The renders are great but...
I know the scenes aren't done and the dev says the text isn't finished, so hopefully this was all placeholder dialogue.
Because, my god, the writing is terrible.
I thought the dialogue between the three friends was pretty bad to start. Along with the confusion of why exactly you'd need money during an apocalypse, zombie or otherwise. (Everyone would just trade and loot).
But when some chick walks into MC's room in lingerie with her tits hanging out and that's not the first, or the second, or the third, fourth or fifth thing he comments on, just goes along with a natural conversation until she's on the bed naked, when finally he notices?
Yeah. Turned it off right there. Improvement in the writing needs to be pretty extreme in the next update or this will be just another waste of good art/renders, like a wide variety of other disappointments on this site. There are quite a few games out there with decent writing but crap art & vice versa. In a perfect world, a lot of these devs would team up to create a title worth playing, but that never really happens.
Hopefully this is, in fact, just placeholder & the dev ends up being ok on the writing end. Purposefully posted this here instead of under reviews, since it's too early to tell. But the writing improvement needs to go far beyond localization or some simple grammar corrections that a lot of other posters pointed out.
Edit: For clarity, I'm playing the version with the corrected script hotfix posted to page 10 on Jan 8 and updated in original post on Jan 9 2023. Still leaves quite a lot to be desired in the writing department.

First impression: good rendering and animation,
The story sounds interesting too. I'm looking forward to the next update.
Here is my Somewhere I Belong[v0.0.1Hotfix] german translation.
(Please post the link on the first page thank you)

I know there is more writing planned, but seriously it needs a solid writing and world building to justify the beautiful renders, and the game as of now is just bunch of scenes with no base and coherence, the dialogues are bad especially the conversation between the friends also the banter during the sex scene seems weird i had no idea what was goin on hopefully these will be worked on in the next release. As of now its just a slideshow of good renders and animations.

Okay I like Anais she's cute and playful plus that sexy thick body of hers (although I'd personally get rid of her thigh tattoo)
I didn't really have an issue with the dialogue I guess its an issue of being placed in the middle of a situation with no context?
Maybe make use of flashbacks to explain the bank heist and how the mc knows Anais?
I don't think the "zombies" should be called zombies since they don't seem to be dead, infected seems a more apt title for them like 28 Days Later.

Hi, I uploaded two versions. One compressed and another uncompressed. Because some people asked me for that. As they liked the game uncompressed to enjoy the images at their max quality. The compressed one isn't that heavy.
About the size of the images, there are several reasons for that. The biggest is I do a lot of post-production on my renders. I edit them very carefully. I even paint them manually several details on the character's skins for them to look nice, especially Anais's body. So files tend to get bigger due to all the colors I add. Also, I don't reuse the background as many other Visual novels do over and over. All characters are in the place the background is, which increases the size too. I can reuse one or two, but they are few. Sorry for any inconvenience. I'm working hard on the 0.02.

Good premise and a well-paced story beginning. I know much of the dialogues and stuff is still placeholders, but it all looks promising. MrBaker Do consider adding sound effects at some point. If you can get there, that will set this game a class apart! My best wishes with this one.

Thanks so much. I plan to add sound effects and sound to the adult scenes for the next update and also add some music. I had the sound effects totally planned for the next update. About the music: I didn't add it because finding free music for an adult game has been very hard. most music developers have prohibited using their music for adult games unless you pay exclusive licenses, which is entirely out of my budget right now. but I found some free songs to use. Good to hear you liked it.

Others have done it and so will I, putting a message of support for this amazing project-to-be.
I am sure you've realized how stunning the quality of your visuals are.
I really want to attach the "We will watch your career with great interest" meme, but I'm certain someone has done it already ... so ... you know what, I'll do the abridged version.
