Class of '09
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!

“THE LINES ARE JUST SOME KINDA OF PIECE OF ART GOT 2 ENDINGS OUT 15, one day i will complete the rest”
“Easily the most depressing game I´ve played in ages. Not just bc of the suicide etc. endings but bc it reminds me of how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the modern world is. And how ♥♥♥♥ high school was. Genuine prison. Also gave me throwbacks…”
“it's a fun little edgy visual novel nostalgia piece. I was barely sentient in 2009 so i cannot comment upon it's accuracy. but it certainly makes me yearn. also. I would let Nicole enslave me. like, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, wow.”

“A rejection sim? Yeah, oddly enough it works. I gotta say I would not expect someone to make a rejection sim, it seemed odd at first but I ended up enjoying the dark humor more than I thought I would. At times it felt…”

“I played Class of ’09 and OMG I LOVE THIS GAME, it grabs you fast and does not slow down, every scene moves with sharp dialogue and no filler, Nicole runs the entire experience with blunt lines, fast reactions, and zero…”
“Sharp humour and a solid number of options to explore, combined with good, snappy voice acting (especially Nicole and Jecka) make the game an enjoyable, memorable experience. The majority of jokes are well-delivered and…”

“I saw some clips and it seemed really funny but honestly playing it I just felt bad for Nicole. Im sure a lot of folks would love this game but for me it was a depressing expirience. Seeing someone in such a terrible…”
“Not one for visual novel fans. It is an edgy parody, nothing really of substance to make it worth your time. It is tedious to get different routes, with a lot of repeated scenes in each. None of the characters have much…”
“Edginess for the sake of edginess, not even the fun kind.”

“Love this game! gets a little repetitive after a while tho... 4.5 stars.”
“Extremely funny game. It can be a chore sometimes to try and find the path to get all 15 endings, but it always ends up feel like it was worth it. A lot of really good characters and some impressively dark and grim…”

— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“if you havent played this game before, youve probably seen out of context clips of it, which makes it seem like an incredibly crazy game. anyway it is an incredibly crazy game and context makes most scenes worse”
