This is a weird game to review, because it wears its strengths and weaknesses so blatantly on its sleeves.
1- Ero Content:
Both a highlight and a weakness of this title. For a start, some of these scenes absolutely slap, with fantastic sounds, scenarios, and art. I appreciate how almost every scene tries to dip its toe into something unique, in terms of fetishes and scenarios, without ever getting too weird. But then… other scenes are complete dogshit, where the only thing visible is a man's ass or back. Bruh.
One thing I enjoyed about this game is the ability to rewatch scenes in the gallery from a different perspective. While the main game is purely from the protagonist's perspective, there's actually a ton of new art if you rewatch from the female perspective. Unfortunately, having this tucked away in the gallery is a strange and unimmersive choice. I would have preferred an alternative method to deliver this content, such as an omniscient POV.
The biggest issue with the ero content is its pacing. Specifically, this is an 'NTR' game, which is like developing an ero game on hard mode. If you don't pace the corruption and create believable motivations for the characters involved, it'll fall flat. The corruption of "Mie", the protagonist's girlfriend, is far too fast. Essentially, it can be as fast as this:
Grope Event → Hidden Blowjob → Wild Sex All Day
Doesn't that seem a little… fast to you? Well, it can get worse if you don't buy antibiotics before a certain story moment:
Absolutely nothing → Wild Sex All Day
Now I generally don't mind the concept of a FemMC trading sex to save their partner's life. I think it's a very strong premise for her 'first time' with the rival partner, and the scenes themselves are great, but… it just comes out of nowhere, man. And once she's corrupted to this point, you'll probably be bombarded with wild sex events all day, like your wife has gone from showing no doubts or corruption to suddenly becoming a nymphomaniac in 2-3 days straight.
Of course, if you buy the antibiotics and spend lots of time with her, you may never get NTR'd at all. In fact, it's as comically easy to keep her faithful as it is comically easy for her to be corrupted. The game really struggles to justify this, merely leaving it to a 'Fall' value that rises or falls depending on how much time you spend with her, meaning she can technically spontaneously become corrupt at any point of the story if you allow it to slip below certain thresholds. I would have much preferred some stronger narrative reasons and motives behind this. A zombie apocalypse is actually an ideal scenario to explore this too, which is why the story and character writing feel so wasted on this concept. The fear and loneliness of the apocalypse could be combined with an emotionally unavailable husband who's solely focused on survival and leadership. If Mie was able to connect with another survivor who listened and offered solace, there really could have been something there. There are many other approaches too, such as cheating for survival, or the protagonist genuinely being weak and unable to support the wife at such a crucial time. But no, the game really makes no effort to develop or show the relationship between any characters, except literal sex.
2 - Gameplay:
Unsurprisingly enough, this is yet another RPGMaker game where every single 'RPGMaker' aspect holds it back. No effort has been put into the gameplay, maps, or exploration to make things interesting; it is purely a minimum-effort vehicle to deliver the erotic content but ends up being nothing but a hindrance.
The need to constantly eat every single day is absurdly annoying. I have no idea how the developer didn't get sick of this during testing and scrap it entirely. I highly recommend playing this game with a cheat tool so you can lock your hunger to 100.
I'd also like to note that the game can be buggy. If you visit the gallery, variables can mess up, causing NPCs and events to appear in strange places. Also, I literally wasn't able to view the good ending and was instead redirected to a softlock endless loop of one of the bad endings. Weird.
3 - Story and World:
I swear, I just beat this game, but… I don't remember anything? The game fails to effectively utilize its zombie setting and does not include any unique hooks or memorable moments. Essentially it's just a series of zombie tropes mashed in with hentai tropes. You can bet one of the late-game areas is a shifty slum, and as if it were a trope itself, the game has barely any new content by then, because the dev probably burnt themselves out.
The game's world and story are basically just an excuse to create ero scenarios. This isn't always necessarily a bad thing, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the ero content, but it does leave the overall experience somewhat lacking. You essentially could just watch all the scenes from the gallery in this game, and you wouldn't be missing anything.
Conclusion:
In the end, the game stumbles through its story, mechanics, and pacing, yet somehow delivers just enough standout erotic content. That’s why, despite its many shortcomings, I landed on a 3/5: it’s not stellar, but it is worth trying, and that counts for something in a genre full of forgettable clones.
