2	''Morimiya Middle School Shooting'' is a freeware RPG created by eric806359 using UsefulNotes/RPGMaker MV. It was released on December 2018.
3
4	Its plot follows a young girl with a DarkAndTroubledPast. Her mother [[DrivenToSuicide hung herself in the bathroom]], and the girl was traumatized when she walked in on her as she did this. As such, she's been living all by herself with her [[AlcoholicParent alcoholic father]] [[DisappearedDad until he mysteriously disappears one day]], leaving only his guns behind. She's developed a deep hatred of those who ignore her, an equally deep hatred of those who have things she doesn't, and homicidal urges. Hearing about cases of mass murder, combined with her learning how to make pipe bombs, ultimately gives her one goal in mind: to [[AxesAtSchool go on a killing spree at her school]]: the titular Morimiya Middle School.
5
6	It's essentially a mix ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Hatred}}'', and ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator''. It appears to be inspired by ''VideoGame/SuperColumbineMassacreRPG'', but then again, who knows what inspired it?
7
8	On January 27th 2024, (6 years after the game release) the developer released version 1.2b, where he finally delivers his promise of delivering a hard mode, where the responding cops appear on the scene that shoot and kill the protagonist early, new guns, melee combat, and more.

13	!! ''Morimiya Middle School Shooting'' provides examples of:
14	* AintTooProudToBeg: Victims will ask you to spare their lives.
15	* AKA47: Few of the guns have full or accurate names, with only the Type 56 and Tec-9 correctly labeled. The developer has said this is to avoid lawsuits from firearms manufacturers.
16	* AlcoholicParent: The shooter's father began abusing alcohol after the mother killed herself.
17
18	* ArtisticLicenseLaw: The game is apparently set in an alternate history world where Japan has the same gun laws as the United States. In reality, there has never been a school shooting in Japanese history (there have been school stabbings and mass shootings, however, although they're very rare) because of their strict gun laws.
19	* AssholeVictim: In almost all of the endings, the shooter gets her comeuppance, either getting stabbed to death, blown up, or arrested feeling like a failure. Even in the "good" ending, she still gets arrested (where she will almost certainly be swiftly executed, given Japan's no-nonsense justice system).
20	* AxesAtSchool: It's a school shooting-themed game, what did you expect? Naturally there are references to several other mass murder sprees that happened at other schools prior to the events of the game.
21	* TheBadGuyWins: In the "good" ending, the shooter surrenders to the police. In her internal monologue, she sounds very content with herself.
22	* BewareTheQuietOnes: Invoked; the shooter remarks in the opening cutscene and in optional dialogue that they were incredibly quiet and lonely, and expresses the belief that it will be all the more shocking when she commits her shooting spree.
23	* BlackComedy: Although this game takes itself dead seriously and plays everything completely straight, there is one brief moment of levity when the shooter arrives at the school. She bumps into a bystander and they share an awkward silence before the bystander scurries away in fear upon noticing her rifle. [[PetTheDog It's the only person the shooter spares.]]
24	** The security guard at the school entrance gate tells the shooter that she can't bring a gun into school because it's a gun free zone. She shoots him first.
25	* BondOneLiner: Similar to Postal Dude, the shooter shouts out a lot of cheesy one-liners while going on her killing spree.
26	-->''Die! Kill!''
27	-->''Shut up and die!''
28	-->''School's over!''
29	-->''You will know my pain!''
30	-->''I won't hide anymore!''
31	-->''You're all gonna die!''
32	-->''Bet you didn't think this would happen!''
33	-->''I was born to kill you all!''
34	-->''You'll get what you deserve!''
35	-->''Your families will love this!''
36	* BoringButPractical: The Calico M900 uses only 9mm ammo and thus the player may have to shoot victims multiple times, but the high magazine capacity and low recoil makes it easy to land continuous hits and move from victim to victim without requiring a reload.
37	* BottomlessMagazines: Zig-zagged; The weapons your character uses all have [[ShownTheirWork realistic and accurate]] ammo sizes per magazine, but the magazines themselves are infinite.
38	* BraggingRightsReward: Killing 60 people in one go unlocks an AR-15 modified with a bump stock, increasing its rate of fire. Also, completing the training minigame in under 13 seconds unlocks a perk that doubles your accuracy while moving.
39	* DeadpanSnarker: The shooter, surprisingly.
40	-->'''School Guard:''' ''"[[CaptainObvious I-Is that a gun?! You can't enter with that!]]"''
41	-->'''Shooter:''' ''"Oh really?"''
42	* DespairSpeech: Much of the shooter's MotiveRant consists of them talking about how horrible their life is and how it led them to want to kill everyone.
43	* DisappearedDad: The shooter's father vanished for unknown reasons before the game's events. It is implied that he, like his wife, killed himself.
44	* DrivenToSuicide: Her mother hung herself in the bathroom when the shooter was a young girl.
45	** Averted for the shooter herself. While mass shooters usually kill themselves, the protagonist refuses to be "just another suicide statistic" like her mother. She can still kill herself on accident, however.
46	* EasterEgg: If the player faces the wall to the left of the gun safe and presses the Z button ten times, they're awarded with one million points, enabling them to buy every upgrade and weapon.
47	* EpicFail: You can kill yourself by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard walking into your own pipe bomb]].
48	* FakingTheDead: Students will throw themselves to the ground in an apparent attempt at playing dead.
49	* FreudianExcuse: The shooter's home life is incredibly chaotic, with her mother having killed themselves and her father walking out on her entirely, letting her fend for herself. It's implied that it hadn't been very cheery prior to that, either.
50	* GameFavoredGender: Killing schoolgirls and female teachers nets more points than schoolboys or male teachers. Is that sexist against females, or males?
51	* HeroicBystander: All of the male teachers will attempt to restrain you using a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_catcher man catcher]], while female teachers whistle for help. Occasionally, some of the male students may attempt to pin down the player.
52	* KickTheDog: The school guard is likely the only person who ever showed the shooter sympathy, but she guns him down without a word anyway.
53	* LonersAreFreaks: The shooter mentions having no friends and not being close to anyone at all.
54	* MultipleEndings: The player can either get arrested by police, detained by teachers, blown up with their own pipe bomb, or stabbed to death by a yandere.
55	* NotAfraidToDie: The shooter's monologues make it clear that she ultimately doesn't care if she lives or dies – she just wants to take down as many people as possible with her.
56	* NoNameGiven: Unlike all other of eric806359's mascots, the shooter has never been given a name. Many fans have dubbed her "Shooter-chan" or [[VideoGame/{{Hatred}} "Not Impor-tan"]].
57	* OneWomanArmy: In an upcoming update, the player will be able to do battle with responding law enforcement, where they will presumably be gunning dozens of cops down.
58	* TheResenter: The main motivation of the shooter consists of envy of others for living happier lives than her and her desire to kill people to spite them.
59	* RippedFromTheHeadlines: The game blatantly takes inspiration from real life school shootings and rampage attacks, referencing several in ways both subtle and overt.
60	** Some of the player character's MotiveRant is taken from female spree killer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_Hepnarov%C3%A1 Olga Hepnarová]].
61	** If the player character makes it to the art room on the third floor of the school, they can find drawings of various infamous mass murderers, like [[UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold]], Seung-Hui Cho, Charles Whitman, Brenda Spencer, and Matti Juhani Saari.
62	* ShoutOut: The yandere character's overworld sprite resembles [[VideoGame/YandereSimulator Ayano Aishi]] in what may or may not be a TakeThat.
63	* SpreeKiller: The player character, of course.
64	* StaminaBurn: Teachers or students attempting to restrain the player will drain their stamina. Since stamina informally doubles as health, this can lead to the player getting a game over quickly if they've ran too much.
65	* StrawNihilist: You can read the shooter's poetry scattered around her home, to give insight on how just how much of a lost a soul she is. "[[HollywoodAtheist A world without god. A world without souls.]] [[MisanthropeSupreme Creatures with empty hearts. Thousands and millions and billions. The number only continues to increase.]] A terrifyingly empty, meaningless world."
66	* TaughtByTelevision: In an instance of CanonWelding, the shooter was inspired by seeing another one of eric806359's characters, a mass stabber named Yūmi Tōjō from "Tag in the Hallway", on the news. She also got the pipe bomb idea from another widely-publicized domestic terrorist.
67	* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: The school security guard tries to talk the shooter into giving up their weapon and stopping their rampage before it begins. She refuses to listen and kills him first.
68	* TeensAreMonsters: The game is set in a middle school, meaning the shooter is at most 15.
69	* VillainProtagonist: You play as the girl shooting up Morimiya Middle School.
70	* {{Yandere}}: There's a unique enemy in the game who is a good old fashioned anime yandere, who tries to stab the player to death to defend her senpai.
