Beautiful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ending

How I got into the game:
So I found this game because a friend of mine recommended it to me. And I won't lie, this was the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cathartic thing I have ever experienced. And I mean this in a great way, this game just does something to be able to capture you into its world almost instantly, and it's a quick read too and worth every penny. When added in with the adult patch it makes the Michelle and Sam's relationship develop a lot more. I'm usually stingy with sex scenes in my media, especially with how poorly written they tend to be sometimes. But in the case for A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986, damn it made the characters' romance just be all the more deeper. And best part is that the adult patch is free! So please add it in if you want to!

I find the name of the game "A Summer's End" to be so ironic, considering the fact that summer is never ending for me. I live in the vibrant world of Miami, where amazingly enough, we're remembered for our 80's aesthetics as well. In spite of the cultural differences that I as a Cuban might not be able to comprehend, I can still emotionally feel, understand, and connect to this game's underlying message. Just like the creators of this game wish that Hong Kong doesn't become remembered as a caricature of the city it once was, I feel the same way with Miami.
Furthermore, I went through a similar experience Michelle did recently, forgetting about who she was as a person and forcing herself to be this person certain people wanted her to be. In my case, I forced myself to be in this relationship with this man that I never truly loved. I thought this man was my end game, and until recently...I was nothing more than a husk of a human being. Forcing myself to do things I didn't want to do for this guy. But I have to be honest with myself just like Michelle did, not just with her passions and pursuits in life, but just with...everything. I need to be me, be myself, and not let anyone tell me who I should and shouldn't be. I need someone who'll accept me and love me for who I am. That's something this game gave me one helluva reminder of, and I'm glad it did!

The game's politics is definitely interesting, again I have no ancestral ties to any from Hong Kong but the game's ability to give me, an outsider this perspective of this other world that I didn't know much about that made me not just appreciate my living circumstance and the time period that I live in a bit more, but also a bit of hope and more awareness for the people of Hong Kong. Despite the game's pacing with the romance to a biiit on the fast end of the stick I still overall enjoyed what the game provided and I think it the romance is incredible and beautiful. There were so many references to cultural phenomena from that time period that I actually am also considering checking it out one day with how well this game has piqued my interest in regards to that culture. Nothing ever felt male gaze-y nor overtly fan service-y and the game has some of the most incredibly realistic depictions of LGBTQ charcters I've seen. And as a lesbian myself the depiction of these characters was well done too.
