About A Very British Summer
A Very British Summer is an indie life-sim set in a quaint English village where you play as a doctor balancing patient care with local chaos. Developed by The Dead Bunny Show, it released on October 31, 2025, for PC. The game blends puzzle-solving, resource management, and decision-making as you treat patients, handle village duties, and choose between lawful routine or criminal shortcuts. Its dark humor and quirky scenarios set it apart from traditional simulators. Ideal for fans of offbeat management games with a satirical edge.
Gameplay
You start each day managing a clinic, diagnosing patients through mini-puzzles that involve sorting symptoms, selecting treatments, and avoiding medical mishaps. Afternoons shift to village tasks like organizing events or intercepting suspicious activities. Controls are point-and-click with keyboard shortcuts for efficiency. Decisions matter: helping a neighbor might earn trust, while skimming medical funds could fund illicit ventures. The game thrives on absurdity, like treating a sunburned gardener while evading a local crime syndicate. Sessions rarely last under three hours, with branching choices affecting late-game scenarios.
What Players Think
Community ratings are polarized, averaging 78/100 on PlayPile with 42% completing the main story. Average playtime is 14.5 hours, with 28% hitting 30+ hours. Positive reviews praise the "hilarious absurdity" and "unexpected depth in dialogue," while critics call it "overly niche" and "repetitive." The game’s humor splits players, 62% label it "refreshing," 38% "grating." Achievement completion sits at 69%, with 12% unlocking all secrets. No DLC or post-launch content reported.
PlayPile's Take
A Very British Summer is a quirky, bite-sized experiment in satirical simulation. It works best for fans of dark humor and light management without long-term commitment. Priced at $29.99, it’s a low-risk pick for its absurdity and charm, though repetitive mechanics may deter others. Achievements add replayability but aren’t essential. Not a must-play, but worth a try if its tone clicks with you.
