Yuri University is a sandbox, stat-managing style visual novel, 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!
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?
