Europe Heatwave Simulator

It's 42°C and you live in Europe, so of course there is no AC. Survive a 14-day heatwave in a Paris studio: melt on camera for your remote job, riot for the last discounted AC unit, lose every fan auction to scalpers, pay rent every Sunday. The heat ends. The landlady does not. PSX survival comedy.
