Summer Session is a new mac game that gets you a date! You always needed wanted one, didn’t you? Sorry to tease; I couldn’t help myself. Back to the game.

Summer Session is a totally fun and different adventure where your mission is: find a girlfriend! Gotta love a mission like that. It’s summer but you’re in summer school. Doh! Not only do you have to study and pass your exams, but you have to balance out your life by having a life…outside of academics, that is. Consider it this way: re-live your summer session and make better choices this time around. Meet unique characters, make friends, and find romance, then play again to unlock all the endings. Excellent manga-like art.
