About
The August Before is a meditative narrative 3D puzzle about cleaning up, sorting out and packing up your life before moving on. In Chapter One, play through the first snippets of the story and get acquainted with your room, and the people in your life.
Teenage love, first losses, and notes from friends are scattered in the corners: explore the details of the heroine's life, pack up the life you will take with you, and say goodbye - if you can.
And remember - you can't take the past with you.
All is well that ends well — and all is well that ends.

Clean up the room before leaving, find the necessary items, and pack them in a suitcase.
Keep track of the diary, change the music, arrange the objects, and try to remember not to disturb the dark corners of the room.
Sort through the items and appreciate the resulting order and the details of the story that unfolds in the process.
Explore the chaos and enjoy your freedom to drag, erase, disassemble, break, and fix things in the highly interactive space.

I couldn't finish this demo/chapter because of the extreme motion sickness it induced. That said, the gameplay was fun and the story was potentially interesting. It just needs some accessibility options.
wish i could play this, but the tiny fov makes me sick. i can't believe we are still not including fov sliders in games by default.
[h3] 一邊整理房間一邊重拾主角回憶 [/h3] 第一次拿到東西都會有發光提示,很容易知道該放哪裡。 遊戲參雜一點點的解謎要素。
To naprawdę piękne, wszystkie osiągnięcia ♥
Muito relaxante e interessante, além de ser muito lindo, gostei desse prólogo e recomendo testar se está em dúvida se compra ou não a versão completa, eu com certeza irei adquiri-la em breve, pois amei esse prólogo.
Крайне расслабляющая игра про уборку. Селф-шейдинг в ней тоже смотрится свежо и интересно. Само наведение порядка реализовано не сложно и приятно. [b] [u] Достижения:[/u] [/b] Лёгкие. [b] [u] Время прохождения:[/u] [/b] Сама игра - 30 минут, платина - 30 минут. [b] [u] Итог:[/u] [/b] Отличный пролог про уборку. Советую всем пройти.
떠나기 전까지 청소 안 한 방 청소하기 (매일 업데이트되지는 않으며, 작성자가 원할 때마다 업데이트됩니다.) [1일차] 방을 청소하고 떠날 준비를 하는 게임입니다. 방의 내부는 청소를 안하는 건지 이리저리 어지럽혀져 있으며 이를 정리하고 짐을 챙겨야하죠. 스페이스바를 눌러서 해야할 일과 챙겨야할 짐들을 확인할 수 있습니다. 방 어딘가에 있는 물품들을 챙겨와서 가방에 담고 그 외의 물품들은 각 자리에 맞춰서 옮겨야 하죠. 책은 책방에 꽂고 쓰레기는 쓰레기통에 버리고 반려동물 물품도 모으고 단추나 실 등의 재봉 재료도 모으고. 옷장을 열어서 정리도 하고 옷들도 챙기고 침대 정리도 하고 그 와중에 노래도 듣고. 중요한 사진과 그림 등 이것저것 물품들을 요리조리 옮겨나가면 됩니다. 이것저것 할 것 하고 챙길 것 챙기고 청소할 것 청소하다보면 방 정리가 어느정도 마무리 됩니다. 약간의 퍼즐적인 요소들도 존재하며 이를 완료하면 숨겨진 것들을 발견할 수도 있죠. 평가 작성 시점을 기준으로 챕터 1만 지원되기에 모든 것을 완료하면 짧게 다음 챕터에 대한 이미지만 보여주고 끝나는 듯? [아쉬운 점] -미래에 지원 예정이라도 다른 언어 지원이 안된다면 설정에서 빼는게 햇갈리지 않을듯 -저장 미지원 -못찾은 것을 감지할 수 있는 힌트 기능이 있으면 좋을듯
Such a cute game to pass time. I spent way to long trying to do the math problems because i thought it was for the code (that was my bad, i should've looked around more). The demo story was a rollercoaster and bittersweet and the art style is very pretty. 10/10!
I really, really enjoyed this game. I can tell the creators of it are fans of Life is Strange, Unpacking and have really good taste in music as well as books. This is a vibe. I love the music, I enjoyed the nostalgia and style of this the environment. It's a great prologue!
милая по стилистике игра про переезд из родительского дома, проходится довольно быстро, я неспеша закрыл на 100 за минут 30. мне игра показалась довольно грустной, но возможно это из-за того что мне тоже скоро предстоит переезд из-за университета и я проецирую эту игру на себя особенно остро. тоже короче монатки паковать придется. (среди них не будет фоток лучших подруг-лесбиянок) а ну и вообще что за срач в комнате, у нас не гг, а енот какой-то ей богу, какая кружка в шкафу, вы ебанулись что ли. про афган на кровати я вообще молчу 8 "боже, кто так штукатурит" из 10
