流光易逝的夏末 - Fleeting Summer's End

感动，很有广东乡村的感觉，好想看后续呜呜呜

虽然在不同的世界，我依旧祝福你们qwq

A cute, sweet, wholesome, cavity inducing, teeth showing, cheeks hurting, any other word synonymous to those you name it, is what I went through in this short story. My feelings aside, the game is decently crafted, the pixel art is well translated in its real-world counterpart(I think that's a cool upside for the experience) and the story is easy to follow. The characters are lovely, their personalities kind of click with each others insecurities. They touched on topics that may hinder their journey of being together but your good old friend called "confidence" would instill belief that such hinderance is unavoidable but still encourages them to move forward despite it. One more thing, I like how Kangsui explains her life living where she is now is like a lake with no ripple until Ainyang came to her life like a rock that was tossed in said lake causing ripples, beforehand, when the 'yuri' moment happened, Ainyang explained that during that time, the lake was calm, there were no ripples. This might not be intentional nor does it mean anything, the lake might be a river if recall. But to me, basically Kangsui's life has been calm and predictable until Ainyang came and made it alive and moved. To Ainyang, she lived fleeting and unsettled until Kangsui came and made it calm and stable. It's like a harmonious balance where one brings ripples, the other brings calm. For the gameplay, it is your typical novel type game but with a twist, as they offer some added features that well translates with the situation at play, which I think is cool. The "go here, go there" mechanic or the roam feature is sometimes unnecessary. Also, you can only save your game during these sequence, you can't save in-between conversations or dialogues which is a bit awkward to play a second time. The design art is cute, it doesn't need an over the top character design to be an appealing character nor does it need a perfect rendition of the surroundings to make it unique. Sometimes, minimalism is great, and it shows here. Overall, this game made me grinning at times, it also taught me random facts which I did not expect from a yuri game, and it also made me think of the religious and social aspect that affects same sex relationships especially in traditional and conservative notions - indeed, it's pretty common in yuri, but still. I enjoyed it, and general audience would too. Sure, their relationship might be rushed, but as the title goes, it's a Fleeting Summer's End. 8/10
