Last Day of June is an adventurepuzzle video game developed by Ovosonico and published by 505 Games. It is based on Steven Wilson's song Drive Home. The game was released for PlayStation 4 and Windows in August 2017.
Plot[edit]
Last Day of June is centred around a couple called Carl and June, who suffer a tragedy when a car accident takes June's life and leaves Carl in a wheelchair.[1][2] One day, Carl touches one of June's paintings of people who had been present on the day of the accident and discovers that he can revisit their past memories. As Carl relives their memories, the characters can perform actions that change the sequence of events that led up to June's death.[2] Carl manages to prevent the initial accident, but another event causes the car crash. He continues to change events multiple times, but each attempt still results in the accident by different circumstances. In the finale of the game, Carl realizes that he cannot change that someone dies that day, so he switches places with June, sacrificing himself instead, saving her and their unborn child. However, shortly before the end of the game, Carl finds a sketchbook made by June which lists attempts by her to save him, rather than the other way around.
Nate Hohl of All Gamers proposes instead that wheelchair-bound Carl is June's fantasy and manifestation of grief, while the game's final revelation is her recovery.[3]
Gameplay[edit]
Last Day of June is an adventurepuzzle video game in third-person perspective. The player initially controls Carl who is on a date with June on the day leading up to their accident. Afterwards, the player controls Carl in their home at a later date and discovers that they can interact with June's paintings. This allows the player to take control of various characters from the day of the accident in an attempt to solve puzzles to alter the sequence of events that indirectly caused the accident.[2] As the player fails to prevent June's death, new paintings and characters are unlocked to allow for an increasingly complex sequence of changes.
Development and release[edit]
Last Day of June was developed by Italian studio Ovosonico and published by 505 Games.[4] The game was directed by Massimo Guarini.[1] Guarini based Last Day of June on the song 'Drive Home' by British musician Steven Wilson.[1] Wilson himself was involved in composing music for the game.[1]
The game was announced in May 2017.[5] It was released for PlayStation 4 and Windows on 31 August 2017.[4]
