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

The game is not perfect, it has flaws like some minor bugs regarding the decision making aspect of the game, but pretty much else is good: male protagonist, the quick pace to get in action, the art, the plot and so on. Overall it's a well rounded work which ain't groundbreaking or anything but does a great job and delivers more than most of the games in this site. Definitely worth of your time.

Good Art, quality choices, wish there was more but man is the sheriff great. Sincerely wish we had more options for the other characters but for what there is right now is good enough and a lot of content to enjoy and replay.

Excellent game, it has 4-5 hours of gameplay, multiple ends and excellent story. A lot of girls with story line and multiple conclusions, i believe if you one everything correctly there are 12 girls to relate and you can choose a corruption or love paths for each one, expect the 3 main girls that are kind a pack deal, if you choose corruption for one the others will follow the same path.
The game appears to have a lot of choices but its pretty linear with not much space for error and easy choice making (harem path is quite easy as well), this mean that you can play without a walkthrough and yet have some impact on the game. For me works perfectly.
5 stars without doubt

I dont understand how this got 5star rating. The H scenes are bad imo. and the story and gameplay is bad too? i dont know. I dont like the style either. The letters are hard to read because of the font. i really dont get it. its a very basic game without much attached to it. if only the story was hot or the scenes.

Fap-able game.

Very well drawn and there is a respectable number of scenes (you can choose where to cum).

Your choices will slightly impact the story.

If not for the abrupt ending it'd easily get 5 stars.

Of the time of writing this game is Version 1.0
Before I start the review I want to briefly go over my experience with the game so whoever reads this knows from what frame of reference I have when writing this review. I can’t remember what the game version was when I first played it (something is telling me it was version 0.31 or 0.33) but I’ve been following the game during its development. In that time I’ve grown attached to the game and the characters in it. I will admit however I’ve only done a single corruption only playthrough in that entire time, and my version 1.0 playthrough was romance only. Of the romance only playthrough I got the harem shelter and impregnated all the girls (I know I still missed a few scenes though).

Story (1/1)
The main story is simple, you leave the shelter, go find a woman, she takes you to a shelter, you deal with their problems, become mayor, and eventually take down the local bandit gang. The real meat of the story is the side character content. All of the female characters are romance / mindbreak - able, and if you play your cards right, all of them can be at the same time (the route I chose). All the characters have a sweet story and backstory (with the exception of Grace and Mia who have much shorter stories) each with multiple scenes and multiple sex scenes (most of which are repeatable). Out of the romance scenes, all of them felt genuine and made it feel like the characters love each other. As stated before I did not do the corruption scenes (I have nothing against them, I just didn’t want to do a second playthrough since I already did one back on version 0.34 over a year ago). The ending slideshow worked really well, giving all of the major decisions a short screen or two describing their outcome as well as giving a nice finality to the games ending. Overall, a very well done story, it is pretty long though so I would suggest multiple play sessions to not get tired of the game.

Art (1/1)
All of the art is in the same style, with the exception of the ending slideshow art (this is especially jarring since Tom and Oscar get slides and they are in the same style as the rest of the game). Although this isn’t specifically bad, it is worth pointing out. The game in general has all of the characters be very curvy, Kira (whose muscular) and Melisa (whose more is thinner) are portrayed as being very curvy in the games sex scenes as well as some of the other scenes. If you like curvy women, this game is the place to be. The sex scenes are very high quality with my only minor qualm being magical juices on the women before insertion. Amazing quality, would jack again.

Gameplay (1/1)
This game works really well as a Choice-your-own-adventure style visual novel, with your choices leading you down very distinct routes and the characters acting very differently if you romance them compared to mindbreak them. With the inclusion of the ending slideshow to give impact to some other decisions it feels like choice really matters. The day cycle also works really well, with time passing opening up different events and some event being misable (like pregnacancy sex scenes or characters getting pregnant at all). The only resources you need to manage are cans of food and Y-Shield, cans are currency and Y-shield lets you visit the settlement. Cans are earned from working at the bar, income from taxes, and from people in the shelter doing their jobs. You get Y-Shield from a few events, buying it from Bill, or for free if you let John out. This system is simple and does its job well.

Grammar (1/1)
For a game based on reading, having good grammar and punctuation is very important, and this game didn’t have any glaring grammar or spelling issues. If it did I missed them, either way, an easy pass.

Technical (1/1)
I only had 1 bug in the game, and that was when one of the girls (I think it was Mia) ended up saying the name of a variable instead of the settlement's name.

I only have two other technical gripes with the game. How long it takes to do anything, and pregnancy. You have to go through a lot of days in the game, mostly because events require a new day to trigger, this led to me heavily relying on the skip button towards the end game. I don’t have a solution to this, it was just an issue I had while playing. Pregnancy was something I had a pretty annoying time with. When the game lets you choose the option to impregnate, it’s really a percent chance (at least it feels like it) and some characters can’t be pregnant at the same time (like the shelter girls for example) I also personally had all of my other characters come up pregnant at the some time and missed a few scenes because of it.

Overall, this is a very high quality game that I would recommend to anyone who liked this style of game, or is getting introduced to this type of game. The developer has a lot of skill in terms of writing and I hope they continue to make games moving forward.

Story (4.5/5): It has a lot of characters and of course different stories for each one but they are really entertaining it doesn't get bored and I appreciate that it has multiple endings depending the player's choices, there's only one character that (in my opinion) has a weird story, the rest are really good.

Gameplay (4/5): It's like a sandbox game, it is really easy to interact, in my experience didn't find any bug but I would appreciate that the game include some hints for the characters or their stories

Animations (4/5): I really loved the character's designs, they all have different body types and of course different personalities but there are some scenes (non sexual) that has a bad drawing and some scenarios are really basic.

Sex stuff (5/5): The scenes and females are really hot, there are different situations and depending the route you had chosen the dialogues and scenes change.

This is a GOOD game, in my personal opinion I would add hints to advance in the character's stories because sometimes is really easy to skip some sotries or scenes and finish the game.

Short and easy. There's no challenge to it. Sex scenes are basically just 3 or 4 images on loop. The gameplay is basically just talk to everyone, choose every choice available, then sleep. Rinse and repeat until you manage to fulfill some counter for number of days passed in order to unlock more content.

Firstly, mod (multi-mod recommended) is kinda necessary to fix basic game flaws. Without this mod, game is 1/5 or 2/5.
That aside, game is pretty decent, but it has a glaring flaw to me: girls are way too easy, and generally speaking everything go the MC's way. I kinda feel like I'm playing a Miel game, if I had to make a comparison. Stick the D in girl, the poor sow instantly become addicted and pledge loyalty. No one ever try revolting.
So, well, for an apocalypse game...difficulty is ridiculously low. On that matter, I think the Y-shield thing kinda killed the story. Or at least, the way it appeared is way too easy. I mean, what's the point of doing a nuclear radiation apocalypse game if you are going to make radiation a non-issue 30 min after the start?
This also means that all characters are pretty shallow and the game ends up using a quantity over quality approach.
EDIT: changed to 2/5. Really disliked the way the game keeps on progressing which doesn't make much sense to me. There is also a bad tendency of the game to ignore previously made choice.

This is pretty much exactly what a porn game should be. Minimal grinding, lot's of characters to bone, great art. Minor complaint would be I would like more relationship progression and variety, it goes from 0 to 100 pretty fast with every character. And of course, more scenes would be awesome, but there are plenty to make it worth a playthrough or two.

This is the first game i played from Winterlook and tbh it was not that bad i definitely reccomend to download the Multi mod for "maximum" experience. The game is simple your either play the good guy or you corrupt every girl you see. You can romance or corrupt all the girls without a problem and you will see the ending for each of them. There are multiple endings depending on your choices which is big plus in my book. Not a bad game to kill some time.

A post apocalyptic world that turns into a open world harem the moment the prologue ends. But, that's fine for the most part. The limitations imposed by the setting are window dressings and don't hinder your playthrough. The main strength here is the two distinct harem paths offered to the MC. Girls are cute with the sheriff Elin being my favorite. There's enough stuff to unlock that you'll need two saves to get every scene. Music and art are good for a 2D game. It's just a breeze to pass your time with and you'll be entertained enough. A strong four/light five stars.

Gameplay: Sandbox point and clicker, choosing between locations and choices.

Writing: Really well done, both the romance and corruption paths have good dialogue. Multiple endings.

Art: Extremely stylistic, with decent anatomy.

Audio: Various background music and sounds.

This is a really well paced game. Excellent art, and a decent range of characters. It has a little bit of replay potential, without being too grindy or repetitive. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of pregnancy (and pregnancy sex) in copious amounts.

love This Game Played it first when there wasn't even a town and was very bare bones and watched it have multiple endings and choices for each character have pregnancy options with them and a lot of great sex Scenes. Not to heavy on fetish content one futa character and some feet content but nothing else really. great artwork never personally encountered a game breaking glitch or bug i really recommend you play it.

This game is a complete package. Very few games have romance as well corruption paths implemented at this level. Graphics are really good. Plenty of sex with lots of women. Futa is optional (Thank you dev). Really enjoyed playing it.

3/5 - Decent waste of time
~ 2-3 hours long

The Game is a sandbox VN, but don't worry because there isn't much grinding - the game progresses quickly and naturally. There are about 3 or 4 "main quests" that serve as checkpoints for gating content.
The story is fine. It's mostly a background to the porn.
There are 12 girls in total, but only the 3 incest choices have any detailed content or personality. The other girls are just a couple of quick fucks. Just like in The Fate of Irnia, most girls offer the option of romance or corruption. Unlike in Irnia, for the most part you won't get locked into any romances and are free to fuck/ignore all the girls in a single playthrough. Scenes consist of ~20 clicks of text and 2-3 drawings. Quantity over quality.

+ Art style is unique.
+ The writing is much improved from the devs previous game, The Fate of Irnia.

- Most of the girls are way too easy. Corruption/Romance is way too quick.
- Many scenes are hard to find. Walkthrough not helpful.
- Linear plot; you only have a few choices at the ending, Mass Effect style.
- Music is annoying.

Honestly i love this game.This is in my opinion one of the best games out there. I like ther story very much and the charakters are great.


sorry for bad writing english isnt my first language.

kinda disappointed with this game, i like post-apocalyptic fictons but the 2d is not my thing, most of the 2d games i played are short or rushed, in this one you are trapped in the shelter with 3 girls, in a 3d game could have a slowly progression with them, but in this it was like blowjob one day and on the other pregnancy, girls are almost emotionless,also in like 1 hour of game you can tell how the entire game will be already

This game is quite strange to note.
The GC's are sometimes good, sometimes average ( very average ) The gameplay is good, but boring, the characters are nice, but not very interesting, the story is not bad, but badly written. One day you're locked in a shelter, the next day you're sleeping with all the girls around, and you've become the mayor of a village you discovered 3 days ago. The evolution of the characters is too abrupt. We quickly go from "I'm your sister, we can't" to "LET'S FUCK IN ALL THE ROOMS".
