The Class Next Door: EX2 is a Ren'Py adult visual novel by 9thCrux, presented with 3D animated artwork. It follows a male protagonist in a school-centered romance with harem dynamics, continuing after the events of TCND: EX. Several girls are already close to him, while party preparations, crossed boundaries, and an improving relationship with his ex-wife drive the current situation. Play is mostly linear with choices, a daily routine, and a selectable dream menu at night, with route events available across the main story.
The current build is v0.13.1, released February 5, 2024, and the update history shows ongoing work. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, in English, with no censorship. The latest changelog entry, v0.12.1, adds Episode 11, story progress with Amy and Daria, a scene with Daria, and dream content featuring Amy and Melanie, alongside main storyline advancement. Earlier notes describe choice-based progression, daily scheduling, day-specific events, and options to adjust character ages or Tiffany's relationship to the player.
