Winter Heat

A story of hope about fighting through everything for love. Amazing story with so many twists and turns, really loved the unique art style and it's just an all around feel good experience. Pricing is a little bit steep because the main story is only around 2 hours long but it is a very dense 2 hour experience that has no padding and really shines the further you go along. 100% Worth the purchase if it's on sale, also looks as if the devs are going to add more content in the future so that's cool!

[h1]TIME SKIP - THE GAME[/h1] Winter Heat is a yuri slice-of-life Visual Novel and the second game by Yuri Kissaten. Having played their first title, I can definitely see some progress - they’re clearly trying to learn from their past mistakes. Unfortunately, they still struggle with the most important element of the Visual Novel genre: the story. [b]It’s not terrible, and it can be cute at times, but I doubt I’ll remember much of it after a couple of days.[/b] This review might sound a bit harsh, but I genuinely want Yuri Kissaten to succeed. That’s why I’m pointing out these issues - so they can improve in future releases. [b]I can’t recommend Winter Heat as it is[/b], but their future games? We’ll see. [b]Story[/b] The story is fairly simple. Two online friends - Javi from Chile and Shio from Japan - chat about their daily lives. They’re both lesbians and comfortable enough with each other to flirt for fun (not-so-subtle foreshadowing). [spoiler]After years of online friendship, they finally meet in real life when Javi makes a surprise visit. And then... they kiss? It feels way too sudden. The transition from best friends to girlfriends happens at lightning speed. From that p…

Linear wlw lovers that are just friends (until they aren't) extravaganza ! A little clumsy at times, but still holds up. it's so sweet. I love them. I think you are allowed to make poor life decisions for love. It's the opposite type of visual novel than airship, but both have their place. "Stop it Javi; You are so weird." "In a good way?" "Yeah."

This is a very charming visual novel game you can get invested in, with an easy replay and save feature no details can be missed. The additional minigames and facts about Japanese culture were fun to play through and read. It's a really cute game with beautiful backgrounds, a compelling story and well made music. I am looking forward to future updates 9.5/10

Enjoyed playing the demo but the full version is a bit lower than my expectation. The best part of the story was at the beginning when they were testing each other. It has been a little tiring watching them struggling for living together. Anyway it's a sweet story. BTW What will happen if I clear the built-in RPG game? I died while fighting against the chili pepper.

[h1]Winter Heat[/h1] Winter Heat is a visual novel told with text messages, and traditional VN scenes. This VN is a kinetic visual novel meaning you do not have dialogue choices or different endings. You follow the long distance relationship of Javi, from Chile, and Shio from Japan. I would give this game a neutral review if I could but since I can’t I will give it a negative review. [b]Side note:[/b]I thought this game at most cost 4.99 I didn’t realize it was 20 USD!! [b]Pros:[/b] [list] [*]Realistic text messages and dialogue between online friends and portraying the online ecosystem [*]Extensive side content [*]Scene Selection [*]Cute art [/list] [b]Cons:[/b] [list] [*]Confusing romantic relationship [*]Characters act unrealistic [*]Time skips [*]Too expensive [/list] The friendship between two long distance internet friends seemed relatable and realistic as it was portrayed in this visual novel. I like how Shio’s English still sounded a little off. The messaging dialogue was natural and I really love when visual novels include text messages/simulate what it is like being online. The art was simplified chibi style and very cute. I also liked as you…
