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

[Darkdevil66]

That's fine but I just found the whole intro scene jarring honestly. It creeped me out. Always did, still does a little. I don't see that as normal child behavior.

But that's the spider part that disturbed you ?

Wait are you seriously asking? Or just joking around?

I feel like I've answered this a million times. But here it goes again. Few reasons why Summer is a disgustingly awful child:

- Befriends Nami only to basically turn on her to the point of treating her like shit.
- Her idea of entertainment is pitting 2 animals against each other and watching them fight
- Her idea of "flirting" is physical violence
- Treats her own little cousin like shit too

And all this is after Ocean softened her up quite a bit. I don't really blame her as all children are a product of their upbringing but I refuse to go easy on her either. Also this is not specific to Summer. I've been very outspoken about both of Ocean's protagonists being huge pieces of shit too.

On the Summer topic, for a while, a few years ago, I was even entertaining the idea of the MC's trauma being accidentally killing Summer trying to break up an argument between her and Nami. And then him and Nami hiding the body but the MC having forgoten the whole thing due to how traumatizing it was. That ship sailed too, sadly. I would have enjoyed Summer being actually dead dead and having no shot at appearing in the story later.

lmao i see. Thats harsh

(i like summer)

And bro, its not like its easy to keep up with all the girls you dislike, im picky myself but you are on a different level, so give me a break

That's mostly because the WIAB kids grew up with Dylan forcing brutal competitions between them, and trying to toughen them up for their future life of crime. It wasn't helped (in the original story) by all the hidden incest and sibling rivalry between Leia and Katie. At a guess, I don't think Leia was a total cunt (to anyone except Katie and Monica) until after Will abandoned her when they were 16 (and without explaining or contacting her in any way for years). It definitely made more sense with them being incestuous twins than it does now...

I feel like it's implied both Leia and William were assholes by how they treated Katie. And that was before William left. But yeah like I said I don't fault the children entirely because their upbringing plays a big part in who they become.

Like I said it was a different game back then
And God I fucking miss crackhead Nami

No no no! Give ME a break! It's a fairly short list and hasn't changed much in years!
From SG I'm neutral about most characters. I strongly dislike Summer, Nia and Zara. Then comes the tier with the Cyrill bitches, Kate, Miriam etc... After that comes the characters that are slowly being "fixed" like Marla and Amber.

Ok just basically, right now it's Summer, Nia, Zara... That's it. But worry not I'm sure Leia will take the lead on my hate list as soon as she shows up in SG. Wouldn't mind bashing that bitch's skull in...

I mostly shit on the chubby cripple to fuck with Mavi Even though I kinda wish she wasn't so annoyingly sweet and naive. But I'd carry her chubby ass around all day and night for a single shot at her sister

And Mila...I really wish we didn't have to move in with her. It bothers me how preachy and judgy she is. Then there's the whole circus freak body type thing. Me no likey.

That's it. I like them both as friends to the MC. Not at all as LI's though. They are nowhere near the Summer, Nia, Zara tier. Those three I don't even want so see on my screen

Yooo but you see my problem right? It was about keeping up with your dislike of LI's. And now youre explaining your dislike tierlists for the girls ...

(i feel exactly the same with vic and mila btw )

Yikes. Y'all are just... I would "ignore" y'all, but it's too entertaining to read this stuff.

Can someone spoil me, is there any sex scenes here or nah?
The tags are rather sparse and while I'm all for slow burn games if there is none in 6 years I'd rather go for something else.

No sex, just story. Some kissing. Heavy petting. One four-way-makeout session. Optional hand-holding.

That's fine but I just found the whole intro scene jarring honestly. It creeped me out. Always did, still does a little. I don't see that as normal child behavior. Whatever Ocean tried to portray there it missed the mark with me. I lean towards future psycopaths more than well adjusted young adults. I think that scene is partly a remnant of a game that doesn't exist anymore but was kept because "fuck it".

Not getting into the debate about "Summer, Y/N" but this bit. It's a dream of someone who is traumatised by the elements of the dream. It should be jarring. If Summer disintergrated at the end of it before Nika woke up (after he realised he was kissing a zombie that was now trying to eat him tongue first) that would have been so wonderfully Capcom. And it wouldn't prove Summer was dead or alive, just that NIka has a fucked up brain that dreams weird obsessive shit.

So that intro scene says a lot about NIka, how he views Summer more than how SUmmer actually is. Mayb Nika's the actual one who likes pitting spiders against each other, just like he did the photo of Nami's dead hamster? I just hope Ocean doesn't lean too much into the dream aspect of it: "and then Nika woke up" vibes are a cheap way to resolve some of those issues. Dreams are the brain trying to process what overwhelms its thought process during the day, after all.

Yikes. Y'all are just... I would "ignore" y'all, but it's too entertaining to read this stuff.

Save ignores for the true stars of the zone who talk about DAZ and Blender in non-art/assets threads This stuff is actually awesome to debate instead. If people have spent time developing a detailed opinion about SG's characters or story, chances are they'll notice things I didn't. Helps to give me perspective outside my own biases/prejudices/preconceptions.
