About
The August Before is a meditative narrative 3D puzzle about cleaning up, sorting out and packing up your life
before moving on.
Teenage love, first losses, and notes from friends are scattered in the corners: explore the details of the heroine's
life, pack up the life you will take with you, and say goodbye - if you can.
And remember - you can't take the past with you.
Clean up the room before leaving, find the necessary items, and pack them in a suitcase.
Keep track of the diary, change the music, arrange the objects, and try to remember
not to disturb the dark corners of the room.
Sort through the items and appreciate the resulting order and the details of the story that unfolds in the process.
Explore the chaos and enjoy your freedom to drag, erase, disassemble, break, and fix things
in the highly interactive space.

игра классная и вайбовая, но не могу пройти в комнату айви(( после возвращения из комнаты бев в комнату август, картинка с комнатой айви остаётся порванной, и пройти дальше просто нереально
j'ai lancé ce jeu sans trop savoir à quoi m’attendre, et j’ai été agréablement surprise. dès le début, j’ai bien accroché. le gameplay est agréable et reposant, les musiques sont chouettes et l’ambiance est très chill. ce que j’ai préféré, c’est l’univers du jeu! il est bien travaillé, avec plein de petits détails qui collent parfaitement au thème. c'est une expérience calme et sympa que j’ai vraiment appréciée. un bon moment sans prise de tête.

Subtle, tender and bittersweet 💔 To me it’s a perfect game for a couple of nostalgia and love filled cozy nights. I loved: - the overall process of cleaning the room, packing things and making small choices as to where to form a pile of stuff I haven’t decided on yet, what to leave and what to take with you etc. It feels personal and important in small ways. - how tactile the game is. You can pick up and fiddle with almost any object you see and there’s so much effort and attention went into details of the models and small interactions. Great sound design helps too - general visual style of the game with oversaturated colors and coziness. - the story that’s both grounded and poetic and doesn’t force itself upon you. I loved how it didn’t push me into any direction during the final decision. You can say it’s open to interpretation too and somehow it DIDNT frustrate me. - the genius decision to put QR-codes with links to popular songs onto some magazine covers. It really helped when the original tracks (you can put cassettes and vinyls into players ^^) ran out like 30% into the room. (I wasn’t a big fan of the original tracks, to me they get a little repetitive) I’ve run into a couple of small bugs with collisions. If you encounter this, just save and reload the room, it’s probably gonna fix it! Very neat game overall. In case it makes you sad: a) experience fullness of sadness b) remember that all is well that ends well ❤️🩹
потрясающая, глубокая, приятная. с удовольствием погрузилась в нее и насладилась геймплеем. рекомендую! 100 из 10.
Overall I thought the game was fine, its pretty much just a glorified "find the object" game with some story that you need to piece together yourself. The major thing is there was one bug that I had run into that prevented me continuing where I had to close the game, my biggest recommendation is to save often.
I love more subtle storytelling where you find out about the world through exploring it. This game does an excellent job of that. You can see each character's personality through their spaces. The music in game is very chill and makes you feel calm while you're solving puzzles. I played it twice to get 100% for the achievements and would play it again in a year or two when the puzzle solutions slip my mind again. :)
Однозначно рекомендую! Идеальная игра для вечера, когда хочется замедлиться и поностальгировать. По атмосфере немного напомнила мне "Lost Records: Bloom & Rage" и "Lise is Strange", кстати, отсылки на последнюю игру встречаются здесь. Уютная игра о трогательных воспоминаниях трех подруг, где невозможно забрать с собой абсолютно все прошлое, но самое ценное навсегда останется в них. 10 из 10!
4/10 很早前的DEMO玩的还行 就是莫名有点难受 但还是愿望单+关注了 正式版流程变长了、感觉更难受了 能批量拿同类但有时候又不行、而且拿手上的东西非常挡视野 收纳的地方都亮起来了,放过去依旧掉地上,非常卡位 走路也卡脚 提示时有时无 字体和背景基本一个色调、看的要瞎掉了 越解越压了属于是
Grundsätzlich hätte dieses Spiel durchaus das Potenzial gehabt, ein cozy Game für zwischendurch zu werden, mit entspanntem Aufräumen, kleinen Puzzles nebenbei und einer Geschichte drum herum. Leider hat mich das Spiel aufgrund diverser Bugs eher aggressiv gemacht, als dass es mich hätte entspannen können. Teilweise hätte ich mir auch die Möglichkeit gewünscht, Hinweise zu erhalten, wo noch Dinge weggeräumt werden müssen. Zusätzlich war die Steuerung so komisch, dass mir das Spiel motion sickness gegeben hat.
This game is incredibly cute! I thought that the game had used AI but after talking with the developers, any usage of AI has been removed and hasn't been used since! The puzzles are very cute and the way that the game is made, having to clear through everything really gets you to be know these characters. Finding the passwords were somewhat easy but made me feel incredibly smart once I got it. This game requires your entire attention and rewards you with some incredibly good environmental storytelling. Beth's room is my favorite! If you liked unpacking, you'd definitely like this.
