Hang out, fight monsters, and discover your town’s darkest secrets in Usual June, a third person action game about summer break and the end of the world.
It was supposed to be a quiet summer break: working odd jobs, hanging out with her new friends, and talking to ghosts. Instead, June is investigating Fen Harbor’s darkest secrets, fighting spectral creatures, and canceling a space-time cataclysm before existence itself breaks down and everything goes quiet forever.
Follow June and her new besties (alive and dead) as they investigate the town’s century-spanning secret history, explore a shattered multi-dimensional continuum, chill at the cemetery, defend themselves against massive monsters from beyond the pale, and deflect their parents’ questions about what they’re doing after they graduate.
Usual June is a third person action adventure game with frantic, flexible combat, a witty cast, and an original conspiracy story that is equal parts terrifying, funny, and sweet.
