One of the originating 'books' in Pixelberry's Choices: Stories You Play series, The Freshman tells the story of a college freshman who finds herself caught between three different potential love interests, a rival Alpha Bitch, a demanding literature professor, and a score of kind and quirky friends and roommates. Like other works by Pixelberry, the game is high on genre cliches, but also remarkably earnest and diverse.The Freshman is told in a visual novel format, with choices allowing for brief branches that allow for different love interest scenes and occasionally lead to slightly different outcomes down the line. It also has a premium currency - the player is granted a certain number of diamonds when starting the app, and is gifted a single jewel at the end of every chapter, with these jewels able to unlock premium options that allow the player to wear nicer outfits (which give small bonuses or scene changes), extra scenes, or whole mini-books. Of course, diamonds can be purchased instantly through Microtransactions.The franchise covers main entries The Freshman: Book 1, The Freshman: Book 2, The Freshman: Book 3 and The Freshman: Book 4 and free bonus books The Freshman: Snowed In and The Freshman: Love Bites, and buyable character-centric The Masquerade (James), The Perfect Date (Kaitlyn) and Luxury Getaway (Chris), all set after the end of book 1. As of March 19, 2020, these books are now free and no longer cost diamonds to play.The sequel novel The Sophomore was released soon after, with Book 1 debuting on July 12, 2017. The third entry of the series, The Junior was released on April 9, 2018. The fourth and final entry, The Senior, was released on September 14, 2018.On December 21, 2018, the final chapter in The Senior was released, concluding the Freshman saga.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: James, prior to his redesign, greatly resembled actor Michael B. Jordan. Tyler has a similar appearance to Harry Shum, Jr. Brandon looks quite a bit like a brunette Ian Gallagher. Sebastian, prior to his redesign, strongly resembled Eddie Redmayne.

Darker and Edgier: While the first books had some mature content, The Junior takes things a bit further, with the plot centering around a vicious conspiracy aimed at terrorizing Emily and her friends, including two pranks that could have killed someone, a faked kidnapping, and an attempt to frame Emily for arson. One character (and possibly two others, depending on player choices) ends up serving a long prison sentence.

Roommate Com

comment
Roommate Com: The first three books of The Freshman show the daily lives of six roommates and the problems they are facing. One of the initial subplots in The Sophomore shows the established the established the gang suffering with their respective assigned roommates: Emily got paired with Rachel, Kaitlyn gets paired with Leila, Zack got Edgar and Chris got Manny. They later move into Vasquez's old house after Gabriela lets them rent it as a fixer upper. The next arc becomes "Living with Becca", as she's still trying to fit in and be less rude towards the gang. In The Junior and The Senior is one of the central subplots is Emily living with just one roommate (her Love Interest if she has one, or Zack if she is single).

The Cameo: Alyssa Griffin, a minor character from Most Wanted, makes a cameo as Sebastian's music guest during the school council campaign. Emily can also choose to throw a yellow snowball at her during the snowball fight. Claire Pierce from Rules of Engagement pops up in book 3 chapter 4 holding up the line at the cafe. The Freshman Book 3 chapter 13 has not only Ryan and Cassandra from Most Wanted as actors for James' movie, but a premium choice that has Emily as an extra for The Crown & the Flame has her meeting Kenna and Dominic's actors and getting an autograph for Tyler and Abbie. Rebecca McKenzie from Most Wanted shows up to fix the van in Book 4 if Emily doesn't have a car repair kit. In The Senior Chapter 6, Samantha Winters from Veil of Secrets is the judge presiding over Becca's mock trial; Veil of Secrets takes place in Massachusetts, providing support for the notion that Hartfeld is in the northeastern United States. Later in the chapter, at a gaming convention, a poster can be seen featuring Dopey Cat from #LoveHacks.

Hidden Heart of Gold: According to Madison, Logan and Darren, Becca is capable of being a good friend when she wants too. Madison in general is very loyal to her and often handwaves her bad attitude with this trope. And Logan recalls that Becca once yelled at his ex-girlfriend after she cheated on him.

Trash of the Titans: Emily's designated roommate is Rachel. Apparently nobody wanted to bunk with her in two years, since her mess is huge. It gets to the point where Emily finds a nest of cockroaches under a pizza box that quickly go inside her pile of dirty laundry. While Rachel is aware that her room fits every available definition of "unsanitary", she brushes it off as "building an immunity to germs and the plague in case of a epidemic". Nobody knows if she's just joking or being serious.

Birds of a Feather: In Book 2, Becca sees a new prospect in Sebastian and the two click immediately because of their shared traits (both are snobby, arrogant and self-absorbed). This goes south near the end of the quarter when Becca admits that Sebastian is too selfish even for Becca herself. Depending on what choices the player makes, Emily can be this with Chris (if she mentions having been a talented multi-sport athlete when she was younger) or James (if she confesses to being a high school valedictorian, Shakespeare nerd, and previous spelling-bee champion).

In Book 2, Becca sees a new prospect in Sebastian and the two click immediately because of their shared traits (both are snobby, arrogant and self-absorbed). This goes south near the end of the quarter when Becca admits that Sebastian is too selfish even for Becca herself.

Shipper on Deck: Apparently, Twombly is willing to rent out an entire floor of a swanky restaurant for you and your date in Game of Love history. The series gives you chances to hook people up. Book 1 has you helping Zack with Brandon and Tyler with either Abbie or Leila. Book 2 allows you to ship Madison with either Logan or Tripp. Book 3 allows you to ship Amara with Darren. Zack has been trying to set up Tyler and Abbie in Book 1 and ropes Emily in to help. Kaitlyn's parents want her to be with Arjun before knowing about Kaitlyn's real preferences. Book 4 chapter 4 allows Emily to help either Zack or Zig hook up with James' friend Teddy. Emily's mother is very gung-ho about her daughter's significant other to the point where she cheerfully reminds Emily to use protection, much to her mortification. In The Sophomore, if you are not dating either James or Kaitlyn, Emily can help pair them with Reyna and Anissa, respectively.

Embarrassing Old Photo: In Chapter 2 of Book 1, Kaitlyn will show a photo of her wearing soldier boots while she was studying in middle school. In Masquerade Ball history, Emily finds one of James in a sailor suit holding a stuffed bunny. In book chapter 16, you can pay diamonds to play Truth or Truth with your friends. Tyler can be asked about his most embarrassing picture on his phone. It's his and Abbie's heads photoshopped onto Kenna and Dom.

But Thou Must!: The story is very linear, with the choice of love interest the only major possible branch. This trope is especially in effect in Book 1, where the storyline heavily depends on the protagonist and Chris having feelings for one another - even if the player chooses at every option to express no such interest. Of course, it's always possible to reject him in the end, however.

Beta Couple: Abbie and Tyler are the only stable couple among the main characters and are the only ones who don't have roommate drama because they decided to move in together for their Sophomore year. At least until mid-book when they have a lot drama. Zack and Brandon, and Tyler and Abbie. If the player makes the right choices, both have a chance to get together at the end of Book 1. Even if the player doesn't choose those options, both couples are together at the beginning of The Freshman Book 2. In The Freshman Book Two, the player can influence Madison to pick Tripp or Logan. In The Freshman Book 3, the player can influence Amara and Darren's relationship.

Sequel Hook
 The Freshman (Visual Novel) / int_6293c185
comment
Sequel Hook: All the books resolve the main conflicts of the season, but the last scene introduces a new plot point waiting to be answered. The Freshman Book 1 ends with Emily discovering Vasquez is dying of cancer. The Freshman Book 2 resolves everyone's personal arcs, but what about Emily's scholarship? Turns out Vasquez gave instructions to give her a full scholarship with the only condition that she completes his book before the year ends. The Freshman Book 3 ends with Yasmin being kicked out by Gabriela after James told her about everything that happened after Emily left Hollywood. The Freshman Book 4 ends with the gang happy to have gone to the Aurora Music Festival together. The Sophomore Book 1 ends with the gang receiving the news that Vasquez's old house had been condemned. The Sophomore Book 2 ends with Emily and Zack witnessing Abbie, Tyler and Emily's love interest (Chris, if she's single) in a serious car accident. The Junior ends with Emily being asked to work for a famous magazine. The Senior ends with the gangs's graduationnote Graduated Kaitlyn appears in America's Most Eligible Book 3..

One of the initial subplots in The Sophomore shows the established the established the gang suffering with their respective assigned roommates: Emily got paired with Rachel, Kaitlyn gets paired with Leila, Zack got Edgar and Chris got Manny. They later move into Vasquez's old house after Gabriela lets them rent it as a fixer upper. The next arc becomes "Living with Becca", as she's still trying to fit in and be less rude towards the gang.

Hello, [Insert Name Here]
 The Freshman (Visual Novel) / int_68913e61
comment
Hello, [Insert Name Here]: The main character is nameable; the default name is "Emily". In The Senior, you can choose the last name. The default is "Day". You can even do the same to Gabriela's newborn son with the default name of "Felix", though it's moot since he'll eventually be given the name Enrique regardless of what you suggest. In The Freshman book 3 chapter 2, you can also do the same for whatever character you pick in the Dungeons & Dragons group, the default name is "Laira". In The Freshman book 4 chapter 2, you get to name a lobster you catch while in Maine. The default name is "Gerald". In The Sophomore book 1, you get to name the Kaitlyn's band. The default name is "TBD" and you can choose the name of James' book in chapter 9, the default is "Crestwood General".

Parlor Games: The roommates play a game of Truth or Truth on their first day together to get to know one another better. Later, when trying to pledge for the sorority, the girls play a proper game of Truth or Dare. Most notably, Becca dares Kaitlyn to kiss the main character... which ends up being not nearly as bad for her as she expected.

Unseen No More: Some characters finally made their first canonical appearance in this book. Starting with Stephen, Emily's father who is first mentioned in The Freshman, Book 1, Chapter 2, Shannon Davenport makes her first appearance in Chapter 6 after being mentioned a few times by her daughter, Becca. The same goes for Barb Powell, Chris' mother, who has already been mentioned on a few occasions.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Hartfeld University is in a town called Northridge. It's said that it's less than two hours away from San Francisco by train and it snows there in winter. However, the gang's road trip in Book 4 begins with Zack meeting Emily and Zig on campus before going to Maine to pick up Chris followed by going to New York to pick up James, then Austin to pick up Kaitlyn, then meeting Tyler and Abbie in San Francisco before finally going to the music festival which is being held at an unspecified location in California; all in all, a very strange route if Hartfeld is located near the West Coast.

Meta Guy: Vasquez is an atypical example, but as he's specifically using the main character's school life as inspiration for his new novel, he often comments about the events of the story as if it were a novel. For example, when the main character tells him about Becca, he responds that she sounds like a perfect villain.

Artistic License – Education: In Book 3, Kaitlyn winds up on academic probation because she missed all her midterms, but she gets to make them up a week before finals. Academic probation is the result of a deficient GPA, which wouldn't get updated in the middle of a term. Plus, Kaitlyn is lucky that her classes, all in different departments, would let her make up an exam so late into the term and coordinate the exams so well.

Big Bad: In The Freshman Book 1 we have Becca who made Emily's life hell and later becomes her friend and possible love interest. In The Freshman Book 2, we have Sebastian Delacroix running for president against Chris for the title of Student Council President, with Becca as an ally. In The Freshman Book 3 gives us Natasha as the leader of Kaitlyn's new Punk band and Yasmin who manipulates James and harassed Emily who discovered her true intentions. In The Sophomore, we have Dorian Delacroix who sent his son to sabotage Vasquez's old house to demolish and build a mall in the place and Manny who is hostile to everyone, especially Zig. In The Junior we have the trio of Alpha Theta Mu, who pretended to be friends with the gang and playing malicious pranks against them.

My God, What Have I Done?: Vasquez's troubled past: when his daughter was in college, she confided in him about her struggles and issues with depression, which he then used to write a novel very obviously about her life. He slowly evidences more regret about this as the story goes on, but it doesn't really kick in until his grandson is born and he realises how much time he's missed spending with her already.

Static Role, Exchangeable Character
 The Freshman (Visual Novel) / int_af6e7d83
comment
Static Role, Exchangeable Character: The major plot points involving Emily and her love interests follow the same general arc throughout the series regardless of who the love interest is, with the story even going out of the way to put in factors that will allow the same sort of conflict to occur regardless of who the character is with (for example, all three love interests having a conflict that pulls them away from Emily in Book 3). In The Junior and The Senior, Zack fills this role if the character is single; it works in The Junior because the conflict has to do with the challenges of living together, but is a lot iffier in The Senior because the issues in that book are relationship-related, and the alternative conflict that the story puts in to fit the friendship with Zack into the same mold (an argument over him moving out without telling Emily) isn't on the same level but elicits the same reaction, which consequently ends up being wildly out of proportion to the actual source of the argument.

Shout-Out
 The Freshman (Visual Novel) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In some scenes, the characters casually talk about The Crown & the Flame. In Book 3, Tyler and Abbie ship Kenna and Dominic from that series with Emily having the option to agree with them or ship Dominic with Rose or Sei. The premium choice in Game of Love allows Emily and her partner to learn new dance moves, like the Bow Tie. Getting all three choices right gets you the achievement of "Bow Ties Are Cool." Book 3 chapter 6 has Hayley Rose's song, "Outlaw," playing from Most Wanted. In Chapter 2, you have premium choices to adopt a dog, cat, or both with your love interest or Zack if you're single. Adopting just the dog, the achievement is "It Pees in the Woods." Adopting just the cat is "Purrfect Match." Adopting both is "Ruined Carpet Diaries." In Chapter 6, you can play Dragon Jest or let Tyler and Abbie do it against a misogynistic gamer. The achievements for it are "Flawless Victory," "Drag Him, Dragon," and "One Life to Live."

The Matchmaker: Kaitlyn immediately elects to pair Emily and Chris in Chapter 2. Zack immediately elects to pair together Tyler and Abbie and ropes Emily in as well. Apart from this, the player can also matchmake Zack himself with his crush Brandon. In The Freshman Book 2, the player can encourage Madison to pick Tripp or Logan. Peter and Grace try to do the same with your daughter Kaitlyn and Arjun, but it backfires. In The Sophomore, the player can influence James and Reyna plus Kaitlyn and Annisa's relationship.

No Antagonist: In The Freshman, Book 4 shows the gang going to the Aurora Music Festival and having a few unexpected things during the road trip, without any antagonistic characters involved. Unlike The Freshmannote which had Becca, and later, Sebastian and Yasmin, The Sophomorenote which had Manny, Natasha, and Dorian Delacroix, and The Juniornote which had Alpha Theta Mu, there's no Big Bad or even a minor antagonist in this book. All of the series' antagonists (both major and minor) have either been redeemednote such as Becca, Sebastian and Natasha or dealt with and written outnote Yasmin, Manny, Dorian and the Terrible Trio from Alpha Theta Mu. Instead, the main conflict in this book is how the characters deal with the future (particularly Emily's parents spliting up in Chapter 10 and the falling out Emily and her roommate have in Chapter 12).
