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.

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

感觉还可以吧,我没看剧情,只收纳物品了。 我不知道是因为周围有人在抽烟以至于我不得不戴口罩、再加上长期盯着电脑屏幕所以有些犯恶心,还是我单纯晕3D所以犯恶心,总之有些不太舒服。 游戏指引做的有点一般(或许也不能说一般,也可能是我收集癖大爆发,比方说游戏中的一些纸,我以为会收纳进盒子里,尝试了所有可以放纸的盒子后,却发现它们的最终归宿其实是垃圾桶......)。收纳物品时,物品放置的位置基本是固定的,手里最只能拿两本书或者两只袜子(我很想可以一次性拿完所有同类物品,比方说拿一堆书或者拿一堆袜子,这样就可以不用来来回回跑了)。 过了两遍游戏才把所有成就拿到,不算特别难,就是需要细心点(因为可能会忽视一些小细节)。
на самом деле игра достойна и денег и времени. успокаивает и по большей части мозг начинает отдыхать
A short but cozy experience with a relaxing atmosphere and plenty of little details to discover. Cleaning and exploring the room felt surprisingly satisfying, and the environmental storytelling gave it a nostalgic charm. Looking forward to the next chapter. 8/10
i adore this particular storytelling technique of using things as a point of conversation. the things that we own in our most intimate spaces say a lot about our life and our experiences. this game reminds me a lot about how unpacking made me feel but i think this game was more relatable as i tend to spend more hours on cleaning due to me finding lost memories and having the urge to reminisce, relive, and sometimes get hurt again trying to remember. art style of the game is addicting, giving major life is strange vibes (i guess they took a lot of inspiration from that because of the pricefield poster, the polaroids, and the mixtape that sounds a lot like their theme song). and i just love cleaning up, it's so satisfying to see things back in order but this game also leaves a bittersweet note in my heart because i too want to move out and move on. good game for sentimentals like me who are rendered paralyzed by their memories
so yall i did not find the smth i keep forgeting help pleaseee
Ótimo para quem prefere gastar dinheiro com jogo de organização ao invés de realmente organizar o quarto porque vc tem depressão. Recomendo bastante, principalmente se vc é uma lésbica triste que perdeu o gato e tudo que te restava, mas é legalzinho, também e fofo. Não acaba com seu psicológico, mas organize seu quarto real também.
Rotating the items doesn't work and the game is piss easy to softlock (just left- and right click at the same time when holding an item). The lack of testing is disgusting.
cozy and cute game づ. ◟マ
