I think Bella's sister is in the same place as Summer, in Paradise.Talking about Bella's father.
Do you think Bella's sister is dead, or maybe that her father took her sister when he left?

That's a nice theory but I doubt it since Bella is a completely broken because of the traumatic event that she had with her little sister and its a problem that even her mother, one of the best psychologists, couldn't fix. Even us we dont know anything specific of that event yet. The only way for her to be happy is the people around the MC specially Victoria I guess that will be the person that Bella needs to be able to move on. Im really excited to see how that's gonna happen. What I like about this game's story is that everyone is connected to something bad in the past and they are helping each other without even knowing, even Amber noticed that.Talking about Bella's father.

can't wait to see a bonding scene with Bella/Vic... it will be fucking funnyThat's a nice theory but I doubt it since Bella is a completely broken because of the traumatic event that she had with her little sister and its a problem that even her mother, one of the best psychologists, couldn't fix.

This is why Bella is one of my favorite characters in any VN I ever played. Unlike say, Quinn from BaDIK, Bella allows herself to show vulnerability and moments of kindness without freaking out. The only moments we see her truly losing it is when she is confronted about her feelings for MC and her past, but asides from that she's not afraid to show how she appreciates her friends. She also assures MC (whether we romance her or not), that she never judges people who seek for help, or how she went to help MC without hesitation at the gym. What I find a shame is that only a romanced Bella can be advised to 'try to redeem herself with Brenda", but yeah. She doesn't follow the stereotypical trope of 'girl who seems insane and dangerous but has a good heart deep inside', she has more to it.One of the many things I enjoy about Summers Gone is the complex story.
Ocean gives us easter eggs and hints and I find some of them only on repeated playthroughs, like the find below.
This scene takes place in the dinner bathroom when Bella and the MC are trying to steal data from Brenda, the professor from a rival college who is having dinner with Stefan Holgerson, their target and a predator they are trying to protect Amber from.
FYI - Bella and Brenda already know each other on a first name basis.
In spite of what Bella has said before, she Can feel regret, which is one of the things I like about her; the first and last image show this.

What did Bella do in the past that causes Brenda to respond this way?

And Bella quickly cuts off that line of thought because she does not want the MC to hear it - she knows he is way too quick to catch things and his curiosity is not something Bella wants delving into that part of her past.

This was just a short part of the dinner scene, but it had some nice character development for Bella as well as another mystery... a bread crumb for the future.
While that is possible, I don't know how Bella's Dad could drive away - what with the red tipped cane.I think Bella has nothing to do with it, it seems to me that Brenda reminds Bella that her father also left Amber for a young model, and that's why Bella silences her.
using the analogy from the game, Quinn is actual two faced bitch, while Bella is notThis is why Bella is one of my favorite characters in any VN I ever played.

And then you have Mila aswell coming from a poor family mistreated by the rich and yet she protected Bella from getting bullied. Its gonna be fun and interesting to see how Bella develops this upcoming friendships.can't wait to see a bonding scene with Bella/Vic... it will be fucking funny
Yes, we don't know a lot about their father, but Bella despite him. Remember, at least going by appearance, that Bella sister seems to be her twin. If whatever happen in the past resulted of her father leaving while taking her sister to never be seen again, it can count as a traumatic experience.That's a nice theory but I doubt it since Bella is a completely broken because of the traumatic event that she had with her little sister and its a problem that even her mother, one of the best psychologists, couldn't fix.

There's still just a few Lewd Scenes and no Sex Scenes yet. The closest we get is still just Nami in the Jacuzii. It's been said that Sex Scenes won't be in Season 1.Is this game getting reworked? How much time will it take to get reworked fully? Because I'll pick it up when it's reworked and does this game really doesn't have any lewd scenes yet? And one last thing i saw a uncensored patch on the main page, is that incest patch for the main girl?
Sorry for so many questions.
I don't think the basketball guys are a counterbalance, at least not yet. They haven't made their presence felt anywhere in the relationships really, just either spectators or hint droppers. They may well be in the future, but it feels unbalanced to me now.The counterbalance is the basketball boys. The game cannot go 50:50 screen time between girls and guys because obviously the focus of the relationship would be the girls and not the guys.
In general, I'd usually agree with you that I'm not a fan of too many girls. There are so many games that introduced like 10 girls from the start and I thought they could benefit from being reduced down to 5 or so instead. However, specifically for Summer's Gone (and a few other select high-quality games), I don't mind that it has so many girls because of the way they are presented. In most other games, what we have would be 10 girls that are just on rotation where we get some scene with girl A, then girl B, etc. That breaks the flow of the game because those girls often exist as if exclusively and individually for the MC. In Summer's Gone, those characters are all part of the same existence because they interact with multiple different groups fulfilling different roles in potentially multiple plot points.
A few examples:
1. We were introduced to Ayua as Bella's friend, but we immediately got Ayua paired with Nami for the group project to kickstart the interaction between MC and Ayua. Her character wasn't pigeonholed as Bella's sidekick which then allowed her to be a more neutral character that can be a voice of reasoning to the complicated Bella/MC relationship instead.
2. Robin is a duo with Sasha. We get to see her being a victim of the gossip along with MC, then being an antagonist by tricking MC to help Zara/Nadia, but also going against Zara/Nadia by informing Bella/Marla. She is also a potential housemate with MC, Nami, and Mila. She does a lot.
3. The connection between plots where we get to see Mila being insulted by Mario that then led to MC working with Bella to sneak into Mario's house because Bella doesn't want Amber to be with Mario's dad which then led to MC/Bella trying to get more information from Vanessa. All this while also having other related plot points such as Amber/Mario's dad plot, MC meeting up with Elsa, Vanessa potentially being a future step sister, and maybe more.
In most other games, a character like Ayua would be one dimensional Bella's sidekick who exist only with MC and Bella. Similarly with Robin/Sasha. Plot points are also often unrelated to one another where MC interacts with each LI individually as if they only exist when with MC but not with each other. In Summer's Gone, all these characters are part of the big picture and they have lives that don't have to revolve around the MC.
Due to the reasoning above, I don't find this off-putting at all. I actually consider this as an amazing strong point of the game.
I can't say whether this will make paths to convoluted going forward because it isn't clear yet how the paths will be done for most of the characters, but I think LI-path-wise, it could be done as simple as having a point where MC will have to choose who he wants to be serious with (and breaking up with whoever else he was in relationship with at that point, if any) before the path move forward.
I'm definitely interested to see how the story would unfold that could lead to the more complicated potential LI such as Vanessa (how could she be convinced to break up with Mario to then end up with someone who is potentially her step brother by that point?) or Amber (how could she date a patient? how could she date her daughter's classmate? how could Bella give the OK for this?) and others that have complicated situation too. So far, I'm really enjoying the writing and the storytelling. I'm just going to enjoy the ride and see where the Ocean goes.

At this point I don't know if it's Ocean dropping hints, or it's all just a coincidence since he's just merely tweaking some models that he already has to create new characters. But I love to speculateHi!
Your point 1 I see similar. There is a very high chance that Nami/Nika are. I doubt Nami, a major character of SG, would have gotten this model if it is not some sort of hint. The resemblance is very strong.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Point 3: Well seen! Definite possibility that Vicki is related to the girl at the petrol station. Might be pure chance, but it could be.

Temporary Note: Yes, I know it's not linked in the OP. Some of you know why. If you want it there then put in a request.
But we do know Vic's last name is Frohn, and the Frohn's were seen in the original WiaB at Relucia. Based on how Noji reacts to the Frohn name, I'm pretty sure the Frohn's haven't been seen in the reworked WiaB yet. Chances are WiaB is Willy impregnating everyone, populating Wollust single handledly or causing everyone's parents to die and starting every trauma, like the best daddy ever...Sup.
