About
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.

Je me devais de poster une évaluation positive pour « Heatwave: Sam's Stay ». De tous les jeux gay auxquels j’ai joué, je crois que c’est celui qui techniquement est le plus abouti (mais trop court à mon goût). Il laisse loin derrière lui ces « visual novels » qui te laissent pendant 10 minutes sur le même écran, avec la même silhouette qui se répète de décor en décor. Ici, rien de tout ça : la réalisation est superbe, 100% gay, et surtout le jeu n’essaye pas de se soumettre à une censure qui fait de plus en plus la loi sur les réseaux sociaux. Les scènes d’action sont très explicites et cerise sur le gâteau, elles nous gratifient de séquences animées. Pour ceux que l’anglais rebuterait, j’ai réalisé une traduction française. J'avais naïvement imaginé pouvoir vous la proposer sur "Nexus Mods", mais le staff a refusé ma traduction sous prétexte que le site n’héberge pas de jeux pour adultes. Ce qui, par ailleurs, ne l’empêche pas d'autoriser des mods au contenu parfaitement explicite. Bref, j’ai proposé le mod au créateur du jeu, j’attends sa réponse. En attendant, ceux qui le souhaitent peuvent télécharger le patch de traduction sous l'onglet "Discussions" du hub de la communauté de ce jeu. J'y ai ouvert un sujet intitulé : "[PATCH FR] Traduction Française (V1.2)" avec toutes les instructions d'installation et le lien de téléchargement sécurisé. J’ai passé vraiment beaucoup de temps sur cette traduction afin de proposer des dialogues qui ne soient pas un copier-coller du traducteur Google, mais une vraie traduction, adaptée au français et à ses expressions. Pour terminer, je vous encourage à soutenir CodyFord le créateur du jeu, il le mérite amplement.
Jogando você nota que está pela metade, ou menos que isso, em menos de uma hra e meia vc finaliza, jogo dá a entender que vc vai ter um trelele com o filho do Michael e nada acontece pq a historia termina antes, e pra piorar foi lançado um jogo semelhante bem melhor que esse que é SUMMER VACATION (que alias super recomendo, pq além do sexo, a historia se você seguir a trama principal é muito boa) o jogo SV tem no mínimo 5 hras de jogabilidade, dependendo do caminho pode durar mais ou menos, mas ele é melhore e pasmem (COMPLETO) o jogo fecha bem fechadinho se vc escolher o final certo da historia, e pra piorar joguei SM antes do Heatwave (só tinha jogado a DEMO), pq senti os personagens lá + carismáticos e tive uma boa surpresa, ao contrario desse aqui. Se Heatwave tiver uma dlc ok, mas é melhor esperar uma promoção, que esse jogo capado não vale o preço cheio, já Summer Vacation super vale o preço! Recomendo: SUMMER VACATION
就是剧情太短了爸爸的剧情还没有说出来他爸爸因为什么原因和他妈妈离婚的。他爸爸在他小时候对他们母子做了什么也没有说。希望可以出dic
非常好冲,cg做的很棒。就是太短了。全cg解锁也就2h左右。结尾戛然而止,还有几个角色像是剧情没做完一样 cg感觉差了点内容,总体像是项目被腰斩了()。期待下一部。
Too short!! Can't wait for the next!
As a bara fan, and red-blooded gay male I freely admit I came for the sex, but I stayed for the story. Sure the guys are extremely sexy in all their crisply rendered glory. Yes the sex is intense. What surprised me though, and what made me play through each scene instead of just fast forwarding to more sex was the story. The linear play style made it easy to engage with the plot. No spoilers but bravo to Cody for ending on a cliffhanger. I cannot wait for the next episode
That's a spicy meatball. Way better than I expected. I want more.
Extremamente viciante. Preciso de uma continuação na minha mesa pra ontem!
真的很不错,快出第二季!
帶入感強的一批,最好的視覺小說,爽的不行
