  This system makes each decision meaningful, encouraging replay to experience various outcomes and character perspectives.

Themes and Structure

Class Of 09 focuses on realistic school life, presenting challenges such as peer pressure, self-image, and communication. The tone alternates between casual humor and serious moments, depending on player choices. The narrative structure is divided into days, each representing a step toward major events such as exams, social gatherings, or turning points in friendships. Dialogue choices influence story branches and how characters perceive the protagonist over time. This gradual change provides a sense of progression without relying on external scoring systems.

Visual and Audio Presentation

The game uses 2D character portraits and illustrated backgrounds to represent different school settings. Each conversation is presented through text boxes with character expressions changing according to dialogue flow. Background music adapts to the emotional tone of each scene, while sound effects simulate the atmosphere of a school environment. The interface is minimal, focusing on text clarity and player choice navigation. The presentation supports immersion through consistent visual cues rather than complex effects.
