This game is a prime example of sub-par writing ruining what could have been a great game. I like the post-apocalyptic setting. The graphics are nice, but I can't really believe several of the characters are acting in a way that real humans may act in such a situation. I am going to make a list of grievances.
1) Un-crunched file size is a staggering 2.3 GB. One thinks that this means "a lot of content", but in reality, it is just "very large pictures". This is a letdown. Not a whole lot of content there. Only 287 total images in the game. That is about 8 Megabytes per image. That is over 4 times the memory size of a regular good quality high rez photo. Very high rez for no good reason.

To put just how much of a waste an 8MB image is I have included this high rez photo. This high rez actual photograph is only 1.4 MB. It's 1998 x 3000 pixels. The average photo in this game should not be over 5 times bigger than this image file size. No, just no...
2) Many of the choices are seemingly inconsequential. They are Choices that go "A then B" or "B then A". You do both A & B and you only pick the order of seeing them and it makes no difference at all. Other choices are like "A = Object to B, but then do B anyways."
3) Beatrix appears to me to be the eldest female in the home. Yet she is one of the daughters. That is the model that should have been used for the mom, but I can forgive this one if the writing is good.
4) There is a 3,3,3 violation. A human can last 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, or 3 minutes without air. The main character goes 4 days without water or food unconscious then just comes out of it as if he were napping for 20 minutes.
5) Beatrix is not a believable character. Atomic bombs are going off... let's paddle the pink canoe instead of being ready to rush to the shelter or bunker down.
6) The main character was rambling to himself about how much he wants to survive in a post-apocalyptic situation like 15 minutes before he is actually in one. It's a poor attempt of foreshadowing. Way to spot on.
7) Rapist guy / Boss smiles happily when he is punched in the face as if his face got hit by a big old titty down at the strip club.
8) In spite of the massive image size a lot of the times photos are eronious. Example 1: The bowl that drops has a spoon in it that is apparently glued inside the bowl and no food was spilled on the floor at all. Example 2: Dude gets injected with a needle, no needle shown... Example 3: Dude gets shot no blood or anything shown... Example 4: Ceiling comes crashing down, but the house don't look that wrecked... Dude ends under upside down furniture not rubble. I'm sure there are several others like Example 5: Atomic bombs go off we see no mushroom clouds...
9) Civilization would not collapse so fast in 4 days. I'm sure there may be some crazies out there, but 4 days in is way too quick for things to go downhill so fast. People are acting like it's 4 months in not 4 days in. I mean at least a month... There is a progression there. The story would make more sense if he got trapped in the house for like three of four weeks. Twisted his ankle... Baraked things up... Ran out of food... Gotta go out. Was the guy in a coma 4 days or what? How can he even be walking around with no food and water in four days?
10) Only 1 sex scene... Not even a full sex scene guy don't even cum.
The game does have some nice features though. Get a nice shot of mums and the sisters asses right in the opening. Those are gone though. Aint gonna see any of them for a long long time if this game continues. Because the game is called "Lost Family". They are lost... If they found the game is over or soon there after.
