Class of '09 is a comedic American video game series consisting of three visual novels and a puzzle video game. The series was developed and written by Max "SBN3" Field, who also voices several of the male characters, and published by Wrath Club for personal computers. Field has marketed the first installment as an "anti-visual novel", a "rejection sim", and an "interactive sitcom". The visual novels follow high school students Nicole and Jecka, who quickly become friends, collaborating on various unethical schemes or attempts to bully, manipulate, and undermine their peers. Both characters live in a fictionalized version of Springfield, Virginia and regularly travel to the surrounding Washington metropolitan area. The first three installments in the series are set between the fall of 2007 and the Summer of 2009.
