I’m not really sure how to put this into words, but that amazing feeling I got after playing the game for the first time totally inspired me to give it a high score and write a review here, which is something I’ve never done before (especially since English isn’t my first language). Since then, I’ve tried out a bunch of other games, but honestly, not many hit me emotionally or draw me into the story and characters quite like "Summer's Gone." It’s a bit strange, though, because there’s no sex in it, and it kind of feels like a long introduction after years of development. That worries me a bit and makes me wonder if this novel will ever really have an end.
I played it with the "Uncut Taboo Edition" mod, which brings back scenes that were changed or cut out (like the jacuzzi scene from the original release) suposedly to get that 16+ rating on Steam.
