About This Game

One summer can’t change everything. But it can change you.

It Was That Summer is a story-driven coming-of-age game set in Cambridge in 2006. You play as Leon, a visiting student trying to find his place in a new school, caught between studies, friendship, and the first stirrings of love.

Over two unforgettable weeks, you’ll attend lectures, take quizzes, and spend long evenings with classmates from around the world. Each person you meet, from friends to rivals and teachers, will shape how your story unfolds.

Every choice matters: who you sit with at lunch, whether you study or skip class, how you respond to a midnight SMS. Each decision shifts relationships, opens new paths, and leads to one of many possible endings.

This isn’t a story about saving the world. It’s about the summer that will stay with you forever.

Features

Choice-Driven Narrative : Every decision shapes Leon’s path and the people around him. Romance and Friendship: Build connections, uncover conflicts, and find your place. School Life : Attend classes, pass quizzes, or skip them in search of adventure. Minigames and Secrets: Write essays, take photos, even join a football match. Cambridge, 2006 : A nostalgic world brought to life with hand-drawn art and mid-2000s music. Over 60 Endings : Every player's summer will tell a unique and different story.
