VN - Ren'Py - Completed - DeadMoon Survival [v1.0] [Hot Tomato]

Version 0.8

There is no shortage of incest games, but man this is the most emotionally and sexually charged incest AVN I have ever come across. Playing Deadmoon is akin to getting edged and blue balled constantly to the point that you quietly scream “Ram it in! Ram it in!” by the time the 10th sex scene arrives.

Story
The story is that of standard zombie post apocalypse, MC is stuck in an abandoned school with his mother (Elisabeth) and sister (Juliet) and players go through their daily interactions. Despite the setting, there is very little zombie action in the first 6 - 7 hours of the game. The story up to V0.5 is heavily concentrated around the SLOWLY intensifying sexual relationship not only between MC and Elisabeth / Juliet but also between Elisabeth and Juliet.

You need to enjoy incestuous slow burn to get through the initial stage because there will be very limited action / adventure outside the school and hints of a greater plot are few and far between, but the sexual tension between all three characters in the school is very well crafted and immersive.

When things start to heat up at the latter of V0.6, the developer combines adrenaline raw action with twisted sibling love seamlessly to bring the whole experience to a mini climax by the end of V0.7. The script and dialogue is magnificent and lifts up to being a true visual novel.

Game Mechanics
Straight forward AVN with choices that allows you to skip scenes, otherwise it’s mainly kinetic.

Background / Character Renders
The backgrounds at the start are standard Honey Select stuff as most of the action takes place in a generic school anyway. At the latter stages when the party roams around the infested city, they are detailed and convincing. There is also smart use of color shadings and lighting that hints at underlying tension and depression which fits in nicely with the story background.

Character renders are “controversial” because although built with Honey Select, they are geared towards the end of realism instead. As a result they share levels of ruggedness seen in Daz3D renders - Elisabeth looks like a sturdy MILF of her age (unlike HS middle aged female models that tend to look like mid 20s) and Juliet comes across as tough, manly with a chiseled face from some angles instead of a cute Anime high school archetype we are familiar with.

I love this approach as it makes the game far more immersive and the LIs are more believable and easy to invest in emotionally given the cruel story world.

Character Development
This is a through and through incest game without harem, so you only have two LIs who are your mother and sister. It is also multi-protagonist so you witness events from multiple POVs though MC still retains majority. This allows the game to devote plenty of time to develop each of the three characters individually.

MC starts off as a wimp and by the end of V0.8 has grown significantly stronger and more confident. Juliet starts off as a bitch twin who makes snide remarks at MC all the time but this slowly changes to that of love and inter-dependency at a later stage.

However Elisabeth behaves illogically most of the time - always preaching about morals and then next moment indulging in various sexual activities with her son and daughter. She exists as a critical plot device to highlight the wrongness of incest constantly thus amplifying the kink and depravity, but that also makes her character inconsistent and unconvincing consequently.

Sex Scenes
Many of them but in a slow burn fashion. Each subsequent scene pushes the envelope slightly forward and stops just when you think something big is about to happen. If you are expecting a quick pounding for fap, then this ain’t the game for you, but if you value a slow slide into debauchery then yea it’s top notch.

The ever teasing dialogue and constant “no this is wrong” from Elisabeth backed by appropriate dramatic BGM and nice animations brings incest sex to a whole new level.

BGM and Sound Effects
Appropriate use of BGMs that convey a sense of tension and hopelessness in the school and brings out the danger and excitement during zombie sequences. Sound effects are standard fare but used appropriately especially door banging and zombie growls.

Conclusion
Deadmoon is not for everyone - it focuses on and only on incest i.e. there are no other LIs. The character models are HS but unconventionally bend towards realism while the slow burn is really slow. It’s a game where you need to enjoy the incestuous journey instead of constantly looking for an outcome.

The story hints at something supernatural in the future and some new characters are slowly being introduced, so that could break the monotony in the future. All in the story’s just beginning even at V0.8 and things could get even better going forward.

Top notch story telling makes everything else that much better. The characters have believable thoughts in a not so believable future. The family relationships start out like any other story and then are slowly re-crafted and beautifully weaved into the a futuristic setting rife with incestual compulsion. Top 3 on my all time list.

This game is a hidden gem imo, the renders not as amazing as the top rated HS games but still looking good especially the Mom ( for some reason i really love her looks ).

If i want to be nitpicking then i would say that the lesbian and minor NTR scene are not my thing and i was hoping that the works on those 2 scenes would be better if allocated it to Mom & Son or Brother & Sister scenes instead.

Another thing that i wanted to be in the game is 1-2 new girls being added in the game so we can have varieties of sex scenes. overall the game still good despite all the minor stuff that i really dislike, a science fiction as a core story and nice build up of the relationship and not just your typical meet and fuck.

their where many points in the game where I wanted to quit and write this game off
and the reason for that is because a big majority of the game has the main character stuck in one place for 70-80% of the game.

in the beginning the game takes a day by day approach which allows you to get to know the characters and their routines better and I found this part kinda miserable since I already didn't like the sister off rip

as the game goes on you get flashbacks to when the apocalypse started and this to my knowledge is the only plausible NTR content in the game

this game had some humorous moments but they were few and far between and incest is not my thing thus not really into that side of the game
and right as I was about to hop off the game something incredible happened

the characters decided to break their monotonous routine

when that happened I decided to stay up an extra 30 mins and in those thirty minutes I witnessed peak fiction
it was nearing the end of the 7th chapter that I had finally gotten an erection not because of the visuals but because of the peak writing that was in front of me
I was looking around my room in disbelief and I was thinking to myself, where had this been for the past 3 hours
it took me 6 chapters to witness that moment and it was worth it
def give this game a try but give it time you wont be disappointed

It was engaging till the third time the same thing happened. I want [sex] > get some [sex] > incest is bad. Repeat. (Sex being, usually, masturbate tbh, with the ocasional kissing)


If she, at least tried to give a reason why it's bad instead of just saying "nuh-uh" and then proceding to fap her son, or they at least tried to argue with her that, hey, it's either incest or nothing, but no, they are too afraid to say anything, but just about that! About everything else? The conversations are "deep" and have a back-and-forth of some kind.

It's just such a pacebreaker, it completely ruins the immerson of "real people surviving" for no reason, the game isn't that deep or anything, but it was a good read, strong foundations and all.

Game is a big disappointment, I don't know what to say?

Well, even if I forced my self to give high rate to this game, then what the hell I even supposed to say?

Well, let's the start with the most basic and important part about AVNs.

Renders and graphics:- man you tell me, what you want to say?
You can already guess the quality, but still 0.8v was lil better than before, however it doesn't changed the fact that all of the characters looks ugly, only MCs mom looks somewhat a little good.

Lis:- As I already said they look ugly, but the most ugliest girl is MC sister, she looks more like a man, just the opposite of MC, where isaac(MC) looks like a sissy a femboy, where her sister looks like a true male with strong muscles if you into femdom then this game is for you.

To make this review short, I just wanted to say if you're too bored then you can give this game a shot, but still for me it's not worth playing, nothing I find interesting however the cliffhanger got me but still for me this game was always a side where I play this game while I'm too much bored or when I'm on holidays.....lol.

Well, goodluck to those who wanna try, obviously everyone have different taste, you might end up liking this game who knows.

Well, good luck!

Oh man again same pathetic MC, although this one is little bit different, it's been almost an year since I touched this game.

I played this game co-writer's game, MC is not much different almost same you can say.

It's not just about MC but there's more, but let's start with good things.

1st. Writing is good, I have to give that writing is pretty good, you won't have any problems while reading and 2nd story is kinda interesting, I'm always a fan of this type of story.

Now to talk about what things i dislike.

1st. I will start with MC, protagonist whatever you say, there's a male protagonist, MC called isaac, even though it have multiple protagonist tag you can guess, who's the main character his default name is isaac only his name is changeable, that's the proof of he's a main character (MC)
Now back to point he's so much pathetic now what faults he have?

i. He's a total simp, perving on your sister who's insufferable, just a typical perverted MC (who thinks I see hole I will goal).

ii. I have no idea how much strength he have but i can say he's a weak-ass can't even match your sister, his endurance is almost zero, just one punch from his sister, he not only just knockout blood starting to bleed out of his nose with just one punch, that's our MC.

iii. Not his thought and activities just childish but looks like a 12 yeah or 13 year old kid, specially his height I don't think his height is more than 4 feet, or maybe around 4.5 feet too.
There's a lil bit more but no point talking about that, let's move on.

2nd. About lis (love interests)
Mainly there's 2 love interest, your mom and your sis.

One thing doesn't make sense at all, in zombie apocalypse why? I mean how they can wear heavy makeup? They looks like came from some kind of beauty parlour....lol.
When you pay attention their figure is really ugly, MC mom face is beautiful because but her body doesn't interest me much, his sister ahaha I don't even know what to say, she not only have ugly body but also have a weird face sometimes I feel like it's better if she's a boy (and MC)
Despite how ugly she's, her attitude isn't good, her attitude towards MC doesn't seems any good, calling him pervert (but lusting on your own mom lol) beating your brother ass and so on..........

About renders the rework was good, designing of the characters was not much appealing, one thing I have skin texture was good though despite their ugly body skin texture was it's shows dev potential.

Sound effects was good too, because of sound effects i got the courage to continue this game, animation was ok, I don't usually listen to music, so can't say anything about music (so yeah it's upto you how you like it)
I'm giving 2 stars because of writing, sound effects and story.

There's a lot more to say, but I won't gonna say it will change nothing, anyway game is about to complete so no point of writing an essay.
One thing I would definitely gonna say I got disappointment in other review

That's all I have to say, still good luck looking forward where that cliffhanger end. Haha

Now I finished the game time to give a review hehe.
I will start with the best to worst.

THE BEST

One of the best thing I found here is story, like story is really really amazing, and story is the only thing I play visual novel I don't care much about lewd scenes honestly, if story is good then I would say it's worth trying, not the best but decent enough I can say for others who's gonna try, and that cliffhanger was something else man.
concept of story I found quite amazing I can say that's why I kinda like this game.

well written is English too ccouldn't find any kind of grammatical mistakes and I don't have any problems while reading.

THE AVERAGE

Honestly I think the designing of characters is not so good, I won't even say it's good, around average I think, but I don't like the designing much, the only character I like is male protagonist mother she's kinda sweet and beautiful too specially her eyes.

THE WORST

There's is many thing I don't like about this game like male protagonist sister, she's kind of...........how to say......she's like a real male or a real protagonist it's seems sometime, I don't like her attitude towards male protagonist and she seems to be a real alpha male, she's exactly opposite of male protagonist mother, his mother is sweet,beautiful, caring and on ther hand his sister ugh! I don't even want to talk about, she's a bit ugly honestly I think, she's arrogant too, annoying af too, too many things I don't like about her.

About Male Protagonist "Isaac" ugh! Man can't you make a decent MC?
He's a simp without a doubt, he's a wimp too, his sister make him look like a wimp and a weak-ass many times, he even look too average and too young like 12 or 13 year old boy, I hope after that cliffhanger he become a badass, in my opinion MALE protagonist should have some decent personality, if there's graphic Violence then give him some strength too, NEVER said and NEVER gonna say make him a gigachad.
Just decent personality and giving solid reply to annoying girls like his sister is enough I can say, it's pretty common how people showing male protagonist as a simp, and how he always got beat up by girls, I don't like passive male protagonist, that's all I have to say.

I hope in next update MC become a badass, cliffhanger was amazing, looking forward to where it all ends.
Good luck man❤❤❤

Amazing game. The story is really good enough to get me hooked up, the dialogues are also well written.

I look forward to how the story will develop now that we know Isaac is immune to the virus and has some connection with the other infected, although it seems his "spider sense" only works with them and not with normal humans considering how he was captured.

Also i really like how Elisabeth and Juliet can kick ass, they aren't some dumb and cliché dansel in distress, in fact they saved Isaac several times.

And i quite liked the sex scenes, even if all the blue balling until we reached them almost killed me.

This is one amazing game and i am very happy that i found it.

Fuckin epic!!
Story, environment and character writing is soo good.
Slow burn is what makes it that good.
It's not straight to sex and characters are not hungry for sex, that's a plus point for me.
As they are related their interactions feels believable,Character writing is somewhat realistic. The sexual tension and lewd situations which it creates is epic. Hoping for quicker updates, nice job done by the devs

I'm only 30 minutes in but this is already really good.

The music is really good, it doesn't feel like placeholder it's actually fitting the scenes and enjoyable and not the usual ones we always hear in these games.

I like the sister and MC I feel like they really have their personality. I think the mother is OK but would need to see further to confirm.

And the story so far is engaging, I really want to see what happens next.

Edit: 2 hours in, and honestly there are some really really great scenes.. Both H-scene and normal ones. I love it, the more I see of the sister the more she's my favorite character, she's flawed in an amazing way

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!
