Unity - Completed - Summer in Heat [v1.01] [Miconisomi]

V1.00
Pros:

• Four fully voiced heroines, two main and two sub characters, characters also have some relation to each other in the main story, rather than four independent characters crammed together.
• Improved UI and QoL features compared to past titles, easa of character customizing, export/import, free mode gallery, camera control presets, pov angles, body fluid customization, scene cycling loadouts etc.
• Chat/Thought bubble interaction during H scenes, their personality and dialogue will change depending on the 3 levels of lewdness/depravity they are currently at.

Cons:

• Not every character has access to every H positions, some are restricted behind their main story scenes, while you can customize the appearances that means you can't have the character voice you favor be in the exclusive scenes that aren't theirs.

A REALLY good game. The character creation is the best in a Miconisomi game yet, and so are the animations, and there are a lot of them in this game. I'll straight up say I enjoyed this game way more than Koikatsu, or anything Illusion has put out past Playhome. While the character creation is not as extensive, Miconisomi just smokes Illusion in terms of effort put into their games, especially the animation and story. If you can, buy this game from official stores to support them.

Game is great with how the main girls start to fall in love with sex and just being a simple nukige story. Some problems that I had with the game was the lack of customization in the game at the moment and not being able to move the characters around the scene in the free mode.

Otoha: I love how Otoha went from being a innocent girl to a total slut but I would've love a more wholesome story with Otoha. However this has it own taste of corruption which is pretty good.

Rino: Basic NTR plot of main girl resisting sex from the main character then giving into his big dick. Great if you like NTR with how she start begging for more dick at the end of her story.

Overall a 5/5 Nukige story.

There’s no player agency other than choosing between one of two main routes, so the game is basically a fully voiced and animated 3D visual novel with character customization. And I like it.

If you enjoyed Insult Order, this offers more of the same but with a focus on more vanilla fetishes—mostly mindbreak and hidden sex.

If you liked Koikatsu, this is a similar experience but without the grinding and open-world elements.

Now that you know what you’re getting into, the one thing that really feels lacking is the amount of character customization. Other than that, it’s great.

This game might not be perfect. But its a hell of a lot better than 90 percent of games on this website. Animation Wise. Graphics wise. Character wise. Functionalities wise.

I rest my case.
Please support the dev and other solo devs who make our lives a bit better.

A great game and return to form. For too long has the H game scene been plagued with complete rubbish with only Illusion or "ILLGames" making anything of worth. Though they have completely lost the plot.

In comes this dev. Great graphics, solid gameplay options and plenty of moves/poses and the ability to "caress". Customization is quite light at the moment but the dev has much more planned. Personally the only thing missing is more character customization/clothing (I hope you modders come over to fix this!) and some more hardcore BDSM stuff.

On a final note, not sure about the review bombing by a few on here. I suspect they are the usual suspects that play terrible games but think they're great.

This game is huge file-wise with no payoff. The character dialogue is boring and far too wordy, the characters don't make a ton of sense, and the prologue is miles long and the single most boring introduction to a game I have played.

The prologue information serves close to no gameplay purpose, and after close to twenty minutes of clicking through pointless and expository dialogue I got to a screen which was not explained in any capacity, and ended up have to choose between clicking on two girl icons.
I clicked on each of them and followed through to find only more boring dialogue, and pointless exposition.

I'm sure this game is fine for someone who enjoys walls of text, but I just want to jerk off, not read a convoluted story.

Unfortunately for me the great scenes are largely ruined by everything surrounding it being very lacking.

This is essentially just a short visual novel with interactive scenes in between reading sessions. There are no decisions that you need to make or branching routes. There's also not really any development to the relations with the characters and you start having sex with them almost immediately. I eventually stopped caring about the "plot" and just skipped to see the scenes.

If you just want to jerk off to some solid 3D interactive scenes this is great, if you wanted anything more than that it's a disappointment.

if it ain't broke don't fix it says miconisomi once again . Lot of years in the making and It's pretty much the same as previous games, which is not a bad thing considering those games were really really good.

So yeah, once again, a VN with character maker, good scenes, and overall really good presentation, It still is a exceptional game and probably one of the best games you can find in this site, but since we were waiting this one for so long, I was expecting this game having a little bit more of gameplay, customization, anything really.

I've seen countless people complain about this so i'll start the review off with a warning: Miconisomi's games are basically just VNs. If you hate Visual Novels don't play any of them. (Except for their first game)

Anyways this game is a big improvement over their last project, the character models, animations, and the customization are all amazing even the character's personalities are great but i have some complaints.

1. The game has no gangbang /3P scenes aside from one, Which is just... baffling. if you know Miconisomi 3P scenes are their bread and butter. their first game was literally centered around gang bangs. And their second game had a secondary protagonist named Tomoe who's entire route was centered around 3P scenes. So it's just odd not to have them especially since the cover of the game on DL site is a 3P scene with Rino and Otoha.

2. It's odd how the game was in development for over 6 years and Cocoa and Reiko don't have full or even longer routes. Very disappointing since they have great VA's. Hell there are even some scenes in free play that don't appear at all in the main story and could have been used in their routes.
They could have given Cocoa's route a whole bunch of 3P scenes since her whole thing is that she's very open that she'll bang anyone for money. And Reiko is supposed to be the protagonist bitchy pricky older sister. She could have had a route about the protagonist fucking her into submission. Just a shame both of their "Routes" are just a single scene. Really hope this game gets DLC to add more content because it does feel incomplete in that respect. Despite all of this i can't give the game anything lower than a 4/5. all of Miconisomi's games are high quality for such a small team and i'm glad they don't pump out slop with the same reused animations so they can slap a 60$ price tag on it Cough Illusion a really good game if you don't mind visual novels and don't care about Miconisomi not including their usual 3P content

Shambling through down through smut alley, I happen to find the latest release from a dev that had two successful goes at some truly debauched nukige smut. Gangbangs, pet play, cum play, you name it they beautifully rendered it through their vaunted, debauched 3d rendered scenarios.

And here, we have their latest release, roughly more than five years after their last one. And that very sentence, just to keep in mind before we get a little further along in this review, is where my main bias will lay. With covid, creator burnout, illness (if I remember right) alongside the myriad of things that befall development, everyone kept up with the cien hoping for a release with each and every year. As the years climbed of course, so did the release date, 2023 end of year, 2024 some time, now in 2025 do we finally get to play this beautifully fostered dream. (Alongside this, this was all played through a translator injector so keep that in mind as well as I try to explain googlese with what scraps of story popup.)

Is it worth it? Yes and no, though again this is from being a miconisomi fan ever since their first game and possibly not tempering my albeit horni expectations considering games like this truly do release once every 5+ years.

Anywho onto the review.

This is pretty much a visual novel in as much as it's a sandbox scene viewer. Not in the similar fashion of other sandbox JP hentai sims but more so in the guise of how the majority of scenes you source from the story between the 4 main characters can be shared amongst each other. Want to see that gangbang apply to a character that never even got there? Sure, want one to give you the BJ in the beginning of the game since the story didn't grant her one? Why not. Much of this game serves as just a structure to put your lewd suitors in a variety of scenarios that you can't change all that much save for their looks, actions that apply in the scene, alongside their h-level in said scene. This is pretty much blanketed across all of their games.

Alongside this the story...is a story. The main "campaign" of Summer is you playing on an overhead map that features all the points of interest that usually translate to little character bubbles you can click on to further their VN route. Which is strange considering that if you lock in on one, the other often greys out, where going back to the beginning you can instead start their journey with the other being completed. Maybe there's a means or mechanic to balance both routes out but again through my googlese I wasn't able to find such a means.

In that you play as a janitor that pretty much feels content in as much as being bored with his current role. You find some gals however just as bored as you are at the academy you work at, various familial relations with a handful of them (maybe, translator again) working summer roles, and you all quickly find lewd solutions on figuring out how to make summer pass by in the best ways possible. That's pretty much the plot, talk to girls, get horni, find yourself in truly debauched scenarios and eventually accept your new perverted relationship at the end of the questline as the H-level maxes out. Go back to main menu, find chapter select if you have a favorite scene stuck in the story alone, or go to the sandbox scene viewer if you want to watch every different position imaginable.

And that's where I'm kinda put off by this title, especially after all this time waiting and referencing their last two releases. In both those games there was a means of a main story that tried to justify these hornyass scenes in as much as there was mechanics too where things were more intimate in introducing a touching sim and/or other more involved "hub" areas in which you push the envelope with previous characters in upping relationship/h-points while still including lewd mechanics in all of that. Miconisomi always felt as though it was a lewd train from the very start all the way to very end blasting your brain with goonery as every new mechanic had you doing something uniquely naughty to further the story, or trying to get to the next level in said mechanic. Here, it doesn't feel like that.

It feels really just like a scene viewer that eventually had a VN story slapped against it. No gangbangs, or at least a very limited amount of them, no intimate means of groping LI's privately somewhere as you try and further your debauched situationship with them (save for the sandbox), no LI's uniquely interacting with each other (as far as I can find)--just a full on 3DVN with a sandbox scene viewer. It's...kinda disappointing, especially since so many cien posts almost teased it to be a collection of their previous two games' achievements resulting in an even bigger experience.

And how debauched both games eventually got. It feels like there are means of seeing where they maybe cut corners, such as the sandbox showing that you can grope the LI's akin to their previous titles that don't seem to appear in the story (or maybe, translator does break certain actions). But at least with the main story beats, unless there's some new game+ mode beyond completeing the 4 routes, it seems as though they truly put everyone in a linear VN quest bubble and missed a lot of opportunities in this becoming a foursome situation or even involving mechanics around that.

That's why I can't completely give it a five, nor can I really give it a three. It's a rare gem that actually tries to go beyond the normal means of what a lot of lewd games usually are, as this actually has budget and effort put into it. It feels like a proper double-A lewd game with a competent engine, beautifully made models (subject to a competent customization system), alongside great lewd scenarios. But it lacks those more engaging mechanics that their previous games fostered in making it more than just a VN with really good interactive scenes.

Overall 4/5, maybe, hopefully some more meat might be placed on these bones but after five years of waiting for this, I find that the game suffers from being compared to it's previous titles. If this was their first game, fantastic, but it being the third after so much time has past just makes me yearn to go back and play what made them great.

I found myself quite disappointed, as I had hoped for more interactivity and meaningful choices storywise. Instead, the experience feels like passively watching a series of 3D animations.

However it does have decent graphics and impressive customization options.
It's a solid game, but nothing special.

Finally a well made game after like a month of searching! The graphics are insane and even with the customization this game is visually stunning. The amount of settings you can customize in the H Scenes are such a great touch. The amount of voice acting is very generous and sound good too, I didn't really find a flaw in this game, I enjoyed it very well. 10/10. Solid Game.

I'm not here for the story, I am here for the H scenes. They are fantastic, A+ customization options for the models and plenty of scenes to enjoy. This has become the go-to for me for H-games for the foreseeable future.

This is most likely one of the top Japanese porn games of the year.

The story was passable, would've liked it more if the protagonist wasn't such a creep, but free mode was amazing, there we have 3 diferent corruption states for each girl, even the minor characters.

Voice acting and sex animations are amazing. using POV camera on cowgirl and missionary plus the moans made me crazy horny.

I don't like customizing characters too much, so I didn't care too much about the lack of clothes, they should have added more, custom maid 3d 2 had so many I got confused.

will fap to it at least ten more times.

Way better than koikatsu, if given enough time and love it will surly become a masterpiece, it has great penetration animation and it Feels more real than koikatsu and the character you make look great, once modders start Caring about this game it will be the best thing ever

lots of animations, great voice acting, character customization... i love miconisomi. this game is a bit more vanilla than previous entries though; hopefully the devs add moree content in the future. i hope that this game catches interest from modders; i would love to see more character customization options.

Once again, Miconisomi deliver a fantastic game here. They know exactly what they are doing, and this game follows the same pattern of their two previous games (After Gangbang Service Addict and Insult Order).

If you enjoyed their last two games, there's no need to keep reading, and you should go play the game asap.
For those who never played a Miconisomi game, there's a few things to keep in mind:

1/ This is not an Illusion game. Do not expect a sandbox style game like AA or KK.
2/ Those games emphasizes on immersion rather than gameplay. If you want to press buttons, you won't find it here.

Miconisomi games are basically short Visual Novel, but crancked up to 11 with (imo) the best 3D Anime-Style DA out there, with the possibility to fully control the scenes you selected.

You'll have to go through a small VN first to unlock all the options availables for you (Rina Story is my favourite). Once you've seen all the stories and side stories, you'll unlock the true potential of this game: Free Mode.

The Free Mode isn't just a recollection, it is the bulk of the game. It allows you to use all positions for all characters, and, most importantly, allows you to choose their degree of depravity, which will change how they act during the sex scenes.

This is very important, because what Miconisomi does best isn't graphics. Where the game shines the most is actually Sound Design.

Like their previous games, it is recommended to use a headset to enjoy the full experience.
The VA are phenomals, and could be sold as an ASMR game on the side. The acting, the voice play, the pants, the sfx, every sounds is carefully crafted to test your limits.

Also, while their Character Creator isn't super solid (mods pls), it is enough to import your favourite fantasies in the game. I personnaly created a couple of Taimanin Girls, and this work very, very well (especially Yukikaze with Rina's personnality)...

Objectively, the game should be a 4 or a 4.5. But the amount of work put into the animation (especially the cowgirl and blowjob ones) and the VA aswell as Sound direction is so stellar, my biaised ass can't give it any less than a 5/5.

It was and still is a fantastic experience for me, and I can't wait to see either future updates, or their next game.


TLDR: If you want to fap, the game will drain you. If you want gameplay (like Rance Series for exemple), this is not what is advertised here.

Amazing visuals, great customization, it has a great sound design but still, it lacks a lot of player agency, this may be considered a kinetic 3D novel, is mostly an scene viewer, just go from one scene to the other, dialogues options doesn't matter, scenes are mostly the same through different playthroughs.

Is quite dissapointed, for some reason I expected some interactivity and player agency, instead every single tag you see (It contains NTR, the tag is not apply at the moment) is unavoidable, just sit down and watch a 3D hentai animation.
