''Everlasting Summer'' (Бесконечное лето) is a Russian-language [[RomanceGame Bishoujo Game]] VisualNovel developed by Soviet Games, and which is also available translated into English. It is an [[HGame eroge]], although there is an option to [[AdjustableCensorship disable adult content]], and some distribution outlets have [[{{Main/Bowdlerise}} removed the option of adult content]], altogether.
The player takes on the roll of Semyon, an ordinary young man with thousands, even hundreds of thousands of those like him in every ordinary city. But one day something completely unusual happens to him: he falls asleep in a bus in winter and wakes up... in the middle of a hot summer.

And answer the main question - how to come back? Should he come back?
The game, built using the Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine, was first released as a Russian-language demo (consisting of the first two in-game days) on New Year's Day in 2010. The full Russian-language version of the game finally received a freeware release in December of 2013. An English version became available in November of 2014, still distributed for free, via {{UsefulNotes/Steam}}. Many people were quite surprised that the Steam release retained the game's eroge elements. 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. Fortunately, it did not take players upset at this long to discover [[GameMod a way around it]].
