Ren'Py - Completed - S.H.E.L.T.E.R. - An Apocalyptic Tale [v1.0] [Winterlook]

I had a lot of hope for this game. It sets up an interesting premise, but doesn't follow through with some the choices. Some char are bare bones. Worst of all, midway through it rushes towards an ending and ends up feeling a bit disappointing.


The Good

+ Two ways to play
You can romance or you can be a creep and mindcontrol all the girls. It gives you very different scenes. You can take your 'family' and do one choice, then do something different to the 'outsiders'.

+ The main trio have a lot of content
I won't say they get very fleshed out, because once they get jobs, they are just on autopilot but they have a lot of scenes.

+ Decent sandbox
It doesn't start right away, but once you can travel , you can explore the small world.


The Bad

- Oscar's development, Perry's development, etc.
There are a number of char that you personally can wish bad things on, and exile, or whatever. None of these choices comes to bite the player in the ass, or even see them appear again. What if you make Perry's crew work for the town, but later during the final battle he adds his team against you? Nope these char are never heard from again. That's a shame.

- Rushed ending
Just when you get a car and its looking like you can do some decent exploring, the game is moving towards the endgame. Its a bit soon.

-Odd plotpoints
There's some odd things that probably should be talked about. Like that only Oscar knew how to clean the suits, or the deal with John, which makes no sense.

-Game mechanics abandoned
So at first it seems like you have a few items to ration, food and radiation defense, yet they are only stumbling blocks in the very early game. Soon you can get more than enough. Another shame.


The Ugly
This game could have been a lot better if it wasn't in such a rush.

S.H.E.L.T.E.R. is OK, its got the typical Winterlook kinks, and if you play it you can enjoy the great art. But its held back by its own mediocrity.

Another great game.
The story is pretty good with some decent looking characters and nice renders. The game could have had more stuff to do and places to go but overall it was pretty fun and worth playing, game is not that long and the sex scenes are overall good. Only issue was it needed more places to visit and things to do and collect.

Story. 7.5/10
Characters. 8.5/10
Sex. 8/10
Renders/art. 8.5/10

Art: 5/5
Writing: 5/5
Sex escenes: 5/5
Fetish: peersonally i like pregnant and i love this sistem, it could be better but am not doing it so 10/5
Great variety of girls and all have something to look, u have the tomboy 10/10, the shygirl 10/10, the milf 9/10, and then all from the town the sherrif its pretty lovely 10/10
if you ask me you should tried at least 1 time and give between 1 n 6 hours that is were is all the juice
edit: this was my 2 time playing this masterpiece

Again, one of those games that doesn't value a player's time. You do a lot of unnecessary fetch quests, but you get very few rewards in return. All the female characters in the game are just hollow shells for you to have fuck, but you still have to spend hours convincing them. The story is very clichéd and handled in a rather superficial way. The characters are all very boring. I didn't like the drawings very much either, and the lack of animation made the game worse. The interface and text fonts also look terrible. The music in the game is very bad and has nothing to do with the concept. The game is a complete waste of time, and if you install and play adult mods in Fallout New Vegas, you'll have a lot more fun than this nonsense. You won't have to put up with grinding gameplay, bland story and so much filler dialogue.

Credit where credit is due


Enjoyable Fallout themed Dating Sim with CYOA elements & a smattering of grind/combat. Right up my alley.

Played the demo. It rocked. Bought the game on Steam at full price.

Nice art style, well drawn sex scenes & the game has Mind Break/Corruption or Romance/Good Guy options. Checks the Android, MILF, Tomboy, Monster Girl & Futa boxes quite nicely.

I do wish that there more Combat options & better ways to grind for resources than the Bartending minigame. That said, the sex is grand & the RPG elements are well worth your time & money.

I'd love to see a sequel that explores the next generation of survivors & the surrounding lands.

Bought this on Steam last year. Fun game with some unexpected kinks popping up (wasn't a member here yet so no list of tags on Steam like here). There are no animated sex scenes so if that is a deal breaker than be aware. Have played both romance and corruption route to unlock the gallery. The game is complete from the playthroughs I have done. No "TBC" or "not in this build" messages. Depending on how much of a hardass you play the MC as you either end up as Negan or a pervier Rick Grimes (no zombies in the game but a good analogy).

This is a well realized post-apocalypse world where the MC has two branching paths: (i) corruption and mind control, or (ii) true love. Either way, the player will navigate a VN adult game with plenty of great art and an emphasis on knocking up all the women in the game.

This game does have some drag/grind with resource collection that could have been tighter, but otherwise it's a smooth gameplay experience with little to no bugs. There is a variety of quality in the art, but thankfully the range is from "excellent" to "good" so no complaints on my end. I would recommend for anyone who enjoys adult VNs.

Was amazing in both story and gameplay, but it feels like it just ends a bit short with it being right after you beat the bandits wish there was a bit more to do after though I understand why they didn't do that because then there would be no set end for the story.

The only reason this is not five star is it felt like the story had more to give. It is a really good game must play. But I wish they had done another story arch.

They could also take this game and make it a bases for a much bigger game.

Really liked this one played it quite a lot while it was in development, pity that it ends so abruptly, it feels like the developer just got tired of it and wanted to end the story.

The story telling is solid
I mostly like the art, some scenes dont look that good.
I like the multiple choice aspects.
I like the characters and their designs.
I like the setting,

The only thing I can really criticise is the abrupt ending, felt like the scenario had way more potentail, the other game of the developer doesnt really interest me.

My Rating: 8/10

Story: ★★★☆☆
Dialogue: ★★★★☆
How well it plays: ★★★★★
Art style: ★★★★★
Sex scenes: ★★★★★
Quantity of girls: ★★★★☆
Replayability: ★★★☆☆

A very nice solid game.
It isn't something mind blowing, but I really enjoyed it.

The ending is rushed, I'm assuming the developers grew bored of working on this project?
I'm not sure, but either way, the overall game wasn't bad. It would of been nice to see what it could have been if not rushed, it's a shame, but it is what it is.

It has a small yet pleasurable story, and you can pretty much F who you want, when you want.
I love it when games give you the choice to select between 'Corruption' or 'Love' with each character, and for that reason alone it's a win-win.

The game is good. But it could be rated just as average too (I fell sad saying this). I really liked the game. The renders are awesome, the variety of spots to explore, the way that you could choose how you would act about the things that was happening ( a path they definitely should invest into) and the game in general. The sad part of it is the story. Many parts of it feel incompleted. When the game starts introducing raiders and conflict, that should generate like so much content, but is actually end game. It feels like the potential of this game was to be a excellent game, but actually came out as a mid tier/ just a good game.

Post-apocalyptic game where we live in an underground shelter. Sounds familiar?

For a sandbox style game, S.H.E.L.T.E.R. is not that big (only takes around 10 hours to finish), doesn't have any grind, doesn't force you to repeat the same events over and over, and doesen't force you to wait hours before getting into any steamy content. For main girls, i would say this game have just enough amount of buildup. Especially with ours family members, we know them for a long time so we dont need much time to establish relationship with them. Some other girls, from outside the shelter felt rather too quick. Many girls have two routes, romance and corruption with different scenes so you won't see everything in one playthrough. Plot in the game is rather simple but it works. We have to repopulate the world. This makes sense in this setting so we actually have a valid reason to get laid with every lady we see, including our mother and sisters. After leaving our underground vault, we can take control of nearby settlement, built different buildings like garage or greenhouse and defend it against bandit raids. The game ends rather abruptly when we deal with bandit leader.

Game features 2D pictures and no animations. It's a nice change from the usual DAZ renders. The art style is rather nice, it looks high quality but lack of any animations is disappointing. Girls and sex scenes looks nice, but since most of the time they only have one camera angle and two or three different pictures, they could be better. Music is solid.

Overall S.H.E.L.T.E.R. is a solid example of sandbox game done right. This game doesn't waste your time. It could be better and bigger, but what we have here is nonetheless quite a positive experience.

Probably one of the best Porn Games Ever to be quite honest.
Good enough story, different paths to be taken, etc. Pretty good.
Oh and it has good pregnancy CG which is nice. I need to type 200 thingies so uhhh....

Gameplay: 4/5, shallow but enjoyable the entire time, not really the primary focus anyway.

Story: 3/5, at times I was genuinely absorbed into the story, otherwise it ends too abrubtly, has some parts that read weird but overall a decent story.

Art: 4/5, inconsistent as hell, it will seem as if 3 different people were working on the CGs at some points and it can be so jarring. When it's good though, it's fantastic.

Overall: 4/5, Could've used some more fleshing out in the Corruption route and maybe more CGs for the less used characters but at least the dev finished the game and gave it a decent ending. Solid work, excited to see more.

Shelter has decent art and a solid concept, but the biggest issue with the game is that it just got pretty much abandoned in the finale.
The romance and writing in general is fine, but I can't give this game higher than average as the end of the game feels thrown together because the devs probably either didn't know how to tie it all together nicely or just got bored and threw the end together in a hurry.
Its disappointing but the first half is pretty decent, just needed a proper end

Very good, the art was better than I thought it would be from the screenshots with plenty of girls to have fun with. i recommend the MOD too free extra scenes that are just as high of quality as the original,

10/10 game. Only rating 4 stars because of the half-assed ending. This game had potential but it was abandoned early, but other than that, great game. The art is an absolute 10/10. The pregnancy scenes are also 10/10. The plot is easy and linear to follow. I do wish the settlement wasn't so welcoming to the MC since it feels that the MC had it too easy, but it's fine. Would recommend everyone to play this game.

This game was great! I normally don't go for 2d, but this was truly fun. The characters are impressively designed, displaying meticulous attention to detail. The outcomes and choices are complex, keeping me engrossed in the storyline. The mini-quests are enjoyable, although the daily routine can feel repetitive at times. However, it doesn't diminish the overall entertainment value. Looking forward to exploring more from the talented developers!

Played like 6-8 times through it and I came so many times...
Has corruption and romance route for almost all girls ( I just don't remember for sure if all of them has )
Big tits and also there is one futa possibility if you like those.
