We see an artist painting beautiful landscapes, likely trying to escape the dismal conditions around him. The opening of the game says ‘Prague, 1945’, giving an immediate indication that we are in for something darker than first thought. It starts off with a fully voiced intro cutscene giving you the plot that is extremely well done. Summertime Madness is a single-player first-person puzzle game. The game involves World War II, a deal made with the Devil, a group of obscure almost unsolvable puzzles based on surrealism and a really odd and bizarre post credit message that has left me wondering how to capture my feelings about this indie game. Despite the few screenshots filled with happy pastel-coloured scenes of flowers and trees, the game Summertime Madness was anything but light and carefree. Young friends and couples dancing away with no cares in the world. The name Summertime Madness evokes, instantly, the thought of something that would feel like a musical number out of the movie Grease.
