VN - Ren'Py - Contagion Crisis [v0.5.0] [WeLoveMonsters]

A kinetic novel always runs the risk of the main characters taking decisions that go against what the player would want and turning them off the game, but I think this did it quite well thus far (as of 0.5), even if I do appreciate having choices still. The story backdrop and setting are a bit cliche; I'd say the only cop-out that I've not been a fan off is the police station with how quickly that turned, I think there was potential for more development the how it happened of that situation.

The animations and sex scenes are very good if this is the sort of thing you're into, and I like Sarah's model, though I would say her character seems a bit bipolar with how quickly she gives in to sex. The reason why I'm giving this 3 instead of 4/5 stars is Ava, very much not a fan of her design and she is a bigger focus than Sarah so has a bigger influence on my rating. I just end up skipping through her scenes as much as I can. Still, if you're into the monster / zombie scenes, this is very good and recommended, unlike a certain other game that wimped out *cough cough* DMS *cough cough*

The plot is fairly intriguing, but it does contain some illogical elements. Since the story is still in its early stages (at least it seems so), it could go either way. Superb animations and models. Action-packed but regrettably still lacking in content, but it keeps the player interested. Many sounds, including some music, all seem to fit. Love both heroines.

Overall, I'd give it 4,5 stars, but I'm inclined to round up based on how much I enjoyed it.

What is there is good overall, but its incredibly short. Updates seem to come out decently quick, but its not even worth playing every update. I wasn't rushing and finished this latest update in 5 minutes. I would definitely just wait until the final release for this one.

It's very cool, I'm waiting for the continuation, thank you. Don't stop, everything is very good. The protagonists' struggle with the virus, with their own desires, this is what distinguishes it from many stories. These small stories and details overall create a very good plot. It's a great pleasure to read the script and I hope someone will be interested in your script in the future to make a good animation. Even you, if you have a good sponsor

What a fantastic game! Many thanks for this marvelous sequence of incredible graphics. I would love to see a bit more sexual tension, but never the less I just have to admire what you gave us. Thanks a lot for this gift and waiting eagerly for the next update.

Played on version 0.4.0

Recommendation level: So short you won't be able to unzip before it's over

+ Mid-renders
+ Animations

- A lot of reading

Comment: It's a kinetic novel, what did I expect? Well, it shows promise but not worth the hype due to the limited content.

I like it , it has everything thing I want well except the choices but the game doesn't need them it is good as of now and the renders and animations are excellent , the chapter time isn't too long it can be longer I like the concept it's not new by any means but he did it perfectly

Thought this could be a quickie, ended up in a dark story.

The story is eerily well written, seriously, much praise to the writing. The main characters have realistic emotions and dialogue that reflects it. I experienced the world through the eyes of the sisters, their reactions basically conveyed my thoughts 1-to-1. Additionally, the side characters don't overstay their welcome. They serve their purpose by progressing the main characters' arc and overall plot. Lastly, the renders are also of impressive quality, but that is really the cherry on top of the cake that is the plot.

Very well done, this world is twisted and I want to see more of it. Highly recommended to anyone that has an interest in a dark alternate reality.

Good game with different atmosphere! Like the resident evil wipe. Devs having a pretty fast developing speed and always keeping the red line. Also pretty transparent on discord. I recomment to play this game even if you arent into monster stuff its worth trying out!

Cant see many games like this one, i love that, zombies, monsters, corruption... i love these tags and it have it all. Maybe a downside is the story is all around just 2 characters or zombies fuching each others mostly, but still, this game have all i wanted. Waiting to see how it continues.

The gripping narrative keeps you on edge as Sarah and Ava navigate the eerie, danger-filled streets of Grimhaven, uncovering dark secrets along the way. With its well-crafted atmosphere, engaging characters, and pulse-pounding tension, this kinetic novel offers a unique and immersive experience for fans of both horror and erotic storytelling. If you love monster horror with a seductive twist, Contagion Crisis is a must-play!

I think we need more lewd zombie games. If you are going to go down the forced sex road, there should be some consequences for the characters. Sex zombie effs me and I like sex and turn into a new sex zombie gets old very fast. I think I stopped reading after Chapter 2, because I just wasn't invested in the story or characters. The animations were above average, but I added no spunk to the already copious amounts in this game. 3 stars for the animations and first few scenes of the game. Gonna ignore this moving forward.

Contagion Crisis [v0.4.0 at the time of review] is a solid 3.5/5, but since there are no half-stars, I have to knock it down to 3. Why?

• The story in CC is your standard zombie apocalypse scenario - with a lewd twist, where the "zombies" aren't eating people, but get horny and fuck their victims incessantly. Pretty good premise, all in all.
• Art style is Honey Select, but that is a matter of preference - when done right (like this game is), it can compete with some Daz3D heavy hitters. Essentially, it boils down to "anime" vs "photorealistic" style, but both are equally good in their own right. The main advantage of every HS game is that animations are almost always guaranteed, and most of the time they are very fluid & erotic.
• Plot is where things begin taking a downward turn. The entire fetish behind this game is monster/zombie rape, so be warned! The girls are - and will continue to - get raped by zombies/infected as the story goes on. If this is your jam, then by all means, just play the game. However, one crucial aspect to remind every type of player here is that CC is a kinetic novel - no choices of any kind! For the fans of this "genre", it means no choosing how often or which monsters to get raped by; for the fans of branching storylines in apocalyptic scenarios (good end vs bad end), this means no way to influence the plot.
  • Further, the developers have made it clear that this game will not have a bad ending, so it seems the heroines will overcome this apocalypse scenario... somehow, keep that in mind.
• Due to the aforementioned kinetic nature of the novel, the characters in this story sometimes suffer from 'intentional stupidity' - all in service of moving the plot forward. Not a good way to progress the story, and since you are at the mercy of the storyteller (more so than with "branching" novels), some plot points will have you scratching your head. 'Take it or leave it' is the name of the game here.
  • One such scene is the staple of zombie movies: the survivors neglect to carefully inspect a brand new arrival - that survived a zombie attack - and bring that same person into their sanctuary, which naturally spells doom for the rest of the survivors soon after, when the person turns during the night and infects everyone else.
  • Another example, though not of stupid choices, but stupid setups: the protagonists come across a group of survivors that have taken advantage of the destruction of the society (mere days after it, in fact), and have formed a 'band' of horny people engaging in orgies and/or light sodomy. Their reasons for doing this are none other than "for fun", and given what happens to our heroines, it becomes clear this was "setup" only to give the viewers a sex scene - more specifically, a sex scene for the older sister, the level-headed, stoic-soldier-type that would otherwise probably never even have one in this situation - and not something with any bearing to the main plot whatsoever.
• This one might be a personal "grudge" of mine, but I want to see consequences of lewd action. So far, since the main antagonists have been mindless infected, there is no real consequence for the girls getting raped (with the exception of the older sister, that was raped by a human, but whether or not she gets pregnant is up in the air for now), because we know the game will not have a bad end. Kinda disappointing if any real or lasting consequence are swept under the rug, but that is neither here or there for now.

Anyways, the crux of this story rests on how the developers finish out this story. A promised happy ending to the story means that a lot of the weight of an apocalyptic story can easily be robbed away from the player, especially if you are looking for more than just watching girls get penetrated by zombies. If you are among the latter, then well, this game is built precisely for the likes of you - the rest of us have to contend with a middling narrative that threatens no satisfying resolution to the story. Good zombie rape simulator, but a shaky narrative so far.

Contagion Crisis takes place in the beginning of a zombie apocalypse in a city called Grimhaven, where the two sisters are trying to find safety in the city. Sarah works for a security sector of a corporation that deals with secretive property. She has military training, is bad-ass and sexy. Her younger sister Ava is your stereotypical introverted gamer. Sarah's mission is to get to her work place office and is suppose to protect her sister. Which Sarah doesn't do greatly because Ava have already been raped multiple times by them so called zombies which imo ruins the plot for the story

Pros:
- High quality animations and graphics
- Both of the main characters are likeable
- The sex scenes are good

Cons:
- Short
- Things start to become unnecessarily prolonged and repetitive
- Plot holes

7.5/10 as for v0.4
I can recommend to check it out if you like linear story telling, otherwise if you are looking for a game/visual novel with interactive gameplay or choices that matter, It's probably not for you

The art style is out of this world and the smooth amination. Really great games with a good and easy to understand story. The game developer(s) also really connect with the players and communicate really often. At the moment maybe it still not that "PERFECT" to all people but this game should definitely score a huge positive points to the players in F95. Lastly the game could be a little more kinky maybe add sub and dom or some fetish and maybe add choices to the game.
Over all 9,8/10

wow. this game is one of the best I've played this year. The models are absolute gorgeous. The story is great. The h scenes are hot. The fact that it has zombies, dystopian setting, female protagonist, rape, tentacles and more is great. I would love it to have more lesbian stuff and incest but still great without .

This game is very good, I had already seen this idea for a game but here it is very well executed, it makes you curious to know what will happen to the sisters, in addition the game has very beautiful graphics and that is even better, my only criticism is that there are no choices and that is kind of annoying if there were choices it would be even better because it would give more freedom for the player to choose how to play

Contagion Crisis is a high quality and compelling kinetic novel with an interesting, if not familiar, premise and setting centred around a pair of sisters who are attempting survive and are in the process of being corrupted by the post-apocalyptic world around them. The models/renders of the girls are stunning and I look forward to seeing the story develop around them as thus far it has been done so in a fluent and natural manner.

A word of caution though, this is a kinetic novel, if you are looking for a game/visual novel with interactive gameplay or choices that matter, then this is not the project for you. Sit back and watch the plot unfold before you.

Good game. Underrated for how polished it is. High quality animations and graphics. Needs more content, only about 1-2 hours of content so far. The characters are likeable and the plot is a great idea. Can't wait to see where it will go!

By far one of the more superior corruption type games. I've always had fun with these zombie ones, and for once the heroes seem to be very vulnerable to the whims of the infected roaming the city. Love the direction so far, keep it up!
