    Review of [v0.4.]

    Deadmoon survival is a slow burn incest apocalytic vn, about a family of three dealing with their daily life in a world where civilization has fallen.

    I must say that I unexpectedly enjoyed this vn, I didn’t expect such interesting experience and even with its tumbles in the first moments of the plot and some death note corny writing moments, the game as soon as it falls back it recaptures your attention.
    It’s a really little beautiful marvel I must say, among probably the best in the developing of relationships between character and incestuous writing.
    It’s never bad in fact, at his worst is average but at is best is actually great.
    The game is more of a kinetic novel with some few choices that impacts the plot, aka “do you want your sister to have an incestuos relationship with your mom?” choices, and the occasional fuck up moments, where if you fail, you get some NTR or gangbang scenes or a game over screen.
    I usually complain about games that give me few choices, because they lack of good writing but this one has a smooth english, with no hiccups, some actual touching moments, and engaging but not verbose lines that keeps you entertained.
    After all a vn, is supposed to be a visual novel, and not really a game, so reading is to be expected.

    But now let’s delve into the best quality of the game, the incest.
    So few games understand what a taboo means, and slap characters that have family titles like “mom” or “sister” without actually understanding why incest works or is hot (for the ones who enjoy it).
    The developer of this game actually understands the dynamics of it, or at least knows how a family works!
    The sexual relationship is a slow taboo, full of temptation, and guilt, it’s not a game to fap immediately, it’s an erupting volcano that takes its time to work his way through the characters and player.
    The relationship between the characters is very solid, sometimes even amazing, they act mostly naturally, the sister acts like a real one, with fights, jokes and discussion, and so does the mother.
    She knows she has responsibilities on his sons, she knows the consequences and she is eaten by the guilt and sexual frustration.
    I think as an incest game this game is top notch, it has a real quality in taboo and sex talk.

    For the son (or MC) instead, I saw people commenting he has a mentality of a horny child with no reasoning.
    And to that I say that they are kinda right but also misunderstood the situation.
    MC has been strapped of his childhood since the zombie apocalypse, not knowing how to interact with the world or females around it, living in a glass cage built by his mother to protect him.
    Of course he has a mentality like that, but thinking that is a stale character would be a mistake, he matures he slowly grows, he has to grow to survive.
    And aside from that beginning bathroom scene that was kinda corny, the game takes always different approaches to make him develop into this mess of a world.

    So as characters, it’s pretty great, as incest it’s top notch, how about zombies?
    As with zombies it’s not as good honestly as its others main qualities, it’s by no means its bad, not at all!
    But it kinda pales in comparison of the other moments, aside from the beginning and few events with zombies, the game feels yeah apocalyptic but never too much desperate or hopeless.
    The main characters live in a school, have a farm, water and such, they even have a library, and aside from all the lost privileges of modern life, I never felt really desperately thrilled or scared.
    They still have to go outside to find food and other resources and have some actually confrontations with the menaces, but these are few.
    But as with the beginning plot the game is suddenly taking a turn to spice more the zombie/apocalyptic part of the game.
    I can see that after one hour of playtime it is actually becoming more and more focused on the zombie mystery.
    So I would say that even if it is not as great as the other two, it is slowly also becoming more interesting or scary.
    In fact the vn is finally dealing with some lore about the infection and other supernatural twists that had revalued my attention and opinion on the apocalypse.
    Therefore my theory that everything here is a slowburn even the horror and the desperation part will probably slowly crawl into your mind at some point.

    There are also some scientific and literature quotes and explanations, like Eliot’s, that try to give another layer of deepness or interpretation to the vn.
    Which they work, some better than others, but I do like them.

    Graphics and renders are really good, they aren’t blurry, the game has some cool cinematic shots, focusing on the eyes, on the effects of light on the models et cetera.
    I would say that is never ugly, it’s actually very pretty to look at it, especially during the moments of twilight or evening, the game plays really well with its ambience.

    Sex scenes are few, and the buildup towards it is 100% deserved, lots of teasing and masturbation that always get more kinky and hot.

    So do I recommend it?
    Yes, I do, if you like slow building sex scenes, taboo and reading it’s a marvel.
    If you are looking for a quick fap, look somewhere else.
    Honestly I really liked it, and after replaying it, I give it 5 stars, as the games slowly evolves into quality and excitement.

    C'mon! 4/5? This game deserves 4.6/5, at least. The renders are very good and a lot of effort is obviously put into them. The models aren't bad at all. The story is quite nice. Not 100% clear where it's gonna go, but it's very promising. The dialogues and characters are well written.

    This is one of the games I've played that I was actually invested in the story and not skip and fap only. A game mixed with drama, horror and comedy. Writing so far is 10/10 and graphic is excellent. Totally recommended to play.

    Actually surprised with the rating of this game. Unlike many other AVNs on this side, this one actually has believable story with no brain dead porn-like relations. Scenes have a lot of tension, the music is on spot.

    Given how many stupid games are getting their 5 stars for nothing, I think the dev deserves praise here for at least putting some amount of effort.

    Would love to see the continuation of this one

    LOL, couldn't stand 10 minutes playing a 18 years deranged wimpy kid with a brain of 8, if you are into it by all means play it if not you better avoid it if you don't want to cringe with every dialogue of the MC.

    WHAT is this dark wizardry?? The material is good, I several times stopped myself from orgasm just to see more. As with all other games, I did skip some text, but the script, setup and drama was very good, not a single cringe moment.

    But BEST of all... The buildup, man. This is textbook mastery in authentic progression. One of the hardest things with these incest games is to provide believably conflicted characters, and it's done well.

    And no BS time-wasting!!!

    " Just ignore the bad reviews and play this game if you're a sucker for a good vanilla incest VN like me "

    This game is simply amazing, the way the incest relationship went is so natural, very believable and also HOT AF!!, the two LIs (Mom and Sis) are very lovable and unique in their own ways, and we didn't see many games that touch on the relationship between Mom and Sis without MC. All I can say is that I want this game story to be a standard for any Incest VN. This one is now on my best games list.

    The graphic of this game is good, I'm not a fan of a game with Honey Select models at all, but this one is an exception.

    The NTR part, I know many will runaways solely bc of that tag but trust me at this point ( V.0.3.1) there's barely any actual NTR scene, and they all depend on your choice. Both LIs love the MC to death.

    So to keep it short I'm a big incest VN fan and if you're like me you'll love this game as I do.

    First of all, you should ignore most of the reviews from 2021 because apparently the game had quite a big rework in the last updates and I don't see any reason why it could be 1 or 2 stars for someone in the current state.
    1. Graphics 4/5: they are good enough, not breathtaking because it's using honey select but there isn't any of that bad looking anime-like stuff. Lighting can be a bit bright in some scenes but that's the only issue. The character models are beautiful and the best part in this department.
    2. Sound 5/5: it has some sounds in certain scenes to make it more immersive and the music choices are top-notch.
    3. Writing 5/5: I saw the changelog about 0.3.1 with reworked writing and I didn't have the chance to play it before this but damn, it's freaking good now. The build up is excellent, I didn't see many mistakes, there's quite a lot of dialogue, which I like, and the lewd scenes are even hotter cause of this. Only small issue is a bit of repetition betwen some dialogues but I guess it's part of the starting build up.
    4. Story 5/5: It's not sandbox so that's always a good thing, there's flashbacks, intense moments, fun moments... Overall its what you would expect from an apocalypse, grim but with some hope remaining. Character development is amazing so far thanks to the many different types and moods of the scenes. It also looks like the supernatural will have a big role in the future and that's interesting.
    Overall, this game is currently a 5/5 for me. You can change your character name and relationships so if you are looking for an incest game, this is one of the best you'll find (it seems to be built for that too). If you don't like NTR (which by the way, it isn't really ntr, it's just tense choices that could result in zombie harassment due to lore reasons) you can easily accept a warning at the start and you'll see the "wrong" choices in red.

    I'd say there's not a lot to unpack here, but at the same time it's a good amount of content for a 0.3. There's good renders and decent dialogue. Not the worst but far from the best. What you have here is a good effort and a Dev at least trying to make a coherent story. And that's better than 99% of the crap on here and it should be recognized.

    Art: 4/5 - It's honey select renders, not exactly expecting anything too crazy, but the girls here are hot and nothing looks too crazy or out of place. There's a couple animations though I wish there was more. The H scenes you find yourself in are sexy and interesting from a story pov.

    Gameplay: 4/5 - It's a VN. Not a whole lot of gameplay. However, I'll rate the only gameplay we have. And that's the choices. Early on you're given a free walkthrough of sorts (kind of) where you're told specifically what scenes will lead to NTR and what will not. Some unmarked choices lead to different sex scenes and that's great news as well. It's overall well done in making the choices you choose matter and not just be flavor text for 1-2 sentences.

    Story: 4/5 - The story is above average and is an interesting look on the zombie story. You're a kid who's mom and sister are the only people you know left alive. You're sheltered, a bit wimpy, and overall just a teenager. Things in the story happen and you get to slowly choose how you want to react. The mom is the cliche overprotective but slowly opening up kind of person. And the sis is the cliche over sexual perverted tsundere. Cliche isn't always bad though if done right. And I'd say the Dev puts in enough work here.

    Overall: 4/5 - I'd get give it a solid 4/5 from me. But I'm going to be rating it a 5/5 just because I think games like these need to pushed upwards. Sure it's great to be critical, but at the end of the day a higher rating means more eyes on the project which leads to better or quicker updates. It's not an MTL garbage game that someone made and is selling for a quick buck. It's a nice project that I'd be happy to see more of.

    Before I Forget

    I know it's a zombie apocalypse type game... But these people are fucked. Maybe in more ways than one.


    Renders:

    It's okay I guess for a honey select style.


    Characters:

    Wimpy pervy teen main character - Check
    Pervy instant lesbian Mom and Sis - Double check.

    Story:

    It shows the breakout and everything and the beginning, we get a glimpse and the father who seems like a badass but unfortunately, we don't get to have him as the main character but instead a wimpy, weakling kid. The mother is this cliché "I'm a mother, this is bad" shrew that probably has issues upstairs, if you know what I mean. She went Dom-lesbian at the drop of a hot, as did the sister. They seem to focus more on sexy time instead of survival, guess when the worlds gone to shit what else do you got to look forward to. The dialogue is what you can expect in this situation, should I stay or should go mumbo jumbo. "I'm spying on my Mom, I have a boner" stuff.

    I'm rooting for the pervy zombies.

    A solid 4.5/5 game but i will put it as 4 as the writing can be over the top at times, the characters are super hot and everything else is well written overall, english isn't really an issue, trust me this game will become one of the top earners on this site sooner or later.

    Amazing game! I don't have any complaints about it, the renders look good, the characters are well written. Just I hope that we can see in a future more NTR (Maybe reverse NTR too?). I had fun with the comedy, and even though I guess I lose many scenes for my decisions, I'm not mad for that, I'm satisfied.

    I really hope that this project gets the fame that it deserves! This game has a lot of potential, and the dev too!

    Usually I don't write nor rate games, but this is one exception to that rule! Best of my wishes, Tomato, I hope you update the game soon!

    v0.2 - So far I liked it, the characters present in the game are good-looking and original, and the plot is interesting. Conflicting scenes are avoidable which is a good thing, but not sure yet how it will affect the story later, not significantly I hope. Will wait for the next updates, good luck!

    A good game. The characters are interesting and look good enough where my eyes don't bleed. The renders portray the situation and emotions well. It also touches on themes that are usually an after thought in most other games.

    A bit rough around the edges but there is potential here.
    Will be interesting to see what's here in a couple of updates.
    It has some odd spelling and expressions but overall it's a good game.
    The models look good.

    For ver .2 excellent update! First, this update doesn't add to the end of ver .15 but it definitely makes it more beefy. There's tons of new text, new scenes and extensions of older ones added, I really enjoyed replaying it this time. It felt like I played it the first time all over again. The dev really gets more in depth about their backstory and relationships with each other and I really felt captivated at times just getting lost in the story, especially during the flashbacks. The writing is just *chefs kiss*. Honestly, I was expecting just to hold skip to see the new content of this release yet I couldn't because there's so much more to see. Animations were smooth when used, other H scenes were just as excellent without them. The music really adds to the immersion. Also that rape scene at the end, when you make the wrong choices, is just perfect.

    Cheers to the dev, can't wait to see what happens next.

    There is not much to say here: It's an excellent virtual novel.
    There are minor language (English) issues but in general it's all fine. Despite of that it's very well written and I don't think it deserves less than 5 stars.

    Sesinho

    Engrish is present, kiss scenes are interesting, but there is not much besides that. ITs leaning heavyly to the milf, and this must be a thing in these survival games.
    The game is decent when it uses custom stuff, but gets average mediocre when it decides to use default animations.

    For content there is not much, there is NTR sex, and for the MC toget t that point we will have to wait untill like in December 2035 for the mother, and Decemebr 2055 for the sister sicne there is one handjob at the end of 0.15

    There is a part of the game where the MC describes how certain night things became more lewd everyday that passed. I chuckeled cause he satrted kissing his sister, and after a week he was still kissing his sister, but grabbing her tit. I dont know how this thing works but with all the girlfriend I had i never had to bother with this bullshit. Grabbing the girls tit is kind of a must when tongue kissing.

    And in a later scene she talks about how she likes the mc wandering hands...Well she liked it the only time we saw it happening: ONCE, i guess th 6 times before that she didnt allow him to touch her? Well i digress. Bad writing.

    Alof th aboeve makes me think that maybe in 235 the rating will go up, but not now, its not good enough, its not even so so if you have a functional brain.

    Played Version: v0.15

    TL;DR: Serviceable world introduction but not a lot of sexual content (Though it’s working its way up fast). Character development is a little rough. Worth keeping an eye on if you enjoy horror VNs.


    I am perhaps being a little generous with my score, but I do appreciate anyone willing to venture into the horror genre.

    The game starts a few years after the beginning of a zombie apocalypse. While some brief glimpses are given of the past, this 3-person family unit has been relatively isolated for years at this point. This can help explain the characters sometimes erratic mental state as well as why some relationships might be getting closer than they would otherwise be under normal circumstances (Flowers in the Attic? Not that VN’s need a reason). So with that in mind we are not seeing a sudden rush to lust but a situation that has been building for a while.

    There is honestly not enough progress in the story to get a full feel for how things will develop, but it appears to me there may be two paths the rather feminine looking MC may take (Those panties you are wearing?). A submissive, possibly NTR, approach (Kind of where he starts) or come of age and take a more dominant approach (Here’s hoping). We don’t see enough action to know for sure, but with the relatively limited choices so far this might be the case.

    Pros:
    -Overall world atmosphere serves its purpose. There is some mystery here that looks like we will be drip fed over the course of the game.
    -Didn’t encounter any bugs.
    -I liked the bisexual nature of the women in the game. However, making sure the player feels like they have control over this development to some degree will probably be crucial to keeping players happy (MC interrupting or instigating it?). Some may feel like this is NTR. I personally feel like it is more NTR-lite and don’t have a problem with it unless it becomes the main focus.
    -Can choose relationships. HOWEVER, a better intro for this probably needed as I was a bit confused at first.

    The Okay:
    -Models are okay. I like them, but at best they are average.
    -Characters state of mind. They have been at this for years now and I feel the writing is trying to convey this, but it seems to come out a bit clumsily (Like this sentence).
    -English is okay. Minor mistakes, but I didn’t have any difficulty understanding it.

    Cons:
    -Choices that lead to game over with no real clues on the right one other than guess and try (Example: Left or Right when running). I don’t mind these, but what is the point? These choices are often timed so I guess it is an attempt to inject some adrenaline into the scene, but I do remember there is a save function so meh. I believe the wrong decisions would be better served with perhaps some 'fun' game over scenes to up the sexual content but keep the main story at a more moderate pace.
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    -Not enough sexual content as of V0.15 to get a good feeling for how things will go. That said, not the worst start I have seen.
    -Can’t choose MC’s name. Choosing other characters names are also cool, but I think MC name choice at this point is almost standard.

    I strongly hope the creator keeps up with this game and I hope to come back in a few versions and see how things have progressed.

    I see a lot of negative reviews which surprised me. All in all I really enjoyed this one. Yes the author is not an native English speaker (but its not terrible), and the honey select model are pretty dated. But its still quite an enjoyable slow to medium burn VN. The timed choices are a bit annoying and there is no sense if they alter the story in any significant way. I'm a fan and am looking forward to this one progressing.
