Let's Play - Summertime Saga, Under the Eve

Summertime Saga is a prominent, if somewhat controversial, title within the adult visual novel and dating simulation genre. Developed independently, it casts players in the role of a young man navigating the summer after his father's mysterious death and the subsequent discovery of a significant debt owed to shady characters. The game is set in a vibrant, albeit fictional, suburban town filled with a large cast of characters, each with their own distinct personalities, storylines, and potential romantic or sexual entanglements. At its core, gameplay revolves around exploration, puzzle-solving, and relationship building. Players manage their time, choosing which locations to visit, who to interact with, and what activities to pursue. These activities often involve mini-games that test various skills like strength, charisma, or intelligence, which in turn can be improved through different in-game actions like working out, reading, or engaging in specific jobs.
