I believe that Summer's gone is related to Nika and Nami's real parents accident. I've only played Bella's path and with Patreon's censorship I still don't understand if Nami is the blood-sister, half-sister or what. Some characters ask him why she came out as a redhead and Nika makes some joke or changes the subject so it's not clear to me. Since what age have they lived together? etc.
I think this whole issue is the final mystery for chapters 28-32, for now more LI and other characters + college competitions will be introduced

Please no, one Acting Lessons is enough for the world
I do think we will see how it ties in with WIAB, most likely the trauma will be related to that. Until more of that side of the story unfolds, Ocean will keep us guessing; if there's no mystery behind the title, the story will be less compelling. Our need for complettion and understanding why all this begain, what it is and why that has meant Summer is gone almost needs to stay unknown, like whaever is in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction, or Keyser Soze in the Usual Suspects. Something unknown will keep us engaged for a long time, once it's revealed these plot devices will seem small and ordinary. RIght now they're casting massive shadows for our imaginations.
It's totally possible Nami was involved, maybe she said something that triggered Nika and Summer, fleeing. What is the cabin? A derelict place? Given they can visit it, presumably uninhabited, so maybe Summer and Nika fled and got caught up in something. I'm not sure that makes Nami much darker than any other jealous room mate... Given Nami is a major part of a story about healing, she can only start dark; it'll be complicated with her, but the process will be how she also heals. We've already seen that in the way she needs Nika, and how Nika talks to her at the lake. Nika is capable of helping her leave her insecurities behind, so she too can get over Summer and her guilt.

Well, we just have to wait for the episode where MC is having his therapy session in the cabin, I guess.
Anyway, I wonder why everybody's arguing about what really happened to Summer, but no one's asking about the "other mystery" in this story, that is what happened to Bella's sister.
Sept release is the current ETA.
This from the Aug 23rd Dev Log:
I'll see you in two weeks with most likely great news...

It's called trolling without putting effort in it.

I will be probably September update, beta. Full probably in November or around Christmas... At least that's all for Season one. Season 2 ch.1 probably April 2024. It should get a little faster without reworking earlier chapters. WIAB is near completion too.
Well, flank ahead Ocean...

yeah love it. Curious how much content would he put in 5.0 considering this should be the end of SS 1. Would we reach to the party with Nadia and Nancy ? Though it doesn't seem very likely considering the pacing of the VN so far but i don't know if he wants to leave it for the following update

Is his first sesion with the therapy in the cabin? I don´t know nothing about the old version but do you think guys Mc will discover everything in his past with one sesion? I was thinking that maybe he sees some things but probably this discover come with more doubts than answers.

Just too lazy to explain. Projecting your own flaws onto other people is a common error a lot of people tend to make.
Yup, same thing.

As far as I know he suffers panic attacks, not amnesia like every other MC who goes to hospital near the start of a VN
so chances are he knows what he remembers but he avoids thinking about it or triggering it. But it doesn't mean that whatever happened to make Summer 'gone' happened then. Possible explanation, both he and Summer experienced the same violent episode, and Summer's parents took her away before Nika got out of hospital. All he'd know in that situation is that no one can tell him what happened to Summer, even though his last memory is about the violence or whatever.Also, considering he's thinking about using the money to get Emilio to help find info, Nika doesn't know what happened to Summer other than she's gone and no one will tell him what happened (after he got hospitalised or whatever). I think the session in the cabin will bring clarity about what Nika saw and his persepctive of what happened, but the therapy isn't going to be recovering his memories but him confronting them.
He's probably avoided the subject: Nami seemed hesitant to talk about the violent episode, so he seems to bury topics he can't deal with. It's only take one episde for him to have a panic attack at the cabin, and Ocean can do a hindsight memory reveal while Nika has an episode. But it doesn't mean we'll know the full story.

Oh, has he revised his plans to rework chapters 3 and 4? I was holding off on this because he was fiddling with the earlier chapters again. This would be great news if he's focusing on new content.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Afaik there was never plans to rework chapter 3 or 4, some minor stuff will be fixed from chapter 3 but that comes with the chapter 2 rework.
So basically when chapter 5 full comes there will be no reworks any more.

If you mean, did Ocean announce plans to completely rework chapters 3 and 4, then I haven't heard anything like that either. Here's what he actually said about the reworks:
