Last Day of June

Last Day of June combines many elements I love, but the experience falls painfully short.

The game is very poorly optimized and runs with tons of lag, long loading times, and choppy framerates. There are no graphic options to adjust to help it run any better. It's also not uncommon to run into game-breaking bugs that make it impossible to progress or, in some cases, play at all.

The game only saves at set points, with no way to save inbetween those points and no quicksave points (not even at the multiple cutscenes and loading screens you go through between savepoints). The pre-set savepoints are few and far between, it's easy to not notice when you've reached one, and you never know how long until the next one. Allegedly this is so the flow of the game isn't disturbed, but if anything negatively affects the flow, it's going through the same (long!) parts repeatedly just trying to get to the fabled next savepoint before you have to log off or the game bugs out.

My last point is a matter of taste, but the near-constant vocalisations were awful. The characters never stop making cartoony noises ("brrr! brrr!" when they're cold, "HUH????" everytime something even remotely surprising happens, giggling and squealing every time they see each other, and so on). I hate to say it, but I hated it. It just felt cringey. I understand that some voice acting is required to convey a lot of the emotion that can't be read from the characters' faces in this art style, but game like this calls for something much more subtle.

All in all, as much as I hoped and wanted to love Last Day of June and as bad as I feel ripping apart a game that was clearly made with a vision and that had a lot of potential, I just cannot recommend it.

I remember struggling so much when i played this game for the first time, and honestly these very kind, emotional, painful and bittersweet bits of the story should be easier to enjoy. For sure. While some parts are straightforward, you may get confused very easily in some other.

Second playthrough years later did not disappoint though. For those who just want to enjoy the story, I strongly recommend just opening a walkthrough just like I did. Immaculate experience, immersion and fulfilment. The in-game world looks so pretty as well. Skip all the headache, enjoy all the heartache.


Well, and of course - STEVEN WILSONS IS MY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

:(
Last Day of June is a beautiful, yet very sad and haunting game. The story is very well written, heartwarming but also crushing, it hooks you from start to finish, and I definitely recommend that you play it in a single session.

It has a few bugs and some unskippable cutscenes that you've already seen can be annoying.

The soundtrack is the main reason I learned about Last Day of June. Steven Wilson is just incredible, and the game's soundtrack is no different.

What happens in the past stays in the past; it is part of your entity.
You cannot change the past, but you WILL make your future, TODAY.

This little game might make you cry.
The philosophy behind Last Day of June revolves around grief, love, fate, and the inability to change the past.
Without revealing too much, Last Day of June is more than just a game—it’s a reflection on life’s delicate balance of joy and sorrow. It invites players to think deeply about love, fate, and the choices that define us

cool

Last Day of June is a beautiful story about a couple who's living their happiest life together and suddenly having a terrific accident. Rewind the story and replay throught differents characters linked to the story to try to stop the accident. The designs are bright, colorful and the soundtrack is peaceful. I highly recommend this game!!! 💗

Love this game so much...

6/10

I wanted to play a game but instead, I was forced to watch the same unskippable cutscenes over and over again.

Very Good Game, Simular concept to mementos in To The Moon.

Incredible. Okay, first off, there's the graphics. Very unique style, particularly in the character design, but more importantly, the backgrounds are STUNNING. It's beautiful during the day, it's beautiful at night, it's beautiful all the time. Kudos to the art director, I mean damn. Overall, the game is extremely cinematic and creates the perfect atmosphere for the game.

And then, the story. Powerful and moving. Exquisitely told. Is it somewhat predictable? Sure. Who cares. The idea is 10% and the delivery is 90%. And here, the delivery is absolutely on point. There's no dialogue, which I normally don't like, but I feel like it really works well in this game and with this art style.

As for the gameplay, it's very easy. It's a cinematic, story-based game, so that's fine. You can't skip cutscenes, so that can get a little repetitive, and I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning when I realized that's what it would be like, but honestly, I didn't end up finding it that bad. It's an experience, just appreciate the art. Also, if you want to get all the memories, make sure to get the kid's, best friend's, and hunter's BEFORE you get to the old man's section.

Anyway, absolutely fantastic game. And be ready for feels.

The game has a very unique style. I suggest to try and get all the memories before finishing the game, because after the end you can't play the chapters again and need to replay from scratch.

What a fun game!

This is a great game and a very nice soundtrack too.

Holy shit, unplayable without being able to skip cutscenes. Jesus fucking christ. Unreal how no one thought of giving that option.

Sad, but really great story.

This beautiful game shows outstanding visuals that widen your eyes and a soundtrack that makes moments feel magical. I love this game and it speaks to me strongly. Made my eyes watery, only complaint is some cutscenes get a bit repetitive but a wonderful game and worthwhile play.

This game is beautiful and broke me. Highly recommend.

The game did crash on me a couple times but overall it is a great game. The story is obviously sad, but it was a great experience. I'd recommend! Beautiful art work, and story line.

Beautiful but PC version is broken. Will crash when reading save file. You can troubleshoot it but it’s annoying

I am extremely dissapointed. Do not waste your money on a game that may or may not work. There is a common issue of the game launching only once, then never again unless you keep deleting the save file, which makes no sense. It´s been around for years and has not been addressed by the developers. 20 euros for 2-3 hour game is already a bit high, but for one that doesn´t even work, that´s insane.

The graphics are pretty, the music is good. Sadly, can´t say more because I didn´t get to do more. Asking for a refund.

I am absolutely devastated by the beauty of this game.

Really loved the art style and music. A sad short story about coping with loss.

What a nice little story. It's a bit of a shame that it's very short but I suppose the mechanics would get repetitive. It's interesting that there is no dialogue yet you understand the story perfectly. I enjoyed playing as different characters and learning about their lives. It made me care about them. It looks like the devs borrowed a few ideas from Life is Strange but I suppose they're just big fans.

If you like time travelling and puzzles, you should try this game. Remember not to rush and collect all bubbles to learn about each character.

steven wilson & great gameplay = :D

Beautiful poignant story of life and loss

tears at the end... just wow... amazingly told story.. well worth the playing
