The August Before: Chapter One

About this game

‎The August Before is a meditative narrative 3D puzzle about cleaning up, sorting out and packing up your life before moving on. In Chapter One, play through the first snippets of the story and get acquainted with your room, and the people in your life.

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.

All is well that ends well — and all is well that ends.

Features

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.

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.
