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

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.

Positives: gorgeous art, minimal dialogue to get to the good stuff. If you're into impregnation this game will be right up your alley. Story is apt for that.

Negatives: characters lack depth and are a bit one-note - quite boring to put it bluntly. The personalties could be more distinguishable from each other. Game can be grindy at times too in terms of resources.

Overall: pleasing to the eye, would like it more if they were animated but the art is top notch regardless. The game could use a bit more nuance in terms of overall story writing and character personalities, but it's worth a playthrough.

Good game with spicy pictures of a variety of girls. You get basically two routes, that being vanilla and corruption. Unfortunately lacks animated scenes, but it's not a total deal breaker. The girls' designs, in my opinion, hold up the scenes despite the lack of visual movement.

Love how the characters all have their different personalities + the various options stem from MC decision, from tentacles to arach woman. Also like how the romance routes have much more pics than the MB route, and the plot is linear enough my OCD doesn't kill me when I try to collect the whole gallery.

Mom sits in front of son, shows him tits so he can jerk off because she's a doctor and wants to figure out whether his semen are still able to reproduce after the apocalypse.

The text: "She's squeezing her tits against each other and making a little show for you"

The picture: *didn't change*

Dude, you've got ONE job. Your game is a VN with nothing but pictures and text. Don't tell these things in a text box, SHOW them. Don't be lazy. The visuals are like 80% of the game.

Also having the father around all the time sucks. He's like an old creep with voyer fetish. Game would be much better if you were alone with the ladies.


Other than that the game is really cool! Refreshing gameplay with just the right amount of text and great art.

Excelent game with decent visuals, moderate to low grinding, a lot of sexy women (and other.. things . It has nice visuals with excelent writing and hot sex scenes descriptions. While life in a shelter after an apocalypse is not new, impregnating the women around you is. You get to see a sex scene with every woman you manage to seduce buth - in normal and in pregnant state. The most unique I found is having sex with a pregnant futa (pregnant shemale). Another thing I like about it is the Fallout vibe it has.

One of the best art styles out there, highly recommended just based on that.

However it's also an excellent example of several fetishes, from free use to blackmail to cuckolding. Recommend the i patch or extended walkthrough+patch for the best experience.

Review for v1.0

Rating this by fuckfest standards, I think it's alright I guess? But if I was looking at this from my usual point of view this rating would be lower. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for any semblance of a more thought out game.

There's very minimal plot and effort before you're fucking your entire family. Do like 2 tasks for each of them and you're in. Pretty much every character is like this. I find it pretty boring, so I ended up skipping a lot of the dialogue because I didn't see much of a point in it after that.

I liked the idea of becoming the town mayor, but very little was actually done with it. It gives you access to some more scenes, but otherwise you just have to grind out food cans to build a couple things. I think a lot could have been done to make it more interesting, but this isn't that kind of game I guess. I cheated the cans in because that grind was not enjoyable.

The art ranged from good to alright, and again the sex scene dialogue was nothing to write home about. Some of the scenarios were hot though, and bonus points for having a mutant spider girl. There becomes a large focus on pregnancy which is not a huge fetish for me so I was rather neutral on it.

Honestly the only real draw to this game is the art I think, for me anyway. If you want to play something where you put in minimal effort to see all the scenes, this game would fit. I get the appeal of wanting just a bit of story and setup for sex scenes without needing a whole ass slow burn, but that does not appeal to me most of the time.

S.H.E.L.T.E.R. - An Apocalyptic Tale [v1.0] [Winterlook]
After seeing the high evaluation and Changelog (I don't like visual novel games without actual gameplay, so I check the images and the Changelog) I decided to download this game.
Well, I don't understand how it can have such a high evaluation.
Bad characters. The characters seem to have their own characterization at the beginning, but in a few minutes the characters will all become the same, with a characterization of 0.
Visually mediocre scenes, repetitive gameplay and that does not bring satisfaction to unlock the scenes.
Mediocre history, at least they have given a motivation to the whole game, nothing original or well written, but at least a minimum of worldbuilding is there.
Personally I don't recommend the game.

Game had good story and good cgs, the characters were enjoyable to watch grow in both lust and belly size when dealing with the male main character. The town was not a particularly well made section in my opinion and the end seemed sudden.

A great game with delicious art and options for romancing or corrupting your harem-to-be. The music is nice, the world and characters are interesting enough, but getting to breed each and every single one of them is the highlight.

Hot situations, collecting the harem and progressing through the world are all enjoyable. The game has between one evening and two days of content, a bit more with any replays.

The con is that that the dialogue and descriptions could be more interesting, I found myself skipping most of them, as well as skipping the gameplay loop of having to farm the food cans initially.

All in all, solid enjoyable game! Can't wait to see what the creator makes next.

Character development
I like that the game offer the opportunity of romance and corruption. For corruption a magic pill is already a
trop but it explain why the characters are willing to do whatever MC asks for. For romance the relationship build
a bit slower, with the girl refusing sex at first, but goes into something quite personal after that.

Story
There is a main story with a possible bad end, so you can not really fuck it up on this. Based on the relation
that you develop with girls there is a different end story for them. What I did not liked is that the corruption
path is everything or nothing: you can not corrupt just one of the three main girls, which is quite a shame.


Gameplay
The game seems rushed sometimes. There are some imaged in the gallery that are actually blancks and during my first
gameplay I really taugh I missed something. Also if Keira/Melisa/Angela get pregnant the threesome/foursome option
is still available, without the change in appearance.
The music goes well with the action.
