Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 4: Summer Memories

About

Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 4: Summer Memories was an adventure title developed by Irem for the PlayStation 3. Players controlled a survivor navigating a disaster zone with the goal of finding others and escaping safely. The game relied on quick time events and puzzle solving to move through crumbling city environments. It stood as the planned fourth entry in a series known for its high stakes survival scenarios. The project faced bad timing before it could even launch. Originally set for March 2011, production delays pushed the release back just days before the massive earthquake hit Japan. The disaster made continuing development impossible since the real world crisis overshadowed the game's own themes of destruction. Irem officially cancelled the title on March 14, 2011 after producer Kazuma Kujo confirmed they could not finish it in time. This cancellation left fans with no playable version and marked a rare case where external events killed a project before release.
