Great ass game, ive been following for two years now and im happy to say that this game has made some amazing progress, and i love the fact that multiple endings can occur. Keep up the good work man :)
Yeah I've heard they are pretty bad at replying to anyone on here I may give it a shot tho I just dont rust 3rd party sites since there are people who pretend to post games but are actually viruses.
This game started out interesting, interesting story and characters. Art stye was nice... pacing was nice, storytelling was great! I had no problems with it and was loving it... but after a few hours in you are tricked into something... I HATED EVERY MINUTE of being forced to be screwed in the rectum by a woman I wanted to romance with. There's no way to stop this after you find out, no warning that this will happen, go pass it or reverse the situation. Other games warn you of such things coming, even if you don't want pregnancy or not etc etc etc. But this.... was annoying for a straight man like myself. I clicked on my mouse so fast to skip this BS! It happens on 2 occasions too. One wasn't enough. I wish you success on your game but I know I'm not playing it any further.
I appreciate your reply. Honestly, I really was enjoying everything about the game up until that point lol. Who would have thought massaging her feet would lead to that outcome a few scenes later though? Soon as I saw what was going on (the night it happens) ... even choosing no doesn't let you out of that. I just felt it was a bit of a trap and forced. "In my opinion" the player should have had an option to stop the action once realizing what was happening. If they are not into "that". But, I understand it's YOUR game though so who am I. Hope you have a nice weekend man!
I'm all too familiar with this and can very much so relate. I HATE femdom, force, etc. Every time I come across a game with femdom in it, and it is forced upon the player without any way to turn the tables or even just the option to not go through with it, it pisses me off.
Well, you can avoid it. There are other paths for Cassie that do not include femdom. I have no problem understanding that the femdom content isn't for everyone.
No worries, my initial comment wasn't directed at you but rather a commentary on the games that do this, in general. I just happened to use this thread as an outlet to express the thoughts that I've had for awhile now, considering the context of the conversation.
I'm well aware of your earlier comments and understand that we have a mutual understanding about this.
The massage is just the first step of the chain of events. You can still refuse Cassie later in the lingerie shop, but it will prevent you from going on the love path.
I always thought that a player who wouldn't enjoy that kind of content would simply load a previous save and go another path. Maybe the fact that there are several different paths available isn't evident.
One thing is for sure, I should find a way to warn the player so that he can make an enlightened choice. It has been on my to-do list for a while now, and I need to work on that.
no worries, man. I'm sure to probably come back in the future after some updates (I'll follow you). But... I'll probably skip that character all together lol. Honestly it doesn't seem evident that there are several different paths with Cassie. It just seems like... yes or no. Yes, and you are put into a femdom situation, no... and you just don't get to romance the character other than the foot massage. I just hate that I can't go on the love plot with Cassie without the femdom... I will see if I have a previous save back to the lingerie shop. I feel at that very moment when the first "toy" comes out the first time. Saying no should allow you to end that relationship if that's not what you want to see displayed. Right then and there. You are even asked then and you can say no but saying no doesn't allow you to stop that, you are still forced into it. 2nd time (strap on)... you are asked too and you can say no and still are forced to see it. It kills her whole character if you know this ahead of time and say no in the lingerie shop. Now it's impossible to romance Cassie. But that's what I'll be doing if I play this again lol. My attention will be on the others and saying no to her in the shop immediately
So update... after my previous comment I went and looked and I did have sense enough to save right at the point of the lingerie shop. I played from there saying no to her to the end... but I didn't get any romance with anybody now LOL... man oh man. Nothing with either character. Just a few hugs from the sis and the kiss on the cheek from Kelly... now what? LOL
You've been really unlucky, I guess. There are about 18 paths available at the moment in Summer scent. And femdom content in only 4 of them. You should restart from scratch and try to stack affection points. And go apologize to Eve on Sunday morning after breakfast if you haven't That may open some doors.
Yow, it's my first time playing this game and I ended up having the dark ending(when Kelly ended up being my girlfriend, she's a cutie tho and I can't really complain) it's the first ending that I encountered. Even tho I believe that I picked the right/best choices(sometimes I try to balance the affection pts of the two main girls), everything went downhill in that movie night and the day after that. I'm hella confused rn cuz I don't know where did I messed up, so I decided to do a restart.
I really liked the game, the girls, and the story, that 2gb of storage is worth it in my mobile phone.
Lastly, where could I find some walkthroughs, I think I might need some assistance here, I'm afraid to mess up again. Cheers fam.
I made trigger maps for the 15$ tier on my patreon. Those are path by path walkthrough (Kind of). But for the dual love path and the bad end that comes with it, I still give a "how to". Here it is :
How to avoid scene 7?
Globally, you avoid Scene 7 by paying attention to Cassie and giving her some "pure love" vibe.
The first key choice is to talk to Cassie while in the lingerie shop, during Day 3. Avoid the "Ok. So what?" option.
The second key choice happens on Day 4 morning, when you meet Cassie in the living room : "Give her a proper kiss." / "I'm sorry." / "You keep saying that."
The third key choice happens on Day 4 either at Cassie's place or during the night, with Eve. At Cassie's place: "This morning was very difficult to handle." Or at night in Eve's bedroom: "I don’t accept it." Yes, that means that you can meet Kelly and still have the throuple path right.
The fourth key choice happens during Day 4 night when you join Cassie in her bedroom. Choose "Except maybe cuddling a bit and having a nice talk." Finally, during Day 5, in Cassie's bedroom, you should be able to choose the following options: "I will tell you everything", "I would choose no-one", "Apologize".
With more than 67 affection points for Eve, and Cassie, you will avoid Scene 7 and Cassie will stay home with you.
You made me create an account just to leave a comment here, I played a few games like this, mostly good and almost made me create an account to say how good their stories were, but yours really made me do it, first of all, the dialogue is great, I felt greatly immersed I had to step out as I was too affected by the story, especially since I got the dark bad ending, damn it fucked me up good I won't sleep at night...had to look up a walkthrough, realised I mostly did good, but fucked up at the apologizing part where I didn't apologize but begged her to forgive Eve, which apparently is the only bad choice I did, went back and apologized and everything went well after that...
As of writing this I am still disturbed by that ending, I rarely get affected by...anything, but that one will stick with me for a while
I'm still working on it, I'm currently posing the shots for the last scene of the next update. I can't really tell when it'll be done. I'll get it out as soon as it's ready.
The more I play this VN, the more I discover nice details, like Cassie commenting on MC and Eve flirting or bickering. I am amazed, how each playthrough shows more details regarding the characters. Really love it.
As a heads up, the current preview build is too big for android. Google introduced a cap which limits apks over 2GBs from being installed onto devices on i believe android 10 and up whichever android version released in 2019
That's worrying. The current android test has been tested and is supposed to work (At least my beta testers didn't have any problem with it and I didn't have any complaints about it ). However, the 2GB size limit is clearly indicated by the engine when I compile the final android distribution. So... I don't know if it works for everyone, or just most of the players and I don't know for how long it will work as the size of the game will keep increasing. If I want to keep an android build available, I'll probably have to dramatically reduce the image quality.
First playthrough was a bit uneventful at the current chapter end, So I decided to start a second one where I'd go for the optimal romancing options. Things went unbelievably sideways and dark, but it was great storytelling.
The "dark stuff" you encountered was probably the bad ending on the Dual Love path. It can be avoided with the correct choices.
There are 18 different paths in the game at the moment. There will be some other bad/early endings, but I'm pretty sure that none will be as dark as that one.
Hey, yeah I found a walkthrough to see where I went wrong lol, it's refreshing that the best choice doesn't always have the best outcome like most other games out there. I also think it's good to have some bad ends in there, makes the storytelling and emphasis on your choices feel a lot more Impactful. Went through and played a few of the other paths and had a blast. Excited to see where it goes In future updates and try different playthroughs.
Hey there! Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to produce decent animations. It's something I need to work on, but it would take a long time before I could produce something watchable.
If you use the Itch.io Launcher for desktop it'll update the game for you instead of having to redownload all the time. As long as the dev doesn't use a third-party host, which OP does do, unfortunately.
Hey there. Sadly, no. You have to redownload the whole game with every update. I'm still looking into a solution for that problem. Thank you for your kind words!
I played through the game once and loved it. Great femdom stuff in this one. I played through again and was loving it because decisions actually matter, the game changes a lot with different play throughs. But holy shit, be warned this game gets fucking DARK. I got to the end of my second play through and just had to close the game. I dont think i want to play any more. Super buzz kill. You're not ready for what this game has in store. I dont know how to feel about it.
thanks for the reply. the game is really good btw. is there a way to have Eve really be submissive? Or that path is not super deep yet?
Also is there a way to have a loving relationship with Cassie, while avoiding the really bad end? I feel like it only lets me kiss Cassie and go down that love route, if i have already started a loving relationship with Eve.
Yes, it is possible. Both for Eve's Submission and Cassie's Love path.
You can interact with one or the other or with both girls. You don't have to romance one girl to have the other one.
The bad end happens only on the dual love path and is avoidable, so you can romance only Cassie, or romance both and make the right choices to avoid that bad ending.
Not really a comment but if I buy the game on itch.io for $5 do I just get the latest update or do I get future versions as well? I don't want to pay $5 everytime a new update comes out. Also I absolutely love the game and obviously I'm looking to purchase it. Any response would be greatly appreciated thank you.
To be completely honest. I don't know. On my side, it's labeled as "early access". So you should pay once and own it forever with every updates that will come in the future. But I didn't try it myself so I wouldn't bet my life on that...
Hi, I bought Summer Scent one year ago to download the latest Version at that time and was able to download the 0.6.1b version in November. You only need to buy it once.
It depends on the author. Normally once paid, the game is yours. But some authors bring out new versions at higher prices, so you need to pay that price to own the latest updated version. Like, you bought it at $5, but v2 is now at $10 - you won't be able to get V2 unless you pay $10... (paying the difference does not seem possible, unfortunately).
Other authors bring out the latest v2 at $15 and then after a certain time, drop down to the original $5, so you just need to wait.
That's good to know. And that's also not a good news.
I plan to release on Steam at some point and, as I understand it, I will have to increase the price tag here on Itch. I hoped that it wouldn't impact the ones that already have bought the game. If I understand you correctly, they would then have to buy it again at full price ?
My understanding of the itch price structure is perhaps not complete, as I am only consuming things here on itch. So it might be different than what I say here. But yes, I have paid $5 for a game ( Knightly Passions ) and then when they upped the price tot $10, had to pay $10 again, so in total $15. Currently you can download version 6 for free, version 7 for $1 and version 8 for $10 (discount of 50% as the new price is $20).
I understand that Steam wants the price to be the same or higher than on Steam if the game is available on multiple platforms, correct ?
You should probably contact another author on itch who went to steam (Lockheart from Avalon is somebody who tried this, he might have tips if you contact him via his Discord, although it was apparently not totally positive).
I can think of several things you could try :
you could keep an older version here for a lower price, if steam allows that ?
when your game is complete, you could release it here first for a short time, so people who already have it can grab the download at the price they paid it and then just before when it is going live on steam, you up the price on itch to the same price on steam : this gives people who already paid a chance to grab it for the same price
you change the price on itch.io now already to the future price that you will set on steam - and yes that means a few early clients that will not be very happy, but the sooner you do it the better it will be for everyone else - the reach of steam is far greater but perhaps the price could be the same ?
apparently there is or was a way to give out steam keys to people on other platforms (not sure this still works or will work in the future): you can supply a limited number of these steam keys to existing users on itch ?
you could set up a discord server and let itch users who pay a certain amount get access to it. And on that server you could do what you want, but it seems to me to be a messy solution with lots of work (I think most people do this with Patreon / SS )
Again, best to talk to an author here who did this already.
Yes, when you publish on Steam, you can't have the game available at a cheaper price tag anywhere else. I am not 100% sure about that but I think it includes demos, limited versions and that kind of stuff.
When I'll release it on Steam, I will more likely up the price tag of Summer Scent to match the standard for that kind of game (from $10 to $15 I believe).
I'll have to do some more research, but you're right. I should probably increase the price tag on Itch as soon as possible, to mitigate future problems. In combination with gifting Steam or Itch keys, that could do the trick.
Its my first time playing this type of games. But i believe there will be future continuation to the story as I got the screen for the main menu before any major events (i.e sex). I dont know how it compares to other games but it feels like a masterpiece with those graphics, and I surely will try different approaches. Keep up the great work, Cap.
The story will indeed continue, I'm continuously working on new content. There are several paths in Summer Scent, many of which include some "naughty" content. You should probably retry it with different choices!
No thank YOU, sir for such a great effort and forum activity. I have a recommendation; I wish you could bring the notification when gaining affection or dom etc… to a more noticeable place because it’s easy to miss. And can you use larger fonts for dialogue or shade the area behind it. Hope my ideas can help.
The interface will be reworked many times again before the final release of the game. Everything is subject to change. I have plans, I just don't know when I'll have the time to work on that part.
I'm far from being done with it but yeah, I can promise you that the second game will be better. I'm learning a lot and there are several mistakes and traps I'll take care to avoid in my next project.
Hi there Captain! Couldn't sleep at 11PM, wanted to try a light adult game and here I am at 3AM having reached what looks like the 'bad ending' (v0.5.5), after an unexpectedly emotional adventure… don't want to spoil things for others, but what a profound and beautiful storytelling experience you have created here! It's a nice departure from other similar VNs that make it unrealistically easy to build a harem (not saying these are not fun). There's probably a way to do that (I think?) but clearly one must strike a very precise balance to achieve it. I'm looking forward to testing different paths! This is a game that achieves treating young love & lust in a very mature way. At first I thought there was a lot of narration, but it is well written and flowing, and that's what eventually works. It is quickly made clear that things will not end nicely nor easily with the YOLO route, and that you must think twice about your choices… The only suggestions I would have is to add some soulful music, and that the thin white font is often hard to read over some images.
Thank you for crafting and sharing this very deep and meaningful story with us!!
I'm glad you liked Summer Scent. There is indeed a way to grow a love-based relationship with both Eve and Cassie. The YOLO route, as you name it, is something I wanted to avoid. Some paths are easier than others but I tried to keep things consistent and meaningful.
Music is on its way. I need to find the right track, which isn't easy. But it's a work in progress. Fonts and readability have been improved in v0.6, but I'll probably have to rework it some more.
Well, I donated my bit to get the latest version a few weeks back and played through a few different times over the last week. Very impressive piece of storytelling. My first play through was the bad ending that was a real gut punch.
Well done. I’ll be looking forward to future updates and any other projects you may take on. I happened upon this site early this month and, while there are a few other good VNs amongst a bunch of so-so ones in various states of completion… this one is at the top of the heap to me. Best wishes.
Hey, I'm having an issue getting 0.6.1 to install/run.
Do I need to have both 0.5.5 and 0.6.1 installed? I've tried running the 0.6.1 but it says images are missing and it just comes up with text saying I can rolback, ignore etc.
The Naughty Captain developer has really made one of the better adult games period. The time put in to release finished updates that stay true to the original story is so rare. Hopefully, supporters, who can give some support to Patreon. Too many good makers fall to the abyss due to lack of supporters. Can't wait for the next release.
I played many games on here and never had the urge to leave a comment. But this is different, I created an account extra for this, to let you know that this is truly my favourite game on here.
Other games might have animations, music, voiceacting, minigames, and so on. But SS has what all other games (that I'm aware of) lack: it has depth, it has emotional struggle, it has amazingly immersive insights into the character's thinking, it has the ability to convey panic, heartbreak, lust, and confusion.
When I first played I got the bad ending and it left me struck. You sure must have lived through some tough break-up in order to know all these small details and describe them so well. If not, you seem to have a really good sense of empathy.
Can I spare Cassie and have Eve exclusively? Because boi right now I'm nervous about a death.. To Clarify I hate harems but I prefer Eve and I want to be exclusive WITHOUT Cassie dying or being hurt.
btw man I mean this in the best way possible but you are an extremely active developer I feel blessed to have found your work. I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
God Damn I'm invested, I read The Comments and was so worried as I progressed about bad endings and death but I ended up getting so invested in Cassie my heart melted watching her. I've not tried multiple playthroughs yet or harems. I just got so interested in Cassie. The story and play through is solid the scenes are so good.
What I love is what you feel is the right decision or the better one can really be the bad insane fuck things up. I thought being honest with Cassie on day 5 after the talk with Eve was the right thing but I upset her and I genuinely felt guilt and heartbreak xD. Please please keep it up.
The bad end only happens on the dual love path, if you don't make the right choices.
Here is the steps required to avoid the bad end :
How to avoid scene 7?
Globally, you avoid Scene 7 by paying attention to Cassie and giving her some "pure love" vibe.
The first key choice is to talk to Cassie while in the lingerie shop, during Day 3. Avoid the "Ok. So what?" option.
The second key choice happens on Day 4 morning, when you meet Cassie in the living room : "Give her a proper kiss." / "I'm sorry." / "You keep saying that."
The third key choice happens on Day 4 either at Cassie's place or during the night, with Eve. At Cassie's place: "This morning was very difficult to handle." Or at night in Eve's bedroom: "I don’t accept it." Yes, that means that you can meet Kelly and still have the throuple path right.
The fourth key choice happens during Day 4 night when you join Cassie in her bedroom. Choose "Except maybe cuddling a bit and having a nice talk." Finally, during Day 5, in Cassie's bedroom, you should be able to choose the following options: "I will tell you everything", "I would choose no-one", "Apologize".
With more than 67 affection points for Eve, and Cassie, you will avoid Scene 7 and Cassie will stay home with you.
Just finished the free version a couple days ago. needed more, bought current update. Love everything about this game. @TheNaughtyCaptain, I think that stands out to me on this one (and maybe its just what I've played so far in other games?), there are so many paths, so many decisions. I played through 3 or 4 times and was still seeing new stuff.
Wishlist (Some I know were discussed in updates)
1) Hints at achievements so I could figure out what I'm missing
2)The Achievement page some I can open and view all the pictures, others are named and labeled like I unlocked it but they aren't clickable, not sure if I'm dumb or just not all are viewable again
3) Video achievement/gallery, I have a whole page of save points of "important" "Scenes" for "Science",
Yeah i am aware of that what i am trying to say is there should be a femdom path without pegging but it's your game i am not gonna talk shit about it because of the pegging still a nice game
Did it another try, sadly the beginning didn't change, still that nonsensical story about those rumours forwarded to your parents by the schoolmaster, and you get accused and insulted right away by someone you've been all but nice too. What kind of "schoolmaster" tells parents their daughter fools around in the toilets based on rumours ? The MC just measly bows his head, ready to apologize for something that makes no sense. Does it continue to be like that ? I somehow wanted to like the game, but I can't stand stories that impose some conjured up guild on the MC/player, sorry. Drama has to be believable to be accepted, unlike cheerful sexual fantasy. If it sounds made up, stretched, you don't understand why you should feel bad or sympathetic, which has a " cost" for the reader/player that, I don't know, comedy scenes don't have, for example.
I still haven't reworked that scene on Sunday morning. However, I think it's important to note that Jack's guilt and redemption are a big part of the game. Even if I rework the breakfast with Cassie, that won't change. What the headmaster did, Jack's attitude and so on aren't going to change. Those are things that are or will be explained later during the game. So if you don't like that, Summer Scent may not be a game for you.

Great ass game, ive been following for two years now and im happy to say that this game has made some amazing progress, and i love the fact that multiple endings can occur. Keep up the good work man :)
Thank you !
Ok ive downloaded and installed the 6.1b update for android and now when i open the app it immediately closes any solutions that i can follow?
I'm on it!
I aint gonna lie this it the first VN i actually want to pay for the updates. the story and character design is some of the best ive seen. 10/10
To bad you cant download through the itch app looks like a good game ill never play since it uses a 3rd party hosting site
I know. But that's a problem I can't solve as long as Itch doesn't answer my emails.
Yeah I've heard they are pretty bad at replying to anyone on here I may give it a shot tho I just dont rust 3rd party sites since there are people who pretend to post games but are actually viruses.
I totally understand your concern.
This game started out interesting, interesting story and characters. Art stye was nice... pacing was nice, storytelling was great! I had no problems with it and was loving it... but after a few hours in you are tricked into something... I HATED EVERY MINUTE of being forced to be screwed in the rectum by a woman I wanted to romance with. There's no way to stop this after you find out, no warning that this will happen, go pass it or reverse the situation. Other games warn you of such things coming, even if you don't want pregnancy or not etc etc etc. But this.... was annoying for a straight man like myself. I clicked on my mouse so fast to skip this BS! It happens on 2 occasions too. One wasn't enough. I wish you success on your game but I know I'm not playing it any further.
Hello there!
No harsh feeling, I understand completely that this isn't to everybody's taste.
That being said, you can avoid that content and romance Cassie in a more conventionnal way. You simply made the wrong choices.
Massaging her feet in the living room starts the chain of events that leads to that path. Don't do it and you will be safe from her unusual desires.
In any case, thanks for playing!
I appreciate your reply. Honestly, I really was enjoying everything about the game up until that point lol. Who would have thought massaging her feet would lead to that outcome a few scenes later though? Soon as I saw what was going on (the night it happens) ... even choosing no doesn't let you out of that. I just felt it was a bit of a trap and forced. "In my opinion" the player should have had an option to stop the action once realizing what was happening. If they are not into "that". But, I understand it's YOUR game though so who am I. Hope you have a nice weekend man!
I'm all too familiar with this and can very much so relate. I HATE femdom, force, etc. Every time I come across a game with femdom in it, and it is forced upon the player without any way to turn the tables or even just the option to not go through with it, it pisses me off.
agreed 100%
Well, you can avoid it. There are other paths for Cassie that do not include femdom.
I have no problem understanding that the femdom content isn't for everyone.
No worries, my initial comment wasn't directed at you but rather a commentary on the games that do this, in general. I just happened to use this thread as an outlet to express the thoughts that I've had for awhile now, considering the context of the conversation.
I'm well aware of your earlier comments and understand that we have a mutual understanding about this.
Rape is still rape. If the MC says no after they reach the scene, its still fucked up that they can't leave the room.
The massage is just the first step of the chain of events. You can still refuse Cassie later in the lingerie shop, but it will prevent you from going on the love path.
I always thought that a player who wouldn't enjoy that kind of content would simply load a previous save and go another path. Maybe the fact that there are several different paths available isn't evident.

Hey there. Thank you for playing Summe Scent!
I made trigger maps for the 15$ tier on my patreon. Those are path by path walkthrough (Kind of).

With more than 67 affection points for Eve, and Cassie, you will avoid Scene 7 and Cassie will stay home with you.
I hope it'll help you !
Yo huge thanks for the assistance, gonna restart my walkthrough now.
You're welcome!
You made me create an account just to leave a comment here, I played a few games like this, mostly good and almost made me create an account to say how good their stories were, but yours really made me do it, first of all, the dialogue is great, I felt greatly immersed I had to step out as I was too affected by the story, especially since I got the dark bad ending, damn it fucked me up good I won't sleep at night...had to look up a walkthrough, realised I mostly did good, but fucked up at the apologizing part where I didn't apologize but begged her to forgive Eve, which apparently is the only bad choice I did, went back and apologized and everything went well after that...
As of writing this I am still disturbed by that ending, I rarely get affected by...anything, but that one will stick with me for a while
Hello there!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked it.
To know that my story managed to create emotions is the greatest compliment.

Is there non-con choices in this game?
It's a difficult question to answer without spoiling content that is already in the game or will be implemented in the future.
Some choices may appear to be. But ultimately, there will be none.

Okay thankyou.
When will be the next update after version 6.1... iam thrilled for more..pls reply
I'm still working on it, I'm currently posing the shots for the last scene of the next update. I can't really tell when it'll be done. I'll get it out as soon as it's ready.
The more I play this VN, the more I discover nice details, like Cassie commenting on MC and Eve flirting or bickering.
I am amazed, how each playthrough shows more details regarding the characters. Really love it.
As a heads up, the current preview build is too big for android. Google introduced a cap which limits apks over 2GBs from being installed onto devices on i believe android 10 and up whichever android version released in 2019
That's worrying. The current android test has been tested and is supposed to work (At least my beta testers didn't have any problem with it and I didn't have any complaints about it ). However, the 2GB size limit is clearly indicated by the engine when I compile the final android distribution. So... I don't know if it works for everyone, or just most of the players and I don't know for how long it will work as the size of the game will keep increasing. If I want to keep an android build available, I'll probably have to dramatically reduce the image quality.
To be honest, I don't like that idea.
the worrying part is someone trying to use a tool that was designed to call yr momma on a sunday night, to play computer games on.
#WrongToolForTheJob
First playthrough was a bit uneventful at the current chapter end, So I decided to start a second one where I'd go for the optimal romancing options. Things went unbelievably sideways and dark, but it was great storytelling.
Thank you for playing Summer Scent.
The "dark stuff" you encountered was probably the bad ending on the Dual Love path. It can be avoided with the correct choices.
There are 18 different paths in the game at the moment. There will be some other bad/early endings, but I'm pretty sure that none will be as dark as that one.
Hey, yeah I found a walkthrough to see where I went wrong lol, it's refreshing that the best choice doesn't always have the best outcome like most other games out there. I also think it's good to have some bad ends in there, makes the storytelling and emphasis on your choices feel a lot more Impactful. Went through and played a few of the other paths and had a blast. Excited to see where it goes In future updates and try different playthroughs.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked it !
Love the game thus far, my only critique would be I wish there was animation.
Hey there!
Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to produce decent animations. It's something I need to work on, but it would take a long time before I could produce something watchable.
If you use the Itch.io Launcher for desktop it'll update the game for you instead of having to redownload all the time. As long as the dev doesn't use a third-party host, which OP does do, unfortunately.
Well, I asked itch for more space several times but they never answered me. So the third party host is my only option.
Hell yea. New patch is out. Is there a way to add new content without deleting and redownloading the game ? Keep up the fantastic work, Cap.
Hey there. Sadly, no. You have to redownload the whole game with every update. I'm still looking into a solution for that problem.
Thank you for your kind words!
I played through the game once and loved it. Great femdom stuff in this one.
I played through again and was loving it because decisions actually matter, the game changes a lot with different play throughs.
But holy shit, be warned this game gets fucking DARK. I got to the end of my second play through and just had to close the game. I dont think i want to play any more. Super buzz kill. You're not ready for what this game has in store. I dont know how to feel about it.
Hey there!
Thank you for playing my game.
You're probably referring to the bad end on the dual love path.
It is indeed dark!
That ending is avoidable. With the right choices, you can continue the story on that path.
I have planned some other bad and bitter endings for Summer Scent, but none will be as dark as that one.
thanks for the reply. the game is really good btw. is there a way to have Eve really be submissive? Or that path is not super deep yet?
Also is there a way to have a loving relationship with Cassie, while avoiding the really bad end? I feel like it only lets me kiss Cassie and go down that love route, if i have already started a loving relationship with Eve.
Thanks for replys.
Yes, it is possible. Both for Eve's Submission and Cassie's Love path.
You can interact with one or the other or with both girls. You don't have to romance one girl to have the other one.
The bad end happens only on the dual love path and is avoidable, so you can romance only Cassie, or romance both and make the right choices to avoid that bad ending.
No path is finished as of now.
Not really a comment but if I buy the game on itch.io for $5 do I just get the latest update or do I get future versions as well? I don't want to pay $5 everytime a new update comes out. Also I absolutely love the game and obviously I'm looking to purchase it. Any response would be greatly appreciated thank you.
To be completely honest. I don't know.
On my side, it's labeled as "early access". So you should pay once and own it forever with every updates that will come in the future. But I didn't try it myself so I wouldn't bet my life on that...
Well I'm gonna pay for it so wish me luck and thank you for making the game keep it up man. Love to see another game.
Thank you!
I hope to make some other games too, once I'm finished with this one.
Hi, I bought Summer Scent one year ago to download the latest Version at that time and was able to download the 0.6.1b version in November. You only need to buy it once.
Hi!
Good to know ! Thank you !
It depends on the author. Normally once paid, the game is yours. But some authors bring out new versions at higher prices, so you need to pay that price to own the latest updated version.
Like, you bought it at $5, but v2 is now at $10 - you won't be able to get V2 unless you pay $10... (paying the difference does not seem possible, unfortunately).
Other authors bring out the latest v2 at $15 and then after a certain time, drop down to the original $5, so you just need to wait.
That's good to know. And that's also not a good news.
I plan to release on Steam at some point and, as I understand it, I will have to increase the price tag here on Itch.
I hoped that it wouldn't impact the ones that already have bought the game.
If I understand you correctly, they would then have to buy it again at full price ?
My understanding of the itch price structure is perhaps not complete, as I am only consuming things here on itch. So it might be different than what I say here. But yes, I have paid $5 for a game ( Knightly Passions ) and then when they upped the price tot $10, had to pay $10 again, so in total $15. Currently you can download version 6 for free, version 7 for $1 and version 8 for $10 (discount of 50% as the new price is $20).
I understand that Steam wants the price to be the same or higher than on Steam if the game is available on multiple platforms, correct ?
You should probably contact another author on itch who went to steam (Lockheart from Avalon is somebody who tried this, he might have tips if you contact him via his Discord, although it was apparently not totally positive).
I can think of several things you could try :
Again, best to talk to an author here who did this already.
Hope this helps !
Yes, when you publish on Steam, you can't have the game available at a cheaper price tag anywhere else.
I am not 100% sure about that but I think it includes demos, limited versions and that kind of stuff.
When I'll release it on Steam, I will more likely up the price tag of Summer Scent to match the standard for that kind of game (from $10 to $15 I believe).
I'll have to do some more research, but you're right. I should probably increase the price tag on Itch as soon as possible, to mitigate future problems. In combination with gifting Steam or Itch keys, that could do the trick.
A lot of things to think about!
Thank you!
Its my first time playing this type of games. But i believe there will be future continuation to the story as I got the screen for the main menu before any major events (i.e sex). I dont know how it compares to other games but it feels like a masterpiece with those graphics, and I surely will try different approaches. Keep up the great work, Cap.
Thank you for your kind words.
The story will indeed continue, I'm continuously working on new content.
There are several paths in Summer Scent, many of which include some "naughty" content.
You should probably retry it with different choices!
No thank YOU, sir for such a great effort and forum activity. I have a recommendation; I wish you could bring the notification when gaining affection or dom etc… to a more noticeable place because it’s easy to miss. And can you use larger fonts for dialogue or shade the area behind it. Hope my ideas can help.
The interface will be reworked many times again before the final release of the game. Everything is subject to change. I have plans, I just don't know when I'll have the time to work on that part.
Ngl, I feel like you are captain of an Armada of ships and the ones riding it are us
cuz this game
its just
how come Im not living that life
its just Perfect
amazing really
I just imagine the next game after this
rocks me to me core m8 love it great job
although I do have some problems on my Windows 7 for the loading but its fine
Im gonna get a new laptop now lol
Stay Safe !
Thank you! I'm glad you like Summer Scent !
I'm far from being done with it but yeah, I can promise you that the second game will be better. I'm learning a lot and there are several mistakes and traps I'll take care to avoid in my next project.
Hi there Captain!
Couldn't sleep at 11PM, wanted to try a light adult game and here I am at 3AM having reached what looks like the 'bad ending' (v0.5.5), after an unexpectedly emotional adventure… don't want to spoil things for others, but what a profound and beautiful storytelling experience you have created here!
It's a nice departure from other similar VNs that make it unrealistically easy to build a harem (not saying these are not fun). There's probably a way to do that (I think?) but clearly one must strike a very precise balance to achieve it. I'm looking forward to testing different paths!
This is a game that achieves treating young love & lust in a very mature way. At first I thought there was a lot of narration, but it is well written and flowing, and that's what eventually works. It is quickly made clear that things will not end nicely nor easily with the YOLO route, and that you must think twice about your choices…
The only suggestions I would have is to add some soulful music, and that the thin white font is often hard to read over some images.
Thank you for crafting and sharing this very deep and meaningful story with us!!
Hey there!
Thank you for your kind words
I'm glad you liked Summer Scent. There is indeed a way to grow a love-based relationship with both Eve and Cassie.
The YOLO route, as you name it, is something I wanted to avoid. Some paths are easier than others but I tried to keep things consistent and meaningful.
Music is on its way. I need to find the right track, which isn't easy. But it's a work in progress.
Fonts and readability have been improved in v0.6, but I'll probably have to rework it some more.
Thank you for playing my game!
Well, I donated my bit to get the latest version a few weeks back and played through a few different times over the last week. Very impressive piece of storytelling. My first play through was the bad ending that was a real gut punch.
Well done. I’ll be looking forward to future updates and any other projects you may take on. I happened upon this site early this month and, while there are a few other good VNs amongst a bunch of so-so ones in various states of completion… this one is at the top of the heap to me. Best wishes.
Thank you!
I'll do my best not to disappoint!
It's intended.
It was a feature in the previous build but as of v0.6, I removed it.
I want to be able to control the girls' names for story purposes.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hey, I'm having an issue getting 0.6.1 to install/run.
Do I need to have both 0.5.5 and 0.6.1 installed? I've tried running the 0.6.1 but it says images are missing and it just comes up with text saying I can rolback, ignore etc.
Any help would be great.
Hello.
You just have to unzip 0.6.1 and run it. You don't need v0.5.5.
Are you on windows ? Can give me more details on the error reported ?
Thank you.
Hey man,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I think there may have just been an issue when it was first downloaded and a few files were missing maybe, I'm not sure.
I deleted everything, downloaded 0.6.1 and it extracted and booted up without issues.
Thanks again and I'm excited to experience what you've made, have a great day my friend.
Glad to know you can finally play. I hope you'll enjoy it !
fire on you! (:
The Naughty Captain developer has really made one of the better adult games period. The time put in to release finished updates that stay true to the original story is so rare. Hopefully, supporters, who can give some support to Patreon. Too many good makers fall to the abyss due to lack of supporters. Can't wait for the next release.
Thank you for your kind words !
I played many games on here and never had the urge to leave a comment. But this is different, I created an account extra for this, to let you know that this is truly my favourite game on here.
Other games might have animations, music, voiceacting, minigames, and so on. But SS has what all other games (that I'm aware of) lack: it has depth, it has emotional struggle, it has amazingly immersive insights into the character's thinking, it has the ability to convey panic, heartbreak, lust, and confusion.
When I first played I got the bad ending and it left me struck. You sure must have lived through some tough break-up in order to know all these small details and describe them so well. If not, you seem to have a really good sense of empathy.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I write to make others feel something. Knowing that it works, at least for some, is very rewarding.
Can I spare Cassie and have Eve exclusively? Because boi right now I'm nervous about a death..
To Clarify I hate harems but I prefer Eve and I want to be exclusive WITHOUT Cassie dying or being hurt.
You can. Just don't kiss Cassie, and don't massage her feet when you're given the choice
btw man I mean this in the best way possible but you are an extremely active developer I feel blessed to have found your work. I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Thank you!
I just think that keeping my supporters and the players updated on the progress of the development is the least I can do.
God Damn I'm invested, I read The Comments and was so worried as I progressed about bad endings and death but I ended up getting so invested in Cassie my heart melted watching her. I've not tried multiple playthroughs yet or harems. I just got so interested in Cassie. The story and play through is solid the scenes are so good.
What I love is what you feel is the right decision or the better one can really be the bad insane fuck things up. I thought being honest with Cassie on day 5 after the talk with Eve was the right thing but I upset her and I genuinely felt guilt and heartbreak xD. Please please keep it up.
Thank you !
I hope you'll like what comes next too !
How do I avoid the bad ending? I dont want Cassie to die...
I guess Ill start again and try to avoid starting a relationship with one of the girls...
Hello.
The bad end only happens on the dual love path, if you don't make the right choices.
Here is the steps required to avoid the bad end :
How to avoid scene 7?
Globally, you avoid Scene 7 by paying attention to Cassie and giving her some "pure love" vibe.
The first key choice is to talk to Cassie while in the lingerie shop, during Day 3. Avoid the "Ok. So what?" option.
The second key choice happens on Day 4 morning, when you meet Cassie in the living room : "Give her a proper kiss." / "I'm sorry." / "You keep saying that."
The third key choice happens on Day 4 either at Cassie's place or during the night, with Eve. At Cassie's place: "This morning was very difficult to handle." Or at night in Eve's bedroom: "I don’t accept it." Yes, that means that you can meet Kelly and still have the throuple path right.
The fourth key choice happens during Day 4 night when you join Cassie in her bedroom. Choose "Except maybe cuddling a bit and having a nice talk." Finally, during Day 5, in Cassie's bedroom, you should be able to choose the following options: "I will tell you everything", "I would choose no-one", "Apologize".
With more than 67 affection points for Eve, and Cassie, you will avoid Scene 7 and Cassie will stay home with you.
Thanks. I restarted anyway and went with one lady at a time. I think its too difficult to take the harem path, so I'll avoid it.
Thy dude that was very helpful 😃
I can't unlock " i would like to fuck her" every time , all i get is " this bitch doesn't give a shit about me "
That option is available only if you leave her alone when you find her asleep on the sofa.
Good graphics and interesting story so far, I'll be waiting for the next updates
Thank you for your kind words!
Man I got the bad ending first and that shit is bad for my heart... Trying out different things, game looks pretty cool so far :)
Thank you !
Just finished the free version a couple days ago. needed more, bought current update. Love everything about this game. @TheNaughtyCaptain, I think that stands out to me on this one (and maybe its just what I've played so far in other games?), there are so many paths, so many decisions. I played through 3 or 4 times and was still seeing new stuff.
Wishlist (Some I know were discussed in updates)
1) Hints at achievements so I could figure out what I'm missing
2)The Achievement page some I can open and view all the pictures, others are named and labeled like I unlocked it but they aren't clickable, not sure if I'm dumb or just not all are viewable again
3) Video achievement/gallery, I have a whole page of save points of "important" "Scenes" for "Science",
İt's a good game but pegging is not my thing making some kinks optinal would be better
It is optional.
You have another path for Cassie, without fem dom content.
And you can also completely avoid having any relationship with her.
Yeah i am aware of that what i am trying to say is there should be a femdom path without pegging but it's your game i am not gonna talk shit about it because of the pegging still a nice game
My favorite game I have ever played on here.
Thank you for your kind words!
Imma rest up first
I got a nosebleed
and it does NOT look good XD
Playing for the first time, loving it. Choices mean something. Keep up the good work.
Thank you !
Did it another try, sadly the beginning didn't change, still that nonsensical story about those rumours forwarded to your parents by the schoolmaster, and you get accused and insulted right away by someone you've been all but nice too. What kind of "schoolmaster" tells parents their daughter fools around in the toilets based on rumours ? The MC just measly bows his head, ready to apologize for something that makes no sense. Does it continue to be like that ? I somehow wanted to like the game, but I can't stand stories that impose some conjured up guild on the MC/player, sorry. Drama has to be believable to be accepted, unlike cheerful sexual fantasy. If it sounds made up, stretched, you don't understand why you should feel bad or sympathetic, which has a " cost" for the reader/player that, I don't know, comedy scenes don't have, for example.
I still haven't reworked that scene on Sunday morning.
However, I think it's important to note that Jack's guilt and redemption are a big part of the game. Even if I rework the breakfast with Cassie, that won't change. What the headmaster did, Jack's attitude and so on aren't going to change. Those are things that are or will be explained later during the game. So if you don't like that, Summer Scent may not be a game for you.
Enjoyed the game so far . Keep up the great work.
Thank you !
