The August Before
A downloadable game for Windows
About
Have you ever started a deep cleaning at 3am only to realize half an hour later that you're sitting on the floor surrounded by old, unnecessary but sentimental items? With time, it becomes clear that our past takes up every corner and crevice, every drawer and cabinet, leaving only one option — to run and start anew. But what if the past continues to stare back at you from every shelf?
When moving, we choose which parts of our lives to take with us. All the little things in our room — accumulated and hard-earned life, which will eventually end up in one box or another.
Rewind to the August Before... Before the heroine sets off to seek for her Great Perhaps in her new life.

The game is a cozy vibe game! Love it it up till now
Liked it a lot! Entered some bugs, but it was rather pleasant experience
Very cute and calm game! Beautiful graphics, emotional music and enjoyable gameplay. Cried at the moment with the inscriptions on the sheets
I enjoyed the game, meditative. Beautiful, BUT I need an explanation of how to finish the game because I collected everything, I cleaned everything, but some items are removed from the shelves (books) and can not be put back, the trash scale is full but where to click that the game tells me "thank you for playing".
hey! thank you so much for playing, we are so glad you enjoyed it. we've just figured this out this morning, that the closing screen stopped working, and we will fix it and upload new version today. so now you are getting "thank you for playing" from us directly lmao
Nice!
