“Developer Oracle and Bone has crafted a special game here, one that hit me emotionally in ways no other piece of media has done before.”

“A Summer’s End deftly portrays the strange freedom that comes with uncertainty, in knowing the future can be what you make of it.”

“A Summer's End tells a wonderful story about a lesbian relationship, which gives representation and insight into the Asian LGBT+ community. Woven through Sam and Michelle's romance are the challenges of coming out and society's expectations for women, but also the joy of love and hope.”
Eurogamer
