Last Day of June asks, ‘What would you do to save the one you love?’

Italian independent studio Ovosonico and indie publisher 505 Games today announced their first project together, Last Day of June. The interactive adventure has an emotional story that challenges players to answer the question, “What would you do to save the one you love?”

The game promises to be an interesting original title in an industry that is full of sequels. In the game, a car accident claims the life of June, and the game challenges the player, as June’s spouse Carl, to relive that day and try to save her. It’s kind of like an emotional version of Bill Murray’s comedy Groundhog Day, said Massimo Guarino, creative director at Ovosonico, in an interview with GamesBeat.
