Matsumori Days is the first in a series of three games that focus on storytelling. With this game, it centers on the trials faced by six high school students as they find themselves trapped in some rather unique extracurricular activities (Yeah, let's call them that). Combat is of importance to the game, but, don't expect to see anything exciting happening with it.
The game's resources are all over the place, to be frank. The game has roots as far back as 2002 (Though, to be honest, it was a rather vague idea back then), and the RPG Maker 2000 engine. It's "RTP add-on" being where the portraits the game uses are from (Which means I have no clue who actually made them). A boss or two use battlers from RPG Maker XP. The Famitsu site was used to make the character sprites for the main cast, and the various students and teachers found in the game. To top it all off, there are a number of ripped songs from commercial games. If any number of these things offend you, you'd do well to stay away from this game.
