He's still got a lot to learn about who he is, and he's about to get a crash course. Whether he is ready or not. From Heatwave: Sam's Stay. Michael, the last person Sam ever thought he’d have to live with again. It's been over a decade, Michael says he's changed, his body definitely has.

500 WISHLISTS ON STEAM!! Thank you all so much for your support! When I first started this project, it was just meant to be a small, fun experiment, something I worked on for myself in my spare time. But as development went on, the art got more ambitious, the story got bigger, I started understanding the potential. Seeing so many of you respond positively to the game’s announcement has given me a ton of motivation to keep upping the quality. A big heartfelt thank you to every one of you who wishlisted the game, every like, comment and bit of support helps a ton! There will also be a demo at some point soon so keep your eyes peeled! Wishlists in particular show Steam the game is worth promoting, so if you haven’t already please do! If we manage to reach 1000 Wishlists, Logan here might just take his last bit of clothing off in celebration 😉
