VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Hot Sand of Antarctica [v0.09] [Grinvald]

I felt compelled for once to write a review. This game has a nice balance of story and erotic scenes, the story is actually entertaining and I did not skip anything simple for the erotic spots.
So often do I stumble upon an interesting game only to find the story and characters get tiresome and I simply skip to the erotic spots and move on, however I was simply hooked on this the entire time.
My one complaint is the erotic scenes have a feeling on jumping around with a lack of transition or dialogue to go along what is happening for example one image is doggy, the next missionary and the next cumshot... it all happened within 3 images and feels lackluster.

Good game with a lot of potential. Fans of post-apocalyptic themes will most likely enjoy the game as it's got decently fleshed out world building and environment. Good renders with a good plot to follow alongside it. The game is still in the early stages but has a decent amount of content already. Project was derailed for a bit but dev seems to be back on track with it's development and looking at the historical release schedule updates should appear pretty often. Overall a good game and excited to see what's to come of it.

Wonderful game. A very interesting plot and at the same time different from most productions. It is possible that in 20-30 years Antarctica will be the last oasis of humanity. Who likes post-apocalyptic climates will like this game. A big plus for the ability to choose the level of bloodiness of the scenes. Girls are beautiful and it's impossible not to love them. A little more animation would be useful, but the quality of production is still high.

Finally a good game. I'm getting a taste for it, so far... The scenario offers many possibilities, under an apocalyptic air. the characters are endearing, so for the moment everything is there to become a must on the platform.

I'm liking it a lot!
The scenario is one of many possibilities if "mankind" keeps neglecting nature.
Good renders, pretty ladies... whats more to wish for...
My hope is it gets even better! Good job, Grinvald!

Story - 3/10 I can appreciate the attempt to create something interesting, mad max world with incest. The story telling itself is not interesting, i think mostly because the whole game looks and feels so cheap it is ridiculous.

Renders - 4/10 Although most of the models look ok, there is nothing about them that really draws you in and makes you want more.

Animations - 2/10 Typical 2 second sex scenes, pop it in and 2 renders later you are done, cheap and boring.

Grammar - 5/10 Proof read your writing.

Overall not interesting, the whole story/game is so devoid of anything that gets you to want more. It is quick paced and lacks depth, waste of time downloading. Obvious interest was just making something to draw in cash, not to make a memorable story.

I love everything about this game, the gorgeous girls, the plot, the world. While the world renders are pretty low quality, it is sufficient and the girls renders are just beautiful. Can't wait for the game to develop. I support the dev on Patreon to reward for such a good work. Please update more often?

Once again, here I am leaving a review. Quite rare for me. The short of it? I loved playing this VN.
Is it 5 stars? Not quite, but its closer to 5 than 4. So its 5 for this review. I played the latest update 0.06 from start to finish this morning.
I couldn't stop playing, was almost late for work because of it.
Wives are excellent, daughters are amazing. Non familia LIs are great. I really liked the twist that's happening with the story. So far its been a thoroughly enjoyable adventure.
The lighting was rough in the early renders, but improves quickly. The renders are above good overall, with the characters (even the MC) being excellent. The music is very well picked for each scene.
Lewd scenes are well done, the one just before the end of 0.06 is amazing.
English is clearly not the dev's first language, but the translation is perfectly serviceable. There was never a line that didn't make sense.
Going to support the dev when I can afford to. Would love this to be on Steam.
Now I need to end this review, I'm off to drink some more JD and play this again with different choices.

I don't often leave reviews, and by often I mean, at all. I felt this one deserved at least a quick mention.

Others have stated this already but I figured I should still say it, this VN is a real hidden gem. It's not super well-known or popular that I can see, but it certainly deserves to be.

The story is good, the models are very attractive and easy on the eyes. The lewd scenes are quite good, easily some of the better quality scenes out there.

I can only imagine the kind of quality and quantity of content in each new patch if the dev had more support/a bigger team.

Verdict: For being real early in development, HSoA gets 5 butchered bandits... out of 5.

Other than the fact that having fun time on the sand gave me PTSD, this game is pretty solid, I'm glad it still getting updated. The writing is still quite stiff. Could be because of the translation. I also don't like the branching narrative but it doesn't impact much so it's ok I guess. Still, you will enjoy this game

The overall setting is very cohesive and the lewd scenes are wonderfully incorporated into the dystopian theme.
The animations can't quite keep up with the other games, but the storytelling and overall gameplay is something I'll keep an eye on.
Therefore, I don't give any deductions and stick with 5/5.
There is no skimping on blood either and cool fight scenes are shown.
I'm already on Patreon for a few projects and will probably subscribe here as well.

Game has good and original story. It also has quality sex scenes. with animations. To my taste the developer could have left out stepdaughter thing. You can choose not to follow that path but then you will be missing some sex scenes.

While not overly complicated, this game has the basics right. The story is interesting, women are hot and the protagonist is clever and resourceful in dealing with the problems.

Overall this is a pretty enjoyable experience for a basic vn.

5 Stars....really?

Hell yeah, now settle down before I stake you out in the desert.

So listen up, boot!

If you are a Chad or even posses an ounce of Chadliness, then you should love this type of VN and here's why...

So imagine you are a muscular walking slab of beef, living in a Mad Max style world where the strong survive and the weak become roadkill, you revel in your strength and uber Chad aura because when everything is going to shit around you, only YOU can protect your harem of hot bitches...maybe add a few along the way as you battle to find a place to carve out as your own.

These priceless jewels of femininity will keep the heavy load in your balls light, meaning one less problem right? and if that doesn't make your pecker rise to full salute, well among your nubile desert hotties are a pair of young twin sisters that want their adopted guardian to teach them the way of the open petal...yes, you will need to deflower them my good Chadmeister.

It's harsh out there man. Savages....Zombie Ass Dogs...Bandits...Sand in your butthole...

I have full faith that you can do this!

Travel the Hot Sands of Antarctica (that fuckin name...yeesh) and Kill! Make bitches yours! look for shelter, fuel and food....all while wondering why the dev gave such a great game, such a crap name...

I'm a Chad and I fully recommend this game! Thumbs and Cock up!

It's a great story, starting in what I thought was a dystopian harem world , the theme is to find more women to cultivate their own harem .
In the last two updates(0.5 and 0.6) I've noticed that the author has begun to add depth to the story , developing a zigzagging apocalyptic survival storyline .
The quality of the whole picture is very high , and the authors have done a good job of inheriting the looks of mothers and daughters, who look alike but can clearly distinguish ages .
This is arguably one of the best new works of 2022 .

Alright, i have to clear up some misconceptions about the game that come from a previous reviewer.

1. There is no sharing, cucking or cheating in this game. Your wives are your wives and no one's else

1.5 You can let your wives "share" each other. But that is optional.

2. MC has no intention to give his daughters to Mongol (at the very least if you choose so).
The conversion the reviewer talks about is more applicable to the others under Mongols rule, not the MC. He is the right hand man of the big boss which gives him much more leeway than others. The conversion talk about how things should be "by law" but the reality is quite different from "hypotheticals".

Reviewing 0.05

Intriguing story, appealing female characters that are well enough written for harem characters and good looking too. Good density of sex and plot time. The fetishes are right up my alley - dev knows how to make incest appealing.

Quality renders and good looking girls! Body textures aren't of the highest standard, but absolutely good enough for me in the overall look of the game.

And an extra 5th star for the Dev making MC's dick look delicious, especially while getting blown. Make notes other devs, dicks gotta shine when they're sucked.

My only complaint so far is MC being completely emotionless. Not objectively a bad thing (because it makes it kinda easier to project yourself into him), but it stands out with all other male and female characters showing emotions.

Can't wait to see where this goes!

Wow! That was actually excellent entertainment, even without the sex scenes (which are kind of average). But the music and plot and renders create this dynamite atmosphere. The programmer knows how to weave dialogue and scene into a palpable reality you rarely, if ever, see in adult games. The girls are delicious, and that sister, Milani, cute as hell. I'm stoked to see this continue. I'm tempted to play it again, right now, even though I know exactly how it will go.

I like dystopian-settings game combined with some adventures, and this game hits right on the spot ! It also has an element of horror that is, also nice. Renders are quite good and the story is awesome

keep it up . This story is getting better with every upgrade . Having a good amount of adventure combined with lewd actions , hot babes to seduce ...... The harem tag adds an exciting feature to a VN. But it can be an obvious cliche or surprisingly fascinating . Definitely a challenge . Good luck in making a difference . Think harem
