A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Experience the ups and downs of summer class! Meet girls, earn their trust (or break their hearts) and practice your photography skill in the process. No matter what you choose, you'll feel the heat.



Summer Heat is a romantic visual novel with heavy emphasis on choices. Some choices affect dialogue, while others impact the story in major ways. There are five main girls for you to romance, each with her own story branch, and even more side girls if you only want a casual fling...


This is the public version of Summer Heat. The public version is always one update behind the latest Patreon version. If you'd like to play the latest version, or if you want to support the game's development, visit our Patreon page!




The newest release is available on Patreon!

Are you planning on releasing this game on steam?

(+1)

Can't find the comment I saw earlier, am I even supposed to try and be all over the place? Harem game?, seems like this time i naturally decited that will most likely not be possible and started being picky.

(+1)

No, Summer Heat is not a harem game. There may be some tough decisions ahead if you play it like one. :)

(1 edit) (+1)

I would try and play it several times obviously and since I'm  still somewhat new on here i tried out a lot of game and would like to save myself some time, can you get the teacher already? Any little things I should now? I played it the first time and got somewhat close to everyone.

Ending up in car lady if thre should not be any more scenes.


I'm always happy to encounter a few games with some good humor. Seems like the setting is alright, I just need to see what the overall quality of the animations are if they are not still getting reworked.

Why no Android Download?

(1 edit)

Most of the game and its UI was designed for PC, but the next versions will have Android.

How can I get Jenni CH02 picture?

(1 edit)

You can find the picture on a poster after using phone in Millers car early on. Right after the visit to the store.

is this an one girl story or an harem?

(1 edit) (+1)

Not really a harem game, but you can fool around with most. Especially side girls.

(1 edit)

so i know this might slip by but a question

do you plan on making 0.2 ever free?  

i feel like if you make like 0.10 and 0.11 might as well make the f2p players get an extra part

also will the game ever be free due too reasons such as abandoning the game, enough finance, big donation etc.?


please answer, i am very very bored and want to be noticed

also bc why not.


best regards,


sinter.

(1 edit)

Hey! 0.2 is already free as the current public version is 0.4. Updates to the public version will always follow our Patreon updates, one version behind. :)

(1 edit) (+1)

thanks for letting me know, and also, you're a great dev

only you have ever answered me. 

thanks again!

warm regards,


s1n4er.


edit: i didnt realize it was 0.4, as it seemed relatively short.

i understand if you don't wanna disclose this information, but what's an "estimate" on the next part to be free?

hey, if i like it, i might buy the rest.

who knows.

thanks!

(1 edit)

0.5 will be available for free on Itch after we publish 0.6 on Patreon. We try to avoid estimating because sometimes everything doesn't go according to plan, but in short, soon. :)

you realise its version 0.4 right

bro i wanna say mike is a fuckin homie bro 10/10 honorary bro

Hello, your game is a masterpiece, it has a great story and drawings, I can say that it has become one of my favorite ren py games. I'm looking forward to the new episodes, I really liked the music playing in the main menu, I searched but couldn't find it.

(1 edit)

Thank you! The song is Faded Memories by Hooksounds. :)

(+1)

Oh my god! Thank you so much for the song, I'm going to listen to it in some of my emotional times. You are one of the best! I wish you success for your game!

Android version?

(1 edit) (+1)

Yes, the next versions will be available on Android.

(1 edit) (+2)

I just want to say im astonished by the quality of this game. Good visuals, great writting, variety of girls (when most girls in 3D games this style are baloon boob clones of eachother) and as a cherry on top very interesting and well implemented secondary game mechanics with the phone. This is my first ever comment on itch, and I just want to make clear that your efforts are recognized. Keep it UP, if i could support the patreon I would.

(1 edit)

Thank you so much! Appreciate the comment and really happy to hear that you enjoyed the game. ❤

(+1)

Hey man, I just finished this and it's really good. All this girl's are really beautiful but have you considered a harem in one of the endings? Or it's just puro solo LI

(1 edit)

Hey, thanks for playing! There's no harem exactly, but that doesn't mean you can't try. 🙂

thanks, but does that mean it's not impossible right? 

(1 edit)

Harem with the main LIs as an ending isn't planned, but during the game anything can happen. 👍

(+2)

Hello, finished the game yesterday and fell in love with the characters, especially Sophie. The game was fantastic in every realm, writing, characters and especially the renders, but I just want to know one thing;

How long would the game last more or less (in game) since these chapters all took place in only the first day, and if they're gonna be there for the weeks like they said, then this is going to be a long project.

Great game tho

(1 edit) (+3)

Hey, glad you like the game and the girls! What the characters say in-game isn't really a reflection of the length of the full game. More detail might be a bit spoilery since the game is under development, but you can expect to find more answers in the next updates. :)

(+1)

Ok great, thanks for the reply, I'm looking forward to it.

(+1)

Hey mate, hope this game isn't recently abandoned as I haven't seen you reply in to anyone in about a month. Any updates on when the next update could be?

(1 edit) (+2)(-1)

Hello, the game isn't abandoned. We're active on Patreon where we post weekly status updates. There is no estimation currently but 0.6 release isn't too far now. :)

(+1)

Oh brilliant news, well happy to hear it. Might need to hop onto patreon next i get paid so long as nothing happens.

(1 edit) (+1)

You can also wait for the current version to become public. 0.5 will become public on Itch soon when we release 0.6, and that will double the content available for free. :)

(+2)

maybe mate, much love for creators like you.

(+1)

I just finished the available chapters and I was honestly blown away. This game gave me so many nostalgic feelings to my times at summer camp and all the crushes and summer romances. The details on all the characters is top notch, and I am really intrigued about each of them and can't wait to know more. Great work on this, and best wishes for continued success.

(+2)

Probably the Best VN out there in spite of how short it currently is compared to most VNs. You could have a game like Dark Magic by F.Lord, which goes on for an extremely long time, and it does not match the quality of the story & characters & everything Summer Heat has to offer. What I especially appreciate about this game is how slow paced it chooses to be, opting instead to let you get attached to the characters and all. This is probably the first VN I have ever played that has really made me slow down & read the story throughout all of it, & I love the story. I like how a large sum of the girls, especially the main ones, are quite modest & don't automatically try and prostitute themselves (*Coughs* Cassandra). I noticed in your reply to one of the comments that you plan to add pregnancy, along side marriage & all makes me most excited about the future of this game.

I absolutely love the potential roots you can take with the characters, such as Mia, who matches a more innocent highschool sweetheart.  Sophie who seems projected straight to wifehood (according to her answer to the questionnaire), and I absolutely love that. Eve I love as a potential individual the character can invest in to help her come out of her rock (without the requirement of a sexual relationship). And Helen is a really good character to demonstrate the main character's, well, character, by him treating her as an equal in spite of how annoying she is presented. I love all the characters, they are really well written and not all that surface level (*coughs, Mr. Miller*). As a little tidbit of criticism (seeing as I only have praise for this game), Mike is treading a fine line between a gamer & jock, which usually tend to be mutually exclusive. But other than that, very good.

Oh, & the visuals. This is clearly the best looking VN I have ever seen. I would absolutely love to know what program you are using to make these graphics,  because they are absolutely fantastic. The characters are well detailed, fairly distinct, and charming in their own way. The eyes, of all things, really do help in immersing you with the characters, and do hit a good sense of realism without being uncanny.

My favorite scene thus far is the scene right after the questionnaire, where the player reflects on the character's answer. Not only does it look absolutely stunning, but it really does help you care about the characters. I also do like the added feature of often times just answering with "...", because sometimes that is just how we feel. Overall, the best VN I have ever played, and will be very much beyond enthused for the next releases!!

(1 edit)

Hey, thank you for the review! Your question slipped by previously, but I'd love to answer it now! We use mainly Daz3D for the characters and a little bit of Photoshop magic. 😊

(+1)

When is the next update coming out? I can't wait to continue the story.

(+3)

Hello, very good, it's been a while since I liked a game so much, the story has left me very intrigued, which leads me to ask some questions:

The first is, at what rate do they release updates with story expansion?

What economic cost does each expansion entail, and how often would you make updates if you automatically obtained financing?

And my last question is, who did you base your models on for Bree and Sophie? Are they completely invented or do these goddesses exist?

Thank you very much and I hope that together we can make this great game go ahead, I wouldn't want to be left with the intrigue of why that envelope of money and what the characters are hiding.

(1 edit)

Hey, it's nice to hear that you enjoy the game. The updates are released when they're ready. The development time varies from update to update since they all vary in size and complexity. Sophie and Bree are not based on any models, they are designed for Summer Heat. :)

(+1)

Hello, thank you very much for answering, I would love to help financially the development of this game, but I can't decide when choosing a monthly plan, could you tell me what the difference is between the "Enthusiast", "Founder" and "Influencer" plan ?

What plan would you recommend?

(1 edit)

We recommend Player tier for access to the latest version of the game. The higher tiers have some upgrades like extra renders, polls and early access. :)

(+1)

Thank you very much for the recommendation, in the end I signed up for the founder plan, it has the advantages of the highest plan and I also like the idea that I am supporting you from a very early base of the game.

Cheer up guys!!

pregnancy planned? multiple solo Li routes/endings?

(1 edit) (+2)

Yes and yes. :)

(+1)

GLORIOUS thank you!!!

(+1)

The game looks interesting, I just started playing. But how do I turn on auto-forward? I'm having to constantly click. The auto-forward button is grayed out and so its not clickable.

(1 edit)

There will be working auto-forward in future updates to save everyone's fingers from clicking fatigue! :)

(+1)

okay, thanks.

(1 edit) (+2)

A super super good game, is among the best i have played and this is just the demo, the story is entreteining and have good pacing and The characters are super interesting and make you want to know everything about them apart from fucking them (things that few H games achieve).


Pd:I need a datable helen update!!!!(asuming she is not datable yet in ch2 and ch3)[If someone ask why, idk her cringe go so hard that is hot, in a wierd way]

Hi, can I ask this game is a harem and for the Russian version of the mod or multimode you will do with the correct answers

(+1)

The game is amazing :D The writing is great and characters are simply magnificent. Can't wait for more. 

Wonderful work!

(+2)

By far the best game I've played. Can't wait for future updates :)

(+1)

Really loved it! Will there be future public releases or options for a one-time-payment for updates?

(1 edit)

Hello! Yes, there will be more public releases and eventually the game will be available on Steam for one-time-purchases. :)

Will you also put it up for purchase here? From Germany so no porn on Steam.

(1 edit)

We can't say for sure yet, but all public versions will be available on Itch for the foreseeable future. :)

any news on a possible release date for chapter 5?

(1 edit) (+1)

Hey! The release date is currently TBA. It is in the final stages of production, however. :)

(+1)

okay thanks, I was just wondering because I am going to sub on patreon when it does release.

(+3)

steam release would be great I hope they don't screw you over like they have with many other great games. 

(+5)

Any plans for a Steam release in the near future?

(1 edit) (+6)

We're planning to release on Steam when the game has more content. Don't know exactly when that is yet. :)

(+3)

Thankyou for getting back to me! Sounds great! Im following so ill patiently wait! Game looks great! :)

(+1)

Would later updates come to itch.io?

(+2)

you can go to patreon for public version for free

(1 edit) (+2)

Yes, eventually. But it might take a while. :)

How long is it?

(1 edit)

It's a demo, not very long at all. We have a public version up to CH03 available on Patreon (for free) and it's longer. :)

(+2)

I have enjoyed what I was able to play so far keep up the great work!

(+1)

Android release when?

Show post...

(+2)

Really good quality on the game, will support in future when its a bit more developed. goodluck! 

(+2)

(4 edits) (+3)

Hello! Yes, Chapter 02 will be on itch. If you don't want to wait until then, it is available on our Patreon page now as a public release. :)

(+1)

This is good, but i don't support people with patreon anymore, everytime i do they only make updates every half a year and only add 10 minutes of content and 2 or 3 scenes, sry

(1 edit)

Glad you enjoyed the demo. We do our best to get new content out as fast as we can, which currently is about 20-30 minutes of gameplay every 2 months. We'll be releasing Chapter 02 for free on itch when we get Chapter 03 out. Feel free to check back in then. :)

why is Chapter 02 not on itch you have Chapter 04 on patreon now??

(1 edit) (+1)

We decided to keep just the demo on itch for now. Patreon is our main platform and CH02 and CH03 are available there for free. :)

(+2)

really good im really surprised
