Dog Days of Summer

Dog Days of Summer is an erotic novel about a student named Vivian. She wants to finish her studies with good grades, but her feelings interfere with her plans: in college she meets Tara, and an attraction arises between the girls that is difficult to resist. The story is presented in text with illustrations and selections: conversations, meetings, joint affairs. The decisions determine how the relationship will develop and what scenes will open up. Some of the episodes are intended for adults only, and this is stated explicitly. Taking place in the summer, the tone of the story is light, dreamy at times. Saves at key points allow you to return to forks, and the duration is short: the story can be completed in a few evenings. It is also worth noting that in addition to the main line, the game also has secondary conversations that reveal the heroines’ surroundings. The branching is modest, but consistent: the choice in one episode is echoed in the next. For a project of this scale, this is the right approach - the story ends clearly, and does not break off in the middle. It is worth understanding that explicit scenes are not the goal here, but part of the story: they are presented through relationships and conversations, and not as a separate mode. The tone of the narrative is soft, without savoring, and this is rather an advantage for such projects. If you're looking for serious drama, you won't find it here; if it’s a light summer story, it’s there. The project was made by a small team, without technical frills, but with attention to the characters. For those who are interested in compact romantic stories with branches, the Dog Days of Summer is suitable.
