Bientôt l'été

Bientôt l’été is an evocative two-player videogame that invites players to experience the poignant journey of lovers separated by the vastness of deep space. Within this immersive environment, players navigate a simulated ocean's shore, engaging in solitary walks filled with nostalgic reflections inspired by Marguerite Duras's literary works.

The game presents a striking yet melancholic landscape with an empty beach, strong winds, gentle melodies, and a colony of electric seagulls, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and introspective. Here, players confront the complexities of love—its joys and sorrows—as they yearn for each other amidst the solitude. The longing escalates as they share fleeting interactions across intergalactic networks, connecting through their holographic forms.

Through the surreal medium of a chess game, they communicate, echoing timeless sentiments shared by lovers throughout history. As they explore this strange world—past abandoned tennis courts and remnants of colonial architecture—they encounter an array of ordinary yet absurd treasures. In this dreamlike experience, the game masterfully examines the essence of love, reminding players that time may be absent, but the resonance of affection lingers on, no matter the distance or pain.
