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.

I really liked The August Before. The gameplay was really nice and calming paired together with the soundtracks and the beautiful style the game has. I loved getting to know more about the people from who the rooms are and discovering their dynamic. I would really recommend this game if you want a few hours of peaceful cleaning and light puzzles.
[b]优点[/b]:音乐超级好评!特别适合当工作学习背景乐。 [b]缺点[/b]:信息过于细碎(不重要的纸条也没有汉化)。故事体验不佳,整体就是:啊哦三人友谊,具体发生了什么,我说不上来。 然后整理过程中容易因为操作不顺手,或者物品碰撞体积问题红温。虽然提示可以一口气拿好几个同类物品,但实际情况是经常识别不到同类,然后放置的时候手上有几个还是得点几下。不如一次只拿一个物品。
A very interesting story and very enjoyable gameplay!

I genuinely loved this game. It's so sad and shows the reality and struggles of losing the people you love.
my favorite video game i've ever played, absolutely captivating and amazing. i just wish it was longer so i could keep playing forever <3
The August Before is a relaxing game, but only if you’re not trying to go for 100% completion. The OST can get a little repetitive, and the game feels somewhat rough around the edges, as if some parts still need more polish. There’s also not much of an atmosphere or ambiance to the game. If you’re looking for a more polished and accomplished version of what this game is trying to do, I’d highly recommend giving Unpacking a try.
i didnt ask to make me tear up but it's beautifully made. I didnt regret buying it, I might rotate to this game if i ever feel down. TT love ya.
А чо такая маленькая игра то? :D Продолжение будет? :D
Игра очень короткая, всего три локации. История простая, милая. С подтекстом? Нет. Надо внимательно читать записки. Очень расслабляющая. Минус еще один заключается в том, что у каждой девочки в комнате есть проигрыватель и нужно находить и включать носители. ПОЧЕМУ? Почему у них одна и та же мелодия? При том, что момент мелодии проигрывается на репите. Это начинает раздражать. В одной из локаций меня выбесила вилка. Все ложки, вилки в ящике нормально легли в стаканчик, а она как дура мимо. И это не баг. А в целом игра хорошая. Но дико короткая. Ставлю 5 из 5. Норм.
Le jeu est vraiment agréable, très cosy, et le design est super joli. L’ambiance est douce, on se sent bien dedans, c’est exactement le genre de petit jeu calme qu’on aime. Par contre, il se termine assez vite, mais ... Le gros problème, ce sont les bugs de collision qui sont toujours présents et vraiment horribles. Et surtout, les achievements Steam « Clear Your Mind » et « Did All You Could » (finir à 100 % les chambres d’Ivy et de Beth – des bugs connus et souvent pointés du doigt) sont tout simplement infaisables : même en nettoyant absolument tout, le jeu ne coche jamais que les chambres sont terminées. C’est terriblement frustrant. D’accord, j’ai trouvé une clé du jeu pas cher, mais avec les bugs j’aurais été extrêmement frustrée si j’avais mis 12 € dedans. N’empêche que j’aime bien finir à 100 % les petits jeux cosy comme celui-ci… et là c’est vraiment agaçant. Même après 2 heures de jeu, je vais encore tenter de persévérer en espérant que le bug arrête de subsister et que je puisse enfin terminer le jeu à 100 %. [b]EDIT: [/b] Après 2 heures de plus, j’ai enfin réussi à terminer les derniers achievements. Pour la chambre de Beth, je n’ai absolument aucune idée de ce que j’avais oublié. Pour Ivy, le souci venait d’objets qui n’avaient rien à faire dans les cartons (et que j’ai mal jugés), ainsi que du cadre photo du trio qui n’était pas à l’étage correct, car le placement ne se faisait pas automatiquement.
