VN - Ren'Py - Summer Heat [v0.5.1] [Naughty Fox Games]

Not much content yet. Animations are mediocre. But girls are pretty hot and damn, those are top notch renders so far. You can see how much efforts the developer puts into the game. Really waiting for new content!

Beautiful game, beautiful renders, promising story. I am however extremely worried about the pacing and development. Game has been in development for almost two years I think and we are barely out of the first in game day. Good luck to the devs

Story: 4/5
Render: 5/5
Gameplay:4/5
Girls: 5/5
Potential: 10/5

it's been so long since I played a Good AVN, A simple story driven AVN.
the sandbox was good, the render was top-notch!! the girls i really cannot resist lmao.
I wish the developer all the best for this game, this game has so much potential it may become top AVN games.
I consider this a slow burn but it is that good just hit all the notes.
I play a lot of AVN (Believe me lmao)
and I suggest you should try this one,
the game still short, its new but oh my I am craving for more.

Congrats for the game and I cannot wait for the updates!

One of my fave's already. gorgeous renders, fun to play, a little light on the kinks, pretty vanilla but 5 star for sure. intrigued.
only my second review ever after NCC haha and this is one to watch out for,

Amazing renders, and simple and fresh gameplay. Not a revolutionnary game but girls are stunning, especially Mia and Jenni, and the story is pretty interesting with humor and romance. A very good work, keep going !

I am amazed how all the small things just drip with attention to detail and quality.
This has so much potential to be one of the best avn/games around.
Writing quality is top notch, characters are interesting with high quality renders.
Sophisticated use of emotion in body language and facial expression.
I was disappointed when I ran out of content, definitely looking forward to future releases.

Let's pop that 200th cherry

Pros:

1. Beautiful renders, like woahh!!
2. Writing is decent.
3. Plot seems generic but nicely established so far.
4. Music is good and animations are pretty good.
5. Characters are beautiful
6. Clean UI, Gallery, and Phone app.

Cons:

1. The plot is barely moving forward. adding more spice or drama would be cool.
2. Everyone is just simping after MC along with the overused tropes that make LIs look one-dimensional but I understand that some people enjoy it so to each their own.

Verdict: I would wait till the next update if you are playing for the plot and want more drama. It would be 5 stars with good direction and pacing but its overrated currently.

Absolutely blown away by the attention to detail in every scene! The environments feel so real, unlike the typical empty rooms you find in other games. Kudos to the developers for bringing this game to life in such a visually stunning way.

My only tiny quibble revolves around the pacing. It seems like the horniness levels of the characters have skyrocketed, with everyone wanting to be with the MC on day one. It's a bit overwhelming, and I think spreading out these events across the first week or having a mini time skip between this and the next update could enhance immersion and make character interactions feel more natural.

And hey, can we show some love to Ms. Hill? She's the one character who showed some restraint in the last update, and she's the main love interest I'm eager to see more of. Looking forward to what the devs have in store for her in the next update! Keep up the fantastic work!

I don't even know where to start except to say you need to play this.

Yes, its downside is it is very vanilla in terms of the sexual content, but...

Everything about this is polish. The renders just blew me away and the clothing - the clothing - is done so well. The girls are beautiful.

The humor lands, the characters are interesting and the build up is real. I look forward to see where this ends because even the story is good.

Definitely in my top 3, if not at the top.

I'm very impressed with the game so far. Really top tier.

Story is pretty simple, but that's not a bad thing, it serve the purpose and I think the focus here is in building relationships.

Girls are very hot, have great bodies and models. And they are actually interesting to talk to and getting to know them. Could easily fall in love with any of them, but so far my fav are Eve, Mia and Sophie.

Dialogue is great, feel very natural (for a porn game ofc), easily one of the best I've seen on this site. Usually in these games, there is quite a few cringe moments and dialogue, but here I saw none so far. Also, got a few nice laughs (there is a bit of humor in there).

Lewds are hot, nice buildup and progress. I hope we get to bang that cop in the future.

UI is nice and clean. There is a replay gallery.

Dev, you have my support.

This game deserves tons of praise, so far its just about perfect - it has atmosphere, it has a great setup, the characters are legitimately exciting. I think in some cases it jumps the gun a little, but other than that there's not much to say, it's very close to perfect.

Would highly recommend, as of 0.5.1 some of my favorite writing in one of these games I have witnessed so far. I am sad I am not in a situation where I can support the author, this level of quality should be encouraged.

Extremely high quality, exceptional UI, great models, good scenes, scenarios and characters.

Definitely entering my list of my favorites of all time.

the renders are really good, the girls feel real, the story is great and funny, your choices do matter and I even spent a good time playing the fake phone game.
To me it's one of the best VN out there !!!

One of the ultra rare games with good CGs and pretty characters and actual good writing!
The game managed to get me from
"Oh these DAZ characters look pretty unique and nice, nobody really catches my eye though"
to "Holy shit that stupid monkey is the hottest girl I've ever seen" in a matter of 2 hours by how well she is written. Really good showcase on why these games are so much better than porn.


The girls have distinct characters and seem alive, the PC is socially adept, the jokes are funny, the flirting feels natural. Only the "best friend" seems really unlikeable, flat and underdeveloped compared to some legendary bros from other games, but maybe he will shine more in future updates.
We are given plenty of choices what to say and how to react and there is some deeper plot lurking under the surface that seems intriguing and promises to keep things interesting. There are some rare moments where you can bond over realistic tragic backstories or insecurities that are really well written. The timing, CGs and facial expressions actually make you feel like you are building a connection.


Huge potential, one of the best DAZ/Renpy games ever created. Biggest downside is that its not finished yet so now I have to wait.

v0.5.1

One of the few games on this site where all the characters of note are actually attractive, the scenes hot, and the plot is interesting.

Don't mistake it for seeming too vanilla at first glance. Everything in the game game so far is good quality.
As of the current version it seems to have about 3-4 hours of content. Not very long, but the content makes up for it.

Chapters are pretty short. but damn this might be a very very good and hot AVN. my current top 5 probably. hope to see the workaround against the LIs. looks like the dev know what he is doing. really love how the progression is going. hope to see more slow burns.

This is hands-down one of the best AVNs I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The dev is not only good at writing the characters, but also extremely skilled in scene composition and sensual delivery, resulting in visuals and texts in perfect sync with one another. This establishes an atmosphere that is densely packed with emotion and eroticism, making the player unconsciously step into the story and thus FEEL like the mc. Completing the chapter 5 update feels much less like the usual slightly absurd adult entertainment formula, and more like a remarkably relaxing erotic therapy session. This is without a doubt a VERY rare achievement. The impeccable delivery of harmonious coexistence among visuals, tonal language, dialogue rhythm, story-progression and lewd scenes together sets a high bar for all present and future AVNs.

Version: [v0.5.1]

In 'Summer Heat' we get to experience summer camp, woo-hoo!
the game starts as the MC, his friend and the friend's sister are leaving for summer camp, they meet a couple of cute girls and are about to spend a few weeks with them.
Well, there are some background stories about some weird father figure and whatever he seems to be involved with, but under all that 'Summer Heat' is a love letter to summer camps, to late adolescence, to clumsy flirtations and love-struck puppy eyes. and it does it with so much charm.

The renders are pretty, the models are beautiful and high quality, the scenes are really sexy and well done, absolutely wonderful so far.
When it comes to writing, well, it's really really great, the conversations makes sense and feels natural (which is unfortunately very rare in the genre) and therefor the large amount of text does not hinder the experience at all, but more on the writing later.
The sandbox sections are nice, quick and concise which I really appreciate. the choices are simple and the outcome of them is clear, I do worry about things branching out so early as it pretty much guarantees you'll have to wait a long long while for your branch of choice, still, it's a reasonable decision that makes sure the player knows this isn't a harem VN.

I do want to make it clear, thinking and reviewing specific aspects of this VN doesn't do it justice (even though all of them are great!), 'Summer Heat' is an experience, and the whole is greater than the sum of all parts.
The relationships built over the first few days makes sense, they feel real, natural, they have weight.
As previously stated, the interactions between the characters just feels so believable, some things the characters say are clumsy and cringe, but not in a weird, badly written way, in a 'huh, that's actually how teens are sometimes' and oh it is so so charming. the sexual tension is off the charts, not just the scenes themselves are sexy, but everything in between, the (sometimes no so subtle) flirations, the long gazes, it's all done so well and it works amazingly.
The characters fall in love and explore and make mistakes and learn and fuck. It sucked me in. it made me nostalgic for my summers as a teen, for young love and fumbling through life with a smile and no idea what's what. Honestly, I'm not sure I can give a bigger compliment than that.

amazing work.

(v0.5.1)

An excellent game overall.

The primary love interests are all attractive in both looks and personality. The free-roaming sections are short and easy to navigate. There are no minigames. Your choices are respected by the game. Renders are beautiful. Animations are very smooth and look natural. Facial expressions are well done, meaning we get a lot of sly smiles and subtle expressions. There is a replay gallery for scenes and images you have unlocked.

The only negative so far is that the main plot is off to a bit of clunky start with the main character just sort of going along with what he's told to do without any real motivation to do so. But its a very minor flaw that is hopefully only there to get the ball rolling.

A lot of care has gone into the game, as can be seen by the extra effort that goes into small details that many developers wouldn't bother with. For example, there was a scene where you talk to two girls by the pool and an inflatable swan slowly floats by in the background, which adds a bit more life into the scene.

Easily one of the best adult games in development right now.

This game is top notch. Potential to be up there in the AVN pantheon.

There is a lot to like here. The themes are very much oriented towards early adulthood. Summer Heat is in the vein of the traditional AVN Bildungsroman: a young man on the cusp of adulthood embarks on a journey of romantic relationships and erotic discoveries, post-high school and pre college in this case. The setting will be familiar to most: American adjacent, with the usual codes and tropes. It's not especially original but it's very much enjoyable.

In fact, what I enjoyed most about it so far has been the pacing, and its good nature overall. Yes, it's exaggerated as with most other AVN, and the MC gets plenty of action/intimacy building for a measly 24 hours in game. But it all feels rather naturalistic (within the suspension of disbelief), with characters that feel distinct, attractive, relatable or compelling in their own ways, with a good mix of humour, lewdness, enthusiasm and pathos.

As for the story itself it's a little too early to tell. This latest instalment felt like end of the beginning of the game, there seems to be a lot of scope for this story to grow.

If a critique has to be made, the writing could be a little better in the choice of words in dialogues. It does not impinge on the experience, but it could feel more realistic yet, as well as rooted, if the choice of words was a tad more considered.

At any rate, Summer Heat is a remarkable entry. I've tried a fair share of games in a similar genre, and this one quietly stands out. Not the most high profile game on the site by some distance, but it deserves support from those that can for sure. Can't wait to see where it goes.
