    It's a decent game. Not too god but good enough to be enjoyed. My only complaint is the overbearing RNG and the lack of interactiveness with the heroines.

    The gameplay loop is fun, managing your time and seeing what you can find in the new locations is endearing but there is no sense of urgency or a real continueing story. It could have used some more impactful random events and the logbook-esque story viewer was rather weird. And the RNG is incredibly harsh and seemingly doesn't care for your stats all too much which can get really annoying.

    The characters are fine, they are all unique with their own personalities but my complaint is that we see them interact with each other very little and they all have the exact same body type. And the romance system is a whole lot of nothing, no gifts, no raising affection through conversation or learning much more about them, just clicking the interact button 5 times to unlock everything. And while there is a good quantity of scenes they aren't the best.

    Overall, it's a charming game but feels more like a skeleton with a lot of interesting concepts yet no meat to bite into.

    Would've been a 5 but I had to dock a point since it is obviously untagged AI CG, at least it is still servicable for the most part.
    I enjoyed the comfy gameplay loop of heroine discovery and just overall survival in the harsh post-apocalyptic world. There is a growing satisfaction in gradually flourishing in this environment, with a harem around you to tide you through the end of days.

    One of the better RPGM game out there. Great amount of heroine and CG but each of them still feel unique and have their own story. Game doesn't have NTR but still require you make some cruel choice and go through some heart-breaking scene if you want to unlock all CG. Gameplay kinda grindy and rng but still feel bearable. Could be better if every girls have unique ending instead only handful of them.

    This was suprisingly cozy(for post-apocalypse) game that i killed a few hours in. Just collect waifus, gather resources, and do some simple task managing occasionally.
    On Apocalypse difficulty you have to engage your brain a bit, as you need to prioritize some locations and heroines over others until you stabilize on food and water or reach higher-yield zones. By that point it becomes impossible to lose anyone unless you do it on purpose.

    MTL is pretty bad though( not to mention the random event cards are untranslated - understandable, images are pain in the ass to MTL), so you will either hit the snooze button and breeze past the gibberish, or will have to decrypt it using context and knowledge of common anime tropes and japanese colloquialisms to give at least some character to the girls (what the hell is 'LUK' though?)

    Could have been an interesting management sim type game, but it's just incredibly boring. Playing on normal difficulty, there is near-zero chance of you failing unless you just aggressively ignore the status indicators as to which areas give which resources. Progression is total RNG, as you need to find certainly key items or recruitable people to make any progress in the game. It does at least have the decency to tell you how many of these exist in each area, so you know when to move on.

    Really though...that's it for gameplay. The few battles are auto, and you can't lose unless you just completely neglect your characters health. You can talk to the girls which will unlock scenes, and clearing certain combinations of characters and items will unlock endings. Just roll the dice every game day and hope you find the important stuff as fast as possible. The CG is okay, I guess, but each girl only gets a tiny bit of character development so you'll quickly stop caring.

    Man fuck this game.

    The game's basic premise is fine - survive by gathering resources and recruit babes to harem and help you do actions.

    But here's the problem: to do all the good stuff, you NEED tools. And finding tools in a location is not only random, but also impossible to know what even is in a location in the first place. You can easily spend turn after turn not getting a single goddamn tool, just spinning your wheels, and its TREMENDOUSLY ANNOYING.

    Otherwise okay game.

    For me it's a 4 mostly because I did enjoy it since this is is a game you can just casually enjoy, has tons of cg, good amount of women that look very good, and a nice harem ending. However this game is definitely a 3 for everyone else since the rest the game is average with rng that is just unfair at times witch make the later part of game the very tedious. Completed in about 5 hrs first run and the translation is serviceable. For the H it's just vanilla with about everyone having one rape scene. I say give it a try you may enjoy and even like I did or just think it alright.
