VN - Ren'Py - Summer Story [v0.3.1] [Logo]

[UPDATED 13/05/2024]

V. 0.2.9

Gave it a 5-star rating when it first came out and haven't touched it since. Decided to give the latest version a go and I can positively say that after all these years it still retains the same quality.

People say the updates are slow, but if attention is properly paid, one will come to notice that each and every dialogue has a unique scene of its own. Whether it is an eye shift, a little hand or leg positioning, a moment of silent pause, etc., there is always a change in expression or body language for the characters with every click, and the overall effect is an incest game that feels adequately paced despite having an uncomplicated plot.

The graphics are not the best out there, but this can be attributed to personal preference. What this game lacks in visual quality is made up for in animation. Dialogues between characters, grammatical errors aside, are also rather straightforward and mundane to the point of being boring, and the lack of music further exacerbates the dull mood. However, this actually works to the game's favor since it adds a layer of realism to the family dynamic.

Of course, everything is held together by the star of the show: Kasie. Not only does she look great, but her introverted, responsible, kind, gentle, and caring sisterly nature towards her two little brothers without being overbearing makes her attractive as well. And speaking of the brothers, yes they look weird, but it's still refreshing to see males in an adult game not boasting of 'monster-sized packages' that have the female characters constantly fawning over.

In conclusion, it's clear that the developer puts in effort and heart into crafting this game, and has a good understanding of what makes incest so alluring. If you are someone who is a fan of incest games but is sick of all the ones that have family members wanting to jump on MC's dicks every minute right from the get-go without any form of story build up, then Summer Story is for you.

Summary:
You are a young man that you and your twin brother come to live with your sister for the summer, but as you are a growing teen you start to develop urges towards your sister where will they take you is unknown.

Extraordinary aspects of the game:
None.

What is good:
The models of the girls are great, the animation is good as well. The story is somewhat believable and the characters are quite good.

What is bad:
The MC and his brother models, yes it’s important to have a good model for the MC at least. The shrunk Jonny Bravo isn’t the best model, especially the small anatomically incorrect penis.

What can be made better:
Changing the models of the twins, there are few ways to do so a complete remake or slowly to change them, it’s quite weird to see their small muscular bodies right now especially the “dork” twin got bigger biceps than me.

My opinion:
It’s an interesting game where you can’t have all of the girls with quite a nice change of pace, at the same time you can share them with your brother. I really loved the models of the girls, they look great.

The story itself is fine and believable, and that’s it there little content right now so I will most likely update this review in the future, because of that, for now, I place the game in good-tier.

Pretty cool. Also, the review saying that the MC's dick looks like a rat made me laugh for some 10 minutes, and it's true, it looks kinda weird.
Honestly, the only not ideal things about the game are the brother's models, they look like transgender boys, who also have the height of a 13 yo, as many have pointed out.
I also find the transition of text straining to the eyes, because the pictures change every time. The black box behind the text has a different pattern for each character, which is cool I guess, but if you go quickly it's strenuous to the eyes, as I've said.
The animations are indeed pretty smooth, and the girls are pretty, I appreciate that. If the dev were to ask me for what I would want changed, I would've increased the MC's penis size to look more pleasing, made the twins taller and with less pronounced chests too.

Wow this game is really great. I do like style of story and also Kelly is super HOT! Also this game is not so easy I've missed some scenece at my first time so i'm going to replay it at least few times to open them all.
I'm looking forward about next update!

If you like incest games with good buildup and a grounded tone you will definitely enjoy Summer Story. It's still early in development, but it's in my top 10. This game is full of potential. And the female models are amazing of course.

I like Kasie's design but that's pretty much it.
The twin (Kenny) looks like he has actual tits and looking at the scenes where the MC shows his penis... That's asically supposed to be OUR dick yet it looks like a dead rat.

Version: 0.1.6

A simple but erotic cohabitation VN. Easy to follow along for the eroticism - not much of a story aspect which is fine since the scenes always offer a nice tease.

Graphics
great rendering; good use of shadows, highlights, and colour; skin looks like skin esp with sweat
the locations are refreshing since it's not the same old templates
smooth animation. the quality remains as good as the stills

Characters
two sexy gorgeous girls, love the lowcut bottom wear Kasie always has
and Mia has nice freckled skin
the boys' faces look like they have down syndrome and i don't get the point of them being twins if there isn't any sort of interaction with that quality.

there isn't much in the way of interesting personalities. the boys are seemingly devoid of any interesting qualities (one likes sports, the other likes video games heh) whereas the girls have a little more distinguishing personalities if still a bit 1 dimensional

Content
slice-of-life / day-to-day
slow burn with branching paths - you can miss out on a lot if you playthrough just one path
a lot of tease and ogling - no need to rush sex, better it happens when it makes sense

english translation could be better

All the best to the dev. Great work.

I won't go so far as to trash this game as this seems to be one of the first ventures for the dev but this just needs a ton more work, at least for me

From the parts I have played, the writing/dialogue wasn't as grammatically bad as I was expecting it to be and the animations were actually very fluid, albeit the shot from the back of her walking in the treadmill had her triceps clipping her shoulder

In general, Kasie is attractive but all renders are rather 2 dimensional. Details are kinda flat and make it hard to show facial emotion. Younger brothers are supposed to be at least closer to the same age as Kasie but have the bodies of 10 year olds, heads smaller than that of a baby, and the behavior of 8 year olds. Seeing Kasie and the MC side by side at the gym was rather off-putting. MC was just downsized a bit and his head was shrunken. And on the subject of the MC, if he's going to be involved in any future sexual content, you gotta fix the guy's peen. Lol. It's almost literally a pencil

If the dev is reading this, I don't mean to be an ass and I hate giving critical reviews. You obviously have enough of fan base that enjoys what you put out and that's more power to you - but this just wasn't it for me. Good luck in your future updates

Something is really off with the size of the two ... boys? men? It says they are college age, but they are so much smaller than sister, like dwarves or midgets or something. It's like the dev couldn't make up their mind of they were 10 year old boys or 18 year olds. Sis is lovely, and the graphics is nice and somewhat unusual. The two boys are like robots. No expressions, one dimensional characters. I don't mind "perv on sis" games, but it was so awkwardly done here. I had to quit, because I ended out hating both of the little midget robot guys.

I'm surprised a game with such poor dialogue and renders still got so many positive ratings (considering many games on this website get mowed down for less). Apart from that, I agree with the reviews below and I'm actually looking forward to the next updates.

Pros:

• I love the setting and the story. I'm a sucker for this kind of incest, with a slow build-up and believable character personalities. Also the different paths show a lot of potential at the moment.
• Kasie (the main female character) looks hot and cute.
• The animations look great, which is very promising for the upcoming sex scenes.

Cons:

• Like I mentioned the use of English is poor. I know the dev isn't a native English speaker and he apologizes for it at the start of the game, but an English proofreader would really help a lot. You get used to it though.
• The renders are average but passable. The female characters look good, which is the most important. The little brothers on the other hand are a bit off, like two buff 26yo frat boys were shrunk down to make them look like they're 15. It's a bit odd but just like the dialogue, you get used to it.

Overall, despite the negatives I really enjoyed the game so far. It's rare to find an incest game with a decent build-up and characters that act like real people. Just note that v0.1.3 doesn't contain any sexual content yet and it feels like it still may be a while before we get there.

review for version 0.1.3

Like the other reviewers mentioned the game has a really interesting and partially unique setting. The game is played as a visual novel with branching paths.

The main girl of interest is very attractive and believable.
Renders are quite nice (not daz nice, but as developer is using different rendering engine it is expected).

As of this time there are no sex or explicit scenes in the game, as the game has slow progressing corruption. This I believe garners more interest in the characters. And from what I have seen from content for supporters, future sex scenes should be awesome.

I would like to point out animations, they are very nice an tastefully done. The current animations are for mundane things like working out etc.

The game is being released in english and russian language.

I am basing the score on from what exists and future potential.

Incredible start. The renders are great and the girls are just so beautiful. The sister and her best friend are just so pretty.
The story doesn't devolve into straight up sex which is great as well. There is build up which is a sign fo quality.
It seems there will also be branching options as the story progresses, like which girl to concentrate on? If you aim for one your brother might go for the other one.
Or do you team up with your brother?
Very interesting can't wait for more, so I'll participate on subscribestar or the dev .

Version of game in time of review: 0.1.1.
This game is as many others on this website playing on incest, but this time it's different because you aren't a son trying to fuck all your family, you are older of two twins trying to "start something" with your sister and maybe invite to this your younger twin. Renders are nice. Fingers crossed for great success.

The idea of the game is really good. The plot develop slowly the relationship between the characters. The quality of the graphic could become a bit better, but this doesn’t disturb the atmosphere of the game. At the moment the game is a bit short, more like a teaser. I give this game 4 of 5 stars as a credit for the good potential of the game. Hope to see more updates soon to give this game more substance...

very attractive renders. good setup and i like the writing/story. it is very broken english but the actual story is pretty immersive and could maybe be really good? it's really early to tell.

as an initial release, it really is kinda nothing. no content. extremely short.
