Housing Summertime (and the End of the World)
A downloadable existential crisis for Windows and macOS

On a quiet summer day,
a spaceship rocks two girls awake from their slumber.
How long has it been? How many centuries will pass - before the sun were to finally take us in its embrace?
Before the sun explodes,
I must tell her that I love her -
from a millenia ago and for a millenia more.
A post-apocalyptic story inspired by the horrors of helplessness and the fruitless endeavour to exist and love in a dead world.
Follow "university researchers" Kobiko Megane and Housui Sagawa, trying to find themselves and each other in a destroyed world before it's all gone.
- 9,000+ words of existential crisis (crisises?) that happen in space(?), abandoned spaceships(?) and probably other places too
- 45-minute playthrough (or less, or more, depending on your reading speed)
- The sights of a quiet summer day, still finding its place to shine somehow amongst the isolation
- Two girls who try to define what it means to live (and love) in a world that no longer accepts such frivolities
- A journey
- One conclusion.
Inspired by Tsukumizu's Girls' Last Tour, Touhou Lensed Night Sky, HELLDIVERS 2, and what could have been "Koakuma Kiss" (RIP).
This is a "non-canon alternate timeline story" of my game series, [ Terrenusverse ].
The downloadable version is recommended (and currently the only available build), but a web build will (soon) be made available.
Content Warnings
This game features discussions and depictions of [ death, illness, and (nuclear/chemical) warfare ]. There is no unnecessary gore or jumpscare-y content, but the story may take some unpleasant turns at times.
If these topics are worrying for you, please approach the game with caution.

it’s amazing how much you were able to accomplish with just two characters! and the drawing at the ending was very cute :)
