Class of '09 is a 2021 visual novel developed by SBN3 for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Android. The game is advertised as an "anti-visual novel" and a "rejection sim," with a plot that places the player in the role of Nicole, a popular high school girl who can taunt and manipulate her family, fellow students, and teachers.[1]The game contains mature subject matter including numerous references to sexual assault, self-harm, sociopathy, political extremism, and drug abuse, although a disclaimer in the game's options menu specifies that none of these portrayals are endorsements.[2]
Gameplay[edit]
Class of '09 is a visual novel made with Renpy with branching story paths and alternate endings. Gameplay consists of dialogue between characters that plays out in real time, with players having the option to make decisions on how to direct these conversations that affect the story. Most of the decisions involve whether Nicole should try to manipulate other people or let them manipulate her. Every line of dialogue is accompanied by voice acting; the cast includes Kayli Mills, Marissa Lenti, and Kira Buckland, and Nicole is voiced by Elsie Lovelock.[3] An early PC build of the game included a "breadcrumbs" feature which left text files on the player's computer after reaching specific endings.[4] This feature was later removed in an update that fixed cutscene crashing issues,[5] but the text files are still available in the game's files.
Plot[edit]
Class of '09 takes place in America between the years 2007 and 2009. It features several references to 2000's American pop culture, including pop-punk, Myspace, and the music of Vitamin C and Soulja Boy. The story of the game follows Nicole, a high school girl whose family had to move several times in her childhood. After Nicole's father commits suicide and blames her in his suicide note, she decides to give up on living a normal well-adjusted life and take advantage of her sociopathy and youthful attractiveness to manipulate others around her for her own amusement. The game's creator SBN3 stated that "every personality and scenario the player can explore is based on real life experiences and encounters."[6]
In one scenario, Nicole can steal pain medication from a jock who got injured playing lacrosse. Another scenario involves Nicole's P.E. teacher sexually propositioning her; she can attempt to extort money and drugs from him, but there's a possibility of an ending where Nicole is sexually assaulted and murdered. When Nicole discovers that her photography teacher is a white nationalist attempting to start a terrorist cell in the school, she can choose to join them and go to jail or report them to the Nation of Islam. There are fifteen possible endings the player can reach in Class of '09.[7] Many of the game's endings involve Nicole getting assaulted, murdered, addicted to drugs, or incarcerated, but Nicole's ability to manipulate others for her own ends can result in better endings, such as becoming the valedictorian of her school or making a lot of money and moving to Los Angeles.
Reception[edit]
On the Steam marketplace, Class of '09 has over 100 user reviews with an average rating of "Very Positive."[8] On the Google Play Store, the game has a 5-star rating with 9 user reviews.[9] Game reviewers praised the writing and voice acting but panned the simplistic visuals and high price for the PC version.[10][11]

The sound design of the game might just actually be the best part... If the game was offered for free or came with a price tag of 99 cents, we could still mildly suggest it.
