About
The August Before is a meditative narrative 3D puzzle about cleaning up, sorting out and packing up your life
before moving on.
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.
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.

Janky mechanics, the narrative is too flimsy and ambiguous to be satisfying.
Un buen juego fue una experiencia única, este juego nos presenta una narrativa que mientras uno ordena cosas nos van presentando nueva información, al final nos hace experimentar algo muy humano, el decidir que cosas se van y que cosas se quedan en una mudanza es algo nostálgico, la música es muy hermosa y los pequeños detalles lo hacen un juego que aunque breve es toda una experiencia emocional. Aunque tiene algunos errores como que a veces las cosas se caen o tampoco hay algunas instrucciones claras en las tareas que al final uno por inercia queda algunos instantes tratando de saber que es lo que sigue y se queda vagando por la habitación, se buguea un poco el juego, la verdad me gustó la modalidad y la historia pero el gameplay no tanto por los bugs, lo compré en oferta pero sinceramente no pagaría el precio completo.
Me encantó la referencia a Life is Strange, también vi referencias a libros conocidos, entre otras cosas y se me hizo muy lindo todo eso, el estilo visual me encanta y su vibra es tan acogedora. La historia se me hace tan real entre linda y triste y la verdad no quisiera que terminara solo en este juego, pero entiendo completamente el mensaje y uff, necesito más juegos así. 10/10 Esta noche los cumbieros levanten los brazos Los wachiturros tiren paso Esta noche los cumbieros levanten los brazos Los wachiturros tiren paso Tírate ¿qué?, tírate un paso Tírate ¿ro?, tírate un paso Tírate ¿qué?, tírate un paso Va para adelante, tírate un paso Esta noche los cumbieros levanten los brazos Los wachiturros tiren paso Esta noche los cumbieros levanten los brazos Los wachiturros tiren paso Tírate ¿qué?, tírate un paso Tírate ¿ro?, tírate un paso Tírate ¿qué?, tírate un paso Va para adelante, tírate un paso Wa-chi-tu-rro
I loved this game. Not only does it have stunning visuals and a beautiful artstyle, but the storyline also made me emotional multiple times and the gameplay was really nice.
Overall I thought the game was fine, its pretty much just a glorified "find the object" game with some story that you need to piece together yourself. The major thing is there was one bug that I had run into that prevented me continuing where I had to close the game, my biggest recommendation is to save often.
Very beautiful little game
Fantastic game, emotional story if you pay attention to the context clues, and amazing soundtrack for the game
I really liked the gameplay because it calmed me down and the visuals are very pretty.
i have a theory that these girls are gay...
Streamed for the first time on this game; I really enjoyed it. Very beautiful visuals, each character having their own color scheme and symbol, cute story with interesting details about them... Also nice soundtrack haha. Definitely recommend for a relaxing gaming session.
