Class of '09
released on Jun 10, 2021
This is the anti-visual novel. Instead of playing as some guy magically able to score with beautiful anime girls, YOU play the anime girl and create mass chaos in the lives of your potential "suitors". Earnest comedy, social accuracy, and late 2000's aesthetic await you in Class of '09!

Really fucking funny for the first couple of routes. I eventually got incredibly bored because I was listening to the same dialogue over and over again trying to spot differences to trigger a different route. I'm glad it's seeing success but this version of the game would have benefitted from a better way to track your endings.
Es extrañamente atrapante este juego, ni siquiera por el tema de jaja chiste racista jaja chiste clasista... Es en serio, me siento mal por la protagonista, le compadezco y siento pena por ella... Realmente quiero que esté bien, me siento mal por hacerla tomar malas decisiones y me siento peor por ver sus desenlaces... Soy peor que Nicole por hacerla recorrer ese camino... Siempre pudimos decir la verdad o actuar responsablemente, la misma protagonista le tardó entenderlo y nosotros lo entendemos con ella...
boring af
Weirdly real. Played while high and it was the best experience
I expected something else...
It was an enjoyable experience. There isn't anything deep or interesting about Class of '09. The characters are mostly surface-level, the story so absurd that it can't deliver any meaningful commentary, and the presentation screams low budget indie title.
But for a few hours, I managed to enjoy my time. The comedy sure isn't sophisticated or anything but its crude and over-the-top nature gave it a pretty strong impact that never really let up. As the game constantly switches between cringe, teenage drama, and extremist politics it can be hard to look away. There's always something happening that keeps the experience fresh and the humor engaging. Sure, there might not be anything deeper than that but I doubt the game was trying to do that anyway.
So yeah.... Class of '09 was a fun time. It's pulpy, crude, and entertaining as long as that's the kind of humor you find enjoyable. And as long as you're not going in expecting anything greater than that (And god only knows why you would) you'll probably get enough out of the experience to justify the time spent on it.
