Here is an overview of the game, via its retail listings:

Story

“The promise we made that day still lives on this island—.”
A remote island just south of Honshu.
If you climb the stone steps that begin at the foot of the hilly island, you’ll reach a plateau with a panoramic view of the town below and the sea. At the top of this hill is the school attended by the protagonist and company.
However, the factory of a large corporation that constituted the majority of the island’s industry is set to shut down next year, and the number of students has been gradually decreasing.
On another hilltop on the island is a dormitory converted from one of the school’s old buildings. With the decrease in dormitory residents, only the protagonist and the heroines currently live there.
Another student, who for some reason transfers to the school at an unusual time, also gets caught in the mix. Though they sometimes clash, they lead lively and enjoyable lives together each day.
