Playing on v0.23.0
When I first went into this game, I was not expecting to become as invested into it as I have. I thought to myself, "Oh boy, another post-apocalyptic story where some dude with the charisma of a walrus somehow has things go his way and forms a harem of underage girls, whooooooo." But man, color me impressed and glad that I was extremely wrong.
I'll freely admit, this game's premise is nothing new. Zombie virus infects world, society as we know it crumbles, characters must learn to change and survive, yada yada, you've heard that song and dance before. Where this game shines and what hooked me in the first place is said characters. Jack/MC/whatever you name him is very much his own person, and I liken him to Geralt in that the player can influence where some of his decisions go, but they can't affect/change his core character. What you can do is affect your relationships to other people though said choices, and these decisions actually have a new game+ feature of sorts, where unlocking a characters route actually unlocks bonus content that you can activate on a new playthough from then on. This is a really good idea, as it not only improves repeated playthroughs, but gives even more variety to spice them up. Fair warning, you can miss characters routes in this game. I found that it made the story more engaging, so I reccommend that you play without worrying too much about girls stats and whether they're high or not. Just make what decisions you think are right and stick with them, as the story feels much more interesting that way. There's always next time!
Besides the aforementioned variation, this game just has a lot of content. At first I thought that since the game was labeled as being in v.23 that it'd only be a fifth of the way finished, going by the standard 0.0 to 1.0 formula. But that was a ruse, as the number actually symbolizes the number of chapters that the game has, and a chapter can take you anywhere from 1-2 hours to finish,. Your mileage may vary, but that's about how long I found it took me to finish them.
Overall, I really, really recommend this game to anyone interested in harem shenanigans ( if you so choose), pseudo-incest ( as Carol is Jack/MC's adopted daughter) and well-written dialogue and characters/scenarios. I had hours and hours of good times with this game, and I hope you do too. My thanks to ILS Productions for giving us this game, and I really recommend going to their criminally underfunded Patreon, and if you enjoy this game in the slightest, showing your support to them.
