Summer Days

I have a lot of catching up to do… I didn’t find out about this till yesterday.

Summer Days
刹那ちゃん、可愛すぎ!

Summer Days is a story based on Overflow’s fully-animated School Days. There doesn’t seem to be a tragic love triangle this time, instead it has been replaced with Setsuna and more Setsuna! I’ll get this out of the way first before I elaborate: Whoever thought of this is a goddamn genius!

Although Summer Days shares the same setting as the original game, it is actually one of those “What if?” alternate universe stories. According to the FAQ:

Q:どんなゲームですか?スクールデイズとは違うのですか?

A:誠が、2学期が始まり世界や言葉と親しくなる前に、もしも刹那と出会っていれば・・・というお話です。
ゲームシステムは「スクールデイズ」と同様のリアルタイムフルアニメーションシステムです。

Basically, this is what would have happened if Makoto met Setsuna first and the love triangle with Sekai and Kotonoha never happened. Setsuna tied with Sekai as my favourite character in the original game, so you can guess that I’m pretty damn happy with this new arrangement.

The current release date is January 2006. But considering how the original game was delayed for months, I’m guessing it’s probably closer to March. This is going on my preorder list… D:
