About the Game
Being a freshman at the university is harder than you thought. After failing your first semester, you've lost your hope for fun during the summer vacation. Now you need to attend makeup classes and pass tests, if you still want to be a student of Game Design Course. But that's not the end of your problems. Your parents decided to stop paying for the flat you rent, so you need to find a job and earn enough money to make a living. Don't forget that life is full of surprises and more obstacles might come, when you expect them least.
Despite having a hard time, you're not alone. The company of beautiful girls can certainly make your life a little bit pleasing and... spicier. Become an adult and make your sex life go wildly out of hand.

Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Sorry about the last shenanigans with updates. We wanted to fix one problem for one player, and it turns out that we messed up a couple of things, so we had to revert to the last working version.
Because of what happened yesterday, some of your save files might got broken (if you turned on the game and it saved with the "new" version).
You can fix your save file by going to the save file location
(By default it's in AppData > Local > Long_and_Hard____Summer_ )
Find the line
Room="ref room 46"
And delete
ref room
So the line looks like this
Room="46"
If you have problems with doing that please contact us and we can try to fix your save file.
Sorry!
If you press F10 the game will switch to window and this setting will be saved.
A small patch to version 1.11 has been released.
With this update, the game should look better on full screen on higher resolutions.
Have fun!
We had to backtrack from introducing mouse controls. :( The first tests were promising, but we encountered enough difficulties along the way that in its current state, this feature would be more trouble than fun. We may come back to this feature at some point, but I don't want to make any promises now because it turned out to be more difficult than we thought. If you've been waiting for this, we're sorry!
Thus, the list of changes looks like this:
- The PC minigame saves its state, so when you return you can pick up where you left off
- In the same minigame, the controls have changed - you don't need to press space to dash
- The last level of the same minigame is a little easier
- The nurse scene is unlockable after week 8 (Hasegawa-sensei will still be available in the classroom and will allow you to retake tests, enough to achieve an "A" grade with full knowledge)
- Dirt in the apartment rises a little slower
- Spanish translation added in beta for about 60% of the content
Have a nice game!
We're two and a half days into the game's release and the interest in LaHS has exceeded our wildest expectations!
A big high-five for everyone who likes our game! And for those who don't like it - thank you for your comments and tips on what we could do better. The place where we are now as IPP came only from our willingness to develop. As a small two-person studio (working with great artists), we knew from the start that we couldn't please everyone with our first Dating Sim, and collecting feedback is just a natural part of getting better at what we want to do. And comparing the reception of LaHS to our previous games, we're doing pretty well.
Today you received the first set of small tweaks that we made thanks to your feedback. Thank you again for it!
A list of changes:
- We changed the description of the "True Criminal" quest - many of you pointed out that it is not clear what needs to be done next
- Hold ESC to exit minigame on PC - accidental exit will no longer happen
- Fixed name input for Chinese version - now it is possible to enter all characters
- Akari "problem" fixed - a particular combination of events prevented the relationship with Akari from developing. And now not anymore!
- Z and X keys - for those who are used to the controls known from RPG Maker games
- Default Name - Our quick fix for Steam Deck issues where you couldn't enter your name, which prevented the game from starting. From now on, the game proposes a name for the hero, which can of course be changed. This isn't our last word on the subject, but we don't have access to the device so it's hard for us to fix this issue quickly.
Have a nice game!
