About Summer Scent
Jack's summer takes a turn when his parents leave him alone with Eve, his frustrating stepsister, for a week. Their tension might have stayed cold if Cassie, Eve's best friend, didn't step in to push them toward something resembling peace. What starts as a domestic comedy quickly darkens as an unnamed threat creeps closer, and The Cabin, Summer Vacation shares this same shift from lighthearted setup toward genuine danger. Jack finds himself making choices that go beyond family drama and into choices with real consequences.
Summer Scent branches across eighteen different routes, each one shaped by how you've treated the people around you. Choices matter in the way they determine relationships and outcomes, not as superficial forks in the road. Your actions toward Jack's companions ripple through the narrative, determining whether you move toward reconciliation, conflict or something darker still. A kind word to Eve early on might open paths closed to someone who treated her coldly. The game tracks these shifts across its branching routes, so the person you've become by the story's midpoint shapes what comes next.
The game is in early access games, so not all routes are complete yet. If you need help getting it running, there's a guide to how to install Ren'Py games on this site. The current build gives you enough to see how the branching works and whether the tone suits you, but expect changes and additions before the full release.
Developer's description
Jack is 18 years old and enjoying his summer break. While his parents are away for the week, he has little else to do except relax by the pool and keep an eye on the bane of his existence, the ever-misbehaving Eve.
It’s a recipe for disaster unless Eve’s best friend, the enticing and luscious Cassie, meddles in their unfinished business and coaxes them toward reconciliation. But she’ll need to act fast. As their days of living under the same roof draw to a close, time is running out for Jack and Eve.
With a vicious and insidious new danger lurking at their periphery, Jack will need to grow up fast if he hopes to protect his friends, his loved ones… and maybe even his own life.
You play Jack. What path will you choose?
Summer Scent is a visual novel and character-driven story that your decisions will shape.
Through a combination of critical choices, you will influence the narrative and forge your own path. Your actions will have consequences, good or bad, pleasurable or nefarious, wholesome or destructive.
There are eighteen different routes and several variations for you to explore.

Bug corrections. Some undefined variables are now defined, some badly indented blocks are now in their correct place.
I've found and corrected the bug that was preventing me from generating translation files. So I can now seriously think about internationalization. Maybe a french version in a future update?
