Who We Are: The Team Behind Bad Summer
Our Mission
S&J Games is a small indie team with a passion for visual novels. We believe storytelling is the most powerful means of inspiring and teaching others. Combine that with gaming and interactive choices, and the result can be groundbreaking.
With a free, great software like Renpy and other tools/assets provided by the community, we are committed to telling the world our emotional, thought provoking stories. We hope that our choice based games will challenge your moral compasses and make gamers think twice before making decisions.
It’s always been our dream to make creative, narrative-driven games. And we won’t stop until those dreams come into fruition.

Our Story
The idea for Bad Summer started with a simple question: What if an ordinary summer camp job turned into something much darker? Inspired by classic horror films, urban legends, and interactive storytelling, we wanted to create a visual novel where players feel like they’re unraveling a real mystery—one that fights back. With a mix of suspense, romance, and terrifying choices, Bad Summer was born.”
