Fortunately, it did not take players upset at this long to discover a way around it.
Alas, this was to be a short lived surprise when, a few days after release, Steam released an update which removed all of these elements from the game. Many people were quite surprised that the Steam release retained the game's eroge elements. An English version became available in November of 2014, still distributed for free, via Steam. The full Russian-language version of the game finally received a freeware release in December of 2013. It was first released as a Russian-language demo (consisting of the first two in-game days) on New Year's Day in 2010. The game had a rather shaky development with numerous staff shifts and dramas. The game as a whole is deeply steeped in Russian internet subculture, and many in-jokes will likely be lost to non-Russian internet users. The game was originally conceived as an eroge where players will get to "romance" with the moe anthropomorphised mascots of Russian imageboards―the main female characters of Everlasting Summer are all based on Russian imageboard mascots (e.g.: Alisa Dvachevskaya is based on a mascot of Russian imageboard 2ch.ru, Dvach-chan). The game, built using the Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine, was developed by the users of Russian-language Image Board. And answer the main question - how to come back? Should he come back? To understand what happened to him, Semyon will have to get to know the local inhabitants (and maybe even find love), find his way in the complex labyrinth of human relationships and his own problems and solve the camp's mysteries. In front of him is "Sovyonok" - a Young Pioneer camp, behind him is his former life.
But one day something completely unusual happens to him: he falls asleep in a bus in winter and wakes up. The player takes on the role of Semyon, an ordinary young man with thousands, even hundreds of thousands of those like him in every ordinary city. It is an eroge, although there is an option to disable adult content, and some distribution outlets have removed the adult content scenes altogether. Everlasting Summer (Бесконечное лето) is a Russian-language Bishoujo Game / Dating Sim Visual Novel developed by Soviet Games, which is also available and translated into English.
