Date Z

I enjoyed the writing, art, and what story is included in the base game. Sadly, I cannot recommend this game due to the DLC strategy. The base game contains only one love interest which creates a highly linear and incomplete experience. It just feels bad to see all the things you cannot do and then select the one available option. I would adjust my rating if the devs added another base game LI.

No one told me that my character had to be a guy. Also, it's crappy that about half the game's content is locked behind DLCs. I will not be paying for those. It's probably too late for me to get a refund, but I might try. This wasn't what I expected at all.

It seems like i bought this just to unlock other characters by paying again? You could've had included other characters to the main game too and set the pricing according to that. Otherwise it is annoying and i wish we could be able to to chose the time period when we have to go back of the choices...

Перш за все, дякую за українську локалізацію. Вона далека від ідеалу, але я радий, що вона тут присутня. Історія про пригоди одного американського школяра, на долю якого випала неймовірно загадкова історія із вкрапленнями подорожей у часі, зомбі-апокаліпсису, а на фоні усього цього ще й треба якось налагоджувати особисте та вельми буремне особисте життя з трійкою однокласниць. Без відвертого 18+ контенту.

First about the base game / dlc drama. The BASE GAME only gives you 1 ending with 1 of 4 girls. To get the "full game" you have to buy the 3 seperate girls dlc or the complete romance pack for a slight discount. This game regularly goes on discount for 90% and the dlc go for 30% off so in NZD I paid $12.60 for the full game. A little much for how short the game is but I dont regret it. The only reason Im writing this review is because I normally hate visual novels, they're long, they're boring, you just sit there reading text watching jpgs sit there doing nothing. But this game was the first visual novel I actually liked?? I 100%'d the game in one 7 hour play through and while it did get tedious at the end trying to get the right score for a few achievements I was hooked into it during my first few play throughs. The artstyle is aesthetically pleasing and the characters are all fun to look at due to their cute 'bouncy' animation as you scroll through text. All the girls have a variety of poses / expressions as well so its not just "Here's the characters default pose from the cover for 3 hours because we couldn't be ♥♥♥♥♥♥" I cant sugarcoat it though their personalities are a bit on the basic side though. Alicia is the jock, Vivi is the nerd (with the twist that she's kind of a ♥♥♥♥♥ too lol), Patty is good ol American "I want to be a housewife and shoot guns" but then theres the ABSOLUTE GOAT BAO, complete peak 10/10 cinema standing ovations are in order. The gameplay consists of spending 4 days cozying up to the girls in preparation for the imminent zombie apocalypse while also investigating its cause. There is no other meaningful gameplay though,no inventory or minigames or anything after the outbreak. There's 2 endings with each girl (and 1 secret girl ending) one for not getting their investigation meter to full and one for maxing the meter out. I thought it would be fun to at least spend a day with the girl you choose post outbreak ducking through classrooms or looking for rations etc but nah it leaves your fate up in the air For any fellow corridor Z fans the references are sadly kept to a minimum, there's only 1 scene with the corridor z characters and Jill isnt a romanceable option. I think this was one of the games biggest mistakes, when I say 1 scene I literally mean 1 single scene maybe 5 boxes of dialogue but hey at least theres like 4 mandatory events with the coach where you pick meaningless bs dialogue that doesnt affect anything else in the game right??? Conclusion: + Great art + Cute characters + Fun dialogue choices - Minimal corridor z references - You spend 5 minutes with the zombies before the game ends - No NSFW scenes - Extremely short (You might spend 30-45 minutes per ending) - No MC customisation (Skin color / gender) ~ a crossover update with corridor z would've been amazing but I sadly doubt either game is known well enough to warrant it If you've got the pocket change give it a go. And if the developers ever see this I really hope we get more of these characters / this universe. Both this game and corridor Z are CRIMINALLY underrated and they could easily get so much attention and love but I feel so stupid for liking these games so much when you treat them so poorly. You make the baffling choice to not market these games AT ALL and at the end of the day I cant blame the general public for not enjoying a mobile game the devs abandoned then threw up on steam or a visual novel where 3/4 of the game is in the scummy dlc Edit: Oh my god I think the trailer is voiced by ai too gg how do you even afford such good art if you cant get someone in the office to sit in a closet and voice the trailer themselves

que corten el juego base solo para poner a los otras en el dlc es de mierda y ya aburre este bucle de mierda

En résumé, en tant qu'étudiant senior transféré, votre première semaine dans une nouvelle école se transforme en une extraordinaire course contre la montre. Il ne s'agit pas seulement de se faire des amis ou de suivre des cours. Votre survie dépend d'une seule tâche : trouver une fille d'ici vendredi. Ce lycée pittoresque d'une petite ville est niché au sommet d'une ancienne base aérienne militaire abandonnée, remplie de portes verrouillées et de passages cachés. Sous la routine de la vie au lycée, quelque chose de troublant s'agite, jetant une ombre inquiétante sur l'école. Mais résoudre ce mystère peut attendre. Tout d'abord, vous devez trouver votre bien-aimé et assurer votre survie. "Date Z" combine magistralement un roman visuel avec une aventure mystérieuse énigmatique. Traversez le labyrinthe de la vie au lycée, charmez des rencontres potentielles et prenez des décisions qui façonneront votre destin et celui de ceux qui vous entourent. Les points forts : * Vos décisions déterminent le cours de votre récit et le résultat de l'histoire. * Les chemins que vous choisissez mènent à divers résultats, offrant une fin unique à chaque fois que vous jouez (des fins multiples). * Aventurez-vous dans la romance du lycée avec cinq filles distinctes, chacune avec sa propre personnalité, son histoire et peut-être un rôle à jouer dans le mystère caché. * Explorez plusieurs chronologies : avec un appareil mystérieux, vous pouvez naviguer à travers différentes chronologies, révélant des scénarios uniques et approfondissant votre immersion dans le drame du lycée. * Exploration du campus scolaire : Découvrez des secrets dans l'architecture complexe de votre école, une ancienne base aérienne militaire. * Magnifiques visuels de style bande dessinée à la main. * Écriture soigner, pas de vulgarité, parsemée de brin d'humour (selon votre personnage). Le point négatif : * Il y a juste un point négatif, j'ai acheté le roman Date Z à 90% de rabais et j'étais très heureux, car je voulais ce roman mystère. Néanmoins, il est impossible de compléter le jeu sans a priori avoir acheté les 3X DLC Romance Pack. Ce n'est pas une question de d'argent, mais je n'ai point acheter un roman qui était écrit chapitre 1, mais un roman incomplet pour ne pas dire un prologue. Mais au delà de la monétisation a outrance le roman est bon. En contrepartie, vous recevrez 87 succès facilement. Je le recommande fortement seulement aux rabais et avec les DLC dans le cas contraire passer votre chemin. Maintenant, vous êtes prévenu. Amicalement, Le pasteur .

Візуально гарна гра, рекомендую. А також, дякую за українську!
