Welcome to Tenants of the Dead! A Visual Novel meets (lite) Zombie Survival game where one wrong move could mean the difference between life and death...and getting cucked into oblivion harder than Adam22. You play as Daeshim, a twitch streamer who was happily living together with his hot as hell girlfriend Minjee until a Zombie Apocalypse takes their city by storm. With the undead now prowling the streets and any chance at a rescue being slim to none, Daeshim must scavange whatever resources he can find while dealing with other surivors with potentially dubious intentions for both him and his significant other.
PROS:
- Both the artwork and animations are phenomenal. NTRMAN just doesn't miss when it comes to visuals.
- Minjee is one of the sexiest heroines the dev has created so far and has a well-written dynamic with Daeshim that can get genuinely wholesome in certain scenes.
- On the flipside, its an NTRMAN work through and through, so if you enjoyed that particular flavor of adulterous degeneracy they're known for, you won't be disapointed here. Hell, even Daeshim can get laid by some of the other female tenants he comes across in his escapades.
- For an Early Access Build, there is a surprising level of divergence between each route, somewhat akin to The Adelaide Inn in terms of how your decisions and items on hand can lead to distinctive outcomes.
CONS:
- By virtue of being a WIP, there's a ton of glitches ranging from bugged visuals like a spinning door knob to certain routes not being made available in spite of already posessing the items neccessary to unlock them.
- The "survival" part of the gameplay loop, while ambitious compaired to NTRMAN's previous titles, is very barebones in execution and becomes a slog to grind through on multiple playthroughs. Especially since exploration is limited to only two areas.
- Limited save slots that can only be accessed via the MC's appartment instead of the menu.
TL;DR: If you're a fan of NTRMAN's work or just looking for a good fap while enjoying a decent narrative, give it a shot. But if you're also looking for this to be something like Project Zomboid but with H-Scenes, you're gonna end up being disappointed.
