While A Summer’s End: Hong Kong 1986 isn’t without its downfalls, I’m glad it exists.

This story is beautiful, thoughtful, and even uncomfortable at times, and the two endings are very different but equally important. A Summer’s End is easily one of the best visual novels I have played in a long time and its story is going to follow me easily for the rest of my life.
