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

What can I say?
The story with the MC trying to get out of his misery mental state is breathtaking. The mystery of Summer really gets you going. The animations are banging, the female models look amazing and their characters are so unique and fitting.

I really love Nami, since her childish personality is opposing to ours, but she fits so well. I hate that she's the sister, because I'd love to see some lewd scenes with her but I doubt this game will use incest.

The animations also rock, but sometimes are a bit too much. What I mean by that is for instance the last one which shows us preparing for our date. It took like what, a whole minute? That's a lot!

Who cares if there is basically no sexual content this plot is by far one of the best on this site and is guaranteed to keep you hooked and wanting more. First the psychological aspects of the game really speak to you and resonate with you. Each character is very unique and has their own story and the plot always leaves you wanting more and coming back for more.

Deep story, attractive and lovable characters, written such that you can sympathize with MC.
Content kinda edgey.. No sexual scenes as of chapter 3, though everything is kinda sexy already. Came back for the story!

wow, really really good, the characters seem like actual people and not just dolls. Didn't see a single vagina during my first play through but didn't mind it at all because i was honestly interested in the story

Browsed some already good VNs here, some with a good story, some with high render quality, some with deep characters. Few of them hitting 2/3 of the named points with high level, but this game .. to make sure wrong pick if you just lookn for a fap ... hit all 3 points at a amazing level, can't wait for more

I played a ton of games on this site and "Summer's Gone' is for me by far the best of all that games. I'm really into the characters and the story is interesting and that is really rare for a sexgame.

5/5 Renders
5/5 Story
5/5 Characters
5/5 Flow

Maaan, finished current version and i wish I had a time machine to travel to the future and play this game when it's completed, it is amazing! Great work!
I'm so amazed with all the characters, all have emotions, motivations and back stories, and the MC is badass af, i really like this game, i wish success for the dev.
p.s. Bella is love, Bella is life

Wow, what an experience. I think I have never played a whole game without skipping a thing, except being a dik. Such an amazing and interesting story, full of intense moments and beautiful scenes. Good job to the developer and of course you deserve my 10$ per month. Well done!

This has to be one of my favourite games atm . The renders and overall graphics are excelent, the story line is so promising and the girls are gorgeous with their own personality . Oceanlab did a fantastic job with this game and I for one am impressed and hope he will continue on the same path with futures updates .

One of the most amazing game I've had the pleasure of playing, the graphics, art style, writing, music and the tone off atmosphere is on point. I can't wait to see how it turns out and I'm looking forward to more of your works

Top Notch game!

If there was an 'AAA' release game, this would 100% qualify as one.

It has many strong points: a Great story, interesting characters, cool graphics, unique animations for events/scenes, 'hot' scenes, (well, music needs more input)

What can you ask for more?
Just play the game to find out

damn this game have a beautiful story! mc is literally broken at the very beginning (i'm not talking about the flashback with summer) and it's seem you have the option to continue being one or improve your own situation with choices which is the thrill im looking for! the reason i love choice matter game!

One of the best games i've played so far. Usually i skip a lot of text in those games but in this one i read everything with interest. Really like character development, the visuals and the story as a whole. Can't wait for the next update.

I honestly can't describe how good this VN is. This VN does have some flaws here and there, an example would be spelling errors and such, but that's nothing you can't fix. And hey if you're someone reading through the reviews wondering if you should play it, then do it, seriously this game is amazing. So with all of this being said, I'll be happily awaiting the upcoming updates. This game gets 5 forbidden apples

This is a beautiful game. Oceanlab is on par with the AAA game porn VN designers in beauty, story and plot. This game is not perfect, and we’re still being blue-balled, but for anyone who enjoys a good story and a slow burn you should absolutely invest some time (and maybe $$) into this game

Pros

Absolutely beautiful renders
Absolutely beautiful animations
Good use of soundtrack during animations to bring them to real life.
Diverse and awesome characters (with some more coming). All types for you to like.
Great plot that makes me quite interested to see how it will all unfold.
Branching storyline where choices seem to really matter.


Cons

Some of the background sounds are over-poweringly loud and the game could use more music in the future (minor quibble)
Typos and poor grammar/word structure with enough frequency to be noticeable.
Some out-of-place Japanese-isms, like “hihi” which kind of throw off the game, which is clearly not set in Japan.
The dialog at the beginning of the story can be a little jarring. MC is a total fucking psychopath. I mean it works for the plot and you get used to it. It also becomes less of an issue as the game progresses.

Edit: Grammatical clarity.

Absolutely amazing gameplay and story line, even my wife was upset about not being able to play further when reaching the end of Ch3 and that's saying something about the game because she's very conservative.

i got so invested in the story i was really dissapointed when i reached the end of the latest version and now im chomping the bitt for the rest of the story, im not even bothered if theres no H scenes for the rest of it. its got the mking of a short story i would rally like and i breaks away from a few of the norms when i comes to these kinda VNs

Came for the story and was not disappointed. There are certainly some thematic elements that may turn off some folks but i didn't feel they were over-used but instead enhanced the experience. Ocean's renders are excellent and I very much enjoyed the variety of settings and environments - again all things that just help with investment in the story. Very excited for the next chapters!

Good story with some mystery elements, great writing, beautiful and well-written girls, great renders with some high-quality animations sprinkled in between... this game is top-notch. The only negative is that this isn't a harem game... that means I will have to break the heart of some of these girls, which makes me sad just thinking about it.

An absolutely great game with great renders and enjoyable content. I played also another visual novels but this one hit different . Another thing that makes this game great is the story that doesn't focus on sex, otherwise it focuses on the dramatic structure and makes the story more interesting.
