Overall enjoyed this VN, but I gotta say that the latter part of the game feels pretty lackluster.
(Light spoilers, nothing specific) There was some sort buildup with cannibals, but that just didn't really amount to much. Even a strange emphasis on that bandit woman (no I wasn't expecting her to be an LI), but she just ended up getting shot by Julie and that was it.
Overall, the vibe I got was that the developer was getting burned out and just wanted to be done with the story. It just felt rushed and anticlimactic at the end.
When I heard about multiple endings, I thought it would be actually different endings. Not really, it's pretty much same ending, with the only differences being how romanced everyone.
sydney left the showers after saying in her head that she didnt want to send me mixed signals and then it went straight into a sex scene thats one of the bonus scenes
A great story; out of all AVNs I've played, this one feels the most like reading a book. While other AVNs opt for a mostly light-hearted and heroic story with lots of variety, this one is more harsh and realistic, though it does also have emotional, happy, and sweet moments.
I have to say that the story can drag on some occasions. One problem is that there are actually too many lewd scenes. I think that being intimate with fewer LIs is better if you don't want the story to stall too much.
The visuals & animations are decent, though nothing to write home about. You'd play the game for its story & writing. And while there are small hiccups here and there, it's still a complete and very much enjoyable experience.
I think you just need to add the Director's cut. I did a compare of the two files, and the unpackaged plain 'endings.rpy' has grammer errors, which are fixed in the director's cut.
This has to be one of the best games, story_wise, I have played. The graphics are ok, not the best, but definitely aren't the worst. It wouldn't have to have any renders and the story alone is filled with breath taking moments. I am truly sad to see an ending, because I fill like I'm losing an friend
Actually fantastic wtf? Finished with multiple endings. Only slight criticism is the voice clip is the same for each sex scene but that is minor. I love Carol
My only complaint would be the lack of bad guys used in the game like the cannibals and final group you kill in game were perfect fillers for the middle of the story where most fans complained it dragged (not me just what i hear through reddit and other platforms) also the chick that gets killed at the end kid of a waste in my opinion still a great game would put in my top 10
So, i love this game a lot that i can't finish just because i haven't played a game this good. But there is a song thats on my mind a lot and i cant find it. It plays in a scene where Carol and Mc looking from the balcony and going the "Then..." Part. It on my mind and i have been searching for it. Is there a soundtrack of this game or anyone knows this specific song?
I have just finished the game. Definetly my #1 on this site. I've played through maany stories. Yours is fucking amazing man. Unbelievable. To anyone who's seeing this and wonders if they should give it a go... Do it, don't hesitate.
Well, you asked for reports of noticed grammar issues, during the intro theres one.
as mc is giving us the premise, one line is written 'When the shelter-at-home eventually order came down...', ofcourse order and eventually being the wrong way around.
I'll update as i replay. Also is there anyway to prevent seeing the Alice flashback sex scenes? I have 0 interest seeing her force herself if i can help it. Next to that all the annoying inner monolgue. Sick of sitting on a single frame for 2 or 3 minutes as i have to read whatever overly explained troubles our guy is going through. She tugged you off, you groped each other on the couch, she sucked you off as you fingered her, however despite all your rules on safety, you would rather run out into an apocalypse than talk to her maturely about stuff, when you only have to return to the apartment anyways? Kinda stupid really.
It's called story telling and exposition. It all adds to the cenimatic immersion of the story. When you read comics do you only read the dialogue and skip the thought bubbles and narration? You hate the novel in visual novel?
This is an incredible game/story and I love everything about it
This is an actual masterpiece. Probably best one I've ever played to date. The tense suspense at alot of parts and waiting for inevitable happenings in an apocalyptic setting that you just never know is actually going to happen or not. Carried that feeling throughout the entire story just about. Was really special. The H-scenes were more of a bonus, though theres a ton of them, some of which even meld parts of the story together well.
(Little spoilers) But argh the section with the haven, I just wish so much the MC kept his backbone up for that segment. He just basically got pushed into something he was totally uncomfortable with, he didnt even fight back that hard just made snide comments and back talked here and there but didn't really lay into them like he should have. He should have been exploding over it, especially during the dialogue in the hotel. Just cant imagine throwing years of your life away for a selfless act, then for an apocalypse to hit and you doing everything in your power, nearly dying every single day, finding supplies, killing humans and infected alike and for someone to just brush you off like you're gonna be fine and your loved ones will be without you perfectly safe. Meanwhile wants to put you in the same doghouse that they expect the "same kind of visitors" to literally kill you. It was a frustrating point.
But yeah, got that off my chest can tell I'm a bit invested into the story, it has me wrapped up lol.

Saying it like it's a bad thing... Quite straight, no mixed signals indeed)

I agree. I was actually getting tired of all scenes Carol was getting (this was before I found out about the unlock all scenes thing).
I can't seem to download this through the Itch launcher. Would you mind looking into that?
I'm on like, ch3 so far, and all this exposition is like, making it really hard for my conscious to see Carol as anything other than my daughter
hi, I'm confused which to download. do i only need to download the director's cut 100 on andriod or i need the endings rpy too?
I'm a little unclear on the install. I need the main file (0.99.0) and to also add the directors cut patch and endings file in that folder?
I think you just need to add the Director's cut. I did a compare of the two files, and the unpackaged plain 'endings.rpy' has grammer errors, which are fixed in the director's cut.

I totally know what you mean. Best story ever in a visual novel
Actually fantastic wtf? Finished with multiple endings. Only slight criticism is the voice clip is the same for each sex scene but that is minor. I love Carol

ok be warned alternate endings, Great work
This is a fantastic AVN. I actually care for the characters and what happens. I'm going to check out more of your stuff for sure.
