Others - Completed - Deserted Island Company Trip -Women's Survival Strategy- [v1.05] [Yasaniki]

This is undoubtedly one of the best games to play in 2025. For me, it's a Game of the Year contender, the content is very erotic and there's plenty of it. The gameplay is very solid, If it had animations it would be the perfect game, but it doesn't, It's a shame 9/10 for the lack of animations

First of all, it's worth your time. It's an actual game and not a picture unlocker. There is an actual gameplay but sadly it's terribly unbalanced. Gameplaywise only the first week (maybe a bit more) is great in regards to gameplay. Its decently hard at first (as survival game should be) but soon becomes waaay to easy and repetitive. By the way - game let's you choose at the beginning between hard and easy mode so good advice from me DO NOT bother with easy mode, "hard" is very easy and with "easy" mode you supposedly miss out on some scenes.

About the rest:
There is an actual plot here, and it's... average. Nothing bad about it, nothing great about it, it's simply there. The heroines are also decent (story and characterwise), ther is nothig innovative about them (we all saw these tropes a million times). But still they might be cliche but it's a well made cliche. Art on the other hand stands out - it's pretty good.

In conclusion, it could have been a gem but ended up simply as "above average". If the whole game was like the first week it would be a 5/5 from me. Trully a shame...

I don't understand, why this game is rate so high. The game is insanely grindy, and you have to wait an insane amount of time to get some sex scene. The 80% of the time you will doing the exact same things. I got sick after playing for 6 hours. Also pretty vainilla.

First of all, I understand the hate for this game. A survival game that relies heavily on RNG to find materials, I can see the frustration this can give to some people, It's very grindy indeed. But for me that hate grinding, I always use cheat to make it less of a chore.

I really appreciate the new gameplay this game give, giving fresh air after weeks of drought on this site. The timing is impeccable and I just had to give it a 5*.

Pros:

• Unique gameplay
• Art is nice
• Pubes exist!!!!!
• Fappable

Cons:

• Grindy, can be covered with save edit
• Need more clothing variety, buuut they are stranded in an island afterall
• Could use more variety of H style

Tl;dr
I am a simple man.. Me see pubes + nice art + good gameplay = 5* !

I'd give it a slightly lower score than Yasaniki's "lonely wife 2" because some of the endings are weak or annoying. If you've played previous games of his, as expected the game is VERY story heavy. This is not a quick no effort scene collector. This is a game where you will play for several hours before getting the scenes and several more afterwards.

The writing is great, my stipulation being - don't use the translation currently in OP as of my review. Use the translation in this thread

https://f95zone.to/threads/rj01465067-deserted-island-company-trip-womens-survival-strategy.277708/

It is a superior translation, especially with important UI elements.

Each character has a different arc, with the same basic slots being filled but different levels of investment and different tasks to unlock. There is a metagame aspect where you can NG+ no matter which ending or game over you get. It's not so brutal that you can't get the best ending on your first try if you're smart about it, even if you don't play optimally - it took me a few in-game days to figure out the level up skill system and then a couple more to realize the heroines also leveled up.

It's not quite as long as the lonely wife games, but it's also not buggy like Yasaniki's elf game was when I tried it.

In the case of lonely wife 2, that game also had some weaker endings, but they were entirely based on your own preference regarding a single heroine - you had the weak ending and the good ending. If you wanted the good ending you could have it, the game was very clear about it all being your own choice. In this, since there are multiple heroines with formulaic ending options, having a couple of the options that are supposed to be good ends be weak or outright bad is disappointing.

I loved this dev's previous game and this one scratches the same itch. It's a bit grindy if you only want sex scenes, but the gameplay loop is pretty fun and as long as you keep exploring the map and make sure to read tool tips you will have a good time surviving and thriving with the heroines. Overall the game offers good stories with a fun gameplay loop. If there are other reviews criticizing the gameplay to be too RNG then it's probably a skill issue lmao

Gameplay loop is 5/5, art style is fine and writing is decent too. But I still have 2 issues I can't really get past with this game.

1) This game is less animated than a PowerPoint presentation.
2) The "durability" function on items really needs to reflect the crafting level of the people who made it.. If 4 people, each with max level (10) crafting still can't make a table that lasts for more than a few months..

And then a few wishlist, nice to have type things:
Add more depth to their sex life - like give them a few kinks or whatever.

Deserted Island Company Trip -Women's Survival Strategy- is a point and click game about you, the (male) protagonist, ending up stranded in a seemingly deserted isle with his 3 beautiful co-workers. Together, you must find a way to survive the perils of nature, which extends to randomly (and yet repeatedly) catching colds overnight, inconvenient typhoons drying up your throats over the day, and wolves just barging in every week for the rent.

First off, I will say that the game's pacing story-wise is nice: you can creep on the girls right away, but making them fall in love with you, and going for the harem ending where they all willingly have sex with you at the same time, takes some time, at least on a first playthrough: It leads to a believable progression for the relationship, at least in a game's way.
And better yet, it's possible for characters to progressively dislike each other, at least in theory.

In practice, the game's really easy at letting you seduce the girls, and even when you start the harem path and the game warns you the women will start disliking each other due to jealousy, you can just talk with them all together for two hours to basically offset any penalty.

Following up on that, the game's very repetitive: every area is basically a wood area, you're just harvesting materials or making an "exploration" progress bar rise without visual change, and you're hoping the RNG gods don't smite you with bug bites in the early game (which makes stress stressful to deal with) or colds at any point: healing status ailments happens either through a potion that can only be crafted with a character that has at least lv.6 crafting, or waiting 3 days...except, I've found that once a character has a cold, the others get it the next day, then they all keep getting it back over and over as soon as someone gets "cured automatically"...essentially, you want to get access to the alchemy table ASAP so that any disease you or the women get can be cured instantly if you have the materials, because so long someone's sick, not only do they perform way worse (and force you to bail on exploring twice as fast if you bring them), you can't progress some events with them anymore.

Really, the game's challenge lies mostly in those annoying random diseases, bad drops of necessary materials, and weather that obstructs your character from progressing relationships: case in point, no one wants to have sex in rain for some reason. I presume its because of the CGs all being daylight.

Not only that, but some relationship progression gates are a bit too narrow: to seduce the wife and convince her to have sex with you, you have to fondle her breasts a whopping 40 times, which takes 3-4 days of dedicated focus on her, and then you have to go from the base to the beach area with her alone, while neither of you are sick, oh and the day must be sunny too.

It's not that big of a deal to figure out if you're willing to look into the in-game hints, but figuring it out without that would take a lot of time, I feel. Much more than seducing the other 2 characters.

Some of you might be interested in the pregnancy mechanic...well, it's not really that much of a mechanic to begin with: once you've reached a certain stage with the girls, they 'consent' to getting pregnant from you, and if you manage to do so, they are basically removed from gameplay: you get to watch them have a pregnant belly in the homebase, but they don't travel with you anymore and the game automatically ends if you get all three pregnant, so it's more of a story bit, despite there being a random chance involved in knocking them up at least.

Them being removed from gameplay really sucks because there's a bonus dungeon that requires intense combat grinding to complete, and doing it even down one lady in your team feels absurd without NG+ bonuses.

Ah, right, the game has multiple endings, which is real nice: you can choose one girl for yourself or 3, or just end it all forever alone. Even leaving the isle or staying there is a choice. After whatever ending you got, you get to use all those achievement points you earned to carry over arbitrary stats to make the next playthrough less frustrating, but you know, it'd be nice if the game wasn't frustrating to begin with!

My review sounds a bit negative, but I actually really liked aspects of this game, like the pacing, the art, and the gameplay loop concept, and the way the story unfolds about the past of the protagonists wasn't that bad either, however, I cannot look past the fact the game really had to make players grind for hours to hide the fact that although it has lots of different outcomes depending on your actions, it has very little substance behind it. Remember that bonus dungeon I mentioned earlier? It's actually the only dungeon in the game! And it forces you to fight against monsters way tougher than the regular game throws at you...what do you gotta do to beat them?
Grind even more, of course!
And don't get the ladies pregnant, even though the game is basically all about doing exactly that.

In summary, I like the idea, and some of the execution, but there's just too many other flaws. It's gotta be a 3.5 from me (rounded up to 4 because I want to see a second attempt at the idea, but with more substance).

Very grindy. Gameplay is not fun enough to make up for it. Like it’s just resource management but there’s not a lot you can do with what you collect. Scenes aren’t great either. Not animated and contain a couple of images. Honestly was expecting more after reading the reviews.

Giving this a 3 because it’s just a very meh game. The writing is maybe slightly above average. If it wasn’t I would have given this a 2. I would only play if you really like the premise and are super into survival games.

Fucking hell dude... did the devs even play test this game without cheats? It's so damn grindy and the negative event spam and shit UI makes it even worse. Oh yea... the in game guide is required. Some main events are grindy and obscure af.

Grind = You need 100's of points to progress ROs and you only get 1-3 per action. You'll also have to repeatedly farm resources to get food and build/replace stuff because everything has limited durability.

Negative event spam = Get sick? No talking to girls or progressing their events for a few days. Get a plague? Good luck. Status effect events like those get spammed almost daily. No upgrades to prevent/reduce the ones I mentioned. You can make consumable items, but that requires RNG grinding for materials.

UI = click, click, scroll, click, select right choice, click to do one action. Rinse & repeat hundreds of times to farm points. Need to save/load because of negative event spam or shit RNG? Hope ya enjoy clicking yes on a confirmation window after selecting save/load every time.

In game guide required - I made the mistake of trying to play this game naturally without spoilers. Don't do that. There's super obscure shit like grope a girls tits 40+ times, then trigger an event at specific place/time when you don't have one of the status effects mentioned above.

Story and girls are decent, but they're nowhere near good enough to compensate for all the BS.

One of the best games I've ever played. The heroines are so beatiful, nice story and there is survival mechanic which is also good. At the beginning the game is grindy if you play realistic mode but later it becomes easier because in the next playthrough you can unlock some upgrades with achivements points and overall you are familiar how game works. If you like survival, big breasts, pregnancy, pubic hair, harem, virgin and netori than this game is for you. Overall for me 5 star game.

The game is very engaging and interesting. It might be hard at first. Since the game is a RNG grind but once you understand the basics it's quite the fun game imo. It can easily suck you in for a few hours.

Sadly I can't make is 5 star as there is some things. I think that spoils the game. First like the lack of options when doing H-stuff at girls. Second the lack of mid game content. And lastly the repetitiveness might be way too much.

Overall I like it even with it flaws. Kinda biased as I also love this dev's other works
