History VisualNovel / Morenatsu

The first fangroup picked up the game where the original team left it. While they did release a newer demo containing the completed stories for Tatsuki, Kounosuke, Kouya, Shun, Juuichi and Shin, this team would later discontinue the project as well for personal reasons, leaving it in {{Vaporwave}} status.

* SenpaiKohai: Kyouji and Soutarou brings this straight out of a yaoi.

* SempaiKohai: Kyouji and Soutarou brings this straight out of a yaoi.

* GrumpyBear: Juuichi. And he's actually a bear. {{Subverted|Trope}} in that according to his profile, he looks mad all the time, but usually isn't.

''Morenatsu'' (漏れなつ。 "Summer break") is an adult-oriented UsefulNotes/{{Furry|Fandom}} BaraGenre HGame. It was led by the {{Kemono}} artist Gamma, but after his contributions he has since left the project. Morenatsu is currently [[NoExportForYou only in Japanese]], with characters developed by many different aggregate sources on the 2ch {{Kemono}} image board.

The game is [[{{Vaporware}} still incomplete]] ([[DevelopmentHell and has been for years]]; development was discontinued in 2015 before a new team has picked up the development), so only a trial version of the game is currently available. A newer demo had been released, containing the completed stories for Tatsuki, Kounosuke, Kouya, Shun, Juuichi and Shin along with the conclusions of their love stories.

'''The story''': The game takes place during summer vacation in [[UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} Japan]]. The main character, Hiroyuki Nishimura (one of the few humans in the game), gets a letter from a friend in the village where he spent his childhood, Minasato village (水郷村 ''Minasato-mura''). He moved away to the city five years ago. His grandparents currently live there, so he decides to return there.

With regard to gameplay, it's a [[QueerRomance gay]] VisualNovel. The player has one month to gain the affection of one of nine men. They are:

If the player makes the correct decisions, Hiroyuki and one of the characters will [[ExplicitContent make love]] and establish a romantic relationship.

But the story is long and character-driven, with little or no sex scenes until the love scene. ''Morenatsu'' indeed has a broad gay {{Kemono}} audience appeal ranging from G-rated to X-rated, and the game's public visibility is almost entirely sustained by [[http://www.furaffinity.net/favorites/morenatsufan/ an enormous amount of fanart]], just as equally ranging from G-rated to X-rated. (This [=FurAffinity=] link is fairly work-safe for non-members or for accounts that do not have adult content activated.

While this was looking to become yet another piece of {{Vaporware}}, a new team in 2015 has decided to pick up where the original left off. However, due to personal issues among the team that was cancelled too. However, another team by Stormsinger Studios would end up making their own version of the game.

''[-'''NOTE:''' Since this is an ongoing project, these pages will be periodically updated whenever a new version is available.-]''

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: This game has at least 20 characters and only six routes have been released so far. If all routes were complete, the number would likely jump all the way to 50.

* {{Megane}}: Botan, Tetsuya and Shigure.
** Kounosuke is {{Meganekko}} with lots of {{Moe}}.

* SempaiKohai: Kyouji and Soutarou brings this straight out of a [[YaoiGuys yaoi]].

* StraightGay[=/=]ManlyGay: Practically every gay or bi character, even the {{Bishonen}} and YaoiGuys. There is virtually nothing CampGay in this game. Even Hiroyuki plays this trope straight.

* FiveManBand: Literally, Kouya's band. The positions differ depending on whether you view it by character roles[[note]]TheHero: Kouya, TheLancer: Hiroyuki, TheBigGuy: Keisuke, TheSmartGuy: Jun, TheChick: Yuuki.[[/note]] or by musical roles[[note]]TheHero(Lead Singer): Yuuki, TheLancer(Lead Guitar): Kouya, TheBigGuy(Drummer): Keisuke, TheSmartGuy(Bassist): Jun, TheChick(Effects): Hiroyuki[[/note]].

* CastFullOfGay[=/=]EveryoneIsGay: In this game, most of the cast ''is'' gay, including the older supporting characters Tappei (who is actually bi), Botan, and even the elderly mayor Shigure. Chuukichi is also found to be gay. The rest of the characters (Akira, Yukiharu, etc.) are of unknown sexuality. Tetsuya is married with a daughter, but then again, Tappei has a wife and son too, so it's unknown whether Tetsuya is straight or bi. Still, in such a small village, the sheer demographic skew of gay male characters makes it seem more like a {{Gayborhood}}, or at least like a strikingly postheteronormative community where sexuality is not a social marker.

** Kounosuke route by itself has two endings, one bad and one good, while Tatsuki route has some bad endings which result out of bad choices.

* {{Adorkable}}: Tatsuki and Kounosuke, incidentally also the first stories to be completed. Shun and Soutarou also have Adorkable qualities.
* BaraGenre[=/=]YaoiGenre: A lot of each. Torahiko, Tatsuki, Juuichi and Kounosuke are more masculine and brawny and fit the Bara mold. Shin, Shun and Soutarou are more lithe and boyish (with Shun and Soutarou being out-right twinks) and fit the Yaoi mold. Kouya and Kyouji straddle the Bara-Yaoi border and fit well in either mold. Kounosuke superficially looks more boyish when fully-clothed (just chubbier than normal), but he displays very much a Bara body type when the shirt comes off. In fact, if you look at the list, they're actually in descending order of masculinity, starting with Torahiko, Tatsuki and Juuichi. They transition from masculine into more boyish territory, ending with Soutarou.

** Similarly, there's also a camping trip with you and the 9 other guys. Like the trip to the beach and the welcoming party, you get to choose who you spend the trip with.
