You play as an otter among big species, so expect SIZE DIFFERENCE, romance, drama, slice of life and a lot of NSFW!

Simply incredible from beginning to end. Mar might be my favorite protagonist in any VN so far, he's so cute and relatable!!
Lots of CGs and great world building, the sound design is so immersive and relaxing! A breath of fresh air in a saturated market of furry VNs and that's saying something!
Can't say much without spoilers but it definitely is worth checking out, you won't regret it! It melted my heart, made me laugh and cry! So many emotions...
AWWWW this is such a golden review! Thanks for taking some time to let us know your sweet words broooooooo 🥰 💖 🔥 🔥 🔥
Love this vn so much ❤️ and alss love Ari work!!
Uwufff!! 🥰 Cheers for more to come 🥂💖🔥😈💦
SPOILER!!!
Since this update is the ending of the main story, I want to give my honest review on it. The first part of it really got my heart pumping(I feel like my blood pressure shoot up). I commend the writing and the flow of story.
But the ending does not give me the feeling of conclusiveness. It feels like a cliff hanger to me. The problems of the characters were not addressed after the confrontation which is what I was waiting for for the ending (I honestly thought they died and went to paradise lol).
This is only a constructive criticism and I hope you won't take this in a bad way. I love the story and the characters (except Don Hernan) though i still haven't forgiven the mc. That's enough of me yapping.
Thank you so much for the story you made and I hope I can read more from you!
xoxo
Que gran finaaaaaaal!! Me encantooooooo!!!! Ari porfa sigue así!!,fue una hermosa novela próximamente te estaré apoyando en patreon,no estoy llorando se me metió algo a los ojos 😭,ojalá en un futuro alguna actualización mostrando que paso después 🥺
AWWWW 🥹🥰🥰🥰 FELICES FIESTAS!
Meow,
I can say I will feel "saudades". I wanted to end with the panda guy. =^.~= or with all they three together.
Still felt tense reading it.
But seen those big bear balls every time starting the story reminds me of some bears guys I fell in love years ago, more ones that visited my dreams
Have a good Happy New Y-mas.
Mewing,
Pandrine
P.S.: Added a Mexican bull that I miss sometimes.
That's sweet!!! 🥰💖🥂💦💦

ME ENCANTO, rece tentó para que los tres terminaran juntos. aaaaaa hora ya pregunte esto y mencionaste que al finalizar la novela después lo traducirías al español, me pregunto si trabajaras en las historias secundarias o en la traducción.
saludos y abrazos de OSO.
Edita esto, ponle SPOILER, y deja unos 20 espacios hermano 😅
Also, si, creo que pronto debería trabajar en la traducción 😅
Spoiler!!!
This was amazing, I had a slight suspicion that things would work out this way, but it was still amazing, I'm happy for them... Can I start begging for the sequel?
Yei UWU
Actually a sequel is cooking but there are many planned stories ready to be worked on that I would like to show you guys first 😅
A sequel probably would take a couple years, maybe😅🤭🥰
SPOILER
ARI, DID THEY DIE????
Lol no , sorry it might be too dramatic 😅
Phew😪
Guess I'll have wait until tomorrow to read this when I'm hopefully alone at home.
I wanna know your opinion!!! 👁️👄👁️🤭
You gotta wait like I have to. Cause I have a very strong feeling that NSFW moments are gonna be in here and I can't risk my parents seeing me wrestling the meat.
PFHAHAHAHAHA OKAY OKAY 😅🥰
Just read it today.
Well beautiful ending. No beating of meats in that way, but OK.
It was shorter than I was expecting.
Beautiful ending? Aww 🥰 💖 🔥

Got bored waiting for short horns vn so i downloaded this one and it was awesome please use Damián character more hehe he's so cute tho
Update update update!!!!!!
Ari did get you sick?your are not answering as usual.
Sorry! Sometimes thisstupid thing doesn't notify me and have been super busy sorry haha also NEW UPDATE!!
-SPOILER-
Hi Ari ! I just finished the latest update on Patreon, and I have to say that even though I really enjoyed the story. And that the whole "paradise" scene was really sublime. There are still negative points (for me) to this ending.
For example...
-Did the story really needed a "boss fight" to be concluded?
-Mar personal story arc with his family who ultimately doesn't lead to anything and that in addition the fact that he lied to Angel about calling his parents is never mentioned again and it has no consequences.
-Currently the choice system is useless since if I select all the wrong answers, the game forces me to redo the previous choices and that's it. It would be cool to have several endings. For example a bad ending where Mar definitively loses Angel's love and trust because we made the wrong decisions. Another where they manage to reconcile. And a last one with Damian included in their relationship with a new question, when they are in the bedrooms, whe can have the choice between telling him that we must definitively end our "relationship" or telling him that we also have feelings for him.
-Why is there a time skip that ends on the ending image with Mar Angel and Damian? I mean so much must have been happened for all 3 of them to end up together so why end like that? Yes there will be bonus chapters, but there could have at least been an additional chapter "aftermath" before the ending screen to tell everything that happened after the confrontation. Because even if I know that you put a lot of effort into this chapter, there is always this feeling that there is something missing for the story to really be concluded..
Even if personally I am a little disappointed with the end. I want to repeat that I really liked your story and I congratulate you for having managed to finish Heat source ^^
We have update now!!! Sorry been super busy lately 😅
I really like xiao, looking forward to many slots about him. It’s hard not to seriously suspect that he is in the closet. Really grateful for Guardian's game, excited for the next part of the story and more new games.
Update update update!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I just finished the game and I really liked it lol, but I honestly expected more choices to be honest, many directions could change if they had to choose like Damian's case, but it's okay for now I'm honestly curious how this will unfold, if there will be an outcome as it progresses because of this episode 28, which one should I choose? And if I can simply run away and stay with none, after all a lot of the mess was made by me haha
Ahhh 😅 I think it's a little bit too early to post this here bro 👉👈
Don't you wanna talk about this in the discord server, patrons' channel? 😅😅😅😅😅
Oh yea sorry, i just thought more comments on the itch page then more comments for people to see and realize how good the game is. My bad
Im not being rude or anything and i loved reading this
But HOLY SHIT. During when Angel and MC have sex for the first time its honestly hilarious how you hear the sounds of a lovely lyre in the background while you have angel saying "You make a great sleeve"
Its just so comically out of place that i cant stop laughing at it
Now you're making me laugh at that line too 🤣
nice vn im in a depreesive rut and havent felt anything in a long long while this story actually made me smie for the fist time in too long so thx ari
I'm very moved to hear your words 🥰I wish you feel better💖
Also we have an UPDATE EWE🥰🥰🥰
Hello! You can find the download buttons in yellow in this page : https://ari-guardian.itch.io/heat-source choose a file depending on your device (android, Windows, Mac or Linux) 😉
You can also try deleting the current game on your phone and install it over again, you can still use the chapter select button to jump into the part of the story you want !
SPOILER
because I got confused what made Don go lumberjack-angry, that it made me subscribe to your Patreon 🤣
Hehe 🤭🥰thanks for your support bro! I haven't seen you!
Again, your pfp and name is so damn CUTE 🥰
SPOILER
Ari wtf was that?! It's freaking crazy! I didn't expect that
😅
SPOILER:
Dam man, don herman is crazy, i hope damian and mar can escape from him, it was just a head in a belly, and then he wanted already to kill his son
😖😅
Eres genial, Ari ✌🏻
uwuff!! gracias hermano! 🤩💖🥰🥰😁
I loved this new att, because I was finally able to use my translator lol now I can follow all the chapters :)
Yeiiiii 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I gotta say, the choice you made there was nerve-wracking for me because I only have one path that I really want to see it make through to the end.
Awww 🥹🥰💕🥰💕
WHAT DO YOU MEAN CHOOSE WISELY!?!?
NOTHING CHANGED!!
😭😭😭😭😭
Do the choices we make change any sort of outcome???
I'm so confused and sad and I just love Damien
I can tell you more of what the choices do on the spoilers channel on discord 🤭😈😅
Where is the discord? I want to know to, I tried a few different combinations and nothing changed. It seems kinda redundant to give us choices if they don't change anything .3.
Hello! They do change some thing by the end of the chapter 🤫 You can find the discord link on the "Socials & songs" section on the main menu 🙌
can’t waittt 🔥🔥
I hope the next update is soon ari 😇

故事很棒，代入感强，我开始期待接下来的发展了。中文版好像慢了一章。
你好！抱歉拖了这么久！我建议志愿翻译者等待另一个版本的出现，因为代码将会改变，如果一行代码被移动，他们就需要移动所有内容，这就是原因。这只是为了提高质量！感谢您的耐心！我很荣幸你喜欢这个故事！🥰🥰🔥🔥🥰
Thank you so such for a wonderful story and emersion! I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I'm excited for it too 🤭
