Acts:
The Endless Summer, Book 1 is divided into three narrative acts of around 5 chapters long. Although no additional keys is needed to progress through the acts, your progress is still evaluated at the end of each act. Depending on how many clues you've collected, you will be unlocking a bonus scene, partially or fully.

Clues:
Your character has the chance to collect clues throughout the book that'll uncover the series' mystery. If one collects most or all of the clues at the end of an act, then they will be treated to a bonus scene. Dossiers, files on the main characters found in Chapters 6, 10, and 11 will also unlock an epilogue and a final puzzle.

Friendship Indicator:
Unique to this story is a meter system calculating a character's friendship with your character, which will determine in the future if they are confident enough to share secrets with you. Unlike Choices' other series, where you are simply told if you improved or damaged your relationship with another, Endless Summer actually uses a friendship emoji right next to the names of significant characters.

The emoji ranges from an angry blue face for an "enemies" status to a laughing reddish face for a "best friends" status. When making a choice, other characters will approve or disapprove upon it, sometimes affecting your relationship with them by up or down a few points.

Characters with this feature are all of your classmates (Aleister, Craig, Diego, Estela, Grace, Michelle, Quinn, Raj, Sean and Zahra) as well as Jake, Lila and IRIS. The following are the labels to the different friendship scores:
 * Hate
 * Dislike
 * Neutral
 * Like
 * Friends
 * Close
 * Best Friends

Trivia

 * This is the first series that lets the player unlock bonus scenes without directly paying diamonds.
 * The  Fox  on the book cover is purple instead of blue.
 * This is the first series that lets the player choose a customizable male character.
 * This is the first series to implicitly feature bisexual love interests who are interested in your character regardless of your gender. Previous stories have implicitly featured bisexual protagonists with fixed gender, such as Kenna Rys in "The Crown &amp; The Flame" series or your character in "The Freshman" and "The Sophomore" series.
 * The chapter titles' are named after direct quotes from the chapters. For example, the title of Chapter 5, "It's What You're Meant For", is said by Estela towards your character, as she orders you to go back to your cushy college life.
 * On December 7th, 2017, Pixelberry released the soundtracks of the series.
 * In Chapter 6, if you choose to go investigate Rourke's office with Sean, you will have a chance to try entering the password to his computer. If you enter the correct one, "ALccADDSccUP", (which should be impossible before having collected all the dossiers), your character will create a temporal paradox and be thrown through time and space until King Crab, a guardian of the fourth dimension appears and resets everything for you.
 * The "Old Note" clue is expanded further when the gang end up at Neptune Cave in Endless Summer, Book 3, trying to find the other half of the island's heart.
