Introduction
Shanghai Summer is an adventure game set in the millennium. Our protagonist, Baichuan, goes through a series of anomalies over the length of twelve days. In his pursuit of the truth, he found that his hopes and regrets from the past finally seem to converge. Will he be able to fix it for good?
Story
Shanghai, 2003
Suddenly, Baichuan senses something is not right with his life—sometimes, he feels he can see his memories, so real yet so unfamiliar. This all seems to begin with an unexpected invitation from Baichuan’s ex-girlfriend, Qiuyu, who has been away for many years.
Twelve summer days, just like twelve lucid dreams.
The time seems to be working anomalously on you.
Characters
- Fengyi – A dream-chasing, freelancer artist.
- Xiaobo – Troubled and misguided high school student.
- Jingxian – A university student who is burdened by her family’s issue.
Even though their lives are a total mess, they still manage to carry on, embrace and accept their regrets, and live to the fullest.
Gameplay
Through the Topics and Clues gathered from everyday life, dive deep into the hearts and minds of your dearest friends.
To be comforted by them; To be inspired by them; To turn all the little things that happened in your life into your own strength, and eventually, at the finale of the twelfth night.
To fix the shattered dream.
Stages
Classrooms, the bookstore What-If, the neighborhood cafe.
Much of every boy and girl’s life revolves around such a mundane city scene. And it is precisely within the mundanity that some new possibilities exist. The key to turning one’s fate around may very much be held in the hand of someone passing by among the crowds on the streets.
