Evaluation

Secret Summer launched on July 5, 2022 as a complete visual novel. A post-launch epilogue update was released on July 11, 2022, which the developer described as adding closure to the endings and a small scene setting up a future game. A quality-of-life patch followed on September 6, 2022, adding an in-game walkthrough and scene gallery. In July 2025, a minor content compliance update (v1.1) was released to bring the game in line with updated Steam content guidelines — the developer noted this change would allow them to consider sequels in the future without risking removal. Subsequent developer news posts have focused entirely on new, separate titles: Sun Breed (released April 16, 2024), Follow the Leader (released February 4, 2025), and Rebounding Life Season 1 (released April 2, 2026). None of these are updates or expansions to Secret Summer — they are standalone games by the same developer. The developer has not announced any additional content for Secret Summer itself, and the game's store description presents it as a self-contained story. The content for Secret Summer was complete as of the epilogue release on July 11, 2022.

About this game

THE STORY

WARNING 18+: You were taken and separated from Norah and her three daughters to be trained as the successor to your father's lucrative business. After hearing Norah crying during one of your usual phone calls, you decide to find any way back to her and the other girls. That's when an idea pops into your head that just might make the reunion possible. But that same idea comes with its own set of problems and your secret summer visiting them may be harder than you anticipated.

Among them, there is the very serious 22-year-old sister Zoe who’s been aiming to be a top lawyer since she could talk – and argue. The complete opposite of her would be 23-year-old Leanne who is the definition of a free spirit, which Zoe abundantly disapproves of and makes clear any chance she gets. The youngest and last is 18-year-old Coral who loves video games, but has a very strong dislike for a very specific reason. And then there’s your father’s fiancé, 37-year-old high maintenance and bourgeois Irene that everyone tries to stay clear off, or you risk running her wrath. Lastly, there is 41-year-old Norah who wants to take care of everyone, even if that means neglecting herself.

THE GAME PLAY

In Secret Summer, you play as the main character and take control of all the decision-making, such as deciding to be stricter on a character or be more understanding. You have full control of how you play, and which characters you'll be spending time with. But be careful! Rejecting to spend time with a character or choosing the wrong choices may disable you from their route, and all future content with them because most choices have hidden points that you gain or lose!

***A free in-game walkthrough is also included for those who have trouble with selecting the correct choices, or for players who want to access every scene!***
