How I Spent My Summer Vacation is a cancelled “horror” action game that was in development by Santa Cruz Games for the Nintendo DS and PC. As we can read on Gamasutra, players would have took the role of a little girl named Joanne, armed with a chainsaw to take down zombies that invaded her summer place.
It’s like a survival horror game for kids,” said Neuse. “This is the one we usually show when we’re pitching new game ideas. I think it’s every developer’s dream to eventually be doing our own ideas. […]”
Sadly only a playable demo was created before “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” was canned, maybe because they did not find any publisher interested in the project. Some screens are archived in the gallery below, to preserve the existence of this lost game.

Neuse = Alex Neuse = Gaijin Games, makers of the Bit.Trip series. Hm!
Hmmm…a “survival horror” game for children. Yeah, I can see why it nobody picked it up. ;)
There was also a movie of the same name. Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent my Summer Vacation.
Looks so ugly from the screenshots. Good thing they cancelled it.
