Photography Club

The Photography Club is a club in Akademi.

Appearance[]

The Photography Club is located on the third floor of the northern wing. The ceiling and front wall are gray while the floor, back wall, and side walls are white. There is a shooting set with a stool, a white backdrop, various lights, and a black SAIKOU camera.

There are twelve whiteboards with multiple black and white polaroids of various objects, locations, and students around Akademi. There are six on the west and back walls, three on the left side of the room, and three on the right. There is also a dartboard on the back wall.

There is a small section at the front of the room that acts as a little "hideout" for the club members to hang out. The walls are made of whiteboards, and two curtains act as doors. This area has two wooden tables pushed together, and there are six folding chairs around it. There is a pink and white rug, miscellaneous anime-style posters (including Magical Girl Pretty Miyuki), figurines in glass cases, and five Life Note manga.

Gameplay[]

While the protagonist is a member of the Photography Club, the other students won't change their pose when a camera is pointed at them. She can also zoom in and out with her phone, making it easier to snap pictures from far distances. In 1980s Mode, if Ryoba Aishi joins the Photography Club, she will be able to take photos.

LowAtmoPhotography — Participating in activities when school's atmosphere is low.

All members of this club are sleuths, which means that they will start their own investigation if the school's atmosphere is below 80%. They did not investigate the protagonist when she was a part of this club, as they won't suspect that she is the culprit.

The protagonist will be kicked out if another member of the club witnesses her committing murder on the previous day. She will also be kicked out if she does not participate in club activities at least once a week. If the leader dies or if there are less than five members in the club, the club will disband. Once the club closes, the door to the room will be locked, but the protagonist can use a lockpick to open the door. She can also request permission to leave, but once she leaves, she can never join again.

Club Schedule[]

At 7:05 AM, if the school atmosphere is higher than 80%, the members of this club hang out in the club room. If the school atmosphere is lower, they first discuss the situation together, and at 7:25 AM, they walk around the school with cameras and ask the other students if they know anything.

They eat their lunch near the clubroom at 1:00 PM.

If the school atmosphere is higher than 80%, they hang out in the clubroom from 4:00 PM until the end of the day. If it's lower, they continue asking the other students at 4:00 PM until 5:00 PM, when they gather in the clubroom again to discuss what they've learned.
