Hello! I still didn't play the game (I'll play, tho. I can't find too much gay-oriented 3D games and when someone recommended me this game, I got hyped!), but I have a question: When you say "hookup scenarios between the guys that won't be in the game", you mean those hookups won't happening in game between these characters or the characters presented in these scenarios aren't avaliable for dating/hookup? I got my eye on Professor Will.
All of the main characters can be hooked up with in the game, although one character needs to be romanced first. You can definitely hook up with Will, though that isn't in the game yet. I think there'd be a riot if I wouldn't let players hook up with him, haha.
However, all the sex scenes in the game will show the player character Connor hooking up with other guys since he's the viewpoint character. On Patreon, I do galleries of the non-Connor main characters hooking up with each other, which aren't scenes you'll see in game, especially since most are fantasy scenarios that wouldn't necessarily make sense story-wise.
So for instance, last month I did a hookup gallery of Matt and Riley, but that won't be something you will see while playing the game itself.
Well, the perks of having a good writing is that players will desire to interact with certain characters and even romancing them. Seeing how people are reacting with Professor Will, you are doing a good writing! I don't doubt in the future we will see him as a romanceable character as well hahahaha!
And thank you for the quick reply! I'm happy to confirm Will's gonna be a hook up in the future!
I really, really enjoyed playing the game so far! I must admit I'm kind of torn between Matt and Marco, they are both too charming 🤭 Def gonna wait excitedly for my next paycheck and become a patreon! Keep up the good work!
First of all: great job on the content released so far! I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it 😀
My Connor is all in with Matt already. Best friends to lovers, you say? I’m sold! 🥰 Dominic and Evan are also so hot together. Their make out session was everything 🥵 Only once Dom feels comfortable enough to explore his sexuality for real, I hope there’s a choice to act as wingman for them 😌
I do have ideas of what guys might end up together if Connor doesn't romance them. I hadn't considered Dominic and Evan, but that's an interesting idea...
I donated a bit, I know It isn't very much, but I love this game and I hope I can donate more in the future ^^, keep the good work, you are doing it amazing.
The game is still early in development, and that's where it ends currently. At the end of the first day of college you currently have two options of how to spend the evening, at Matt's place or the frat party. The third option, hanging out at the club, is the next update coming up.
For those wanting android, you can play via an app in the playstore called JoiPlay, install the app along with JoiPlay Renpy Plugin, extract the zip file, tap the exe file, your device should prompt you to open with JoiPlay. Enjoy!
But can you update this game on JoiPlay? If you know how to do so it's ok if we don't have android build...Its tiring have to replay whole game tho every single update...No hate just asking
I have a question, I did everything, and even enter the game, but I can only see Connor introducing himself after I started the game and when I click to continue I always exit, no matter if I wait.
I'm really loving the game! You did an excellent job. Can you give me some advice on how to get Riley's hook up. I keep finding myself getting stuck. Thanks!
Thank you! I'll put the info for Riley below to avoid spoiling anyone scrolling through.

The furthest you can go with Riley currently is making out at the end of the frat party. Generally, just spend as much time with him as you can. More specifically, do the following:
- Spend the afternoon with him after Will's class
- Proposition him persistently, either during the afternoon or later at the party
- Take a shower before heading to the party, you'll run into Riley in there
- Spend the entire party hanging out with him
- During the confrontation with Victoria, defend him
- After the actor monologues, tell him you want to talk one-on-one instead of being introduced to the actors
For Marco, jack off with him but don't go to his bed - finish in your own bed. That'll unlock three CGs that'll show in those two spots. For Connor, hook up with Leo but choose to sleep in Matt's bed instead of with Leo at the end.
Go to Matt's apartment instead of the frat party. When you're asked to take your shirt off, choose to go home instead. Once you return to your dorm room, that CG will unlock 🙂
It's surprising that it worked before since I've only ever uploaded zip files here. As far as I was aware the files could never be downloaded via the app because it has to be done a certain way that I haven't figured out yet. I'll look into it...
Very weird! Well, I'm glad it was working before, the app does make it pretty easy to download and play. I'll see if I can figure out how to get it working again!
Hello! Following up - I was able to figure out the issue with the Itch app. Somehow I forgot to mark that this had a Windows executable, which is why the app wouldn't download it. It should be fixed now 🙂
Sure, it's actually just one CG that's repeated in their galleries since all three are in it. During orientation, you need to express attraction to all three guys. When you meet Asher, select "That look of contemplation is kind of hot." When NC17 & Mafia are introduced, select "Fuck, they both can get it!" Once you've done that, skip ahead to the jerkoff sequence after Connor & Marco takes a shower. Select "Those band guys seem like they can get freaky..." and then "There's no way three hot bandmates haven't fucked..." That'll unlock the CG 🙂
Okay I-...what? I tried this out on a whim, NOT expecting the writing to be this good. I actually care about the characters and story arcs, and not just for sexy reasons? How'd you do that? XD
Also, I love pretty much all the boys so far, but lord have mercy! Alex has got my brain doing all sorts of flips. A smug, cocky gamer twink who, despite all his confidence and success, is actually a pretty stand up guy? Throw on top of that being possibly a verse switch and DEFINITELY a voyeur? My horny man brain...! Can't wait to spend more time with his perfectness!
Thank you! I am actually looking into adding music for the club update, but unfortunately most of the places where I'd get music don't allow their music in adult games. I'm looking into other places but haven't found any music I like yet. But I'm working on it for sure 🙂
Hi, i love the game. Just a question. Anyone knows how to unlock the first cg in the four row for Marco? I replayed but i cant seem to pick it. Thanks in advance.
Head to Matt's apartment instead of the frat party, then choose to head home early when they ask you to take your shirt off. That CG pops up when you get back to your dorm room 🙂
Hang out with Marco in the afternoon after Will's class, then choose to go to the frat party with Marco when you get to that choice. Marco will say he's taking a shower first - if you join him, you'll get that CG.
Omg, I love this update! I've been on Team Matt since the get-go and I still feel like he's endgame, but... Owen and Riley are winning me over right now!
Can't wait for the rest of the guys, especially Asher and Isaiah, as well as Connor's story fleshing out more. This is truly one of my fave VNs!!! 💕
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And also glad some of the other guys are winning you over. I want to make the endgame romance choice difficult for you guys 😉
Thank you for the reminder about the app, I'll look into how to make the game downloadable through it. Regarding no sound, the game is still early in development and does not have sound or music added yet. So that's normal and nothing to worry about.
this is such a good game, love how many options we have and I enjoy that although it's still very sexual we also have some history with the characters. Leo is my favorite so far but I was wondering, all the men will be vers and you will be able to choose or are they going to have their preferences?
Hello! Yes, it's normal. The game doesn't have sound or music added yet. I'm focusing on the writing & art at this point in development, but I do plan to add music & sound before too long.
I haven't even gotten through all the recent update yet but I have to say again how great the writing is. I could gush about this game for hours. Have you ever thought of making a discord because I'd love to talk to others about the characters and routes.
Thank you, that's so nice to read! And I've thought of making a Discord for sure, I'm just a little wary of needing to moderate it in addition to everything else I'm doing solo. I also floated the idea of a server on Patreon and didn't really get a response. But if enough people are interested and promise to be nice, I might go ahead and do one, haha
I think having a discord is a really interesting idea to talk with everyone about the game. I really like where this is going and would definitely join the discord so I can talk all about my love for the characters and the game.
The game is still being developed, so the full game won't be done for awhile. The most current free version is what's linked here on itch.io, and the most recent early access version is available on Patreon: patreon.com/FreshmenVN
how many guys can you hookup with in the current version? I'm assuming only leo since he's the only one with lots of pics in the gallery but is there more? also, this game is perfect and congratulate the dev on making it.
In the current public release, the only hookup option is Leo. The next release will be the frat party, which will add two more hookup options. The release after that will be the club, which will add three more.
I'm just about done with the frat party update, so it'll go into early access pretty soon. I'm creating the hookup CGs right now, and there are a lot to make 🙂 I put a preview of one of the CGs on Twitter—you can probably guess who one of the hookups is even with it being cropped & censored...
Not yet, but I started writing an official CG unlock & relationship guide to coincide with the next release. I don't know if anyone else has already created an unofficial guide.
I will do an Android version at some point, but I don't know when. I think there are either emulators or sites that already made an Android version if you look, though.
Hi Danny! I’m not a native English speaker but I’d love to leave a comment: I love this game!
The narratives, the characters, the CGs, and the multiple branches are amazing! I was really surprised by those differences when I replayed the “Matt and Leo’s apartment” part. Those thoughts when Conner wants more with Matt so he refused Leo are so cute. I can see the afterward relationships are going to be different and will be huge amount of works for you, so wish you the best and I’m really excited to see those updates! Those effort you put in creating characters and dialogues makes them really attractive. So far I love Matt the most. Looking at the public images where Matt put his hands and mouth on Conner and awwww, I just can’t wait to explore their story lines! Leo is my second favorite but I’m pretty sure when “frat party” part releases there might be someone else.
And I’m wondering if you have other works (novels, maybe?), because I really love your writing, your characters, and desperately want to see more. Anyway really amazing game and I’m happy to be here watching this game grow bigger and better.
Thank you so much! Creating this game does require a huge amount of work, but it's very much worth it when I receive comments like yours. I plan to keep making the game bigger and better 🙂
I do have many other works published, but since they're not in the adult realm, I need to keep my actual identity secret to avoid any conflicts. So I won't be able to share titles for other things I've written. But hopefully I can continue to create new content for Freshmen on a regular enough schedule that you won't need to wait too long for more!
The Matt route is gonna be interesting for sure. Matt has personal motivations and unresolved feelings that will lead to him making choices that I don't think you guys as players will expect. But there is absolutely potential for a sensual, emotional connection to develop if you work through that...
Extremely ambitious with a lot of unique and interesting characters and routes. While I'm excited to see how fleshed out everything gets, I also don't envy you for the immense task you've given yourself lol. Good luck!

You bet! And thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoy the writing 🙂
I really, really enjoyed playing the game so far! I must admit I'm kind of torn between Matt and Marco, they are both too charming 🤭 Def gonna wait excitedly for my next paycheck and become a patreon! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!

I’m very much looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us. All the best! 😊
I donated a bit, I know It isn't very much, but I love this game and I hope I can donate more in the future ^^, keep the good work, you are doing it amazing.
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate any support I'm given - even just playing the game is a great way to support it 🙂
i need day 2 rn
Haha, glad to know you're looking forward to it 🙂
I downloaded latest version of the game, but action stops on first day of college with phrase "to be continued"
The game is still early in development, and that's where it ends currently. At the end of the first day of college you currently have two options of how to spend the evening, at Matt's place or the frat party. The third option, hanging out at the club, is the next update coming up.

But can you update this game on JoiPlay? If you know how to do so it's ok if we don't have android build...Its tiring have to replay whole game tho every single update...No hate just asking
Your saves are located in the extracted game folder transfer them to the updated game folder after you extract the updated download.
where can i install ren'py plugin?
Search for JoiPlay Renpy Plugin on Playstore you install from there 😉
I have a question, I did everything, and even enter the game, but I can only see Connor introducing himself after I started the game and when I click to continue I always exit, no matter if I wait.
What program do you use to create the characters and backgrounds? If it's not bothersome... <3
Not bothersome at all 🙂 I use Daz 3D.
Thank you very much! <3
I'm really loving the game! You did an excellent job. Can you give me some advice on how to get Riley's hook up. I keep finding myself getting stuck. Thanks!

how to unlock marco's cg no. 21 &22 and connor's cg no. 13?
For Marco, jack off with him but don't go to his bed - finish in your own bed. That'll unlock three CGs that'll show in those two spots. For Connor, hook up with Leo but choose to sleep in Matt's bed instead of with Leo at the end.
Thanks
make the android version please
wow this game was absolutely great!! nice work!!
you should definitely have a discord server!!
Thank you so much 🙂 I am considering a Discord and will post it here if/when I make one.
How can I unlock Marco's 16th CG? (the one after the shower with him to go to the party)
Go to Matt's apartment instead of the frat party. When you're asked to take your shirt off, choose to go home instead. Once you return to your dorm room, that CG will unlock 🙂
Thank you so much!
Can't wait for the next update :)
You're welcome 🙂
Can you help me i want to unlock Riley's 6th CG?Thx. BTW amazing game i love it 😍
I literally stuck there for 3 hours.
I'm glad you're loving the game 🙂 For that CG (1st on the 2nd row), you'll need to hang out with Riley after Will's class. After Will's class, select:
Play through the sequence after that last choice and it'll unlock.
It's surprising that it worked before since I've only ever uploaded zip files here. As far as I was aware the files could never be downloaded via the app because it has to be done a certain way that I haven't figured out yet. I'll look into it...

i want to download it but i cant im on android
There isn't currently an Android version of the game. Right now it's just for desktop PCs and Macs.
can you help me unlock the 3rd CG of Asher? Also the 3rd CG of Mafia and NC17? Thanks
Sure, it's actually just one CG that's repeated in their galleries since all three are in it. During orientation, you need to express attraction to all three guys. When you meet Asher, select "That look of contemplation is kind of hot." When NC17 & Mafia are introduced, select "Fuck, they both can get it!"

Select "Those band guys seem like they can get freaky..." and then "There's no way three hot bandmates haven't fucked..." That'll unlock the CG 🙂
oh thanks that was hard to unlock
Okay I-...what? I tried this out on a whim, NOT expecting the writing to be this good. I actually care about the characters and story arcs, and not just for sexy reasons? How'd you do that? XD
Also, I love pretty much all the boys so far, but lord have mercy! Alex has got my brain doing all sorts of flips.

Bless you for making such a damn good game. T///T
Wow, thank you for all the kind words! I'm so glad you've been enjoying it.
The next update will have a whole lot of Alex content, so you won't need to wait too much longer to get some more cocky gamer twink action 🙂
such a great game, deserves more attention! maybe add some bg music right now since voice lines havent been added in yet? <3
Thank you! I am actually looking into adding music for the club update, but unfortunately most of the places where I'd get music don't allow their music in adult games. I'm looking into other places but haven't found any music I like yet. But I'm working on it for sure 🙂
Awh okay, got it! Good luck on finding some music!! <3

Head to Matt's apartment instead of the frat party, then choose to head home early when they ask you to take your shirt off. That CG pops up when you get back to your dorm room 🙂
I seem to be missing the last Marco CG on the third row... any pointers on how to unlock?
Hang out with Marco in the afternoon after Will's class, then choose to go to the frat party with Marco when you get to that choice. Marco will say he's taking a shower first - if you join him, you'll get that CG.
Brilliant... thank you... all CGs unlocked ;)
This was a fantastic update... thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for what comes next!
Thank you!
ok question, julian isnt a bottom right?
He's verse, so you can choose what position you want him to take if you get an opportunity to ask.
Omg, I love this update! I've been on Team Matt since the get-go and I still feel like he's endgame, but... Owen and Riley are winning me over right now!
Can't wait for the rest of the guys, especially Asher and Isaiah, as well as Connor's story fleshing out more. This is truly one of my fave VNs!!! 💕

does not dl via itch ap, and when installed, has no sound
Thank you for the reminder about the app, I'll look into how to make the game downloadable through it. Regarding no sound, the game is still early in development and does not have sound or music added yet. So that's normal and nothing to worry about.
ahh. ok then no worries about the sound. whew! still liking the game mate.
Sounds like the story is relatable... to some extent
this is such a good game, love how many options we have and I enjoy that although it's still very sexual we also have some history with the characters. Leo is my favorite so far but I was wondering, all the men will be vers and you will be able to choose or are they going to have their preferences?
They do all have their own preferences, but for all but 2 guys, those preferences include being verse. So you'll be able to choose!
And even with the two who have a strict position, you'll be able to do some top/bottom-adjacent stuff with 🙂
Great game. I'm looking forward to play the rest of it :)
Thank you! Only a few days until the next part is out 🙂
Awesome! :D
Hi
I have a question when I play this game
I can't hear any sounds on my Mac
Even If it's a shower scene, there's no sound Is it normal ?
I checked options beforehand but it didn't work
Thanks
Hello! Yes, it's normal. The game doesn't have sound or music added yet. I'm focusing on the writing & art at this point in development, but I do plan to add music & sound before too long.

Hello, I would like to have a link for the complete game..where to find it?
The game is still being developed, so the full game won't be done for awhile. The most current free version is what's linked here on itch.io, and the most recent early access version is available on Patreon: patreon.com/FreshmenVN
I really love this game, one of my favorites.
Thank you!
do you mind telling me what you use to create your visual novels? cause i want to create my own but can't figure it out
Sure, I use Daz 3D to make the art and Ren'Py to create the game itself.
Thank you!!
how many guys can you hookup with in the current version? I'm assuming only leo since he's the only one with lots of pics in the gallery but is there more? also, this game is perfect and congratulate the dev on making it.

is there a guide out for this game to help navigate through potentionel favorite love intrests ?
Not yet, but I started writing an official CG unlock & relationship guide to coincide with the next release. I don't know if anyone else has already created an unofficial guide.
i just think with so many charecters it's a good idea to have so was curious thanks for the reply and i'm looking forward to the updates :)
I've been working on one for a while. Not sure if it'll be useful to you, though. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o6VFK12N3ZITRa6Ln3ZJA0IBT5E6vHG2QCVBebPKTBI/edit?usp=sharing
This is super impressive and definitely useful!
Thank you sooo much for this!!!😊
No prob, it was fun to make. 😄
What program is used to create the characters? etc. Thinking of making something of my own with my hubby xD
I use Daz 3D to make the characters and do the 3D renders, then I post-process the images in GIMP. Programming is done using Ren'Py :)
Awesome Thank you for the info! Great game too btw ;)
You're welcome, and thank you!
will there be an android version?
I will do an Android version at some point, but I don't know when. I think there are either emulators or sites that already made an Android version if you look, though.

Hi, I came across this game and I have to say that it's absolutely amazing.
The characters are all handsome and hot, but Matt is one the best character I've ever seen. Beautiful job, I love him ❤
I hope to see an even more different relationship with Matt, maybe something sensual, something about the emotions and building attraction.
Please, support this awesome developer.
Thank you for the great job again. Take good care of you 😊
Thank you so much!
The Matt route is gonna be interesting for sure. Matt has personal motivations and unresolved feelings that will lead to him making choices that I don't think you guys as players will expect.

Thank you! It's definitely a big task, but I think I'm up to it 🙂
Love the game so much!!! Gl with the updates :)
So glad to hear it!
