Setsuna's enjoying her summer vacation before the start of second term when Sekai comes down with a cold and asks her to take her shift at her part-time waitress job. This does not mean the game happens before School Days, rather Makoto happens to be acquainted with the characters before the second semester starts. Progress can be saved at anytime in up to 100 slots.ĭiffering from School Days the game takes place during summer vacation, which is a few weeks before the second semester of a high school in Japan. After the player has viewed a specific part the ability to fast forward becomes available. The player can also turn on the ability to skip to the next choice, although if the player hasn't viewed a specific part the player will be stopped at those. The player is initially given the ability to pause, skip to the next part, return to the beginning of the current part and return to the beginning of a previous part. Like it's predecessor and unlike traditional visual novels that consist of the protagonist talking to static images of characters, Summer days is unusual in that it incorporates motion and voice, making it similar to an anime series. These choices change the course of the story and takes the player to one of the many endings. At predetermined intervals, the game presents the player with one or two choices to make, or the player can choose to not make a choice.

Like School Days and other visual novels, Summer Days requires extremely minimal gameplay.
