Class of 09

Class of ’09 captures a moment in digital culture most of us didn’t realize we were living through. You’re not just playing a teen in 2009—you’re living every awkward, cringey, deeply real decision they made in a world shaped by early social media, pirated music, and flip phones held together by stickers and static.

This is a narrative-driven game that feels like browsing your own teenage memories. It’s about AIM chats at midnight, online drama that felt like the end of the world, and figuring out who you are in a time when everyone was pretending to be someone else on the internet.

Conversations That Actually Matter

Gameplay unfolds through text, voice clips, chatroom threads, and increasingly complicated choices that reflect the messy reality of being a teenager in the digital age. Who you talk to, how you respond, and what you post shapes your social standing, friendships, and mental state. There are no clear “right” answers—only the ones you have to live with.

It’s the rare game that makes you feel the impact of a message left on read or a status update posted too late. Every small action ripples out, and the drama? It’s incredibly real, not because it’s huge, but because it’s intimate.

Not Nostalgia—Reconstruction

Class of ’09 doesn’t romanticize the past. It shows it as it was: messy, confusing, sometimes cruel. The characters are flawed, the humor sharp, and the tone unfiltered. The art style leans into retro UI and chunky pixels, making every menu and chat window feel like something that really existed—even if it never quite did.

The writing is brutally honest and sometimes uncomfortable in its accuracy. But that’s the beauty of it: it doesn’t let you look back with rose-colored glasses. It makes you live it all over again—with all the tension and wonder that came with it.

A Story About Who You Were—and Who You Could’ve Been

Class of ’09 is more than a throwback. It’s a deeply personal, almost voyeuristic experience that explores identity, growing up, and the internet’s quiet ability to change us. It will make you laugh, cringe, reflect, and maybe even reconnect with a part of yourself you forgot existed.
