    Just a short review.

    This game was my first introduction on AVN, I started playing this around 2017 when my friend mentioned me about Summertime Saga. It was a good game and it still is. The story, characters development, free roam gameplay, art style, etc are so good, but I had to give this game two stars because I dislike what DarkCookie does to this game for the past two years.

    He doesn't do anything for that amount of time, the progress always stuck around 80% and if it goes up, he will put it down to 80% again for some stupid reason. This "tech update" seems unecessary, he put a poll years ago regarding to it and asked his people to vote for tech update instead of progressing the story even further. It was a mistake, big mistake.

    I swear man, we'll get GTA VI or perhaps even Half Life 3 before the tech update comes out.

    Great game of its time. Average game at the moment.

    Pros:
    • This is a big game with lots of characters to enjoy.
    Cons:
    • This game had some nice visuals at the beginning of development, but the new art style looks like shit to be honest, maybe not the art style itself more the character design.
    • I don't like how the writing and the story aged. The story itself is what makes me want to give this game a 2 star rating to be honest.
    • I highly doubt that this game is enjoyable or even playable without a walkthrough.
    • This game features boring and very time consuming grind.
    • It's not exactly the con, but I have to point out the extreme vanilla nature of the latest updates, this game is basically sterilized.
    • As usual with harem games, there are too many characters; too many new characters to flesh them out and make them unique and interesting. That's true from both a design and story perspective.
    Right now the development is in a milking pace, so I have no hope that this game will change for the better at any point in time, unfortunately.

    This game may have warranted a 4 some years ago. It was at the vanguard of great 2D adult games. Sadly it just isn't at the very top any more other 2d games have surpassed in every department apart from maybe length. Some people love the art for me its below average. Still it will be good to get a finished game and maybe that will warrant an extra star.

    Story 2/5, Originality 1/5, Renders 2/5, Playability 4/5, Performance 4/5, Bugs, Animations 1/5, Amount of content 4/5

    One of the best games on this site. Sure, they're not updating the game that often but considering the quality of the game it's understandable.
    I really love the art, the animations are quality and the game really feels alive, you get really immersed in the game's world.
    Some characters have really interesting development and storylines.

    This game has been on the "pre-tech patch" since i started playing porn games. Pretty pathetic. Roxxi,sis, emo are all good faps for me, and i love the overworld map and general aesthetic but honestly most of the characters and renders arnt really worth looking at, at least to me most characters are not even sexually appealing. If it was a perfect world and this was a completed and fully already fleshed out game i might give it a 3.5/4 but that will be in 10 years so

    I just had to jot down my thoughts on this game because it's easily one of my top favorites! The story-line is just fantastic, and let's talk about the art style – it's totally my jam. I'm seriously hooked! Immersing yourself in the game is a breeze, at least for me.

    Honestly, I can't sing the praises of this game enough. If you're in search of a game with an awesome story and a stunning art style that really pulls you in, this is the one! It's an absolute must-play.

    The game is good and I can somewhat recommended it . After last playing through this game four years ago, I can definitely say it has improved a lot. Now, having a story and having finished it, it was fun to go back and play it But it feels lacking in many ways. With the amount there making I was hoping for a better leap in content after all these years for the main characters but it just wasn't there.

    That's a pretty damn good game and I understand why it makes so much money.

    The relationship evolutions are very well made a slow pace, its a slow burner and I love it.

    Of course there is the incest part, which is awesome.

    This game art is quite good but there is better in some other game but I don't mind since the game has lots of minigame and long gameplay.

    Very good game.

    What used to be a unique game (has incredibly unique artwork) has now dwindled into a mediocre game. Writing is weird sometimes but is solid. Characters are okay. However, game has become a weird annual cashgrab generic harem game

    A former shell of what it used to be - A nice incest game with lovely artwork and interesting characters.

    Pros:
    - Still have interesting artwork, mostly the backgrounds
    - Story still works quite well honestly

    Cons:
    - Impossible to get a boner with these character models
    - 'Improved' character artwork make them look ugly and unsexy
    - Characters have become uninteresting, and it just feel like yet another Harem game
    - Game update once pear year, if you are lucky (for 80.000$ a month)

    it is a neat game with a large, fun and diverse cast, a good atmosphere
    but the current attitude is not acceptable anymore
    they dump more and more characters with no purpose while ignoring or delaying the original characters; push for updates nobody wanted; no obligation despite the immense amount of money they make
    2/5, i will check back to update my review next decade

    I remember playing this game for the first time years ago and had to revisit it because I forgot a lot of it.
    It's kinda crazy that this game is heading into its 8th year of development, but it's no surprise when it's still seems to be very profitable.
    SS was a great game for its time, still has a good art style and offers some hot characters.
    But one thing that sticks out the most is how badly this game aged when it comes to gameplay.
    There are things in this game that are just complete no-go's in today's XXX games.
    If you don't want to get lost, then you'll need a walkthrough that you can get on this site or on the SS wiki.
    There's way too much filler that involves pixel hunting, stupid minigames and paths that feel pointless.
    Having to read the sheer amount of text is incredibly tiresome.
    I don't remember there being black bars on both sides. It looks terrible.
    Having no rollback is just mindblowingly stupid.
    Making money is incredibly grindy and annoying.
    The story progression goes at a milking pace, and there are too many teases.
    I appreciate the amount of content, but then again, for a game that has been there for so long, you would think there would be more, and the game to be upgraded to 2023/24 standards. But I guess we'll see that in the next 8 years?
    All in all, this is just not fun to play anymore, which goes to show how far games have come.

    It's a boring and very tiring game. I played it for a long time but at some point I stopped because I couldn't understand what I was doing and what I was supposed to do. The game doesn't give you any guidance on how to progress through the missions. You can only go so far on your own. Since it's still not a complete game, a lot of content is missing and limited. I can't waste my time with a game that takes so much time and rewards so little in return. Whenever I want to complete a task, I can't be bothered to look for a guide on the internet. The game has to present this in an immersive way in the gameplay without distracting the player and moving the story forward. I can't get inside the head of the developer of this game, which at every point of the game feels like I know what I need to do.

    Love the details and the story in this game. This game is exactly what I was looking for. Nothing too repetitive and boring. Its always about new relationships with many different types of women. Hope this continues and more characters or scenes are added.

    I'll start by saying that the quality of the game is high, objectively it deserves 4 stars, but due to personal taste (subjectivity) I gave it 3, also because I don't think it's possible to give less than 6/10.

    A good, very original game, both in the art style and in the various stories of the characters, finally something different from 90% of games.

    Although the game features some mini-games to repeat, the game is not to be considered repetitive.

    Another positive factor is the similar art between female and male characters, now to be considered in the evaluation, given that it is fashionable to make male models horrible.

    Only one bug found and it was minor. I don't remember which quest, maybe with Diane repeating one of the milk delivered scenes but I don't remember exactly. As a result I can say that the structure of the game works very well.

    Negative factors (subjective)
    - Art in scenes. As mentioned, the art is original but in the scenes it has that something that makes me say meh, they are not badly done but they fail to convince me.
    - Overall the game is boring and fails as an h-game, it has many scenes but they are not engaging, perhaps due to the art.
    - The game still has a lot of unimplemented things and it honestly doesn't drive me crazy when I click on something and it tells me it hasn't been added yet. Again, personal taste, I'd rather not be able to interact at this point.

    Could the game be someone's favorite game? Yes.
    Does it deserve 5 stars? Yes.
    Best character? Normal Eve.
    Do I recommend the game? Yes.

    What can i say, Summertime is one of those rare games that have a great meaningful stories, varied characters each with their own looks, personalities, and side stories. a world with plenty of places to see. truly, this game is great.

    varied characters, plenty of sexual deeds, with smooth animations (when the mod is downloaded), a meaningful story that you actually care about, and an MC that isnt a dumb ass or a prick, hes a lovable goofball nerd that changes throughout the story as it goes on. DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE PLENTIFUL AND TASTEFUL POP CULTURE REFERENCES XD

    just came to finishing the builds story for like the fourth time, and theres always something new that ive missed. sad to not see anything else come of it though, i dont feel ready to leave this world and character, and really love the way its done, which is really rare to get this much quality in one game, as most of these sites are plagued with shit. or abandoned gems.


    wishlists: Bi content, more trans/trap characters, more old characters, and the hairy mod being fully implemented and supported for all characters to fit their style and personalities. more ANAL content! more locations in and outside of summerville. but bi content, traps/trans characters galore would be great! i like unleashing my inner perverse side on this game, so why not venture further xD.

    would love to see a ton more stories being told in this world, with these characters and more, without long ass waits for minimum drip feeds of content. really though, for anyone sitting on the fence. get it.

    The game is very good. Above all because of the art used by the creator, which, apart from being well drawn, integrates it perfectly with the sexual theme. The story is coherent and only advances when you talk to a specific person or use a specific object in the most graphic adventure style. But the good thing is that around the main story there are quite a few side stories with different girls that you can progress with. Thematically it places you in high school with all the options that that gives you, and it seems to have the objective of being able to fuck all the girls that appear, which is almost always appreciated. Without a doubt a reference in this type of games.

    One of the best games out there. Just enough plot to make the sex scenes more fun. Great art. Only complaints are the minigames (which you can just cheat your way through).


    Note for those who want to play the game with the trans version of one of the characters: At one point, you may be asked if you're interested in "men", and if you say "no", it switches to the version where that character is not a trans woman.
