12 itemsAbout the Game
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.
Pack your life
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.
Brush the dust off your past
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.
