It's a chill investigative visual novel type game if you're looking for something low-energy to play. Very linear, decisions don't make a real difference for the most part. Took 5 hours to complete every achievement and ending, so do what you will with that information. I'm not a huge visual novel gamer so I wouldn't buy it again if I went back in time, but I won't say I don't recommend it since it's accurately advertised.

素晴らしく胸に突き刺さるゲームだった。 物語も、キャラクターも、アートも、音楽もすべて良い。 そして猫! 本を1冊読み終えたような余韻が残る作品だった。 Everything was beautifully done. I loved the story, characters, art, music..... and the cat of course! It is a bitter sweet game that will linger for a long time.

Updated review now that I have finished it. Shanghai Summer is one of the game that I got curious of that I have bought it on release date. I like the art style that is completely anime-ish The normal protagonist is a normal guy which is usual in the Anime stories - The introverted, dull guy. The game is short but I can see how much effort the developers have put on it. I like how interactive the game is like you have to click and move to places. Only thing that I've encountered is that it doesn't work well on Steam Remote Link using my tablet and phone, you will be unable to play it, you may need a controller to do so. Story-wise it is a bit confusing because as any normal parallel world game, there will be series of memories, going to other world etc so you have to pay attention to details but over all, the game delivered a good story, a unique experience and emotionally impactful characters. I also had a lot of screenshots of the game as most dialogues are quotable and relatable. The game will give the the feeling of embracing our mess and the will to change it for the better.

Awesome art so awesome atmosphere - the meticulously crafted, overlayed backgrounds definitely did this game justice. I don't want to use the word "exotic" but I guess for the folks from Shanghai the scene must resonate with them. Kinda wish some of the weird "bad" endings I got in game could have their own ending CG but overall happy with the experience!
