Monthly Game Spotlight: Happy Summer

Yes...."Happy Summer" is undoubtedly a very heartwarming, often sincerely cute, story, with beautiful characterization and, in my view, an unpretentiously adorable (no mean achievement in itself) lead character in "Rosie". Illustratively it is exquisitely done with, as can be seen, a relatively unconventional style that is excellently staged and produced, both in its static and animated forms. It is, in my view, an exceedingly well executed story. The only drawback to it, in my opinion, is the use of the generically repetitive and, as the story slowly (oh-so-slowly) progresses, increasingly tiresome, sandbox element. However, with regard to Caizer Games, to my mind at least, clearly a top level creator in this genre, I was profoundly disappointed in their all but tragic decision to shelve their previous (first, I think), seemingly all but complete creative offering; "My Lovely Sara". For me, though story-wise little more than a mature version of "DMD", it is an absolute mastepiece in its own right. In the very best traditions of Daz, a truly amazing creation, and introducing one of the most stunning, delightfully enchanting female lead characters I have, to this day, come across in this genre. In fact, solely within the context of this particular type of story, I consider Sara to be every bit as adorable, if not more so, as the lead characters in "Melody", "Sunshine Love" and Jonesy's "Christmas Eve".
