This is pretty nice. I like the way the MC and Sam have a certain back and forth. Their interactions are just really fun.
A bit short at this point, but definitely good content so far.

Played this from scratch through cp 4 pt1. Overall if I were to rate this it would be a 2 or 3. This only because of the graphic and animation quality. I find that the story line is very linear and not that well written. It is a VN but more of an attempt to be a money grab. I find it insulting that all the females have been turned into sluts or whores. There is nothing that is remotely believable. This is nothing but a porn game. Porn videos take much less time to watch than this game is to play. So I see no reason for the high overall rating it has received and no reason to continue playing. As I said the graphics and animation do have some redeeming value though. The dev has very good handle on rendering but no real ability to write. The H scenes are entirely too long. GL to the dev going forward.

:ROFLMAO: Women have sexual drive and needs though, so what do you think will happen if there is only one male around you can trust in a very high stress situation? Contrary to some ideas women are not cold frigid beings normally while immediately being sluts if they do enjoy some sex. ;) Still you have the right to your opinion, I also prefer story games and that is actually what interests me in this game and the interactions between characters and not the quality of the renders. So you see tastes differ. :p

As for the money grab, you are aware I hope that this dev does not accept new patrons for months already and has no subscribestar?

Just noticed the thread was actually released in August 2018 and not 2019. Welp, I assume the wait for the next update will be quite long.

So the game has a birthday, what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? The last update was released October 6, so less than 2 months ago, and regular updates have occurred along the way. There are about 3 months between updates (4 versions, 12 months), on average, so right on time as per history.

I don't understand what you are trying to say, or are you just trolling?

Damn, I want whatever it is that you're smoking to be able to say half of the things you said. I don't understand your complaint about it being a porn game when you're literally on a website dedicated to porn games mate. I get it, there are visual novels out there with high quality stories, but that is not the standard for most of the games presented on this website (it's not a rule and it shouldn't be). The developer of this game is not making this to "grab money" because they are developing it without a patreon. Ink has cut off patreon supporting and payments awhile ago, so all of the updates so far has been free. I think the relationships between the characters are complex and the situation that they're in is intriguing. I mean after all, this is set in a fictional world, if you want realism in your visual novels, I'm afraid this isn't the game for you.

As someone who has been writing stories most of their life, I entirely agree: this is well written story with intriguing and complex characters / relationships, and this is one of the very few games I actually look forward to playing; this is entirely down to the writing of the characters, and their psychological give / take struggle is fascinating.

I have nothing but respect for the author of this game.

I feel like this really comes down to the main character being a bit of a pussy and a gigantic pervert from the word Go, but it doesn't really interest me. HS characters on Stonemason envs, the women aren't depicted realistically. I dunno, this rubs me all the wrong way. Maybe it's the blatant lack of actual romance.

Fair points on the pussy point, as the MC isn't an alpha male when we join them. However I just don't get the gigantic pervert thing at all.
I mean, he is, but aren't also a lot of MCs in adult games (in one way or another)?

I'm not singling you out, as it has been said by others, but it seems to have thrown a spanner into people's thinking that the MC is already at a stage you'd likely arrive at anyway.
Here, you've done all of the stuff that a lot of games normally use as build-up (spying, creeping, using the girl's possessions to masturbate) and it's the repercussions that are the real jumping-off point for this story.

Okay, I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of the MC's attitude towards women. He is a giant perv, but to be fair he didn't have even close to a normal puberty/teen years with a zombie apocalypse going on. I also have to wonder...if the zombies were created by a virus, then is it doing anything to the living, like messing with their sex drive. Viruses mutate...that's why we don't have a cure for the "common cold" or flu. There are so many strains of cold and flu that there won't be a cure anytime soon, and if they do find a cure it probably wouldn't work on a mutated strain. So maybe one strain directly infects and creates zombies, and a mutated form heightens the sex drive. Probably not, but it's a convenient way to rationalize the behaviours.

Just a thought.

So question. Is the sister actually gay or was that a ploy to get her mom to believe her? I wanted to romance her. Already the other option plays for the other team already too.

Interesting...
I also did think that maybe the undead's animal sex drive would remain intact, but that made it a different experience.

As for the MC's behaviour. He's young, dumb and full of rude sexy thoughts for the two beauties he's spent years surviving with. There may have been other girls that he's lusted after, but none so near and yet so far.
Does he have any other interests, to occupy his brain and hands? Do porn mags even exist then? It seems that apart from surviving, his focus is very much on sexy sex times.

Decent game, the dialogue was surprisingly good.

Does the dev not have a patreon page or some place where he posts regular updates or upcoming releases?

"The dev" or as we know him, inkalicious, posted several messages just before you and he gives updates about the progress of his work here, in this thread. If you're lucky, he may actually answer to your questions if they are about something that hasn't been answered recently already.
But do not be lazy and try to search and read a bit yourself. Updates were discussed just on the previous page.

So he only posts updates in this thread? Alright then.
