On Friday, March 13, 2020, Oracle and Bone Studio announced that their new Yuri visual novel, A Summer’s End - Hong Kong 1986, would be released for PC, Mac, and Linux. The release date was announced in a launch trailer for the game, which also revealed the game’s steam page.

A Summer’s End follows the story of Michelle and Sam, and how their chance meeting evolves into a deeper romantic relationship. Set in vibrant Hong Kong in the year 1986, the game tells an original story about love, family, and culture, including the LGBTQ history of the region, as expressed on Oracle and Bone’s website. The studio describes it as a “story about seeking identity and meaning in a rapidly changing world where conflicting worldviews and cultures collide.”

The visual novel is inspired by Hong Kong cinema, 80s anime, city pop, and retro art and fashion. It features over 400 original, and unique hand-drawn pieces of art and a vaporwave inspired soundtrack, including music from Timecop1986, Crystal Cola, and Stevia Sphere. Optional adult content will be included with the game on launch.

A Summer’s End will be released on PC, Mac and Linux on Steam in English on April 23. The studio announced plans for future versions of the game on Android, iOS, and home consoles. They also hope to translate the game into Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean after release.
