VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[Razrback16]

Well, and the main question of the day, which does not get out of my head.
Could it be that Sasha is Summer?
When I first played the game I tried to understand what's what and why they(Nami and Sasha) have the same earrings.
I thought it was something like a necklace of friendship or love (which is divided into two halves), and even imagined that this could very well have happened between Summer and Nami.
I sort of saved screenshots of Summer's face as a kid and Sasha's face, sitting like a moron and comparing them.
It is clear that the game is not finished, most of the plot is not disclosed at all, and most likely Summer is just somewhere very far away, maybe even dead.

Ok, I didn't reply initially, but I've been thinking about your post here since you made it. I hadn't even caught any of these details you noticed with the earrings, but after reading your post I started wondering about things I'd never really thought of before as they were so hidden in plain sight from my perspective...why are Nami and Sasha together in the disclaimer when the game launches? Sasha is just a non critical character through the first 3.5 chapters that MC barely talks to and is frequently in the background in certain scenes without participating (like with Robin in the gym scene while talking with Bella)...why in the world would she be in that render. Would have made more sense to put Victoria with Nami there unless Sasha has a key role to come.

Furthermore, for those who haven't hit the SG Patreon page, the banner picture looks like this:

An objectively meaningless character to this point who could be a potential LI down the line and with clear traumatic experiences is across the primary banner page for the game called Summer's Gone? There is merit here to your assertion, my friend. Nothing conclusive and could even be a red herring, but certainly things to make you wonder. I suspect Ocean is in his chemlab putting the "Summer Bomb" together to drop on everybody at the most unsuspecting of times.

About she is the prettiest one in the game, you know? just look at my profile picture and you'll automatically know howw much I disagree with you on that lol She's maybe my second best, but I don't know, I don't really pay much attention to how other girls look, I got my full attention on Nami(one and only). So about Bella, I think her storyline plays the main part in how she's grown on me. But, by far it's just Nami and only! Just the fact that she is a redhead sister is already a win

Hah, that's why I made sure to specify 'to me'. I definitely don't expect everyone to agree since attraction is so arbitrary.
I like Nami, she's just not in the top few for me. In just terms of attractiveness, I'd probably rank Amber, Bella / Mila (tie), then an assortment of the other girls like Nadia, Robin, etc. as the top 5.

She is a LI. I do not recall where or when, but I do recall seeing a post in this very thread, along with the discord, about Amber being a LI. I do applaud those capable of ignoring Bella for her mother though. I'm really curious as to how that story will turn out. I'm also interested in what role she will play in MC and Bella's current love story. Two mentally unstable teenagers becoming romantically involved with each other... I'm really interested in how Amber, the psychologist, will handle such a situation.

Fantastic, thanks for confirming this!
And yes, me too - I'm so curious to see how things play out. Amber obviously cares so much about Bella, but given some of Bella's comments about her dad, there's clear issues there that have left Amber alone / isolated so I fully expect some opportunities there from a guy's perspective if MC can play the cards right.
And Amber's obviously tried to help MC with Bella with the yellow flower advice, etc. and the walkthrough guide notes Amber's opinion of MC increases dramatically when he speaks fondly of Bella, etc. Wouldn't shock me to see these two LIs be written to be mutually exclusive.

 

[_A.QH_]

Oh PS I forgot to address this - I am 'assuming' she is because the walkthrough has her listed as receiving "Love Points" - it seems most major characters have "Relationship Points" which probably just has to do with how much they like / respect you, but only a select few seem to have "Love Points". I could be completely wrong, but that's what I am basing my assumption on.

If I remember correctly, Ocean said at first Amber was just a side character, but she got promoted to a semi-main character. She will play a big role in unveiling Summer’s disappearance and the success in the therapy sessions will be a game-changing point. And yes there is a path for her.

 

[Once_Up]

Ocean should answer they are bca

Maybe they like the models that used they might find it attractive if you switch nadia and Bella's models will people like her that much? And avn players already used play those games


That's it we must admit there are only few games wh

Yeah dude I hate non consensual things and harrasments its pretty sensitive for me too

Yeah, My heart for this kinda thing is pretty weak. When I was a kid, I've stumbled upon the Junko Furuto case and I would say that's one hell of a childhood experience even if just reading stories on the internet, it's still disturbing as fuck. After that my attitude on this topic is rather sensitive more than usual.

Ya I had figured the foreshadowing with the upcoming therapy session at "The Cabin" is going to probably result in a big flashback that's going to be pretty heavy in terms of narrative and emotional ramifications. Thanks!

 

[Vidal the king of Pervert]

Ya, on my canon playthrough I focus Bella and just take the little bits of what I can with Nami - as you said it's clear these two conflict.



Hah - separate playthrough for Amber where I have Bella basically friend-zoned / business relationship only as I would not pursue Amber on the canon playthrough where Bella is bae (at least so far), lol.



Ya, I agree, if people need the sex they really have no excuse, I mean when you fire up Summer's Gone the first friggin' thing you see is a disclaimer telling you there's no sex at this point, lol.

friend-zoned Bella FRIEND-ZONED BELLA
I am sorry my brother I can't understand you I do not speak bulshit but apparently you speak it fluently

You'll have to forgive my friend. We can't all be perfect.

I’ll tell you even more about my thoughts about Sasha and all my suspicions. I did not mention this in that message, because I just forgot to finish writing about it, so I have already edited that post 4 times.
All the time I wondered why Sasha was staring so openly at MC ... This was even mentioned in the thoughts of the hero himself, they say "looks straight into the soul", etc. This also aroused great interest in me, she really is not verbose, but the look is awfully suspicious.
And just in part 3.5 there was a moment with a smiling magnet (???) (I'm just not sure what it is, it seems like it looks like a magnet)
It was very strange for me when the MC shuddered and threw this magnet into the air, Sasha noticed this and even focused attention on her at that moment, something like the approach of the camera. This also gave me a strange feeling.
And when MC returned from the rest room again, her look was strange as for me.

I’m most likely winding myself up a lot, but on the other hand, such moments often simply cannot escape my eyes, I don’t know why.
Really damn it, this is the first game that gives me such emotions and interest, sort of like trying to become a detective for myself.

A very important addition to my words in general (I think this is important).
In the first time, after going through the game and writing a couple of good words about it, in that message I focused not on the plot, but more on working with the camera, lighting and musical accompaniment. So this is where I am leading this. Camera work. It’s just a hell of a job done, and it seems to me that all this was done not only for the sake of simple praise.
Maybe, just maybe ... There is a hidden meaning in the camera's operation.

But what can I say in the end about this issue and suspicions towards Sasha.
If we speak purely for the appearance, the face at least, they are different. The iris of the eyes is different, in addition, Sasha has no moles on her face at all. Of course, as I heard, you can remove them with the help of an operation, but why would Summer suddenly need it?

 

[CitDCypher]

Does anybody here know if there will be Amber (Bella's mom) path in the game? While the LI so far are really nice storywise, they don't interest me in that way. Besides Bella of course. She is a S tier waifu. Victoria and Mila just don't attract me physically. Nami definitely is hot but I'm just not into the whole bro/sis (or son/mom or dad/daughter for the fact) incest stuff. Incest needs to be very specific to pique my interest. I try to avoid her as much as possible because being nice to her always ends up in a lewd situation. Hell, even while avoiding her you still end up hugging her while she is bare-breasted. I really don't get why these types of scenes are not fully avoidable when incest isn't the sole focus of your game. I'm not judging anyone who is into that. Just give us people who aren't into it an option. But enough about that. Is there going to be an Amber path? I wouldn't mind a Sasha or Zara path either. Besides Bella, these three definitely are my favorites.

I really love the speculating and the conversations about some of the mysteries purposely planted by Ocean for us, but he's already confirmed Sasha not being Summer. It's been brought up dozens of times before, but he has shot down that possibility in his discord server. Do continue speculating though, as there are many more little things here and there left for us to analyze

Edit: This does not mean that she's unrelated to Summer(as a character). That much, I think we can confirm. I think it's quite possible that she is connected to Summer, albeit in ways we have yet to understand.

Of course, I agree with you. I don't read threads myself very often, rather, I just sometimes write my thoughts about and without and sometimes reply to replies to my messages)
But yes, I already realized for myself that Sasha is not Summer, but I still wanted to write my thoughts about all this)
Anyway, Summer is an incredible outsider for me at the moment, even if, purely hypothetically, she suddenly appears, I don't think I can experience any positive feelings at this moment.
The guy has already suffered enough because of her, and as for me it's time to move on and do not give a damn about her reasons.
Honestly, it will even be much more painful if she suddenly appears with her husband or boyfriend from another country or where she disappeared there. (God forbid, this part of my message will be seen by Ocean)
I would personally lynch her for such a thing at the moment. Better not to show up at all.

Ya it sounds like Amber is a confirmed official LI from some earlier posts in this thread. Great taste my friend.

Thanks for that, had not seen that, so it's good to know that one is not possible if already officially debunked by the man himself.

If sasha was summer it will be easier way to attach MC with summer again with no sudden appearance and consequences,I initially believed she was summer but no I don't think she is and that was supposed to be eraser isn't it?

I demand the facepalm reaction for the reviews. I just... don't know what to say anymore...

"Story driven?" Sign me up!!!

Because no one has reported those games. But all it takes is one pissed off person to report it & Patreon will suspend the devs page, because anyone looking at the code will see taboo stuff is included within the Patreon release & is just hidden by variables.

Summer's Gone has no incest in the main release code. Hence no problems if Patreon looks at it. As long as there's a clear distinction between the dev and the 'evil modder' Patreon has no evidence the taboo stuff has anything to do with the dev.

Yeah, I've seen cases where the patch merely changes the variable "Incest" to "true." Fortunately, Patreon doesn't comb through the code, but it does make it pretty indefensible if investigated. "But that variable was already in the code I copy and pasted--I didn't realize what it was there for. Really!"

I know you put it in quotations. And understand what you are saying. But you don't have sex accidentally. You both agree to it, Or it's gonna fall in the rape category

Another point it's mostly the porn industry who popularized incest. With the step bro step sis and mom stuff. If you just browse PH you get wacked with all the incest stuff

I see (step) incest and school stories are shortcuts. It allows one to put a number of potential partners "confined" under one roof without having to deal why they met or dating or any other normal aspect of relationships. They also come with built-in taboo power differentials.

Oh my...

 

[Terminator_26F]

I always thought Amber was going to play a big part, just because she's just as capable, if not more, of attracting men with her full-blown female beauty. His daughter has to worry about it when I see the MC casually lying in his arms during his psychotherapy sessions ... and I'm very happy because I don't like Bella !

 

[Violet Lee]

oh my God yes brother she made me feel so alive.with every insult How did you know

Yeah Katie Zane is great, hopefully we get to see her in Summer's Gone.

No way she's forgotten. It's just not her time to shine yet. Remember we still have a movie night with her and Vic?

But man, that lighting technique in the second pic is incredible
