Summer Daze is an interactive story set in the world of Quest For Glory and Hero-U (check out my review here). If you're looking for an experience similar to these two games, I have to disappoint you. This is no point-and-click adventure game, nor is it an RPG. Basically, all you do is talk to people and try to convince them to help you with the organization of the Harvest Festival. Of course there are some references to the aforementioned games. The protagonist, Lilly, is the adopted daughter of the healer from Quest For Glory I. Then there's minotaurs, Kattas, a couple of characters from Hero-U... And of course the typical Cole humor is back as well.

The story is rather short, but after two play-throughs, I can only assume there's probably a dozen different endings. It's a shame there are no achievements (yet?) because usually those give you a pretty good idea what to try next. The voice acting is pretty good, though. Zehra Fazal especially, does a great job voicing Tilly.

If you're a big Quest For Glory fan, I'm sure you'll appreciate the story and the humor. But if you're not familiar with either Quest For Glory or Hero-U you'll probably miss half of the fun. Give those a try first and then come back to give Summer Daze a try.
