About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Winter Heat is a narrative game about love in the internet age.

https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3429850/extras/7000b1fc4101b52fe4b4c0aecd1571af.avif?t=1789745814

Javiera Vera lives in the sweltering urban summer of Santiago, Chile.

Fukkoshi Shio lives in the snowy seaside town of Miyazu, Kyoto, in Japan.

The two are long-time internet friends, living across the world, across time zones, but with a bond as strong as the fiber optic cables connecting them. How will that bond transform, though, during one special December?

Follow Javi and Shio through their online lives as they grow even closer together.

  • A fluffy, fun romance story across continents.
  • A linear main storyline taking place through online chats, video calls, browser MMOs, and social media accounts.
  • Minigames and narrative storytelling in the form of "apps" on your device--Maps, Gallery, Cawmix, Noteswap, Test Your English, and more.
  • Bonus sub-game included: Oomfie RPG, a dungeon crawling deckbuilder adventure! A complete standalone experience.
  • And more content to each mode coming in future updates

Welcome to Oomfie RPG!

Each copy of Winter Heat comes with a ROM of one of Javi and Shio’s favorite nostalgic games: Oomfie World IV: The 1994 Saga of Turbo.

After her best friend Dot is sucked into the hot new game console, Oomfie must traverse the digital world of Turbo and collect pieces of the Virtual Cuboid Console to send them both back. Journey through mysterious randomized Adventure Zones and collect RPG skills to power Oomfie up and help her save her best friend!

(Yeah, we made a mini-deckbuilder roguelike RPG as a sub-game within a romantic Yuri visual novel, why do you ask?)
