VN - Ren'Py - DeadMoon Survival [v0.9.1] [Hot Tomato]

Really good zombie VN, though it does have some serious flaws that I think prevents it from being excellent. To begin with, the models are honey select and the MC looks like a soy beta with a weird dick. The girls are also kinda iffy in some of the scenes, and the graphics are definitely grainy and dated in some parts. The writing is... ok usually, especially after the recent writing update BUT the MC is still written to be this annoying self loathing crybaby. I get that there is supposed to be some form of character growth or whatever, but god damn this guy is insufferable. Always crying and whining to himself in his thoughts about how pathetic he is, how he's not good enough, how he's a failure etc etc. Do you really think I want to play as a character that whines and acts like a pathetic beta loser all the time? It's so bad that I think its enough to subtract an entire star for. Aside from the cringy beta MC, the rest of the game is typically pretty damn good. I like the setting and the zombies or "infected" look good. I also think the special infected are pretty neat as well as some of the mutated fauna. However, at some parts especially when you are going out in the city and seeing said infected and fauna, there are a bunch of dumb game over screens if you pick the wrong choice. Why even have them? They serve absolutely zero purpose except to screw you over. It's not like its a skill check or something, its just a 50 50 chance of getting a gamer over screen. It's dumb. If you use a walkthrough (which here I think is mandatory) then it fixes this issue. Overall it's a pretty good zombie VN with incest being the main kink here, but with an anchor of an MC that might ruin the entire experience for you if you have zero tolerance for beta MCs.

I have some misgivings regarding the MC's character and the general pacing, but all in all this is a great story. It's about the dynamics of the 3 protagonists and the story is mostly introspective, which is interesting to me.

It's a VN, so you are just along for the trip, but it's an entertaining and engaging one.

The game is basically a kinetic novel with some minor deviations in sex scenes or, later, bad endings.
The game is once again about vomit-inducing zombies.
The game is once again about a boy who is immune to the z-disease.
The game is once again about getting close to own mother & sister.

BUT, the scenes are, freaking, E P I C!
I mean it!
The trail of thoughts and character actions during sexual events are a bit exuberated with naivety or triteness, of course, yet they transfer exactly what a participant thinks. (proven by my experience in similar situations!)

And this is exactly what makes the game excellent!

Game just disappointing and frustrating. MC is so beta that its just unbearable. His sister on the contrary is true male figure in this family. Im not even joking, shes phisically stronger, decisive, knows what she wants and acts on her desires, not overly shy, doesnt make stupid things and mistakes constantly as this mental loser.

I dont belive this story even in the slightest, this high moral, soft and unprepaired family would died in first days of this pandemic. Decorations are fake, their "Base" is just school location without any adjustments, they go around without weapons. They lived there for 6 years, mother constantly go on raids to city and yet they almost dont have any weapons, medecines etc. They sleep in the basement for six years and its just pigsty shithole without cleaning, furnishing and with cheap matrasses on the floor, how this basement is the safest place? If they were overrun this place will be their grave without escape. They easily could take nice rooms with windows to have second exit if things will go bad. They didnt make ony fortifications, defences etc like at all.

visually renders are meh, hairs grainy with glitched shadows, cloth enter bodies etc. Scenes have nice sexual tension but progress is stalling for the sake of more updates, more than 2 years of development and most of the content is kissing and teasing and mc is still a virgin.

Sound part of game is really good and thats why i give this game 2 stars.

Story 2/5
I just dident enjoy this much, stright from the start MC has a mindset of a 12 year old, thinking about sex with hes family its boring and to idiotic, theres no build-up to it or anything it goes stright to that mindset ad first thing MC ask is he they could all take a shower together, MC, hes mom and hes sister....also why dident MC do something way before he turned 18, hes been living with them for 6 years and never gone out on hes own, so to only just start getting sexual feelings at 18 is very weird.

You also lack controle of the MC, he hears someone in the shower and being a pervert he has to peek and to make it extremly idiotic MC waits outside the door nude? what? why?

From there on out all game does is forced the mother and sister on you as the player, and its mostly scenes with the mother and i am just not into that shit at all so game was really unplayable to me personaly.
The mother goes from not even considering anything sexual with her kids to full blown whore who cant stop thinking about how she wants the son to fill all her holes, i guess the pervert gene runs in the familie? cant say im a fan.

Its kinda idiotic that there arent a solo path with the sister or the mother considering theres only 2 LIs its really not much more work, why the made a path for none lesbian between mother and sister to then force both on MC feels pointless, what makes it even more idiotic is that you controle MC and the mother in some way, but even when you select "no its worng" "dont think about the son in a sexual way" and so on with the mother and as the MC tell her you dont see her in a sexual way, it still forces you to be just that and have a sexual relationship with the mother.

As for H-scenes there aret any other then some kissing, hand and boobjobs and a single anal scene and that its, game is 2½ years old and MC is still a virgin so yeah....

The main story is decent enouch but when you cant even pick who to be with in a game with 2 LIs and game talking about having choices when you start it just becomes to stupid and weird.

Girls 2/5
Dident find any of the 2 LIs hot really, the diversity is ok between the two but its still a bit meh.

Animations 2/5
Theres a lack of scenes for a AVN and those that are there arent really that great.

Somehow i think this game would have been better as a none sexual game instend of an adult game which it fails at big time.
Also very supprised to see so many 5 stars reviews it really dosent make any kind of sense to me.

Review for v0.8

I've had my eye on this game for awhile now, and I think it's fair to say my expectations were a bit higher than usual going in. I'll also preface this by saying I generally play lewd games for the story as much as the sex, and often times even more so. Now after finally playing this, what feeling am I left with after a decent 2~ hour session? Disappointment.

The overview is a lie. This is not some mature/intense zombie apocalypse game with gripping writing, meaningful choices, and deep characters. Rather, this game is just someone's incestuous fantasy that happens to take place in an apocalypse.

After a little intro where we get a flashback of the zombie apocalypse breaking out during our childhood, we then cut to the present: our 18th birthday. Our mom asks what our 18th birthday wish is. I'm gonna hyperbolize a bit here, but in essence he says "Gosh ermmm I don't know, how about to take a shower with both you and my sister at the same time!! WAIT! Not that I'm a pervert or anything!!! It's to conserve water!!!" Then, queue some thoughts of the MC perving out about their bodies.

I think this about sets what the rest of the game is like. This moves day by day using the same recycled incest trope slop that I see over and over in incest games to progressively push forward a fast moving incest plot, and really does nothing else. Once again there's apparently an apocalypse going on outside, but you wouldn't really know it. We start the game already having secured a whole school as a hideout, a stockpile of food, and for whatever reason have working water this many years into surviving. Apparently no other survivors are around, and the zombies have been nice enough not to bother our giant school building hideout. There is a clear lack of thought-out detail in anything outside of incest.

The MC makes me want to vomit a bit. He fees like a lame anime protagonist is maybe the best way to put it. Mega pervert virgin who freaks out about seeing boobs, constantly self doubting woe is me, and then delving into these cringe ass monologues that try very hard to sound profound (when in reality just feels comical more than anything).

The mom is your incest game standard. "Wow I should not be having these thoughts about my kids, but just look at his dick!!!!!" and that's about it. Genuinely, she's like the most generic incest game mom I've come across. There was a great opportunity to make her this badass survivor that had to step up for her family, which I suppose she is, but in no way is that showcased in a convincing manner. The sister is probably the best of them, but her personality is essentially a teasing brat who is also a repressed pervert and again not much else.

When the game finally does remember it's more than just incest, the parts that follow are just porn writing more than anything. How does our hideout get compromised for the very first time? After getting horny looking at his family, the mc has to go out and find a place to masturbate because he can't take it anymore. During this, he unlocked a door and forgot to relock it, causing a zombie to get in. Our sister saves our ass, our mom slaps us in the face for being completely incompetent, and then it's time for more daily apocalypse slice of life. Sick.

Now ignoring all that for a second, here is where I will actually praise the game. The sex scenes and more intimate moments are actually pretty hot. Well constructed, enticing teasing, attractive character models, and good use of sound effects. They truly are better than the average HS game. I'll also say I like lesbian stuff and the scenes between the mother and daughter, so far, have more than hit. It's not something I see commonly explored (in games I've played anyway) so I'd be lying by saying I didn't enjoy that aspect.

That's kinda where the praise ends though. I thought this game was going to be much deeper than a quickly developing incest plot, and after a few hours of playing, that proved to not be true. I'll probably return to this when I want to turn my brain off and see the sex scenes, but I plan on using the skip button whenever the MC opens his mouth. Genuinely I think I'd enjoy this more if he got removed from the game and this was just about the mom and daughter, but I digress. If you're only here for incest and sex, I'd maybe see why you'd enjoy this? I'm here for more than that though, and came out more let down than anything.

amazing game with a lot of potential to be one of the best anal focused games (I hope it will be, or at least give the possibility to the player to choose his path) on the plataform.

Important to remember this game is not a simple fap action, no there's much more to it, so keep that in mind you if you are here just for the fap, I would recommend another game.

Deadmoon Survival is awesome! The story is super interesting, characters look cool, and the scenes are great. I like how each character shows different feelings.
I'm really into it and planning to play till the end. Can't find any big problems with it. Deadmoon Survival is just a really fun game. Thumbs up!

This game has gotten amazing.
The graphics are great
Tthe story has been unfolding more and more
Tthe slow corruption of your mom and sister
The amount of content

Just hope the dev isn't going to stretch the game too far, but till will tell

Visually this VN is a mixed bag. Sometimes it looks fine, sometimes not so much. The Dev. uses the effect that looks similar to a photo negative that I've seen other HS VNs use effectively but it's not here. Also sometimes mom looks like an amazon next to son, especially early on.

The problem with the story is that the MC has been living in this apocalyptic world for 6 years, he and sis going through adolescence and puberty yet when the story begins it's the first time that sexual desires appear. I don't buy it. By this time they should have already dealt with it and are living with whatever direction they decided on, yes or no to a physical relation.

Mom's attitude on it is unrealistic and unreasonable. First she should have expected it, after all, who else are they going to look to when hormones flair up? There is no one one else. She had plenty of time to plan on how best to deal with it.

Also her reaction is as if they were still living in a normal world, if they were her attitude would be more understandable. However when your life is under daily threat for an extended period of time your outlook on many things change. Things that once seemed important become less so, other thing that weren't important become more so. Add to it the reality of their world and her stance which was pretty puritanical made less sense. Basically she expected them to take a life long oath of celibacy and be fine with it.

The Dev get's fairly wordy, a lot of narration could have been cut and they also often try to wax poetic unsuccessfully. The story take slow burn a little too far with both mom and sis often taking one step forward then one step back the next day. They spend a lot of time sitting on the fence leaning one way then back the other way.

Mom's character goes from loving mom to harsh tyrant quickly and easily.

The MC is weak and submissive, especially toward Juliet.

Juliet is annoying on a good day, on a bad day she is plain hateful. She does have bigger balls than her brother though.

There is potential, not sure how things play out as it seems other survivors maybe showing up which a part of me thinks would be unfortunate. It would be interesting to see how thing develop between the three if it remained just them. There also seems to be a supernatural vibe going on as opposed to just a survival story after a disaster which makes me leery.

Cut down on the wordiness and ease up on the more than slow burn would improve things. It would also be interesting if the women at some point began to contemplate pregnancy and wrestled with the desire for children.

Really good game. Looking forward for the next version. It has a unique character. I didn't expect it to be that good. I think it has many unique (at least based on my experience) elements. For example the description of the gravity effect on Elisabeth's tits, the description of the liquids and other.

I would suggest this game to anyone.

Current version: 0.8
Rating: 5/5

This is a very enjoyable game for me to play because of the pacing, story, characters and the immersion the setting gives. The h-scenes are creative, fun and hot. The main selling point for me has got to be the story where it really does feel like you are secluded and among the last of humanity.

Definitely recommend this game if you are here for the story and characters.

I genuinely have zero clue how the people who write these reviews seriously think this is worthy of 5 stars. Perhaps they just have a very low bar, maybe they just see something I don't see, but it's just genuinely absurd.

I'll say first off that visually it's great, so if that's the only priority then just skip through the game and enjoy the models. For some reason the developer really emphasises the use of music, despite the fact that it does very little to actually improve the experience. But hey, at least it's there. Spelling and grammar is generally pretty solid too, which is a plus.

Now, the negatives. Whoever wrote this definitely thinks themselves as something of an auteur, because they manage to fill every scene with the lamest and most convoluted asides and additions I've seen in a while. The dev establishes the relationships between each character well, but when it comes to writing, they just can't write them like actual human beings. Lets have some examples:
The MC using a line like "if only mankind could regain its splendour" in his mind. I mean seriously, who the fuck thinks like that.
Or another when he's describing how his mom has woken up. A normal person would go "huh, mom's not in bed, guess she's making breakfast", but this Vulcan ass MC goes "Mom is no longer on her bed, maybe she's cooking breakfast. Let's go help her."
I mean another example is meant to be banter between the mom and the MC, the mom will LITERALLY state "With joy! I will not refuse the help of a future master chef." Tell me what person you've ever met in your life has literally spoken their fucking feelings to you like that, unless they were Starfire from Teen Titans.
I mean they literally use the word "depilate" more than once. Have you EVER in your life, heard someone use the word depilate? It's hair removal. But they use the word depilate as if literally anyone else in the word uses that in casual conversation.

Every scene generally makes sense, it flows decently, but the dev can't write an actual human being to save their life. Every single scene is ruined by this. The fact most of it is just dialogue makes it so intensely awful to read.

TL;DR 3/10. No one sounds like a human, and in a visual NOVEL, that's crap. Good visuals though.

Review on version 0.7

Game's fantastic. Not the best I played but definitely in my top.

Writing is really good. Dialogues are well written. Story is interesting with some supernatural mystery, in addition to the zombies. The cast is limited for now, mainly the MC, his mother and his sister which allows to develop their characters properly. MC is not an overpowered jock from the start and grows slowly as a Hero, or maybe as an anti-hero depending on your choices. The lewd scenes are really arousing and very erotic.

Renders are also great for that graphic engine. Skin textures are nice, and boobs deformation is yummy. There is a nice amount of renders and well detailed for the lewd scenes. Though there is some flaws in the lighting and the shadows. The real animations (in contrast to the imitation ones with a few renders) are not the best but passable.

The pace of this game is slow but in a good way. It pulls you in and makes the story more believable. The sex content is super hot if you're into incest. My only complaint is the current version ends right when things are getting good!

Side note: I also have a bit of an issue with the vaginal sex tag as there doesn't appear to be any currently. I could be mistaken, but I don't remember any.

One of the best stories in a porn game I played.
The slow progress is just perfection could be better if there were more animated sex scenes.
If I could change one this other would be the generic looking protagonist.

This story is simply amazing. It didn't take me long to get hooked, wanting to know the backstory and history of the characters, getting invested in the budding romantic and sexual relationships between them. The character models are not quite my taste but not bad and something I could easily overlook. MC is a troubled badass who just doesn't know it quite yet. When it comes to sexual content it is a slow burn, but for me I prefer it that way. Makes things feel more natural rather than going from 0 to 100 in the matter of a few scenes.

I highly recommend this for anyone who still has an itch to scratch when it comes to zombie survival stories.

This game is truly an underrated masterpiece. It boasts impressive graphics and offers a range of choices. The dialogues are well-crafted and engaging - you want to read them and don't want to skip a word. The first time I played through the game, my heart was pounding, anticipating a plot twist.

Special mention must be made of the sound - it is simply superb. It complements the gaming experience exceptionally well. The character progression is slow and thoughtful, making everything look incredibly realistic. This is one of the best games on this forum. The plot and delivery are truly unparalleled.

Perhaps this is the best game I have ever played, period.

- v0.7 -

I'm really enjoying the story and the current mystery right now, the start of the VN is very reminiscent to an older unfinished VN that has a similar mom/sister/son combo in a zombie survival setting (won't name it due to it being against the rules I believe) but this VN has since branched out very nicely into its own while still keeping the things that made me a fan to begin with.

This is a VN that 99% revolves around the incest kink and the scenes between characters are very hot, in my opinion it is up there with the best in this regard.

The MC is an interesting one, at the very start I disliked his character. I thought he was going to be the whiny little bitch MC you sometimes see in these VNs but no, he has had real character development and is shaping up to be quite cool with the recent goings on but for people just starting out it can be a bit rough at the start since he is quite pathetic and whiny in my opinion.

The sister is also a character that some might dislike at the start but I didn't find her that bad and she definitely grows on you as she also develops along side the MC.

The mother is the glue keeping the family afloat in this setting and honestly the slow-burn in her morals being "corrupted" into liking the taboo acts more and more as it goes along is one of the reasons I enjoy this VN so much.

Regarding options, the game has non avoidable incest (obviously lol) but you can avoid lesbian scenes between the mother and daughter if you don't like it. As someone that is usually not a big fan of this type of content in male protag VNs I can say it is really well done, the dev has real talent in making these types of scenes hot AF.

Lastly there is optional NTR in the form of flashbacks but I frankly struggle to call it that in it's current form.

To conclude this VN is amazing for anyone that loves incest content as it focuses almost solely on that type of content and does it amazingly well, the story ramps up in an interesting way and I personally cannot wait to find out what the mystery with the MC is.

Looking forward to further updates and well done from the dev, it is worth supporting them.

V0.6

Really awesome game with a gripping story and nice characters. I haven't played the latest update yet and don't think it will change my mind anyway.
I really think there are a lot of Post apocalyptic games on this site. But this one has a kick ass story to stay relevant and good LI's to back it up.

Story :

The strongest factor of this game in my opinion, the twists and the cinematic moments are really good.

MC :

Initially i had my reservation on the MC because of his inability to take action but after few updates his growth has been good, so i have changed my opinion on this. Expecting the MC to show even more character growth in the future.

LI's :

Right now there are 2, who are pretty good, hope to see more good LI's in the future.

Conclusion :

I like for the fact that in this game the kinks that you don't want can be avoided pretty easily, like most of the people won't like the 3 letter word , they can just easily avoid it and there is even an indicator saying don't see it if you don't like it. Same with Lesbian, some people love it and some don't. The fact that the DEV is providing options for avoiding it is a big plus, a lotta games force Lesbian action upon the players which can't be avoided.
So props to Hot Tomato for this.

So final verdict. MASTA PIECE
