In Heat
Lewds are IN! IN HEAT Build release!
Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well! We will be starting 2024 with a bang here, the much-requested lewd features of our game are finally integrated!
QUICK GAMEPLAY GUIDE
While we are a bit too early for a tutorial right now. I would like to go through a crash course to get you all into the game.
Lower Sanity by clicking on the Plush Toy. Make sure to check your left hallway for a door to Misty’s room. Make sure it’s closed 24/7
Right and left buttons control the doors, Keep them open unless there is a scary monster in your window, In which case close the adjacent door until they are gone.
There are 3 minigames. One is located in the big circle stage area where you must help the cleaning robot up.
The second would be a smoking valve in the goo room located to the right of your office. Simply turn it in the right direction and it should be fixed.
The third game is located in the topmost room and looks like a weird circuit breaker. Click the buttons in the correct order, and pull the switch! Need to know the color code? Well, it’s randomized every single time, however, maybe you were smart and wrote the correct code on a sticky note or something?
Next! While most of the girls have their own behaviors and mechanics, Niles might be confusing from the get -go, but do not worry as I’ll tell you the secrets behind our lovely beauty queen!
Simply put, the very first thing you should do is check out the camera system and be careful. Once you have found Nile, do not change cameras until the little heart fills!
Thank you all again for your support, and let’s get on with the changes!

A bit underpowered. I don't think its possible to run most games on this pc!
A bit unfortunate, but I don't want to leave you with a dead purchase, if you send your receipt to monsterbox.ent@gmail.com we can get a refund going for you!
How do I beat Ari BM?
Use the plushie to keep your sanity high. I don't know what the exact threshold is though. As far as I can tell the other girls won't enter the room while she has your door open, so just keep the sanity high and wait for her to leave.
Look at her via the camera system
there appears to be some sort of event happening on night-end that triggers a soft lock. Game pauses, can't do anything but do alt-f4, but the game doesn't completely stop responding.
I've had this issue as well. It's annoying, certainly, but on relaunch I don't think I've lost progress because of it. I seem to always keep unlocked gallery entries and nights.
Already beat night 12 holy crap that was handful I almost didn't beat it cuz of my heat. The intensity of game is crazy good MonsterBox Games and looking forward to more updates.
I don't understand Sammy or how her "prevent everything" ability works.
I see her on the camera one moment in a far away room one moment, then when I turn off the camera she is suddenly in my room blocking everything. Even with both doors closed. How am I supposed to stop that?
i dont think you can stop it. i found going in a clock wise or counter clock wise motion gets rid of her faster
After a bit of testing, you are indeed correct. From what amounts to about 20ish seconds of doing nothing turns into about 5 when you press buttons in a panic. Good News Everyone! Panicking is the correct play if Sammy decides you don't get to play the game.
spam wasd
Happy to see the lewds back. I love how Poppi kisses you before riding you now.
One small complaint. Restarting the power on level 3 seems to be impossible? I should just have to click the colored buttons in the order highlighted but that doesn't seem to work?
there is a code on a sticky note hidden around i think its random
i just figured out its the color of the notes on the office wall Infront of you and it changes every night
I think that if you hover over the icons in the home screen it should tell you what is is if its unlocked and if not unlocked a hint on how to unlock it. it would make the gallery easier to unlock as for myself i had to look at the comments here to see you needed to click on the tapes on the cameras.
how do you unlock the arcade mode at the home screen? and is there any other tapes other than the first one on the second screen after you click play? I have enjoyed this build so far and its a good amount of chaos, made it to night 11 so far.
To people facing Nile and a broken camera, the repair button seems to bring them back after holding it down. it's also useful for getting other repairs while Sammy is blocking the cameras.
In other news, I will say the new animations are nice but I do hope for a remaster of the older animations (really miss Misty's old one).
the repair button only exists on assist mode for what i know
EDIT: The "Repair" button, R, fixes a broken camera screen. It's a lengthy process, but it works. This comment has been altered to indicate that.
After spending the afternoon fooling around with the new build, filling the gallery, and making it to night 12 (which I haven't beaten yet, unfortunately), here's my thoughts and hopes for future builds.
I still think Nile's mechanic could use a bit of tweaking, but now that I (a big dummy) know how to deal with her, it's a lot more manageable. Maybe reducing the time it takes to repair a camera or fill Nile's heart (specifically on later nights, where there's a lot to manage) would make her feel a bit better. Of course, later nights (especially 12) are super chaotic, and there's basically always something going on. Maybe it's just bad RNG (and maybe I'm just bad at the game) but there are a lot of times where the girls will just continuously overlap, more or less making it impossible to do anything.
All that being said, I still really like the new version. The game looks pretty good, and plays great to boot. The lewd game-overs are great. I hope somewhere down the line all the girls will get some more game-over screens.
Leading into things I'd love to see in the near or distant future:
The nightclub map! Or at least a similar map. Personally, I found the mixed-up gameplay of the nightclub very fun and I'd really like to get more of that.
Obviously, more lewd stuff. I'd really like to see the girls have some kind of interactions during the nights, whether it be some kind of catfight or joining forces to tease us. I don't know how feasible that is for the gameplay, but I think it would be neat. Interactable sex scenes would be great too. And finally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more futa-on-girl scenes. The ones in the game are all really nice, and I can't wait to see the girls going at each other.
All in all, this has been a really good update in general, and I'm super hyped for more. Thanks for all the hard work!
Honestly, this. I thought I was just bad at that game for constantly screwing up Nile's mechanic, but it's good to know that it's more game balance then me. And I think the game doesn't do a very good job at explaining how some characters work. The only two we got an explanation for are arguably the two least confusing characters. The game doesn't explain how Ari works, or how to combat the girl that appears in the cameras and just kinda stares at you, (Idk her name). The game is great but it can be frustrating with the lack of explanation for more technical characters.
Holding the repair button"R" on a broken screen does in fact fix it.
so if I buy this, I won't have to buy it again right if it gets another remake or anything
Correct. If there is a new update, just go to "My Library" and click on the game and it'll take you to the most recent one.
Correct. I bought it around a year ago now before this build had been released, when it was essentially a different game, and I still have full access to download it even though it's gone through one or two 'remakes' since then. Afaik the only way you'd have to buy it again is if they decided to abandon this one to make a whole new listing on itch for whatever reason.
so questions I hope people can answer
1. when Misty is prying open the door do you spam space or hold it?
2. how many nights are there? I'm on 7 and its getting to be a real struggle lol.
3. do you unlock the Gallery from beating all nights?
1. -
2. 12
3. You need search red tapes/book on the cameras for unlock gallery
I think Nile is my least favorite mechanic. Something needs to change about it, I had 3 cameras go out in less than 5 seconds because she swapped to each one last second. That 3 at once was a unique case, but I can't count how many times I went to a camera and Nile wasn't there, I switch off it, then go back, and the camera was out. With how much you have to keep track of in later nights, her mechanic ends up feeling like bs.
Some possibilities I can think of off the top of my head for adjusting her mechanic with out completely changing it. Not saying these all need to be done.
-Give Nile a cool down when shutting a camera off.
-Make it so she doesn't instantly go to another room when she shuts a camera off.
-Giving downed cameras a reboot timer. (Just thought, you could make rebooting a minigame in of itself.)
-Limit the number of downed cameras.
That's my two cents, fun game overall, got through all 12 nights. Keep up the good work!
There is an adjustment in the settings where you can hold r to repair the broken camera. Wish that was more obvious, since I did all 12 nights without it.
No kidding, I didn't even notice that. Good to know for when I go tape hunting.
So, who all is in the update? All the girls or?
As far as I've gotten; Sammy, Poppy, Nile, Misty, Ari, and Maddie.
Maddie? She must be on a night higher than 4 I guess? I've been stuck all day trying to pass it
Finally, lewds of my favorite girl Sammy!
Enjoying the update and I really like the taunt that Sammy does, I wish there was a special scene/jumpscare if you stare at Sammy in her taunt form without moving for like ten seconds because at that point its pretty obvious that you are not trying to get her to go away.
I must say, I'm loving the update. Everything looks really nice and the game play flows together nicely. I do have one question though, Is there any way to get your camera(s) back if they go offline or are you just screwed?
you're just screwed
Hold down R to repair them. the little circle in the top right will fill up.
Interacting with the bomb thing does nothing. What do I do?
Click and hold until the circle is complete.
Having issues playing the recent update. Im not seeing any gallery or I seen some comments saying they can go to 12 days? I bought the game but am unable to do these? Would love some help if when it is possible. Thx
You need to collect the tapes you see lying around and survive the night to add to the gallery.
Lol Where would these tapes be I've looked all over and cannot seem to find them?
I believe they are randomly placed, changing location each time you play. You will see them highlight when you scroll over them with the cursor. I know I saw one on a shelf close to the camera in one run. Pretty sure I saw one on the floor of one room. Sorry I don't have a more specific answer.
New game-over lewds are just *chef's kiss*, exactly what I was hoping to see during the super early builds.
Great job improving everything! you guys have a gem on your hands.
