A New Semester [Remake v0.1] [pheno]

June 13, 2026F95

In your second year of university, a new semester brings fresh excitement and uncertain paths as you begin dating Christine, a charismatic, popular beauty still adjusting to the constant attention from others. While determined rivals aggressively pursue her, you must also wrestle with your own temptations from flirty classmates, seductive faculty, and desires waiting at home.
A New Semester is an ambitious open-world sandbox that blends a heavily anime-inspired romantic comedy narrative with deep RPG gameplay systems. The game aims to seamlessly weave together themes of NTR, Netori, and Harem into one cohesive experience, putting player choice firmly at the center.
Enjoy!

⚠ Important: This is a Systems-Heavy Foundational Update

v0.1 represents a massive amount of work since the demo, but I want to set expectations clearly — this is a true v0.1. The focus has been on making sure all the underlying systems work, so that everything built on top of them is solid. You may find the content-to-wait-time ratio a bit light, and that’s okay. Rough edges, unpolished UI, and unexpected bugs are all part of this territory. DEMO SAVES ARE NOT COMPATIBILE! There is NOTHING to grind right now. Once you finish Chapter 1 it’s basically just Confessly unlocks and random open world events. You can comfortably stop playing after Chapter 1 and Confessly unlocks.
Please report bugs and leave feedback in the F95 Forums or Discord.
There is a lot happening under the hood, and your eyes on this are genuinely essential to making A New Semester everything it has the potential to be.

⚠ About the Early Release

I hit a frustrating bug during the commercial build deployment — one that never surfaced during dev playtesting — which ended up affecting a number of Open World events. Rather than hold the entire release hostage while I track it down, I’ve decided to launch now since all of Chapter 1 and the MSQ are completely playable, and patch the affected Open World content back in as fixes are ready.

Those patches will be free for everyone — I consider them part of the v0.1 package.

Updated Roadmap

Version What’s Coming Access

– v0.1.1 Bug fixes + bugged content patched back in + Android (Free)

– v0.1.2 (if needed) Additional bug fixes + content patches (Free)

– v0.1.3 (if needed) Additional bug fixes + content patches (Free)

– v0.1.5 Major Update — Expanded Open World, side character story progression, new maps (Beach & Nightclub + more), stat progression (Patron Early Access)

– v0.1.6 Bug fixes & improvements (Free)

– v0.2 Major Release — Chapter 2 of the MSQ + new features (Patron Early Access)

Thank you all so much for your patience and support — this one’s been a long time coming. Now go find some bugs for me.

REMAKE DEMO RELEASE

The full patch notes are massive (like, essay-length massive), so here’s the quick TL;DR:

All new art/sprites
Completely overhauled UI systems
Netori playstyle added
Updated character designs
A full custom soundtrack
Rewritten dialogue
Redesigned maps
New and revamped quests
The brand-new Corruption/Purity system (which actually changes scenes!)
FMC affection system
Meaningful choices that matter
A custom anime-style intro (complete with Patreon tier credits!)
Roughly 1 hour of solid gameplay

It covers almost the entire first day of the game and ends just before the open-world portion begins.

Please download it, play through, and let me know what you think! Feedback is incredibly valuable and I’ve genuinely put my heart into this. Enjoy, and thank you so much for your patience and support!

Disclaimer: The game is still HEAVILY work-in-progress. Bugs are to be expected. I’ve play tested extensively but due to so many branches in dialog and scenes I could have missed something.

Developer Notes:

Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time to check out my game! This marks my first try in game development, encompassing everything from animation and coding to the full creative process. While this project is still very early in development, it’s serving as my foundation to learn more sophisticated techniques moving forward. As a longtime member of this community, I’ve noticed that recent games haven’t really aligned with my interests, prompting me to dive in and create something myself. I hope you enjoy everything I’ve learned so far! I’m committed to rolling out updates and new titles as they’re polished and ready— Your feedback is invaluable, and I’ll try to stay engaged and responsive in the community as much as possible!

IMPORTANT: Join my Patreon’s free tier to access exclusive spoilers and updates on upcoming game versions. In full transparency, my goal is to monetize through Patreon, but only once I’m satisfied with the development progress and confident that it delivers a decent quality and value to players. Don’t worry though, free and public versions of updates will always become available, with absolutely no differences in content.

More details to come if, or when, we cross that line. <3

Some early clarification:

Wait!? How the hell does NTR, Netori and Harem all fit together?
