Everlasting Summer (Video Game 2013)

Everlasting Summer is a free-to-play Russian visual novel by Soviet Games  released in 2014. The girls seem to be part of the problem as well, to some extent, diverting his attention away from finding answers to his conundrum and drawing him more into the affairs of the world he finds himself in. Yet, even so, as Semyon quests through the camp looking for a way out, over the course of normal events he usually finds himself growing closer and closer to them anyways.

The backgrounds are very well done indeed, but it's with the characters themselves and the occasional picture that includes them as the main point where I feel things are let down a bit. So I stopped watching the stream, downloaded the game (for free, a lot of charity points earned there) and started exploring.

Thank you for bringing it to iOS, I played the pc version and that was too good for words. Meeting Semyon, the game's main character, you would've never paid attention to him. One of the things that people will have noticed is that I tend to criticize free games for being too short.

It wasn't difficult at all to figure out, although I have yet to see a scene where I actually lose the game (probably what I get for playing a lot of Gwent). Structurally, Everlasting Summer is a route-based VN. In the majority of routes, you spend seven days in the camp.

All of the characters feel like the same characters from the first game (even Ulyana still acts the same, although the game does acknowledge that it's odd behavior from someone her age) and the story, while simple, is a surprisingly strong one, giving a very good follow up on the original story that doesn't override the previous endings much (there's no character didn't get with you” stuff here: it's actually fairly open enough that you could feasibly believe that any of the good endings happened) while still offering a decent amount of replayability.

For Slavya, Ulyana and Alisa, Semyon returns to the real world without them, but takes the lessons he learned from them (respectively, appreciating life and the people in it, taking joy in the world and following his passions, and that music is a passion worth pursuing) to heart and makes something of himself (is a happier and nicer person who gets out more, goes back to university and studies a topic he loves, learns to play the guitar again and founds his own band, eventually having their first big concert), eventually meeting the girls in the real world.

No matter how good your game is, no one wants to play the same content that many times. I can't complain too much in good spirit because it is a free game and originally started out as a game for forum characters, but, speaking as a critic, this is one of the areas where I would have expected better than I got.

According to the walk-through, this is a visual novel in which you have to finish the game multiple times, seven in this case ending up VideoGameFails with a different girl each time, to get the true ending”. Neither any of the characters, the narration, or even the display of the name of which character is speaking, ever calls her by anything other than both her names — which is exactly how students always refer to their teachers in Russia.

Not only that, but the game also has quite the history on Eastern European imageboards, since it spent a lot of time in development. You might be interested in taking a look at our first game, Everlasting Summer, that was a huge success and the most downloaded visual novel ever on Steam.
