College Life Remake is a Ren’Py visual novel by Max003, based on MikeMasters’ original game. You arrive at college as the protagonist, meet Jane, and explore the campus through branching conversations and choices. Its 3DCG and AI CG art supports a school setting focused on romance and free exploration.
Version 0.2 Alpha, released October 17, 2026, shows development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. The latest update continues the first days at college and adds new story events, including time with Kara and Jane. It introduces the headmaster’s summons, a meeting with Ms. Jameson, unpacking, the first-night sequence, a classroom lesson, and Kara conversations. It also adds library study sessions, repeatable tutoring, a path to friendship with Kara after three sessions, her sweater backstory and room visit, and a lunch with Jane in the Main Hall café with branching responses, payment choices, and relationship effects. Quests were reorganized into the multi-stage Settling In quest, with A Helping Hand and Study Buddies added.
