Freshmen: Physical Education is an adult Ren'Py visual novel by FreshmenVN, presented with 3DCG art. You play Connor Brandt, a newly out aspiring writer attending the College for the 21st Century Arts in a large city. His semester task is to write about sex and sexuality, but he has no experience yet. As he explores campus, he meets several men, some interested only in casual encounters and others in romance, and your choices shape which relationships he pursues.
The current build is v0.2.4, released September 2, 2026, for Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. Development continues. This update resumes the main story after Will's class and adds choice-driven scenes, including variations based on the kit selected. It then moves ahead to a hangout with Matt, the featured character, with multiple conversation branches. The release adds 144 new CGs, while some content for non-featured characters has been temporarily trimmed to fix sequence breaks.
Developer's description
Connor Brandt is newly out and on his own for the first time at the College for the 21st Century Arts, a multi-discipline arts school in the big city.
An aspiring writer, Connor is given a semester-long assignment to write all about his experiences with sex and sexuality. One problem: Connor's never been with anyone before.
Luckily, there's hot and interesting dudes everywhere on campus. Some are only in it for the sex—but others want something more. Connor has
a lot
to learn before he can finish his assignment. Which guys will you choose to give Connor his physical education?
v0.2.4
This update picks up where the main story left off after Will's class. The scenes that follow have a lot of variations based on your choices, including which kit you chose (if you chose one at all).
As the day ends, you'll jump forward to a hangout with Matt, who is the featured character for this update. There are many different conversation branches to explore, but I have a guide below to help you navigate his primary path.
This update has 144 new CGs to unlock as you play through the new content. If you need help unlocking any, drop a comment and I'll be happy to assist!
One important caveat—I had to trim down and temporarily remove some content for non-featured characters to fix some sequence breaks. You may see some oddness if you're following a storyline not entirely focused on Matt, but I'll be expanding on these scenes either in the coming weeks or when we reach the update featuring that character.

New Grind'm Scenario
This new update is primarily focused on adding the second unlockable hookup to the game. Joining Jordi on the Grind'm roster is
Trevor
, NC17's twin, as voted on by Graduate Patreon patrons.
This new scenario follows you and former wrestler Trevor to an upscale hotel room where you control the action—and where you might just encounter some unexpected twists...
This scenario features
nearly 200 new CGs
that you can unlock by playing a much more experienced Connor as a top, bottom, side, or a combination. *
* The number of CGs will differ based on newly added content settings
New and Updated Art
More art has been added to the game, including new sprites for characters that have gotten an upgraded model, like future Grind'm guy Parker.
Plus, some CGs have been revised as the quest continues to raise the quality of the earliest images to match the much more polished newer art, like this one featuring Matt and Leo.
You might even get a glimpse of a character who was previously only mentioned during one of Connor's fantasies.
Final Release Feature - Restored Content
By the time early access ends, some previously cut content will be restored to the game. You will finally be able to talk to Isaiah the morning after the events at the club, allowing you to deepen your burgeoning relationship.
Isaiah has a new HD model, as featured in much of his revised art. After you talk to him before your "Morning After" shower, you may just get a tease from this new and improved version of our favorite dashing danseur.
Final Release Patreon Exclusive - Relationship Guide
Also arriving by the time this update leaves early access is a brand new, in-depth relationship guide that will be
exclusive
to Patreon patrons, as my thanks for their invaluable support of the game.
This guide covers the ideal choices to make to develop a relationship with each main character, including how to navigate branching story paths, hints at what lay in store for them in future updates, and guidance on when you can get to know other guys without affecting your fav guy's storyline.

Good writing, good art, and frequent updates. The characters themselves are more well rounded, interesting, and serious than you'll find in a lot of VN games (at least gay ones). I particularly enjoyed Griffin and I think there would be…

[v0.2.1] Great storytelling and rendering. The MC is cute. Most other characters are believable but some of them looks a little more mature than college guys for me. There were a lot content to play with even in this early…

This game is a mixed bag to me. The backgrounds look fantastic and are very detailed. The characters, well some are really appealing and some just aren't at all but that's more personal taste. Where the faces fail however the…
