Ren'Py - Behind the Doom DR [0.2.0.8][EroDev]

I was a big fan of the original game, and am sad we won't get to see it finished. That said, this is a pretty good wrap-up given there's no more art from the original creator.

It's not bug-free by any means (characters seem to refuse to use the nicknames you tell them to, and I had a thing where Polaris's intro scene kept triggering for like 20 days) but it's better than the last update we got.

It is too grindy for my tastes and the questlog isn't super helpful sometimes - "talk to this character in their cell" isn't helpful when there's no dialogue option and you have to do other stuff to unlock it. The battle system is interesting, but there seem to be skills that aren't useful and a lot of things aren't explained well. The game economy should have more options for passive income from investments, otherwise it's just a lot of assigning missions -> special activities to grind stats -> end day.

All those complaints aside (they're minor in the overall picture), I admire the work put into reviving this and restoring cut content. I hope there's another version that fixes a few things above, but otherwise I think EroDev would be a good asset to a team working on a game.

I was a big fan of the original release and in very glad it was saved after what happened with the original. Hopefully we can get more updates, because this was an amazing save. There is an actual feeling of progression with this. Only encountered one bug with Polaris where it keeps giving me her intro cutscene and the scene with her and Wanda every time I sleep and then go to Doom's bedroom.

A really solid remake.
EroDev fixed the bugs, restored a lot of the unfinished content, cleaned up the script, added a proper gallery, and made the game run smoothly. The existing scenes are great, and now they’re actually playable and easy to revisit.
Short? Yes. Incomplete? Yes.
But this is hands-down the best version we’ll ever get, and it’s absolutely worth your time. Huge respect to EroDev for saving it.
