Heat is an open world western survival game from Code}{atch. It’s the turn of the century on the American homestead. The game will give you the pioneer experience of struggle and triumph first-hand. Survive the wilderness, establish yourself, meet someone special, raise a family, and dominate. Gain power as President, deliver justice as Sheriff, fight for your tribe as Chief, or show some southern hospitality as Governor.
Start a family with other players or NPCs. You could have your own baby or adopt from an orphanage by purchasing a baby basket in the shipping catalog. Your children are a mix of the visual DNA of the two parents. Babies, children, and adults will need to feed and stay hydrated. If you fail to care for your children, the government will take them from you for mistreatment.
Beware of other players, as they can adopt your newborns, babies, and children as their own if you are not nearby. So, keep them secret, keep them safe. Once your kids become adults you can equip them with outfits, gear, and weapons. They can help protect you when you are online. However, other players may decide to capture and restrain your adult kin, so best keep them packing heat.
Get farm-ready with the hoe, watering can, sprinklers, and scythe. Each tool has its own set of tiers, and there are a variety of crops that may be planted. Fertilizers are also an important consideration for the aspiring farmer. Once your crops have matured, harvest them and bring them to the cooking stations in order to produce a wide range of food types. You may also decide to sell your crops in your shipping bin and buy more seed for your farming operation.
Gather and hunt for food to keep yourself strong. Collect a variety of raw materials from nature for use in crafting, building and refinement. Once you have the basics of sticks and stones down, you may begin your journey towards establishing yourself as an industrious and powerful colony or even President of the United States.
