Steam Store description

Heatwave is an ongoing story-driven visual novel series following Sam's life. This first game focuses on the prelude to his summer, with many more adventures to come! The last thing Sam expected during his final summer before college was to end up staying at Michael’s house, his mom’s ex-boyfriend. A man he hadn’t seen in over ten years and didn’t have the fondest memories of. What was meant to be a short stay quickly becomes something far more complicated, when old resentment meets unexpected curiosity. As Sam meets new people and struggles with unfamiliar thoughts, one thing becomes clear: this trip isn’t just about getting by, it’s about discovering what he really desires. KEY FEATURES MEET HOT GUYS Meet a cast of hot men who gradually awaken Sam’s imagination and desires, each with their own charm and personality. Enjoy playful banter, naughty fantasies and intense moments of intimacy. A cast of talented voice actors has brought each character to life. MAKE CHOICES Make choices that shape Sam’s experiences, conversations, and the moments you see along the way. Your decisions influence how his story unfolds, revealing different sides of the people he meets. 2000+ CG RENDERS Enjoy a cinematic visual novel experience told through more than 2000 detailed CG images and videos, carefully bringing to life every expression, touch and steamy moment. THE STORY CONTINUES This is the first part of an ongoing story-driven visual novel series following Sam’s life. The mysteries, relationships, and discoveries introduced here will continue in future releases. CHAT WITH GUYS…
