About

Return to the Summer of 2007...
Once somewhat of a local legend in their hometown, Mallory turned down a record deal in favour of a scholarship a decade ago. To say that they felt a bit of regret would be an understatement; they spent the bulk of their university years watching their former band mates sell out shows and records, stewing in bitterness the whole time.
After several years of rejection and struggling, they've finally gotten a second chance in their grasp — only to question whether it's something they even want anymore.


After years of hard work, Mal has finally gotten everything they've always dreamed of: their band, No Prospects, landed a coveted spot on the 2007 Friends and Foes summer tour, and their latest single has been picked up by some big radio stations. So they should be happy, right?

The bassist of The Fractured — the current band that's on the playlist of everyone who's in-the-know. Most would consider Emerson's quiet and withdrawn nature ill-suited for the spotlight, so it's fortunate that he seems to get overshadowed by the rest of his group.

Mallory’s best friend from university who was dragged into No Prospects largely against her will. Despite her initial reluctance, ever-critical Di has since given her all in every single performance – and won’t hesitate to point out anyone she believes to be dead weight.

An old friend of Mallory's from their teenage basement show years. Having spent the past decade turning down permanent positions in favour of juggling odd jobs with occasional freelance session work, Beckett surprised everyone when he joined No Prospects.

A last minute addition to No Prospects after the abrupt departure of their previous guitarist, Lucas struggles to keep his head above water in a sea full of industry veterans. What he lacks in technical skill, he more than makes up for in pure enthusiasm.

Jump into the past: Go on a cross-country tour during the summer of 2007, set to an original soundtrack that draws inspiration from 90s and 00s emo/indie rock.
Customise your character: While summer haze/glory days has a protagonist with a defined history, you'll be able to customise parts of their identity, like their name, pronouns, appearance, and voice.
Make meaningful choices: Shape your character's personality, relationships, and goals through the choices you make.
Experience it all over again in New Game+: Completing your first playthrough will unlock a New Game+ mode that adds new story content and epilogues — almost doubling the amount of content in the playthrough.

The game is a cozy piece of art, it explores deep themes and frankly themes I've felt and still feel towards things in life. I loved the atmosphere and especially the character dynamics, maybe because I related to the Main Character and their internal struggles but the game has a way to really take you there in its own world. I loved Beckett as a whole and his friendship with us, Di and Emerson also had me. Lesser characters such as Kendra and Emerson's band still have a way to take stage and make you care and/or root for them. Despite, perhaps, a singular run being short there's a good replay-ability for different endings and achievements, especially how you yourself manage to end up from being a mere indie-ish band. This game is a lovely gem that if you're fan of casual VNs that may touch deeper themes without going too far (I'd say at least and so far through my runs), then you might enjoy summer haze/glory days.
I absolutely loved it! The story is very immersive and it gives me a sense of comfort since music, bands, tours, and such had always been a scene I'm obsessed with. The characters are all well-written and I love how you could explore your relationship with each of them a lot more in the New Game+ playthroughs. The music is great as well, and of course, the art is just beautiful, I cannot begin to describe how much I admire everyone who worked on this game. I have a habit of staring at my screen when I really like an art style and I have to admit, I did that more than in any other visual novel game I've played before, which is probably why I've already played for 11 hours despite only completing one playthrough. I'm so happy I saw the demo when I was looking for games in this app, bro. And I cannot glaze over this more; it was worth it. I still have quite a lot of achievements to aim for in my next playthroughs and I'm still so stupidly giddy. I whole heartedly recommend this!
the writing in this game is so good oh my GOD. the art is to die for, the music is so good, and-- above all else, this is a game about growing up, and characvter growth. it was a very strong rendition of what it was like being in this kind of scene in the 90s/2000s, in all of the different romance and friendship routes-- particularly in the one that i got, when going for Emerson, in that substance use wasnt just for enjoyment, but in some people, it was a way to survive, even if it was slowly killing them anyways. honestly the only thing it needed was the Monster energy drinks as hydration and not water. i would give the game a 10/10 if it had that (jk) this game is for me, and any fan of visual novels where romance isnt the whole point, a wonderful contribution to the genre. and also, you can keep trying to flirt with your friends moms. so theres that
I've been looking forward for this to finally come out, and I'm glad it did. ggs to the teams, you've done a wonderful job. The story is sweet, the characters grow on you, and it encapsulates the heavy but unavoidable toll of time very well. Also, the ability to see the effect your choices have on the narrative after the first playthrough is such a life-saver for those of us obsessed with getting very specific results or achievements.) Great game!
É uma ótima VN! Gosto muito da temática e de todas as questões que vão se apresentando ao decorrer da história, te deixa bastante imerso.
