Summer like a Dream is a Ren'Py visual novel by Puydev, built with animated 2D AI-assisted CG. You play Ryan, a computer-gaming enthusiast who is sent away for the summer. He stays with an old friend, Lila, and gradually renews ties with Lila, Lucy, and Hannah under a warm seasonal backdrop. The game presents adult themes plainly, including a male protagonist and milf content, while focusing on character interaction and progression.
Development remains ongoing with v0.25, released on August 19, 2025, for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, in English and uncensored. This update adds new Lila and Hannah scenes, a redesigned laptop interface, a Daily Jobs app, two minigames, Farm Cleanup and Freelance Debugging, and an Online Shop with next-day deliveries. It also adds wallpapers, gallery costume scenes, improved journal hints and quest progression, and fixes for Android layout, Hannah’s beach invitation, Violet’s Yoga Book save issue, phone task screen, and exit confirmation.
