Comment on Looking for games that feel like a summer adventure

The first thing that comes to my mind is Summer in Mara. It’s a chill, relatively shallow farming sim with fetch quests and exploration.
Some more based on other games you liked:
- Arida - short-ish adventure game with a bigger emotional impact
- Nuts - probably most similar to Firewatch; core gameplay loop is taking pictures of squirrels, but there’s some plot development
- A Juggler’s Tale - side scroller adventure with some feels
- Deponia - funny point and click adventure series; if you like the genre, try The Darkside Detective (less “summer adventure” more “weird mysteries”)
- Manifold Garden - more chill than The Talos Principle or The Witness, with less feels than the first; decent, trippy puzzle game

I’ll check them out, thanks. I’ve heard positive things about manifold garden already. Mystery stuff might be perfect for fall

Yup, Darkside Detective is fantastic for a non-spooky, but spooky-themed point and click adventure. If you like point and clicks, it’s a bit older, but I really like Grim Fandango, which is a bit more classic point and click with a Halloween theme.
