Class of ’09: The Flip-Side is now available as the final installment in the Class of ’09 trilogy.
The game focuses on Jecka, who is Nicole’s best friend and the central character in this new chapter.
SBN3 has released the third and concluding part of its popular rejection sim series, Class of ‘09: The Flip Side, on Steam. Building on the success of the first two games, which sold over 250,000 copies, The Flip Side invites players to immerse themselves in the drama-filled world of a late 2000s American high school.
Playing as Nicole’s best friend Jecka, gamers will navigate the toxic teenage experience of the late 2000s in Class of ‘09: The Flip Side. Avoid predatory teachers, outwit overly dramatic classmates, and stir up chaos in this humorously irreverent journey back to high school.
Featuring five distinct storylines, extensive dialogue, and multiple endings, The Flip Side offers a socially biting yet nostalgic experience that promises hours of entertainment. The game’s non-linear narrative allows players to dive straight into the high school shenanigans without prior knowledge of the first two titles. Completionists will be rewarded for finishing all five chapters in Class of ‘09: The Flip Side.
Max Field, the founder of SBN3, remarked: “Class of ‘09 provides a refreshingly accurate portrayal of American high school life, unlike the exaggerated depictions in John Hughes movies that may not resonate with today’s youth.”
Class of ‘09 is a voice-acted visual novel with a sitcom-like feel. The series boasts top-notch voice performances by renowned actors such as Kayli Mills (Genshin Impact, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Persona 3 Reload, River City Girls), Elsie Lovelock (Baldur’s Gate 3, SMITE, My Time At Portia), and Kira Buckland (Genshin Impact, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Tekken 8, Demon Slayer). Earlier this year, Elsie received a One Voice Award for her outstanding portrayal of Nicole in Class of ‘09.
