This game is a bit difficult if you don't read Japanese... To get a higher percentage, you have to find a "super drink" in the medicine cabinet in the nurse's office (the one with the skeleton). Also, if you look out the window in the hall, it'll give you another option to go to the courtyard. Click on the tree and you'll find a note. Click on the tree again and you'll find a key for the other locker in the locker room where you will find shoes that are supposed to help you win.
I know there's a uniform that's supposed to help you win somewhere as well, but I didn't find it, I finished with 70% only (>_<)

I'll only roughly translate the parts that get the story moving...
(This contains advertising from Acuvue contact lens, so you'll see it quite a bit, and the narrator says things like 'Oh I see, that's how to make wearing lens as easy as 123' and blah.)
In case you were wondering why the game started out blurry, that guy was talking about his first sports match against rival school Monsoon High, and he neglected putting on contact lenses. The competitor team had someone lock him in to prevent his team from winning, therefore the first step would be to get the contact lenses, which is usually in plain sight.
Then his second concern was to put on the uniform, because if you're going to be locked in, you wouldn't want to escape and be unable to participate in the game without proper wear..
Guy realises his important things have been locked.. Where could the lock be? Anyway, it's better to get out of the locked room first...
A spare uniform is found, but it's dirty. It should be clean.
Hero goes to the door to inspect the lock... It's activated using a password; it must be in the room!
After exploring for a bit, he remembers that the acuvue posters might be a very likely clue to the password! He remembers the line that goes something about the contact lens containing high moisture percentage... what comes next? (The part where people think it's OOOOO. That's a hint, not password) Rushing to the poster again, he carefully takes note of what the poster lady tells him... that 'the contact lens is made of extremely -soft- material... ('soft' in japanese 'Yawarakai'「やわらかい」!
And it works! Out bursts hero, all eager and upbeat. Where should he head to?

Stepping into the room, the sunlight is really bright. Will it hurt the eyes? (Time for some acuvue ad!)
To the left is a poster that describes how acuvue prevents that from happening! Ah, so that's how it protects the eyes from harmful UV sunlight rays!
The bed. Oh... How tired.. But hero can't do this! He can't sleep on a escape mission!
Guy checks out his eyesight against the symbol chart. Ooh, it's clear! Oh. There's something... Paper torn into many pieces? Could it be that the password to this safe be on that paper?
After putting them together, the answers to all his problems are as clear as day: Hydra Clear (Contacts). Yatta! That's the password! Will that be the end of it all?
Rushing to open the locker and retrieving the uniform, it's now time to rush to the match!
Yes! Made it in time! Time to run right in...
"Stop! Who are you?"
"It's me! Me! Lemme in!"
"No trespassers allowed. If you can't say the password, you can't come in!"
Aw shucks. Could the password hint be somewhere around the gym that he can feed to the senior on guard?
He checks out the board. More acuvue info. The bench seems tempting... No no, he can't rest at a time like this! Eh.. is there something that is on the bench?
Dekita! There's a hint on that puzzle hero just solved! ... "Something that the eye needs..."
A re? Hero seems to have read it somewhere... hmm. Checks out the board again. "Oxygen is needed in the eye!" shouts the poster.
(Oxygen in Japanese is 酸素) pronounced as 'Sanso'.
Excited, he rushes to the door. What's the password?
Wooh! Hero makes it in time! There's still time to make a difference! There's 1 min left!
Oh! Foul! Adburns? (it's adobansu, no idea what the school is called, anyway, it's hero's school)school gets a free throw!
Oh? Newly entered member?
"That crap ass can't make it! I'm sure of that" hollers the enemy team.
"I'll I'll do it! Free throw! I can see very clearly (acuvue ...)
[Then you have to do a throw, which I failed, cos I was stunned] and a bunch of words I was too lazy to translate. It ended with 30% success. There might be a better way out, since I merely took the fastest way I knew out.

Nice advertising idea, but.... horrible application!...
Usually, I tend to give a chance to kids/persons who are programming games in order to amuse us and -why not- educate us....
But, I am usually really strict when I see such an "amateur" application from professionals....
To be honest, I droped the game without finishing it, because it's unbelievable to make such a promotional effort and "forget" to include the English language..... Especially when you got kids and so-called amateurs who are thinking in their implementation a "detail' like that! It really pissed me off!
I am Greek, but when I write/create an application that will be published on the internet, I include the English language as well.... Even if my english are not good enough, at least I try to make sense.....
So, thumbs down for this application, even though the graphics made an impression on me.... :(((
If you want to more escaping fun, try Escape the Museum 2 game.
Unfortunately, language is a problem for me in this game and I can't get the combination to the lock.
Anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
