announcing Heatwaves - a rotational gameplay story!
what is heatwaves?
Heatwaves is literally what happens when you lie in bed late at night thinking about your blorbos and wondering what their lives would be like in high school. So I created a new save file, took some of my favorite sims (who are all successful adults in my main save) and turned them into teenagers so they could experience the best time of their lives - filled with drama, hormonal chaos and exams.
who are the protagonists?
Heatwaves focuses on the lives of four high school students and their classmates. Each family is played in turn for 7 days (Monday - Sunday).
please note!
I'm not very familiar with the US school system, as the German school system works a bit differently. The school system in Heatwaves will be a mix of my own experiences and made-up stuff.
The protagonists in Heatwaves are all between the ages of 17 and 19, as that is the usual age to graduate from high school in Germany.
I had way too much fun creating this yearbook. Also I'm fully aware that a yearbook is usually created at the end of a schoolyear (at least that's how it's done in Germany) but what better way is there than to introduce the characters in a high school story than via a silly yearbook entry? c:
Where there are winners, there are losers. And these unfortunate souls truly made some terrible decisions during their stay at the Immernacht circus. 🎪⚰️
We have Finn (Justice) as our first victim of the night. Curiosity is what kills the cat. But remember, magic is but an illusion. Surely all of this is only happened in your head.
Tao (The Moon), a mysterious young man who looks more innocent than he actually is. You feel this weird desire to become friends with him.
And William (The Sun), our second victim. He saw his fate coming and still decided to stay. You can't help yourself but don't feel sorry for him at all.
please note: I don’t know much about tarot. The cards picked for these characters are entirely based on a quick Google search.

The stage is set. The actors are dressed. Let the show beginn!
The Immernacht Circus is a fantastical place. Every year on the night of October 31, it appears as if from nowhere and blurs the worlds between phantasm and reality. The gates are open. Come in and be our guest and enjoy a night full of wonder.
"You thought we were finished with you, didn't you? Oh dear. The game hasn't even started yet."
