Summer~Life in the Countryside~

Overview This title offers a compelling blend of daily life simulation and intimate character progression. Set against a nostalgic backdrop, the game focuses on building a deep connection with the main heroine through meaningful interactions and time-sensitive events. It successfully captures a "slice-of-life" atmosphere while keeping players engaged with its rewarding mechanics. Gameplay & Mechanics The core gameplay revolves around a smart time-management system where moving between locations advances the day. This adds a layer of strategy, as certain events—like cooking in the kitchen or relaxing on the porch—only trigger at specific hours. The "Follow Mode" is a standout feature, allowing for organic interactions that evolve based on two primary stats: Affection and Lust Level. Unlike many games in this genre, the scenes here aren't static; they change and grow more detailed as your relationship deepens, which makes every playthrough feel unique. Visuals & Completion Visually, the game is polished, featuring a variety of outfits—from school uniforms to swimsuits—that directly impact the scene variations. For completionists, the "Recall Mode" is excellent, providing helpful hints for unlocking missed content. The inclusion of an "Extra Mode" and clear-data carryovers provides great replay value. Final Verdict Overall, it is a well-crafted experience that balances a cozy atmosphere with high-quality content. Whether you are a casual player or a completionist aiming to fill the gallery, this game offers a satisfying and immersive journey.

Good game 10/10. I just have a little issue, on the 2.0 version my game was slow and some things with the UI was not working, so i had to download it from kimo***. Art: 9/10 Story 8/10 (Its not a game with story but it explains why when and where) Gameplay 7/10 (All controls are with mouse)

It's an extremely high quality game that in all honesty isn't that interesting. Think of Summer Memories without the fun story, minigames and with a single character to care about and that barely has any character progression past the first hour. The normal pixel scenes are nice, but not crazy good. The pixel POV scenes on the other hand are top quality, genuinely the best in the medium. The CG scenes are ok, nothing great and nothing bad either. The thing that bothers me a lot is that getting the scenes is awful and very obscure at times, so I recommend just finishing the game and unlocking the gallery. The Outing DLC is pretty much a nothing burger too. Overall it's worth playing for the art alone, but don't expect it to become your favorite ero game any time soon.

I give this game 5 stars because, despite its lack of gameplay depth , being simple and linear, it perfectly accomplishes what it sets out to do. The game feels like a beautiful painting portraying the romantic and erotic idea of an intimate, humid, and peaceful summer spent with your dear childhood friend/cousin. The ambient sounds, the visual atmosphere, and the setting are the true highlights of this short but evocative experience, capable of conveying something beyond mere eroticism , which is definitely present. Yes, the game is hot, just like summer itself, and you’ll probably want to play it more than once to fully appreciate the voice acting and the sexy animations featuring the completely submissive heroine, Hazuki. It’s also worth replaying because the game isn’t very long (approximately six hours). Highly recommended.

Before I give the review of this game, I just have to say that this game has some of the most beautiful pixel art I have seen in any game. Other than the art, the voice acting is also pretty good, very fitting for an emotionless FMC. I don't really enjoy the emotionless part... but it is what it is. I do wish there was a warning, or a tag that said the heroine would be like that. There are a lot of positions and location CGs to unlock, but there's not really anything preventing you from unlocking any of those. The only obstacle is the number of days, other than that, everything can be unlocked within the first day. I'm not really complaining, but this lack of obstacles might make you feel like you're playing the game with cheats. Even though there's a lot to unlock, the fact that they're so easy to get, and also that they're so repetitive, it doesn't really give a sense of accomplishment.

This game sucks. The animation and art style is beautiful, but I have no idea how to progress the game. The only thing available is buying things for her, discovering panties in the changing room, and both of those don't work You can talk to her alot and max the meter with no effort. Poor game design Only way to progress the sex meter is to do the kissing thing around 7-8 times. Then, only then, you just unlock a hand job. Booo! I may have an attention deficiency, but if the game can't give me a clear set of instructions if there are no options available then I'm not gonna bother

game doesnt work, i try to start the game and the dialogues takes ages to load and the X button on the dialogue bubble is giant. havent even been able of getting to the actual game which is very unfortunate tho i cannot even play it

Summer Life in the Countryside is a point-and-click scene-hunting game with a simple premise, made in the Unity engine. One day, the protagonist’s aunt asks him to stay at her house while she is away. The protagonist then reencounters his cousin, a beautiful, well-developed girl with a soothing voice. As expected, being together in a bucolic village during the height of summer, their relationship begins to spark. The gameplay is as simple as the plot. It's a straightforward scene-hunting game, meaning you have a limited time to find scenes with the cousin around the house and outdoors. These scenes vary in tone depending on the degree of affection. To improve the relationship, you need to accumulate points of love and lust. However, the developers didn’t establish any limit parameters, so you can max out both stats within the first few minutes of gameplay. Aside from that, there isn’t much else to do. It’s a relatively short game that can be rushed in just a couple of hours. Despite the ever-present static images, Summer Life also includes many pixelated sprite scenes that impress with very smooth animations, offering a small degree of interactivity. These high-quality sprites are the game's standout feature and its true gem. After completing the game, you can search for secrets to unlock all scenes in the recollection menu. It’s a very simple game with a laser focus on one purpose, and it executes that almost perfectly. However, it’s held back, as usual, by japan’s ridiculous censorship laws and the lack of basic features like text speed control and window resizing. It’s better than many similar games out there, but there isn't much to praise beyond the pixel art and animation.

It's nice but there's not a whole a lot of something or anything in that matter. Dialogue is wholly optional with any of the stat just play different variation of the same scene. With a girl lacking in any enthusiasm that I can only describe as Retarted . It's kind of miss opportunity really, the setting really capture rural life with first sign of declining birth rate. Just strolling around the map really gave that serene feeling, but with no action to interact or examine in-depth just makes it less interesting than background screen wallpaper.

Art is great and design is very cute but there really needs to be more here, the only thing you do in this game is walk around and have sex but there's not character development or story of any kind. It just feels weird as a result and with no real stakes to the sex it just never has any impact. Idk, to me sex like this is meaningless unless there's at least some development behind it and with only 2 characters it would've been trivial to have some cute scenes with character development here but most of it is just plain boring.

The animations are really good, but there's no character, plot, story or gameplay. Which, I thought I was mostly fine with going in, but it's really the erotic version of watching Big Bang Theory without the laughtrack - Without even the most basic personality for either character, them fucking all the time just feels kind of offputting. It has the feeling of enabling someone's addiction.

really nice 2d pixel-animated art work game. The best thing is that there are two DLCs just as good as the base game and it is not impossible that there will be another one in the future..... 5 STAAAAAR

Super Recommended – 9/10 Summary Length: 10-15 Hours Experience: Have fun in the vacations with your cousin So wholesome and feel good~ Story: 3/5 No real story except have fun Gameplay: 4/5 Increase relation, have sex, go places, have sex, do things, have sex but very cute Originality: 3/5 The game isnt very original but it is good Scenes: 4/5 She is very cute and hot Environments & Undertone: 5/5 One of my favourite environments in any game Amount of Content: 5/5 Maybe a little more sex wouldve been good but nearly perfect Characters: 5/5 Performance & TL: 5/5 <3

Caution! Extremely buggy: Images didn't load and only showed a black screen instead. The text loaded at a snails pace and was partially covered by a giant X button. If anyone else has issues try this: After fiddling around for a while, I finally got it to work properly by downloading from a different mirror and moving the game folder to my C: drive before applying the patch pinned in the downloads section. If you do get it to work it's the average cohabitation-type game. Art and audio are good. The gameplay not so much. Story-wise, there's a distinct lack of bulid-up. You just meet her and get to fucking within 2 days. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a bug as well.

I have a soft spot for Dieselmine since they are one of the first developers I really started to get to know. Their games have a unique charm to them with their pixel graphics and then you get some actual HD scenes as well. This game is a timesink as there's a lot of scenes to collect, plus a DLC! Pros: An incredible amount of scenes to collect 6+ hours to complete 100% DLC is great Graphics are pixel-like and charming Day & night cycle done right Amazing replayability Gallery is included Cons: Only one girl to get scenes for, but I personally don't mind Can get a bit mundane farming the same scene over and over to grind up levels Conclusion: An all-time classic that should be cherished and played!

The artstyle and voice acting are great, but there isn't much to do in this game. For a game that allows you to walk around and explore, there's not a lot of content. Most of Hazuki's walking dialogue is repeated as well. A minigame, more dialogue between the MC and Hazuki, or even some more activities would be nice. (The DLC does add 2 events with lots of sex scenes and dialogue.) Considering you can max out both of the affection bars in 1 day, you're stuck having to waste the remaining 27-29 days doing jack shit. Dieselmine is making a sequel to this game, however, which should come out in August (according to his DLsite). If anybody actually reads this review, try the game out. It's one of those games that's good for a quick fap.

My favorite game so far is you play a childhood friend who comes to host a friend of a childhood friend while her parents are on vacation that's the whole story at this time you make friends with her but that's the big problem in the game because there is a love bar and a friendship bar and your goal is to get it all the way up so that your childhood friend will give you access to Everything you want [fucks, blowjobs, etc.] and that's the problem because it's possible to fill the bar on the first day and it takes away all progress for the rest of the game because there's nothing else to do but fuck her everywhere And when it comes to dialogues with her, there aren't many sentences and most of them are repeated and it starts to get tiring once or twice and integration with the world you can take her for a walk in the city for example go to a bus stop or to the grocery store or also to the sea and camping in the forest and yes there is also there you can fuck her but other than that there is nothing more I would be happy with that, they would have sample bureaus in the grocery store, the customers would ask what the noise was and you had a noise meter that you were not allowed to pass otherwise you would fail in short they could add a mini game that challenges your horniness but from here it is another point and click that you press to see what happens in any case the animation Very beautiful, really invested in making the world and your horny girl. To sum up this game, you can finish it in an hour/fifteen minutes. The most beautiful animation I've seen so far. It's still not a complete game and I would be happy if they added more content to it and gave more tasks that would give more things to do for the summer vacation.

Well i mean it was a nice game but it feel so boring for a walk and sex game It become so long to unlock all the scenes and the gain of money is to slow, the glitches and bugs make it very hard to play but i think thats not the games fault. With that said the game was great and has great animations and cg animation, I loved the VA on this game. i recommned it but only if it works the first time and not blackscreen you 8/10 (and sorry for my bad english)

I seldom leave reviews here, but this game gave me such a strong feeling of missed opportunity that I felt like sharing my thoughts. The art is really nice and the game engine is great. I love the chara-design of the main love interest, she's smoking hot. I kept thinking of Inaba Ruka for whatever reason while playing the game. Anyways, where the game drops the ball completely is on the game mechanics and pacing. And I can't understand why the developer dropped the ball this hard. There's no sexual tension past the first 5 minutes. The game never teases the player in what will come next. As others have mentioned, you can just repeatedly "talk" to the girl so her love gauge maxes out on the first day. Same goes with the lust gauge. I think the game should have limited the player in a specific number of actions per day to pace the story and the evolving relationship between the protagonists. Too bad, I think the developer had the potential to create a classic of the eroge genre but ended up with something meh instead.

How many scenes do you want to have? Dieselmine: "yes" How hot do you want your artstyle to be Dieselmine: "yes" How much plot do you want to have? Dieselmine: "no" gameplay isn't breathtaking and the plotline is thin as paper but the graphics, scenery variety, position variety and voice acting are top notch if you like what you see, you'll like what there is
