A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986

Set in Hong Kong in 1986, this visual novel follows Michelle, an office worker, and Sam, who runs a video rental shop. Their chance meeting grows into a relationship amid family expectations and a changing city.

Read character dialogue and follow the story through Michelle’s and Sam’s perspectives. Their encounters explore romance, identity, family, and the cultural pressures surrounding their lives.

Dialogue choices influence the story’s direction and lead to two endings. A point-based system also lets players unlock bonus scenes, with hand-drawn artwork and an original retro-inspired soundtrack accompanying the story.

Players often praise the hand-drawn art, retro Hong Kong atmosphere, and synthwave-inspired music, which they say help make the setting immersive. The romance and its exploration of identity and family expectations also resonate with many reviewers. Some, however, find the story short or its dialogue, pacing, and character shifts uneven.
