fun game, games nowadays r too sensitive, this ones a classic, dark humor at its finest.

It's really hard to fully parse how I felt about Class of '09. On one hand, it does a surprisingly nuanced job of telling a story about what it's like to be the "hot popular girl" and being harassed by every guy under the sun, nearly all of which poor Nicole wants nothing to do with. On the other hand, Nicole is(by her own declaration) a sociopath who isn't above exploiting it and every disaster she encounters to the fullest potential, for better or for(far more likely) worse.

The other thing is, it's often hard to tell if Class of '09 wants to be a genuinely immersive visual novel on its own merits, or it exists just to send up the genre and be a meta narrative on visual novels, a la Doki Doki Literature Club. Unlike Doki Doki Literature Club, Class of '09 manages to spin an engrossing story all its own, thanks in large part to its colorful cast of characters. Yes, they're often all awful people, especially the adults, but that just makes watching the sparks(and explosions) all the more fascinating.

The production side of the game is fine. The art is colorful and expressive, but some of the sprites are clearly just lazy palette flips when they move around(since text is clearly mirrored), though it's a minor nitpick. There's very little music, but I enjoyed the mellow title track.

Apart from it being unclear whether this is meant to exist as a parody or narrative visual novel, my only other nitpick is with grammar. A lot of sentences have run-on text without appropriate commas or periods, though sometimes it seems to fit the characters and their rapid-fire delivery, so it's not that bad here, like it usually would be. I have yet to play the sequels, which I hear are a mixed bag, putting it lightly, but just in a vacuum, Class of '09 was a wild experience, and Nicole definitely makes for one of the most memorable female protagonists in a visual novel ever.

The irony is, and I think she'd agree, is that she did it without really trying.

Honestly one of my favourite games, the dialogue and story lines are so funny. All the characters are terrible people, but at the same time you root for them. Though some topics are quite heavy.

Overall: engaging and hilarious

watched as jeffery was killed 10/10

Definitely not your average visual novel.

It's dark, funny, and cynical in all the right places.

Good sociopath fun and a grain of dark comedy here and there. Nicole is someone I sometimes wish to be

This is good :D

Reminded me to get high

Worth the money. 4 hours of entertainment, it was very relatable because everything that happened in the game happened to me as well.
Love it 😍

This game not only provides a good time for just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around in a high school setting, but also quite prevalent social commentary about issues that still plague our society today, definitely worth a play by anyone with a couple of hours to spare
