August 9 is Cecilia’s birthday. Happy birthday to our disco queen!
Cecilia’s character and fashion has been largely inspired by Anita Mui, who is an iconic Hong Kong actress and singer that defined much of 1980s-1990s Cantopop and cinema. She represents the youthful and industrious energy of the era. Bold in her artistry and expression, Anita Mui regularly challenged traditional gender representation on stage in a society that was largely conservative. Her life and legacy is a major inspiration to our team.

Hello everyone. We were blown away by these amazing pictures from Nikki and Victoria who so wonderfully and reimagined A Summer’s End in their photo shoot. We would like to share with everyone their project. Kudos also to their awesome team behind the scenes Lien for photography and styling by Monica and Manning from Studio mm&b
Nikki and Victoria would like to share the following words as well: “This game meant a lot to us on a personal level, so we wanted to make sure we would be able to recreate the moments and details, from the hot 80s HK night scenes to the intense emotional connection the characters had in the game. We’ve been together for almost 10 years, so the chemistry is genuine between us, but we wouldn’t have been able to pull it off without our hair and makeup team, or our photographer.”
“End of Summer” To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, we have a wallpaper version of this artwork available on our website. We hope everyone has a lovely day.
We really appreciate the mention from The Gamer. Honest and poignant article by Stacey Henley. The ‘80s is an era special to us. It’s a time marked by social and political issues that still concern us now. We will do our best to represent this in our current and future projects.
We appreciate the feature in South China Morning Post. It’s so important to have authentic LGBTQ representation and it’s heartening to know that there are those in Asia discovering communities and new ways of personal expression through digital channels.
We hope there can be more sincere discussion in regards to the dismantling of systems which further perpetuate the marginalization of LGBTQ in Asia and that queer expression and acceptance go beyond virtual spaces.
2 year anniversary A Summer’s End - Hong Kong 1986. Thank you very much everyone for being here with us. I really appreciate from the bottom of my heart.
