I don’t play very many visual novels but I had a lovely time experiencing the sweeping romance of Michelle and Samantha within the backdrop of mid-80s Hong Kong. It feels both out of time and familiar with a gorgeous aesthetic to match it.

Great VN! Absolutely beatiful art, style, music, theming, all blended together with great storywriting and telling. There is no A in this VN, just a little spice if you add the DLC patch. And it's good spice. Interaction is limited to a few dialog choices that affect the way the story moves and ends. But what you do get is what I found to be one of the most beautiful stories in a VN. The MC's are two young lesbian ladies. I am an older straight guy, in many ways it seem not the typical audience here.. For me this is just a beautiful story about a struggle with finding your own path in life, living it your way vs the external pressure of how society and people are pushing you. Having the courage to live vs fade, while you still have the chance and time. Longing for that special love, and finally getting the courage to admit it and embrace it when it appears. It doesn't matter who you are to touch on this. It happens in the neon-setting of Hong Kong in the 1980's. No smartphones, no craziness of the social media, just people meeting each other and focusing on each other. It is a beautiful setting for the story. A story that becomes so beautiful and emotional in the blend of beautiful music, art, and the storytelling perfectly playing on all this. The endings showcase the results of the choices you make. Much like in life, you can pursue what you really want, take a chance, and see where it takes you. Be surprised at times. Or go with what everyone else wants, and find yourself longing for what could have been. There is no one right choice I guess. It all builds a perfect setting for the story the authors seem to want to tell. Just two nice and gentle people, slowly finding something they didn't know they were looking for. Exploring it as it happens. The exquisite art style, ambient music, and storytelling... Beautiful. I really enjoyed it. For the first time in a VN, I will likely come back to experience it again. Thank you.

absolutely incredible visual novel! I'd easily recommend this as anyone's first VN, or first lesbian VN in particular. it's refreshing to read a story about adult women (so many yuri stories focus on teenagers), and in particular a story that is so firmly set in a time and place. the art is all so well done, the ero scenes are very well written, and the characters have such depth and charm. I love these two women so much, honestly probably my favorite video game lesbian story next to Signalis!

"A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986" is a captivating visual novel that intricately weaves together themes of love, identity, and societal expectations against the backdrop of 1980s Hong Kong.

The narrative unfolds with grace, immersing players in the lives of its compelling characters as they navigate personal and cultural challenges. With its rich storytelling and nostalgic atmosphere, "A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986" offers a poignant and memorable gaming experience.

As a straight guy, I still find the game excellent. The story is heartwarming, sweet and beautifully written. Both the characters, with their background, characters, history, have been well developed. Despite the setting in 1986, the struggles of the characters are still real in today's Hong Kong. My root in Hong Kong was one of the reasons I played the game, and it may have given me an edge in immersing myself into the story - I can easily visualise the place and make sense of the scenes. But I believe those not from Hong Kong would equally enjoy the game, and may learn a bit from it about the various lifestyles in different parts of Hong Kong. This is my first review in Steam. I really cannot recommend this game more to anyone who likes a beautiful story about love.
