A Honest review Overall, I enjoyed this game. It has an interesting theme and, for the most part, it is developed quite well, although the story progresses a bit faster than it probably should. The production quality is generally good, and it's clear that a lot of effort went into the presentation. However, there are a few aspects that I didn't like. For example, the snow looks noticeably artificial. Even when snowballs are thrown, they bounce and fall apart like solid objects instead of behaving like real snow, which breaks immersion. I was also disappointed by the unnecessary use of AI-generated cinematics. Some scenes start with real footage and then suddenly switch to AI-generated visuals, and the transition is very noticeable. Personally, I think those moments would have worked much better as illustrated comic-style sequences, similar to what was done during the ending. That artistic approach looked great, fit the atmosphere better, and felt much more cohesive. What I truly disliked, however, was the dice system. While it is an interesting mechanic and does add a role-playing element, failing a roll often means an immediate game over, forcing you to repeat the same section until you get a favorable result. Because of this, the golden dice become almost pointless since you can simply retry indefinitely with the regular dice until luck is on your side. It becomes especially frustrating when the game asks for several consecutive rolls with high score requirements. Another issue is the game's performance. The visual quality and camera work are excellent, but there are frequent moments where the game stutters, almost as if it is struggling to load the next scene while maintaining smooth performance. These interruptions can be quite noticeable and take away from the overall experience. Despite these issues, I still think it's a good game with a unique premise and several memorable moments. It just needed a bit more polish in some areas to truly reach its full potential. I would also love to see a sequel. The ending leaves several threads unresolved, especially regarding Reina, and it feels like there is still more story left to tell. I think a second installment could build on the strengths of the first game and further develop both its world and characters.

its ok. its worth when you buy it on sale. 5/10. you can for sure notice the budget. story starts good but ends really bad, its quite disappointing. not sure if im correct but I have noticed allot of AI use for scenes, for me this just doesnt sit right. someone else commented it too that the POV is quite confusing, it seems they werent sure which one to use, first and 3th person pov randomly changes. ah... the sub translation its... something, better turn it off and listen to some music. not sure why but when you turn it to english you get bugs, especially in chapter 4 with the phone scenes, I almost refunded the game at this point. I hope the developer will fix this for future buyers. (to fix these bugs, set the language to the original) PS: add an setting for music volume, at one point it was so loud I had to turn the video volume to 0. I love the concept of the game tho, I hope the developer will learn and gets an bigger budget for a 2th game>?? Anyways, for what it cost its not bad and worth the time. :)

SubZero proves that we need more post-apocalyptic romance FMVs. It demonstrates this with an excellent setting, strong acting, and the courage to stay grounded. Sadly, its dice component misses the mark, it is too linear, and the story has unfinished business. You play as a warehouse stock-person, Leo (Wu Yi), whose best friend owes money to loan sharks. After a violent encounter with them, you let his sister stay at your apartment for her protection. Unfortunately, unseasonal blizzards appear and a virus outbreak threatens society, causing lockdowns. It is fantastic how measured the story is early on. The game is not afraid to slow down and be a simulation of ground-zero. Roughly half the game transpires before the first zombie appears. This pace and setting also facilitates some different romance. Your friend’s sister, Molly (Li Meng), spends time with you in the apartment. Her presence creates a glorious blend of slice-of-life and end-of-the-world. It is made even stronger because the veteran FMV actress, Zhu Zhilin, is phenomenal at being loyal, vulnerable, and rebellious. In the back half, the other two love interests dominate. Erlinda (Meng Kelan) has broken from a biotech company to protect something important. She has no time for romance, or does she? Reina (Leina) believes she’s bad luck but is super energetic and your best cheerleader. These two are a potent mix due to their contrast and needed more screen time. There are two big issues with the narrative though, and neither is immediately evident. First, it is way too linear, with some illusion of choice. Second, it is not finished. It doesn’t end badly, like on a cliffhanger, but there are major narrative threads left wide open. SubZero’s other blemish is its RPG style dice rolling gameplay. Dice rolls basically replace every QTE. Buffs raise or lower roll values, but are generally irrelevant due to linearity. Roll higher than what is required and you advance. Roll lower and you die, and must retry. Scenes can have many rolls in sequence and each takes you out of the action. Some offer very low odds, like the finale, and it makes replaying the game unpleasant. Perhaps a single roll could have been used before each action scene, with failures creating harder QTEs. In any case, the dice rolling aspect is a negative overall. Thankfully the game does use clear live on-set audio. It is also quite funny, which helps mitigate issues that can arise with the darker theme. There are some jarring AI videos but most are short to fill gaps. SubZero is not flawless, but still a good pick if you like zombies and romance. The acting, humor, and juxtaposition are good, but the linear and incomplete narrative hurt, even more with the annoying dice rolling. At least the post-apocalyptic setting breaks from the mundane in other FMV dating sims. And hopefully, when it comes to finding love at the end of the world, SubZero is just the tip of the iceberg.

The story is good, all the main cast acting is good too except the ML (us), the ML (us) voice is so weird like a nerd who never socialze with ppl. The director should cast different man for the ML voice. so this gave overall is 7/10.

Apart from the obvious bugs that affects gameplay. I think this is a 5/10 game at most. Positives: They utilised two new elements that FMV games doesn't usually have, zombies and scenes recorded during winter. The female leads themselves are fine, the main girl in this game has appeared in two other FMV games prior to this. Negatives: They rely on AI generated scenes too much, there's a stark differences in some of the scenes which affects immersion. The POV shot is confusing. The director couldn't decide if he wants a first person POV or third person POV? It is confusing to see both POVs getting mixed up in continuous shots. The storyline felt flat. Good premise but the story didn't resolve at the end of the game. The dice mechanics is completely unnecessary. Action scenes which FMV games usually default to QTE are replaced by dice rolling which is pointless. There's barely any choices that you can make throughout the game as well. Overall 5/10. Would i recommend it? Probably for veteran FMV players who wants to add games to their collection.
