Honestly speaking, the thematic of your game as portrayied in the review doesn't grab me any more than FATAL.

Well, unlike FATAL (which is disgusting and juvenile in an unfocused and pointless way), Classroom Deathmatch is based on a specific pop-culture genre. Heck, the novel and manga of its primary inspiration, Battle Royale, are available in most chain bookstores here in the US.
It's really unfair to compare it to FATAL - it's no worse than, say, an RPG letting you play in the world of 80's teen slasher films like Halloween, Friday the 13th, or Nightmare on Elm Street. It may not be your bag, and you may prefer not to play in such an RPG, but it's definitely not FATAL-level.

"There is time." The man said. He was smiling at me. I gazed at the black coffin. There was only one thing; I remembered why I was here. My place was within the coffin. I had come from there, and I had come back here so I could return. But the man was sitting on the coffin.
