or male, a syringe is currently being held in the hand, and that the door is closed.
When completing a scheme, instructions for each step are located in the top right corner.
Step 1: Steal Sakyu Basu's ring while she is eating lunch.
Step 2: Place stolen ring in your rival's bag.
Step 3: Report your rival to the guidance counselor.
Inventory[]
The Inventory is displayed in the bottom of the screen when the buttons 1 to 4 are pressed, to show which weapons or items that the player currently their inventory. There are three main inventory spaces, a fourth one for wearing a mask, and a few hidden ones for wearing a cello case, weapon bag, or bookbag.[4]
When in Ayano's Bedroom, a HUD will appear in the top right-hand corner, which tells the player the time, place and day. When the player walks up to the bed, the computer, the television, her panty drawer, the Senpai Shrine, the corkboard, or the door, a small HUD will appear to display the respective words.
Mission Mode displays most of the usual HUD items but with a black and white color scheme, rather than a black and pink color scheme. The Futura font is replaced with Arial. The Reputation Meter is replaced with an Awareness Meter. It will increase when students see Ayano acting suspiciously (e.g. holding a weapon). If the Awareness Meter reaches 100, Ayano will fail the mission, as she has blown her cover, and students now know she may commit murder. In addition, when all targets have been eliminated, there will be a message on the top of the screen saying "Mission Complete".
While playing this video game, there are two main HUD elements. On the left is Beldere-chan's health. It is colored red and depletes when taking damage. When she attacks zombies, she also gains experience, which is shown in the green bar on the bottom of the screen. When her EXP bar turns completely green, Beldere-chan levels up. As the zombies never stop spawning, she can fill the experience bar as much as she desires until she reaches level 99.
Dracula-chan also has a health bar when Beldere-chan begins her boss battle, located on the right side of the screen. It flashes rainbow during the whole battle, depletes when she is hurt, and turns clear when she is defeated.

Locations[]
Location indicators used to appear when Ayano stood in front of a door, telling the player what room she was near. The name of the room she was about to enter was shown above the Sanity Meter and only appeared if Ayano was right in front of or in the specified room.
The indicators told the player which classroom, exit, or office Ayano was currently at. This was removed in the November 15th, 2015 Build when name tags were added next to the rooms, except for the Greenhouse HUD, which was implemented after these were removed.
Biking[]
When in Buraza Town, a biking HUD would appear in the bottom right-hand corner, which told the player how long they had spent in town (time taken to get to school) and Ayano's longest wheelie. It was later removed as a new town was created.
Trivia[]
If Ayano kills a student in a way that doesn't leave evidence (e.g. drowning), and a witness manages to activate the police timer and calls the police, the blood, uniform, body parts, and weapon warnings will still appear. However, they will already have ticks next to them.
The original Sanity Meter was located on the bottom right corner, slightly skewed.
The original Time HUD was located on the top right corner, slightly skewed.
The original reputation bar was located on the top left corner, slightly skewed.
The original police timer was located on the bottom left corner, slightly skewed.
