Speaking of, Steam carries a ton of localized and amateur visual novels. They’re very popular in their native Japan, and though still not a huge market over here, have been picking-up steam in recent years.

I would have preferred further expanding on Yulya, Zhenya and Olga's character background but after seeing that only the characters in harem ending make a re-appearance in the sequel Frosty Kiss which is also a free to play(F2P) visual novel, I can also understand less emphasis can be given on these characters.Visual Novels are a pretty niche genre, at least for most Western markets. Most of the main characters' backgrounds are written well with sufficient variety in each person's behaviour. For those who are looking for a pure romance visual novel, the somewhat bizarre plot where time is reversed and Semyon can romance and get intimate with any girl of his choice after leaving and returning to Sovyonok might reduce the appeal of this visual novel. Some of the romance routes also feel rushed and do not seem to make any sense. The horror comedy in Miku's route may provoke a share of jump scares together with comical elements as a small change from the usual romance encountered in all other routes. There are numerous discussion posts in the game's discussion forums in Steam asking to clarify more about the storyline.
Together with the disjointed plot especially when reading the route in the DLC content, it appears very strange where after the protagonist having achieved a good romance ending and getting intimate with 6 different girls, the protagonist would end up automatically in a romance route with Zhenya just to make fun of the system. The mystery and supernatural elements featured in the story are somewhat bizarre and difficult to follow for those who are new to visual novels. Plot and character backgrounds: Each route will require approximately 1-3 hours of reading to reach both the good and bad endings. I decided to give this visual novel a score of 9/10 based on the following factors: Semyon will participate in a few more activities at the pioneer camp leading to a route with Slavya, Alisa, Ulayna, Lena or an unnamed male pioneer which can have a good or bad ending. After an act of mischief caused by one of the girls, Semyon will discover a disused mine and bunker alone or with a girl of his choice. Strangely, Semyon appears several years younger, none of the camp's occupants have any knowledge of the bus he arrived in and the season at the camp is summer instead.Īs Semyon settles into his accomodation and training routine at Sovyonok pioneer camp, he is also introduced to additional fellow pioneers Miku, Zhenya, Elektronik and Shurik and the pioneer camp nurse Viola. Upon waking up, he finds himself in front of a Soviet-era pioneer camp Sovyonok with a young girl Slavya to welcome him into the pioneer camp where he is introduced to the headmistress of the camp Olga Dmitrievna, three other girls Alisa, Ulayna and Lena. With no goals in his life, Semyon decides to hop onto a late-night bus while wandering around in an unnamed Russian city during a winter night and promptly falls asleep while in the bus. This free to play visual novel by Soviet Games(Also known as Beskonechnoe leto or Бесконечное лето) features a male protagonist Semyon who lives alone at his apartment and spends a lot of his time surfing the Internet on his computer.
