505 Games and Ovosonico’s award-winning Last Day of June has launched on Steam for PC and PlayStation 4. The interactive tale of love and loss from an all-star team of creators including critically acclaimed director Massimo Guarini, musician Steven Wilson and writer/director Jess Cope is available now worldwide for $19.99. As part of a limited-time launch promotion running from today through Thursday, Sept. 14, indie game fans who purchase via Steam will receive a 10% discount and a bonus copy of another award-winning 505-published title, Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons.
“This game is a deeply personal project that explores universal themes of life and love, but also the contradictions of loss and how we process the emotions that come with it,” said Massimo Guarini, founder and CEO, Ovosonico. “My goal was to create an interactive experience that anyone can relate to, whether or not they are a traditional gamer, and I think we achieved that with Last Day of June.”
Last Day of June is a poignant single-player journey that progresses participants from a viewer joining Carl and June on what begins as a magical outing to their favorite spot, to a character deeply intertwined in the narrative, as they try to unlock the sequence of events that could save the day – and June’s life. In this artistic experience, players will solve emotionally challenging puzzles in an attempt to turn back time, compelling them to ask themselves “What would you do to save the one you love?”
“Last Day of June is an emotional experience unlike any other, and we’re thrilled to add it to our line-up of award-winning titles,” said Tim Woodley, SVP of global brand and marketing, 505 Games. “This cinematic adventure really resonates with everyone who has played it, and we’re happy to have played a part in helping bring Massimo’s vision to life.”
