Everlasting Summer Reviews

I am fairly new to visual novels, but I am a big fan of story led games so I was quite excited about Everlasting Summer. Sadly, it didn't do it for me. I only played 30 min before giving up. Anime breasts popping up everywhere triggered my anime-breast-sensitive epilepsy I think. Wish they put a warning. Ok, the story is fairly immersive from the start, the graphics are beautiful and atmospheric, and the concept interesting, but the text needs to be edited to the point where it is cut down by at least half. That being said, if you persevere you can get into the flow (and eventully encounter big friendly anime breasts) My understanding of this game's storyline is: 'man feels his life is hopeless but something surreal happens and he can now meet all these stereotypical women whose sole purpose is to change his life and maybe shag him'. Tear jerker. After 20min, The poorly edited text is too draining, and my anime-breast-epilepsy too easily triggered; it is hard to keep my interest in the storyline, since the story line is 'how many hot girls can I fall in love with -and shag?' It's a shame cause I don't mind sexual content in game, but the sexual content in Everlasting Summer feels sneaky and pointless. I read somewhere the game's explicit sexual content had to be removed to be on Steam, which probably messed with how the game should feel as a whole, and would explain why I was so confused and seizing while playing it. Maybe on a different platform this game would have been advertised as a ponographic or erotica game (with a good old 'all the interchangeable women who changed my life when they shagged me' story in it). So, random anime girls whose sole, deep desire is to shag you, just because your sad self fell asleep on a bus? Yes. Complex story about the meaning of life and love? Not sure, but I'm still seizing. I know a lot of people got hooked on the story and alternative endings, and I respect that, I just know that's not going to be me. Looking forward to trying more visual novels, just not this one.

It's a Visual Novel, but very Russian! This is free and really good for what I've played so far. It's worth at least trying if you have any interest in Visual Novels. The premise is that a man takes a bus to a camp for youths in the past. I wish it had music, but there's plenty of great music you can find to add to the game. Personally I listened to a lot of Wintergatan as I played. I will update when I've finished more, but really just try it. No harm done.

An absolutely amazing, life changing game. It'd be incredibly difficult to put into words how one feels after completing this game.

I think this is one of the best games I have ever played in my entire life, maybe it is the best. It includes awesome music, great backgrounds, sexy girls [spoiler](you might think only as a look, but also for the actions taken and smartness, because being smart is actually sexy ;) )[/spoiler] and a very impressing storyline wich touched me completely and actually changed my life somehow... In a good way :)... The way that everyone interacts and that you feel that you are living the game is just amazing. I played my favorite [spoiler]route[/spoiler] even twice to get more motivated. Those who made the game and decided to put it available for free have a very BIG THUMBS UP from me. Great job!

Once you get past the animation in this visual novel it becomes something that pulls you in and leaves you wondering what will happen next. The music, while repetitive, is very well done and beautiful. The story starts off slightly bland and lacking of much "action" but it soon changes and you will find yourself hoping you are making the right choices. There are many different endings and experiences for every play through and they are all very well done One of the best visual novels I have ever played (which is quite a fair amount) ITS FREE!

This game does have some minor grammar and spelling issues, but it is by far the BEST visual novel I have ever played. I got the Alisa bad end.... and it quite honestly and sincerely broke my heart. the game is full of touching moments and has no shortage of conflict. It is in all meanings of the word, aa masterpiece. I sincerely recommend anyone that likes romance-comedies to definitely play this game. You will surely not regret it. I give my thanks to the team that worked .... no.... TOILED, on this game.

Best choices matter game i have EVER played on steam. it has a fantastic story with different routes (which i always love if done corretly) amazing soundtrack, amazing characters which are easy too get invested into. 10/10 try the game.

Excellent visual novel which hooks you quite early in the story. Honestly suprised this is a free game, as it's of such a high standard. What also makes this visual novel interesting is that it's based in Soviet Russia which is something I personally have very little exposure to. Worth downloading and reading through at least once. For you completionists out there, the game is engaging enough and the endings diverse enough to justify sinking in the extra hours.

I'm lost for words here, this visual novel is amazing. It's (and I can confidently say) the best visual novel I've read so far. At the beginning I wasn't gonna write a review because the game was old (late 2014) but I had to. I enjoyed every single moment of reading it. I'm absolutely recommending this to anyone who has the SLIGHTEST interest in visual novels. It's free and good. What more do you want?

Oh man, what a story !!! From what I get, it has several endings, I only got 2 and I'm already mind-fucked. This game; or visual novel to be exact, is a must have. Great story, great music and great art. Play it, you won't regret and it's free !!
