Last Summer

About

Last Summer is a 2D adventure where you explore a fractured city, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover abilities to restore color to decaying districts. Movement and exploration drive the story as you backtrack through areas with new tools, revealing hidden paths and dialogue options. Combat is minimal, focusing instead on platforming challenges and narrative choices that shape the world’s transformation. The retro-inspired visuals give it a nostalgic feel while the narrative tugs at your emotions through subtle character interactions and environmental storytelling. With a Metroidvania-style structure and a runtime of roughly 8-10 hours, it balances exploration with a poignant storyline. Players appreciate the art direction and the way mechanical progress mirrors the city’s rebirth, making each ability feel earned and impactful.
