Psy High 2: High Summer
"Psy High 2: High Summer" is a 270,000 interactive teen supernatural mystery novel by Rebecca Slitt, and the sequel to her 2014 smash hit, Psy High. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
One year after saving Kingsport High at the junior prom, you’ve graduated, and you’re working as a counselor at a sleepaway camp before heading off to college. Your power to read minds certainly comes in handy when you're in charge of a cabin full of nine- and ten-year-olds! You're responsible for taking care of them and teaching them everything you know. But you’re also enjoying a summer of freedom: you’re away from your parents and on your own.
Camp Cedarcrest has its share of mysteries. Why do the people in the camp’s photos look like they never age? Why is the groundskeeper always lurking on the edges of the camp? Why can’t your friends remember what happened last summer? And what about the ghost stories? Generations of campers tell stories about seeing “the White Lady” floating through the woods.
All your friends from Kingsport High (and their powers) are just a text away: you can always look to your best friend for support, ask the editor of the school newspaper to help with research, or sneak a date with your hometown sweetheart.
But in order to make it through the summer, you’ll have to find the truth about Camp Cedarcrest. And when you discover a powerful source of time magic, you also learn that it comes with a high price. How far are you willing to go to preserve or destroy it?
• Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, or bi.
• Find summer love with your co-counselor or a mysterious stranger; or deepen your relationship with your high school sweetheart.
• Sing songs around the campfire, eat s’mores, make friendships that will last forever.
• Learn magic from a powerful mentor, and teach magic to a new generation.
• Earn your campers’ love – or just ignore them and have your own fun.
• Win Colorwars!
• Save Camp Cedarcrest – or shut it down for good
• Explore a secretive society and its powerful magic.
• Be a good influence on your campers, or teach them to be troublemakers, just like you.

Only done one playthrough so far but i love it. It does a great job of building off of the previous game without taking away from it's individual plot. As for the feel it's a good mix of mystery, magic, friendship & camp fun-ness. All in all a great game that I'd definitely recommend.
I actually purchased this book. A continuation of the first book, this one has you at a summer camp with a bunch of kids that you are in charge of with a side of the supernatural thanks to magic being around. I felt like I never got to use my magic in a showdown or outsmart anyone. I'm not certain what the stat checks were but I got a good ending although bittersweet.
A worthy successor to the first game. Very well executed and has a fair bit of replayability. The one thing I'd say is a bit of a detractor from an otherwise 5 star game, is that it doesn't feel as though your character has gotten any more powerful overall, even if you push to max your magic abilities. This somewhat pulled me out of the game, as I imagined that, after I consumed all the Vicilicum magic and had tapped into the Nexus, I'd be much more powerful than how I was presented here.
An incredibly detailed, choice-rich, sweet, funny story. Engaging and fun; I particularly liked the interactions with the kids. Highly recommended!
I remember playing the first Psy High and just loving it. This one definitely exceeded my expectations and left me with the same warm, longing feeling the first game did those years ago. I truly love this wonderful story and will likely never forget it.
Great story and great characters, only thing stopping it from being 5/5, is the way some of the choices are set up.
It's a good read but for me there's no save game option on the original so I can't load my previous character into this one. EDIT: Save thing got fixed 5 stars now.
The best! I can't help but keep rereading this! I wish there will be Psy High 3 because I can't get enough of this story!
I enjoyed reading the story, but I don't like the fact that you have to buy the rest of the chapters to complete the story, kids can't anyways buy things, we don't have money, and parents aren't going to waste money on stuff like this
Disappointed. This is definitely pro-queer. Not subtle at all and is more like an indoctrination spiel.
Worthy successor of the first one! Please make a third one! Kudos to all of you!🤩
The ending actually made me feel sad. The camp closed down and it was pretty sad. It was really good
This is so well written! I don't think I ever got bored in any part while reading this.
It won't let me import my saved data but the story is overall good
Haven't played yet but right off the bat I can't import my saved game.
Another phenomenal installment, and very well worth the wait
where's psy high 1?
pretty gud sequel. make me remember them good times of having someone to care about.
Good but very short sadly. Wish It was longer.
Loved the first game and absolutely love this one too. 5 stars for sure.
Such an amazing follow up to the first book! Loved it!!!
This is one of the best choice games if played before psy high 1
injoyed reading Psy 2 when will Psy 3 come out I can't wait to download/update it.
A satisftying sequel of supernatural mystery story with sentimental summer vibe
The story is very good and the characters were awesome, but many parts of the story felt rushed. There was little time to interact and create meaningful bonds with the cast and the story couldn't reach it's full potential. I loved the way this story handled diversity. It wasn't forced and there were no token minority characters. Every character had different reactions to the MC's choices and it was amazing. All in all, this was a very good game and i hope more games like this will be published.
