Gallery
Check story progress and revisit cutscenes by accessing the Gallery under the Main Menu. Dialogue choices may have an effect on story progression in A Summer’s End - Hong Kong 1986. See what scenes are unlocked in the Gallery.
Note the game follows a point-based system for whether or not certain scenes are displayed. Story wise, there is no right or wrong dialogue choice in terms of completing the game, but we thought of having these optional intimate scenes as extra bonuses. These scenes reveal through dialogue choices where the player, as Michelle, is able to understand herself, her feelings, and also understand Sam better as the story progresses. We wanted to reflect how Michelle could further her relationship with Sam when she is cognizant of her own individuality, but also able to compromise and come to an understanding with another person quite different from herself.
