Class of ’09 is a unique satirical visual novel designed to turn the familiar stereotypes of the dating game genre—anime visual novel on their head. Instead of a familiar romantic story with a male lead that many girls love, the game takes you on a journey full of irony, humor and chaos.

In the game, you will follow Nicole, a female student with a thorny, cold personality who often manipulates every situation. The story is told in a dark comedy tone, with sharp dialogue and many unexpected situations, full of the spirit of parody and innovation.

The game's setting is an American high school in the 2000s, fully recreating typical details such as Sidekick phones, My Chemical Romance music, and rebellious teen culture.
