    SUMMERHOUSE is a calm, niche, and relaxing experience. Although it won't be for everyone, I liked its unique style and safe action. Moreover, it let my creativity run wild.

    It leaves Friedemann's SUMMERHOUSE in a tricky spot. Yes, there is no doubt that this is a game that allows the imagination to run wild, and the lovely pixel art visuals and delicate backing track will aid with those vibes. But without an end goal? Without something to aim for other than the unlocking of achievements and Gamerscore? It leaves this as a game that will appeal only to the most niche of niche gamers.
