Synopsis:
Spoiler
The apocalypse finally arrived.
But what decimated humanity was neither a nuclear war nor aliens coming to exterminate us. It was nature herself that awoke to eliminate a cancer that was ravaging the planet for far too long: humanity.
This plague, which ended the reign of man, was nicknamed "The plant" and despite the best efforts of governments, it's rate of growth and the proliferation of the pollen couldn't be contained. The grass covered the concrete, flowers grew on the corpses, mankind died out in a rattle of ridiculous agony, and the earth breathed again. Only you and a handful of survivors remain. Without rules, without law, in a tree of immense possibility, the choices you will make will only be dictated by your conscience and your desires.
At your darkest moments, In an extinct world, Where civilization has collapsed, What choices will you make? Will you walk among shadows... Or will you seek to preserve the light...

v1.26f Remake
I had to release a new update to fix some important bug, deadlinks support, add a new screen and correct some russian langage integration.
v1.26e Remake
Bugfix
v1.26d Remake
This month, we dove headfirst into Cyrillic characters and explosive consonants... A new milestone in the game’s accessibility: the
Russian version of
Apocalypse Lovers
is now available by default
, directly from the language menu. No need for mods, add-ons, or occult incantations — the option is there, ready to be selected in the settings. It’s smooth, it’s clean, it’s official.
This was made possible thanks to the collaboration with a native Russian translator and our backend developer, who didn't hesitate to dive deep into the guts of the code to ensure that Dostoevsky's language could blend seamlessly with our post-apocalyptic succubi. We thank them both for their dedication and professionalism!
Even parts of the game code were reworked and specific efforts were made to adapt variables to the linguistic quirks of the Russian language, particularly the declension system for proper nouns. Since players can freely choose the names of certain characters, these declensions couldn’t be hard-coded. So, new functions had to be implemented, giving the game engine added flexibility to treat the language properly — even in its most complex forms.
v1.26c Remake

Bug Fix: Skill Screen Performance
Resolved an issue causing significant lag when displaying skill selection on the skill screen, which led to a major slowdown.
Bug Fix: "Medical Inspection" Scene
Fixed a bug in the "Medical Inspection" scene with Jessica in the Submissivness path, where the display of the [inspection] choice in brackets was misinterpreted by Ren’Py, resulting in unexpected behavior.
New Feature: Customization Screen
Introduced a brand-new customization screen with tailored scenes to help you fine-tune your text settings based on the environment, visibility, lighting, and more for a more immersive experience.
v1.26 Remake Upgraded
Warning: This is not Chapter 3 yet!
I am actively working on the next chapter, but in the meantime, why not enjoy the regular updates I’ve been adding? Version 1.26 doesn’t introduce major progress in the storyline, but it significantly enriches the player experience and refines existing elements, including a brand-new introductory scene (1), the new skill system (2), and the inclusion of the French language ingame (3).
v1.25b
Hey, as you know, the remake of
Apocalypse Lovers
was released for those who want to properly prepare before the launch of Chapter 3. However, a few minor bugs had sneakily found their way into the code. If you’ve already played the remake and didn’t notice anything, that’s normal, as these bugs appeared very rarely. However, if you’re planning to play the remake soon, it is strongly recommended that you play the version with the fixes, which is version 1.25b!
v1.25
The beta testing phase of the remake is finally over, and you’re about to discover this new version of the game, even sexier and more exciting, just the way you like it. As I’ve explained before, the idea behind this remake is simple: to offer those joining the adventure midway, as well as those wanting to relive Chapters 1 and 2, a greatly improved gameplay experience.
The goal was to deliver a smoother and more polished experience while ensuring full compatibility with the upcoming Chapter 3. This way, you can continue your journey without interruption, with your saves intact and optimized gameplay. This remake now serves as a solid foundation for the quick and efficient development of Chapter 3. Whether it’s the new systems implemented or the upcoming translations, every element has been rethought to streamline the creation process and ensure a result that meets my personal standards.
Enough talking, now go have fun!
PS: For those of you who are really motivated and want to participate more actively in the development of Apocalypse Lovers, don’t hesitate to contact me via PM on Discord so I can take your suggestions into account.

A word from the author about Chapter 2 Release
After all the difficulties encountered, I am very happy to finally announce the release of the Chapter 2! The beta testing phase has just ended and everything seems to be in order! But if by any chance you find a bug, please report it on the appropriate discord channel.
I also take this opportunity to remind you, as I had announced previously, it's imperative to restart the game from the beginning, even if you have already played chapter 1. Because many scenes have been modified and improved even in chapter 1; so unfortunately you can't resume your old backups. If you still have one, it's even recommended to throw away what's left your old Apocalypse Lovers Folder before you embark on this new adventure!
Alright, I know this update was long, but now it's here and I hope you will enjoy playing it as much as I liked creating it. I've put all my heart into it and I hope there is the right balance of content between lore developpment, adult action, story progression and funny scene. That being said, don't hesitate to contact me on social networks to share your feedback, whether positive or negative! This will give me more indicators which will lead my line of work when developping chapter 3.

I loved it.! The story, the character interaction, the theme.... A little bit annoying at the beginning when you don't know where to click but gets easier as you move on. Looking forward for more lewd scenes!
The Lamb Sauce2026-03-12★★★★★
While the renders and "animations" might not be the best, it's not the worst either. Nevertheless, who cares? The game clearly has passion going into it and the atmosphere/world building is what impressed me the most. Dev created very sexy scene but in a weird, tickling way that no other game has done before. I have high hope for this going forward and definitely one of the very few games I actually get my piggy bank out to support even though it's minuscule monetarily.
bakaseye2026-03-02★★★★★
I tried this game for the first time on v1.3.1a Ch.3 and damn, it's actually very good. Saw some comments whining about big changes from earlier versions, but since this is my first time playing I didn't notice anything drastic — current style is enjoyable for me anyway. Story setting is cool af, I'm a sucker for dystopian shit. Renders are nice, animations aren't super smooth but they're there (could be way worse), and the strongest part of the game by far is the psychological mindfuck + that heavy dark atmosphere, imho. Really like the option to go full psycho and actually see the nasty consequences for it. The real world needs more peace. The internet needs darker, more unhinged games. Let us vent our chaos in pixels so we don’t carry it into real life. Good luck to the dev — appreciate the work.
SomeoneX222026-02-25★★★★★
After latest update the game easily bumped to one of the best on this site. We got proper interactive sex scenes with makes is worth playing and buying in it current form. Dialogs and worldbuilding in this game is something else author put a lot of effort into it without dropping into graphomania. It's even better if you play on your language translated for better immersion. If you enjoy post-apocalyptic dark games this is as good as it gets in terms of writting.
WardroberVT2026-02-24★★★★★
Good ideas bad realization This game has vibe of mystery, interesting plot, decent graphic, free roam mode and even attribute/skill system but every of those aspects has been made to look worse. Vibe of mystery and interesting plot become ordinary dating sim with point click gameplay. Decent graphic in prologue become outdated with your only lis. Free roam is just find few items in rooms and assemble them together with a lot of thinking and comments after every action. All linear and boring. Even skill/attributes system looks unnecessary and overloaded. For example there are different perks that help you to stay alive or helps you to continue story if you chose wrong option. You can just roll back few slides with mouse wheel or load earlier save. What's the point in this feature? Another perk helps you to watch other perks in line? What's stopping you to watch others perks and load earlier save? For 1.3 version this game evokes a sense of confusion. To tell story of love/corruption of one lis many of features above are unnecessary and only prevent immersion in this apocalyptic world. Oh and i forgot to tell about awful prologue with strange cultists and 3 long tests for nothing. Dev without hiding was inspired by late fallout games, even sound of completed quests was taken from there but it makes only worse.
justheretopirate2026-02-24★★★★★
Great game for those who like corruption/seduction with post apocalypse themes. Game has a surprising number of choices and paths that all leads to different scenes and different scenarios. The render are the girl models are great. As I said the game has lots of Choices that lead to differing paths, unlike most games where choices are mostly cosmetic yes/know.
Kingwhoisnot2026-02-14★★★★★
Almost two years past and the dev wanted to make a remake so hell after 2 years this must be great right? No it does not. Literally all that I found different was the skill tree. And that's it. Maybe the graphics were slightly better, but I didn't see a difference even after playing them back to back. But let's go into the real game the "Remake" was nothing but smoke and mirrors. There is no real choices to this game at least not yet. Either boils down to manipulate the girl in your basement (who you are only family friends with) or be buddy-buddy with her and not have a single sexual scene with her, other than washing her. But here is the real choice factor if you push her too hard she will kill herself, then you will too since I guess you have nothing to live for??? Or you can be sane or insane, being insane makes you have sex with a figment of your imagination, but being sane means she still talks to you like a fucking sidekick. And after 3 years this game has been out we are still on chapter 2 (after a cliffhanger too lmao) it is so clear that this dev is milking his audience with a 16 dollar price point and a subscribestar as well. I do not have hopes for this game, is it will most likely be abandoned or milked for eternity. I can see the writing on the wall. Ch.3 update: HOLY SHIT THAT'S IT!? After of waiting 8 MONTHS, we only have like a half an hour of content? On a PAID WALLED GAME TOO?!?!? I wish we had more updates with his life, or I would excuse most of it but how he kept us in the dark for 8 months as he milked subscribe star money for a lack luster update, as it only introduces one new character and only two new scenes with Jessica, then a map system that for some reason has a stamina bar?? So you have to wait for a meter to go up on a basically an info dump page of the location as most locations aren't fully developed, I don't know what the dev was thinking with this as it just makes the game pointlessly time-consuming. I'm going to give the Dev a benefit of the doubt and hope that he picks up his speed, so I won't make this into a one star. but be warned this game is dangerously close to just being a game that does minimal content while they are stilling getting paid to do it.
Fortrass2026-01-01★★★★★
You have to pay for the 18+ scenes, so I will rank it accordingly. It is $15.99 on Itch.io, which is way too much for the amount of content that's in it. There are way too many systems and mini-games that not only seem to consume a lot of time to think of and code for the dev, but also make the game tedious to play. Every system feels cheap and more like a placeholder, and you wouldn’t miss them if they all just didn’t exist. Especially annoying is having to search and click on every path that your character takes. It’s a railroad anyway, and it could have just been a normal visual novel instead of an illusionary sandbox. Writing: It’s okay, but also not very relatable. Sometimes the conversations just feel off. Characters: The one inside your head since the start of the game is really annoying, and I just wanted to get rid of her every time she tried to influence things. Jessica is good, unrealistically naive, but that's fine. The amount of routes and ways you can treat her is the game’s strongest point by far, and it’s the only thing that kept me playing. Animations: Imagine 3-5 PNGs in a loop. That's about it. They should be way better for $15.99. But the character models are of good quality. Development Time / Updates: Way too slow and way too few updates for something with a price tag. It seems more like a side project or hobby. The game was released in March 2022 and is about 15-20% finished. I would not recommend buying this as of v1.26f Remake, it needs alot more content
FarWest882025-05-04★★★★★
Hard to rate this one, it starts out very interesting, but only two chapters with not much story content and hardly any H content. A complex system of character attributes, traits and skill trees, but I doubt these make any major difference in the two available chapters - maybe when more content is released, but when will that be? Minigames and quick time events are not very good and the game would be better without them. I don't like MC's hallucinations and the (in)sanity system, at all. Jessica's story, on the other had, is interesting but very short, I didn't even have chance to find a new clothes for her, because MC spends most of his time eating some mushrooms, hallucinating and fucking around with his imaginary friend.
Jah-Ith-Ber2025-01-23★★★★★
Game is a blast one of the few kinda sorta sandboxes that strikes the right balance of being linear enough to keep story moving while still giving you a sense of customization over the characters. The post apocalypse genre is sorely lacking in good writing and AL is a standout in that regard. Both the MC and the (so far only) main LI have unique and believable back stories and well written dialogue whether you choose the corruption or romance route. Even though I'm a sucker with a savior complex so I choose romance in 90% of games that offer a choice the corruption route here is really good also doesn't feel like the author was biased towards one over the other. Without any spoilers the world building is intriguing and look forward to seeing where it goes. The renders are kind of quirky in a good way. Jessica's facial expressions are really emotive. Give it a shot!
ResurrectedUser2025-01-22★★★★★
Soon the game will be 3 yo and let me tell you that despite some cheap things and sometimes weird plot and character behavior, I was very impressed by the first game release and wanted to see where the road will lead players after a few years. Well, it led nowhere... The story and general direction in the second chapter already were big downgrades from what I expected from the game. Writing is decent but still has a lot of flaws. For all this time, after the prologue, there are too few things that happened in story and character development for an almost 3yo game. Dev decided to work on remaking the game, which was still in the beginning phase and with so little content (story and lewd) to make things, um, better? I don't know, because when I played the remake, I didn't even remember what was changed to the better from the original game. About lewd content. 95%+ of it consists of flashbacks and MC's hallucinations, and flashbacks don't even include MC, but other characters who, by the logic of things, will not even be in the main story. If we will use game tags towards MC's lewd escapades without hallucinations in this game, then only "groping" will represent what kind of fun MC had for all years of development; it's laughable and kinda sad, really. Literally half of the second chapter consists of weird flashbacks and MC's hallucinations; actual story-moving events are sparse. If you would play the first release of this game, then it's actually 70% of the whole story released to this moment if you cut off unnecessary MC's junkie trips. I sincerely disappointed by what happened with the game for all this time. I dont have any hopes for 3 chapter to change things to the better. With this speed, the game will have decent amount of content and story progression only after 6-7 more years, and only if Dev will not begin another remake on the halfway. Yeah, game has interesting setting, some nice gameplay features and other things, but for me, game failed completely.

N0madS0uL2025-01-22★★★★★
!UPDATED REVIEW: 26/04/2025 VERSION: 1.26d (remake) SUMMARY: Brilliant and not going anywhere with it. Probably the most disappointing game of all time simply because of its lack of actual content. RATINGS: (out of 5): Models: 4 Animations: 4 General Visuals: 4 Characters: 4 Story: 4 Writing: 4 Pacing: 1 Content (amount): 1 UI & Sounds: 4 Fetish & kinks: 4 Average: 34 of 50 possible points giving a 68% rating i.e. 3-4 stars. PROS: Models look good View animations that are there are good Renders overall are pretty decent. Written well and structured well. Interesting way that the player interacts with the world and the characters and aspects like skills and mental status as something to consider is nicely implemented. Skills and overall game complexity and choices make it brilliant BUT! (see cons) Story is not unique, at least not totally, but the way its done and told is and there is a good amount of finesse needed to play the game and navigating it. Potentially some kinks, depending on your choices, though some have simply just a game over effect if you try them. CONS: Pacing is slow, and only "action" the MC gets is from broken psyche, creating some fictitious character that is just a pervert, but still not real! Too little content to really give a good review on kinks and sexual content. Sandbox, no matter who says what, 99.9% of the time sandbox games are shit, they slow the game/novel down to create busy work. That being said, this game falls in that very small category of tolerable sandbox due to not being the traditional sandbox type game, this VN actually has gameplay that requires some "detective" style work and interaction with the environment. On that level its a PRO. FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS: The game complexity, skills, abundance of choices, detail and amount of interactions are really praiseworthy and I have LOADS of respect and admiration for the developer. That being said, the developer focusing on these elements have a major caveat in that the game has little content that contributes to the progress of the story, side stories, the primary LI relationship etc....its just FUCKING! SLOW!!! Its great in what its doing, its just doing TOO little of it!!! Biggest gripe for me is really the time its taking to bring content out, the content that is there is also just not much really. In my opinion the game just has too little content for the time its been developed. Systems and all that notwithstanding its still not much for the player. Game over when you pick other options during your play-through, this to me is annoying bullshit, its much better to create two totally separate paths that could overlap on "general" scenes. Now the player needs to revert back to a previous state or save to take the other route, the ONLY route... The other issue is that the developer drives interaction with the mental projection that the MC created as coping mechanism too much, this character is not real, we know its not real, thus any interaction with it feels like a waste of time. I would much rather focus on "real" character and develop real, meaningful and tangible relations and connections with those. FUCK A "REAL" character. Imaginary, dreams or memories no matter how "kinky" simply do not do it for me because I have the knowledge of knowing its not real or happening now. Memories are in a way the exception, when it concerns "real" characters but not imaginary things.
IamUnderman2024-10-16★★★★★
I really strongly dislike this game. Feels like it was purpose built to waste the players time and to be as obtuse as possible. Filled with boring menial tasks, beginners trap dead ends, pointless mechanics and scores that the game actually doesn't track. All in service of 5/10 renders. Just flat sucks to play.
JonnySmith2024-10-15★★★★★
Having seen the remake, I have to question whether the next version will be complete within any sort of reasonable time, or of any acceptable level content with the changes that took place over the full year for this.
kirikirifan2024-10-15★★★★★
Game has good potential, I love the approach to the game and the atmosphere but the fact that a 20yo has legitimately almost no clue on what masturbation and rape entail is a tad... absurd to be honest. 18yo ojou-sama in a japanese VN coming from an all-girls high school? eh... maybe 5-10 years ago. 'murrrican in the 2020s? nah. Spoiler: story spoiler also I would have waited a bit longer than chapter 2 to hint to the fact that the imaginary girl is in fact.. real. its funny how a few people below completely missed this very little detail, clearly hinting to a good ol playthrough done with a finger glued to ctrl, yet they still decided to write a review lol. Oh and... I still cant figure out if we can do (real, not just with content cut out) swapped pure/sub and corruption/initiative ("dom" with many quotation marks) routes with jessica, probably not however since when you try to do the latter deborah still says that mc is keeping jessica submissive to do what he wants with her, which does make the variables feel less impactful. I could be wrong though. note: the "original" routes are pure/initiative ("dom") and corruption/sub.
petergriffindor2024-10-15★★★★★
Long winded boring story with very basic writing, 90% of the game is an idiot talking to himself or hallucinating about very simple situations, looking at a house takes 8 minutes checking each window, of course the complete imbecile MC can't even break a window, but can use a crowbar to pry it open, which is harder to do than throw a rock at a glass panel, the graphics are good, but you can make choices that result in not seeing a single lewd scene, do yourself a favor and skip this if you like quality games
Gwiffin2024-10-14★★★★★
Incredible game with incredible potential. Art is great, the story is great, the characters (though few) are great. I also enjoy the sandbox aspect, it's not annoying like some games, and fairly straightforward.
Deleted member 531572024-10-14★★★★★
Game has great potential. There are lots of path and ways to proceed forward with the plot. The scenes that already exist are very hot and are well made. Influencing Jessica is such a good mechanic, you can turn her into anything you like : Submission, high initiative, corrupted, or innocent and more. Those directions are not binary, so you can still have a happy, and safe Jessica while making her a submissive and obedient. The only thing I do not like is the hallucination scenes with the Imaginary girl that keeps propping up and ruining gameplay. The game should focus most of its content on influencing Jessica, not playing with imaginary friends.
