Gameplay:

Take Advantage of Unlocked Choices to Explore Alternate Realities: Use the unlocked choices to intentionally guide your character through drastically different emotional paths, helping you understand how fragile and fluid each relationship really is.

Use Unlimited Saves to Map Emotional Outcomes: Create multiple save files around key decisions so you can watch how each choice affects not only the current scene but future relationships and major character reactions over time.

Revisit Previously Locked Scenes for Full Character Insight: With the gallery and hidden scenes now accessible, take the time to explore backstory-rich moments that flesh out characters like Nami, Bella, and more in ways you might’ve missed before.

Choose Conflict and Reconciliation Paths to See Contrast: Now that you aren’t punished for experimentation, choose emotionally aggressive or cold responses, then replay with empathetic ones to feel the contrast in tone and pacing.

Use Mod Tools for Faster Navigation or Replays: Some versions of the mod come with built-in fast-forward or dialogue skip features—these are useful when you’re replaying a familiar scene and want to quickly reach new content.

Engage With All Side Characters Equally: Even minor characters in the mod can surprise you—unlocked scenes may contain emotional insights or relationship-altering information that never appears in the standard playthrough.

Be Strategic About Emotional Alignment: Now that you can test every route, try creating "themed playthroughs"—one where you always choose forgiveness, another where you embrace isolation, and another for pure romance.

Keep Track of Story Versions: Since there are multiple mod builds floating online, make sure to stick to the one that matches your play style (e.g., story-focused, 100% unlock, or developer-beta)—each can offer subtle differences in experience.

Game Reviews:

Trauma Always Finds Away

I am going to be careful when talking about the plot of Summer’s Gone as this is an erotic visual novel that has some very well done storytelling. We play as an MC who is of college age and despite being a standout athlete, his life is not exactly going the way that he thought it would. The MC does take a while to warm up to as he is a bit of a standoffish kind of character at first. However, that is intentional as this is a game that is a very slow burn kind of experience and we grow to find that he had some troubles in his past that he cannot seem to shake.

Finding The Right Kind Of Love

With a title like Summer’s Gone, you know that there is some kind of mystery at play here. There is a girl that we like and just like us, she is dealing with some pretty serious stuff. There is a love interest called Bella who I feel the story is trying to push me towards, but you do chat with other characters as well. Some characters do get more time than others, but I do love how the writing feels more natural here and it is not just good looking young people trying to get laid all of the time. I do get that this slower approach to storytelling is not going to be for everyone, but I was really engaged and connected to what was happening here.

Fate Is What We Make It

Summer’s Gone is a visual novel so that should let you know what kind of experience you are in for as far as the gameplay goes. Most of your experience with this will be reading the story and then you get a few choices to make along the way. Some of these choices are quite interesting. You have some that are pretty obvious in the kind of thing that they will lead to. However, I liked how the game kept me on my toes with some choices that were a bit more on the cryptic side where you did not know for sure what consequences your actions or words would have. I feel it is this part of the game that could make a repeat playthrough a pretty fun experience.

Show & Tell

I was very impressed with how cinematic a visual novel Summer’s Gone turned out to be. The way that the camera will move and the very expensive facial expressions the characters have do a great job of helping you get even more invested in this story and world. The characters are all designed really well and while I do think that the MC needs to see a barber about what he has going on with his hair. The characters all have a realistic look to them which I like. The game does not have any sex scenes in it as I write this so it is certainly more erotic than fully lewd. However, this did not bother me at all and if we do get an actual sex scene in the next season/chapter, it will feel even more impactful.
