Unity - Completed - Summer~Life in the Countryside~ [DLC Outing] [Dieselmine]

Summer Life in the Countryside is a point-and-click scene-hunting game with a simple premise, made in the Unity engine. One day, the protagonist’s aunt asks him to stay at her house while she is away. The protagonist then reencounters his cousin, a beautiful, well-developed girl with a soothing voice. As expected, being together in a bucolic village during the height of summer, their relationship begins to spark. The gameplay is as simple as the plot. It's a straightforward scene-hunting game, meaning you have a limited time to find scenes with the cousin around the house and outdoors. These scenes vary in tone depending on the degree of affection. To improve the relationship, you need to accumulate points of love and lust. However, the developers didn’t establish any limit parameters, so you can max out both stats within the first few minutes of gameplay. Aside from that, there isn’t much else to do. It’s a relatively short game that can be rushed in just a couple of hours. Despite the ever-present static images, Summer Life also includes many pixelated sprite scenes that impress with very smooth animations, offering a small degree of interactivity. These high-quality sprites are the game's standout feature and its true gem. After completing the game, you can search for secrets to unlock all scenes in the recollection menu. It’s a very simple game with a laser focus on one purpose, and it executes that almost perfectly. However, it’s held back, as usual, by japan’s ridiculous censorship laws and the lack of basic features like text speed control and window resizing. It’s better than many similar games out there, but there isn't much to praise beyond the pixel art and animation.

It's nice but there's not a whole a lot of something or anything in that matter.
Dialogue is wholly optional with any of the stat just play different variation of the same scene.
With a girl lacking in any enthusiasm that I can only describe as Retarted.

It's kind of miss opportunity really, the setting really capture rural life with first sign of declining birth rate.
Just strolling around the map really gave that serene feeling, but with no action to interact or examine in-depth just makes it less interesting than background screen wallpaper.

Art is great and design is very cute but there really needs to be more here, the only thing you do in this game is walk around and have sex but there's not character development or story of any kind. It just feels weird as a result and with no real stakes to the sex it just never has any impact. Idk, to me sex like this is meaningless unless there's at least some development behind it and with only 2 characters it would've been trivial to have some cute scenes with character development here but most of it is just plain boring.

The animations are really good, but there's no character, plot, story or gameplay. Which, I thought I was mostly fine with going in, but it's really the erotic version of watching Big Bang Theory without the laughtrack - Without even the most basic personality for either character, them fucking all the time just feels kind of offputting. It has the feeling of enabling someone's addiction.

really nice 2d pixel-animated art work game. The best thing is that there are two DLCs just as good as the base game and it is not impossible that there will be another one in the future..... 5 STAAAAAR

Caution! Extremely buggy:
Images didn't load and only showed a black screen instead.
The text loaded at a snails pace and was partially covered by a giant X button.

If anyone else has issues try this:
After fiddling around for a while, I finally got it to work properly by downloading from a different mirror and moving the game folder to my C: drive before applying the patch pinned in the downloads section.

If you do get it to work it's the average cohabitation-type game. Art and audio are good. The gameplay not so much.
Story-wise, there's a distinct lack of bulid-up. You just meet her and get to fucking within 2 days. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a bug as well.

I have a soft spot for Dieselmine since they are one of the first developers I really started to get to know. Their games have a unique charm to them with their pixel graphics and then you get some actual HD scenes as well. This game is a timesink as there's a lot of scenes to collect, plus a DLC!

Pros:

• An incredible amount of scenes to collect
• 6+ hours to complete 100%
• DLC is great
• Graphics are pixel-like and charming
• Day & night cycle done right
• Amazing replayability
• Gallery is included

Cons:

• Only one girl to get scenes for, but I personally don't mind
• Can get a bit mundane farming the same scene over and over to grind up levels

Conclusion:

An all-time classic that should be cherished and played!

The artstyle and voice acting are great, but there isn't much to do in this game. For a game that allows you to walk around and explore, there's not a lot of content. Most of Hazuki's walking dialogue is repeated as well.

A minigame, more dialogue between the MC and Hazuki, or even some more activities would be nice. (The DLC does add 2 events with lots of sex scenes and dialogue.) Considering you can max out both of the affection bars in 1 day, you're stuck having to waste the remaining 27-29 days doing jack shit.

Dieselmine is making a sequel to this game, however, which should come out in August (according to his DLsite). If anybody actually reads this review, try the game out. It's one of those games that's good for a quick fap.

My favorite game so far is you play a childhood friend who comes to host a friend of a childhood friend while her parents are on vacation that's the whole story at this time you make friends with her but that's the big problem in the game because there is a love bar and a friendship bar and your goal is to get it all the way up so that your childhood friend will give you access to Everything you want [fucks, blowjobs, etc.] and that's the problem because it's possible to fill the bar on the first day and it takes away all progress for the rest of the game because there's nothing else to do but fuck her everywhere
And when it comes to dialogues with her, there aren't many sentences and most of them are repeated and it starts to get tiring once or twice and integration with the world you can take her for a walk in the city for example go to a bus stop or to the grocery store or also to the sea and camping in the forest and yes there is also there you can fuck her but other than that there is nothing more I would be happy with that, they would have sample bureaus in the grocery store, the customers would ask what the noise was and you had a noise meter that you were not allowed to pass otherwise you would fail in short they could add a mini game that challenges your horniness but from here it is another point and click that you press to see what happens in any case the animation Very beautiful, really invested in making the world and your horny girl. To sum up this game, you can finish it in an hour/fifteen minutes. The most beautiful animation I've seen so far. It's still not a complete game and I would be happy if they added more content to it and gave more tasks that would give more things to do for the summer vacation.

Well i mean it was a nice game but it feel so boring for a walk and sex game

It become so long to unlock all the scenes and the gain of money is to slow, the glitches and bugs make it very hard to play but i think thats not the games fault.
With that said the game was great and has great animations and cg animation, I loved the VA on this game. i recommned it but only if it works the first time and not blackscreen you 8/10 (and sorry for my bad english)

I seldom leave reviews here, but this game gave me such a strong feeling of missed opportunity that I felt like sharing my thoughts.

The art is really nice and the game engine is great. I love the chara-design of the main love interest, she's smoking hot. I kept thinking of Inaba Ruka for whatever reason while playing the game.

Anyways, where the game drops the ball completely is on the game mechanics and pacing. And I can't understand why the developer dropped the ball this hard. There's no sexual tension past the first 5 minutes. The game never teases the player in what will come next. As others have mentioned, you can just repeatedly "talk" to the girl so her love gauge maxes out on the first day. Same goes with the lust gauge.

I think the game should have limited the player in a specific number of actions per day to pace the story and the evolving relationship between the protagonists.

Too bad, I think the developer had the potential to create a classic of the eroge genre but ended up with something meh instead.

How many scenes do you want to have?

Dieselmine: "yes"

How hot do you want your artstyle to be

Dieselmine: "yes"

How much plot do you want to have?

Dieselmine: "no"
gameplay isn't breathtaking and the plotline is thin as paper but the graphics, scenery variety, position variety and voice acting are top notch
if you like what you see, you'll like what there is

I've only played 5 days of gametime and it's the perfect relaxing hentai game.
Basically get to do it anywhere, right away, not a ton of build up, and delves right into the fun part. The voice acting is fun, art style is great, and the creativity with each day gets better and better.

Good pixel art cohabitation game



This game really scratches that specific itch for a absolutely bust childhood friend with casual sex all throughout, which is what makes it so good
There is very little story to speak of, but it doesnt need on considering the expectation it sets
The affection and lewdness mechanic is a bit odd, honestly felt tedious.
The pixel art and the cgs are very good, but VERY annoying to unlock some of them, especially cause the gallery seperates each cg by how much affection and lewdness exists, when the changes themselves are very minimal, still forcing you to unlock it all.

But overall, very nice quick pixel art fap experience

Play this game if you:
- Like pixel art sex
- Like Tomboys
- Don't really care about plot

It's grindy at first to have to keep talking to her to get her stats up, but by then you just are watching the same 10 sex scenes. This game would benefit if there were so much more variety to the scenes.

Very good, not much of a story but that's ok it can be a little repetitive. I do like the mechanics of the game. I love the graphics, and the game ran smoothly. I wish there were more games like this one!

The atmosphere made me melt into the thick, tanned cousin. This experience felt like a surreal dream. If you are not desensitized by the hundreds of H games you have played, this game is amazing. Even if you are jaded, I think most people can appreciate the art.

Reviewing base game (will update if I ever play the DLC)

Quick review this time because I forgot to review it when I played it
Very simple game, the girl doesn't really have a personality beyond being a walking sex toy.
That being said the animations and outfits were all incredible and we even get rewarded with full screen quality animations too which definitely makes the game better and more enjoyable. Sometimes the hints to unlock certain scenes could use some more specificity but otherwise it's pretty nice.
Thinking a 3.5/5 to a light 4/5, waiting to play DLC without bricking the entire game to make a final review
The DLC just elevates the game where it needs to be adding more animations, more locations, more fullsceen animations and adds some exhibitionism elements to the game which is dope!
Bumping my 4/5 to a 4.5/5. Rounding it up to a 5 star rating! Amazing game

More of a Gallery Walk with extra steps.

Cons:
-The girls personality of a emotionally neutral person is not going together with the fact that you can talk with her. There is nothing interesting to learn or to speak, because this kind of personal archetype fits more into a sex toy / sex slave kind of relationship.
-Usually she is a hot emotionless fuck toy, but the voice acting in the sex scenes indicate that she is getting fucked hard and enjoying it A LOT but her sprite artwork is still just emotionless. I like the emotionless sex partners that still have obvious feeling for you but show it in subtle ways. But here its an awkward mix for me.
-Grinding up the bars was so easy and is not revolving around anything. I dont know why there are so many days if you can grind every meter up in one day. It just does not really feel earned and after completing everything you just skip the last 10 days or go to bed to unlock the last stuff in the shop. Iam sure the developer intended it, but this part was the most boring of all so I wanted to mention it.
-Censored


Pros
+Incredible sex animations and even more incredible full screen special animations! This animation are top notch and even if you dont want to play it. If you like pixel-art sex go look up the scenes.
+Amazing background art fitting for every location and setting. The lighting also is very very good. Everytime you are really pulled into the game by its enviroment.
+Costume variations.
+High variety of sex positions.
+Lack of anal and footjobs (I dont like it so Iam happy about that)
+Very good sound effects and ambience sound. This game can you draw you in, in this hot japanese summer. If the ambience is this good than I dont care if there is no background music. And in the recollection you get one nice song.
+The drawn art is good and fits well with the pixel animations. Not like
Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest.
+Map for fast travel. Some developers do not provide such easy things. (looking at you Arenus)
+I really liked the body type of being a bit more chubby. This makes her big tits more logical and natural. Also inverted nipples and suntan. Just exactly what Iam into.
+English translation.
+Playable one-handed in its entirety


You can "play" this game once and then just download the animations. Just to know where these animations come from and having a little fun with it.

Thanks to "Wahnsinn" providing a way to play this game. Without him I could not have had experienced this game. (https://f95zone.to/threads/how-to-run-japanese-games-on-windows.1040/post-10169064)
