Yuri University

A sandbox visual novel about an inexperienced girl exploring her newfound lesbian side by experimenting with friends.

Welcome to Chekkin Games!

I started making an adult visual novel in February of 2021, born out of a frustration at the lack of female protagonist games with a focus on lesbian content. So I figured, why not make one myself!

Yuri University

Yuri University is my first visual novel to come from this endeavour. It is a sandbox, stat-managing style VN, with 5 main girls for you to get to know however you'd like, plus several side characters that you can seek out or encounter through random events.

You take the character of a young woman coming to university with her best friend. Your character, whose name you can choose, has never had a relationship before, having never been interested in boys. When she meets her new uni house mates, they surprise her with their openness and sex-positivity, and our heroine quickly realises for the first time that she's attracted to girls.

But having taken so long to realise this, she's self-conscious about her lack of experience. Fortunately, she's in a house filled with girls who seem to be open to some casual experimenting!

Guide your character through these blossoming friendships, deciding how you spend each day. Don't forget about your studies - this is a university too!

Main characters

Your best friend for a long time, your BFF (name customisable) has come to the same uni has you. Like you, she thinks she's straight. You quickly realise you're gay, but will she realise a new truth about herself too?

The first girl from your new house you meet, Ezri makes quite the first impression. Her provocative outfit stirs a reaction in you, but it's her openness and accepting nature that helps you become comfortable with yourself.

A bubbly and happy physics student, Hannah is a fun and chatty character. She can be a bit ditzy, constantly unaware that she's showing her underwear. She also has a bit of a naughty side to her that she's eager to share with the right person.

A straight-talking, open art student, Ashley is always up for a bit of fun with friends. She may not really know what she wants from life yet, but for now she's happy to just have a bit of fun.

Quiet and reserved, Scarlett is the other art student in the house. Don't let her initial quietness fool you - once she's gotten to know you a little, she's very keen to make friends. Although she's always known she's gay, she's never been with anyone - will you be the one to change that?

Gameplay

Yuri university is a sandbox visual novel with stat management. Each day, you decide what location you want to go to, what activity to engage with, and who to interact with.

Different activities will increase your stats, which will unlock extra options in scenes. Don't forget to keep up your studies - there are three exams throughout the year, and passing them unlocks extra special scenes!

Spending time with the main characters will increase increase their affection, unlocking new scenes (including animations) with them and levelling up their relationship progress.

You'll have 100 days to get to know your favourite characters as best you can, whilst keeping your studies up in order to pass your finals. (Note: as of version 0.6x the game ends at day 80, although you have the option of going back two weeks with your progress intact. This will be extended as the games is updated and more scenes are added, with the final version reaching to day 100 and possibly beyond!)

You can also earn money in several ways, in order to buy bonuses to your stats and spicy extras.

Care has been taken to ensure a minimal amount of grind, so that you can just enjoy getting closer to the characters at your own pace.

Side characters and random events

As well as the five main characters, there are a number of other people around campus for you to meet, from a variety of backgrounds. You'll bump into most of them through random events, so keep your eyes open!

There are also random events with the main characters, which might present you with chances to further develop your relationship.

After working on it on my own for over a year, Yuri University first released in 2022. I've added 10 updates since then, with many more planned. I'm blown away at the positive reception and support that's been shown, thank you.
