Morimiya Middle School Shooting

**Morimiya Middle School Shooting** (森宮中学校銃乱射事件, *morimiya chuugakkou juu ransha jiken*) is a 2018 Japanese game developed by Eric (eric806359), under the pseudonym as Erikku or kata235, using the RPG Maker MV program.
The game incorporates immersive-simulation, mini-game, and reverse horror game genres centered in a modernized school set in Japan and drew inspirations to such controversial depiction of real-life events involving school shooting in U.S.A.

## Premise

In Japan, an unnamed girl experiences the trauma of walking into the bathroom where her mother committed suicide, hanging from a rope. Living with her alcoholic father until he one day becomes quiet and mysteriously disappears (likely due to his debts), she develops hatred of those who ignore her, those who have what she doesn't, and a desire to kill. Hearing about previous cases of mass murder, and learning how to make pipe bombs, she prepares to commit a mass murder of her own at her own school, Morimiya Middle School.

## Gameplay

The player controls an unnamed girl that shoots up her school. You start with only two guns, a low power .22 caliber rifle (SR22) and a 9mm semi-automatic pistol (G17). At the end of each shooting, it will gain SP, which can be spent to buy new guns and skills. There will be people that try to stop you, teachers, some male students, and the yandere. Killing the yandere awards a 5000 SP bonus at the end of the shooting.

The player can run, which decreases the stamina bar and accuracy. If the player is above 50% stamina, they will maintain a minimum of 50% accuracy while aiming. While aiming, the player can gain up to 100% accuracy. Accuracy is the chance that a shot will hit a student.

Shot power is the chance of whether a shot will instantly kill a student. There are no guns that will guarantee instant kill students. Critical hits, which are unlikely on all guns will always instantly kill a student or teachers regardless of shot power. Shotguns get a 25%+ accuracy bonus but decrease in power the farther away a target is.

If you get 5 stars on a shooting (60+ Kills), you unlock the BM-15 MOD.
