Earnest comedy, social accuracy, and late 2000's aesthetic await you in Class of '09!

« Ce jeu a de bonnes répliques, mais est trop court. Toutes les fins se ressemblent et n'apportent pas grand chose par rapport à la première que l'on fait. Je pense qu'il vaut mieux regarder des extraits du jeu sur tiktok que de l'acheter. »
