Evil School Characters
Sisters, bullies, and the thousand faces of a campus built for judgment — profiles for every major role.
Evil School is performed by a theatrical-scale cast: fourteen lead actors including veterans Zhang Xinhua and Min Zheng, plus more than fifty featured extras across a real university campus. Over one thousand performers appear in total, but the story’s emotional gravity rests on a small circle tied to the 2018 disappearance of Gu Panyu and her sister Gu Panqing’s return eight years later with a blood-stained list.
This hub links every major profile so you can cross-reference motives before making trial decisions. FMV games punish uninformed choices — knowing who lied in the equipment room matters as much as picking dialogue tone.
Core cast — start here
| Character | Role | Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Gu Panqing | Protagonist, avenger | Gu Panqing |
| Gu Panyu | Missing sister, 2018 victim | Gu Panyu Mystery |
| Li Manting | Primary bully, blood list | Li Manting |
| Zhang Yao | Co-bully, blood list | Zhang Yao |
Gu Panqing entered the school hunting truth, not romance. Her notebook — filled with the blood and tears of bullying records — names Li Manting and Zhang Yao first, but the Full Cast page lists teachers, classmates, and adult enablers who shaped the cover-up.
Character-driven endings
Relationships and grudges feed the 42 endings. Empathy toward a bully might unlock a confession route; relentless hunting might trigger a hollow victory ending where the sister’s fate stays unknown. Tie character knowledge to Branching Paths and Choices and Consequences before you commit to a trial target.
The demo’s Chapter 1 introduces the core four in depth. Chapters 2–6 previews (under two minutes each in the demo) flash additional faces you will meet in the August 2026 full release.
Themes behind the cast
CineGame Interactive frames Evil School as anti-bullying advocacy wrapped in a revenge thriller. Developers have stated that real incidents can exceed fiction in horror — the cast portrays both cruelty and complicity so players feel why Panqing’s judgment arc exists. Profiles here focus on in-game roles, not real-person speculation.
