Summer Gems
released on Sep 01, 2021
Summer. A special time when anything can happen. The possibilities are infinite: even a shard of glass worn by the sea can become the most precious treasure. Friendships are like that. In a seaside summer, friendships can last no longer than a splashing wave. But like those pieces of glass, they're turned into treasures by the sea. That is what happens to Leo and Mara. Join them in this little summer break through the salty breeze of the Mediterranean Sea. Explore. Live. Love.

I was recently perusing the games that were a part of a number of massive itch.io charity bundles I've purchased and this game caught my eye. From looks alone, it appeared to be something at least somewhat similar to A Short Hike, which was an absolute gem of a game. Unfortunately, Summer Gems isn't much in comparison. The controls are awkward, with just WASD movement and no camera controls and the game isn't much more than clicking on seashells and then choosing emotions to read some canned dialogue. Didn't do much for me, I'll have to continue searching for A Short Hike-likes.
