Embark on an extraordinary journey with Stranded in Space, an adult, erotic Visual Novel that transports players to a spaceship brimming with women. With an intriguing blend of humor, sci-fi elements, and a wealth of sexual encounters, this game offers an expansive and immersive story, allowing players to build their very own harem through a multitude of choices. Let us delve into the captivating aspects of this unique gaming experience.

Note: This is a pre-release/Early Access review which means that it can easily get out-dated once the game is out. The developers also mentioned that the entire game plot is incomplete as of now and they are working towards completing it for release.



Although I couldn’t experience the whole storyline, here is what I was able to grasp from what I’ve played and from their Steam store page description:


Stranded in Space showcases an impressive array of features designed to keep players engaged throughout their journey. The game introduces over 20 meticulously crafted female characters, each possessing unique stories and personalities. No character feels disposable, ensuring that every interaction holds depth and meaning. With an expansive word count exceeding 400,000, accompanied by a visually rich collection of 10,000+ images and over 150 animations, the game promises a visually stunning experience. The outcome of your decisions significantly impacts the narrative, leading to divergent scenes and exclusive content, providing a personalized gameplay experience. Engross yourself in the captivating world of Stranded in Space for an estimated 15-20 hours, navigating an intricate laptop chat system featuring mini-games and collectible pictures, along with an intriguing escape room, replete with puzzles and unlockables.


The game doesn’t fail to give the users high quality renders and animations. I know that they said that they have over 150 animations but I still feel like it wouldn’t hurt to add more. Dynamic scenes are what can keep players hooked to the game rather than static images. The sound design is on par with other VNs. There is a lack of voice-overs and they play random sound effects whenever they deem fit.

• Gripping storyline interweaving mystery and sci-fi elements.
  
• Meticulously developed female characters, each with their own engaging stories.
  
• Abundance of sexual content, catering to adult-oriented gameplay.
  
• Meaningful choices resulting in divergent scenes and exclusive content.
  
• Immense amount of content, boasting over 400,000 words, 10,000+ images, and 150+ animations.
  
• Engaging gameplay mechanics, including a laptop chat system and an immersive escape room.

• Not really a con but since the game is incomplete, I’ve been left on a cliff-hanger. I hate cliff-hangers.
  
• They could add achievements which gives players more of a reason to grind the game and explore other choices.
  
• Could have a better sound design done.
  
• Voice overs can give the players a more immersive feel.

Stranded in Space presents an enthralling and immersive experience for enthusiasts of adult, erotic Visual Novels. With its captivating storyline, intricately developed characters, and an abundance of sexual encounters, the game provides players with a unique opportunity to traverse an expansive and mysterious world. The vast volume of content, coupled with visually stunning visuals and a decent audio design, guarantees a captivating and aesthetically pleasing adventure. Those who seek an engaging narrative and the chance to construct their own harem will discover Stranded in Space to be an irresistible and fulfilling gaming experience.

Rating: 7.5/10

Stranded in Space com certeza é um jogo bem trabalhado.
A história é uma mistura do plot do filme Passageiros, onde os tripulantes estão dormindo em criogenia dentro de uma nave enquanto ela percorre o seu destino. Porém, algo dá errado no sistema e os tripulantes começam a acordar. Também tem um leve elemento de Clube da Luta, só que o Tyler Durden imaginário nesse caso é um maníaco sexual.
Os gráficos são bons e o enredo tem um potencial bem elevado.

No entanto, o grande risco que esse jogo corre é a quantidade de personagens. Ele peca MUITO pelo excesso. Até o momento, eu cheguei em pouco mais da metade do jogo e, além do personagem principal, temos outras DEZESSEIS MULHERES A BORDO (com espaço para mais). Isso fora as personagens que não estão dentro desse cenário principal, mas que fazem parte da história (aparecendo em flashbacks, por exemplo). Por conta disso, existem dois caminhos que são mais prováveis:
1. O jogo desenvolve porcamente todas as personagens pra ficar mais dinâmico;
2. O jogo tenta desenvolver todas, e fica muito mais lento.

Stranded in Space entra na segunda opção. Ainda assim, ele não consegue fazer isso de uma maneira 100% eficiente. O jogo funciona num esquema de dias, e em cada dia a história avança um pouco com algumas das garotas, numa espécie de rodízio. Como o jogo tenta dar atenção pra todas, se você vê uma garota no Dia 1, por exemplo, é provável que só volte a vê-la no Dia 3 ou Dia 4, onde você nem lembra mais em que passo estava com ela.
Além disso, como você fica desenvolvendo cada personagem de pouquinho em pouquinho, a sensação de que a história está se arrastando é enorme.

O jogo é bom e interessante, a história tem bom potencial, mas acredito que ela tropeça na própria ousadia. Recomendo pegar numa promoção e jogar apenas quando estiver com tempo e paciência pra dar a atenção que o jogo precisa.

Fantastic writing, poor animations. I'm recommending this one but ONLY if you know that you very highly value character development over good renders and animations.

This game had me agonizing over minor dialogue choices that had zero effect on the story because I didn't want to hurt a fictional characters feelings and THAT is what I look for in an AVN. There's a ton of terrible to unpack here though so before you buy this one, I feel I need to warn you of a few things. The MC's penis is weirdly elongated. It's like somebody tried to enlarge a penis in photoshop and forgot to hold shift. It looks like an Olive Garden bread stick with a thumb on the end. Some of the women's nipples look like balloon knots. I don't mean they look like butt holes, I mean they look like somebody blew up their breasts with air and then tied them off at the nipple. You'll know exactly what I'm talking about if you buy this and see it. Animations aren't great. Lot of weird titty physics going on. The story is pretty linear for an adult game. There are a few meaningful choices but not as many as I would expect. The game is also very wordy. Even for someone like me who enjoys a good story in these porn games. You often flash back to memories of your past and I just did not care one bit about the memories. I was invested in the girls on the ship and it always felt like the memory sequences were taking away time with them. You also do a nightly recap with your sidekick every night and while I love Paige to death and I think she's one of the best AVN sidekicks out there, the recaps felt like filler fluff. Last note, not enough butt stuff.

Now the reasons you should buy this game. As I stated earlier, the writing and character development are phenomenal. Some of the girls are an absolute trip and it's hilarious, other girls are very sweet and kind and it's heart warming. The writing made me laugh several times throughout. You start each day with a laptop session where there is a group chat with the girls that never failed to make me smile and you can also engage in one on one conversations that are almost always rewarding. Most AVN's have a fun side kick and this one has Paige, and AI that lives inside your head. She's hilarious. Paige is joining Derrick (Being a ♥♥♥), Kendra (Artemis), and Darcy (Ripples) as my top side kicks of all time. The story is fairly interesting and is only bogged down by the memory sequences. Stranded in Space feels like a project that the developer was passionate about but does not yet have the technical skills to produce good animations and renders. I highly prefer this scenario to all of these (18+) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ games where the developer has a ton of technical skill and zero love for their own product. Last note, MC get's rimmed by one of the girls and that's my jam so A+ there.

If you find that you enjoyed this one and appearance doesn't mean as much to you as story, then I would recommend checking out "Eternium" and "Ripples". Can't get 'em on steam and they use Honey Select (which sucks) but both games are well worth seeking out.

If you want to stay on steam and you don't mind a more linear experience than most graphic novels, I would suggest "Projekt Passion"

If you're the opposite of me and you don't give a crap about story and you just want really good animations but still done by a developer that cares about their game then check out "F.I.L.F" I didn't care for the game but the animations were on point and it's obvious the developer cared about the project.

Just some background info, I've been a Patreon supporter of the Dev for a long time and initially played the story on Android before getting a PC. So I have plenty of time invested in the story multiple times.
My MAJOR point in this review is to get people to understand that this is a AVN (Animated Visual Novel) NOT A GAME!
There is a lot of negativity regarding a lot of text in the reviews but if you were to read an actual novel what do you expect?
WildMan did a great job with character development considering how many characters are actually involved. The additional text present is there to give each character a defined personality and quirks.
The concept and writing to come up with the cast is top notch considering all this came out of only 1 persons head!
The animations for the intimate interactions are actually better than some of the best rated AVN's on Steam.
The additional content such as laptop conversations and daily questions is amazing and helps to provide a different perspective of the characters on how they interact with each other as a group not just with the MC.
If you are looking for a genuine story not just a game or even fap game....I would highly recommend Stranded in Space.
Things to take note:
Individual developer, everything is done by one person.
This is a project of passion while the Dev has a day job.
This is the Dev's first ever project.
All things considered the result is amazing and it should be recognised as so for a first ever try!
Also WildMan is active on Discord and Patreon and always communicates with his supporters, not your typical Dev that goes quiet!
Highly recommend!

Looking at some of the negative reviews, I was skeptical. Now, at about ten hours, I was so bothered by those reviews that I felt compelled to leave my first review.

Here are my pros. Incredible writing, attention to detail, character work...this game has some of the best writing I've seen in an AVN. Oh, and it's hilarious. Seriously, it's hilarious. Why haven't any of the reviews mentioned this? This is the funniest AVN I've played, bar none. The group chats, Sasha, Gigi, Camila, Ishani, heck, even a few of the interactions with Paige had me wheezing.

The renders are mostly good, though there are some rough ones occasionally, especially in the beginning. The animations are okay. I don't think they're as bad as the negative reviews would have you believe, but they're not great.

Bottom line, if you value characters, writing, story, and a fun world to spend time in, then this game is for you. If you just want to fap, then this game might not be for you.

P.S. Ishani better not be the culprit, Dev.

Disclaimer: My playtime is short cause I already played this before its steam release.

Stranded in Space is a good space avn in which you and a bunch of women are stranded together on a spaceship. It is heavily focused on you the mc and your relationship building with all those women. There are teens, milfs and anything in between. It is also a pretty standard harem I would say, but the relationship building, which is probably the biggest part of this game, is really quite nice and especially since there really are a varied assortment of women and personalities. This at the same time means that the majority of the game is dialogue between the characters which for some of you will be too much. For me I quite like it and the story also has some other aspects to it that give this an overall interesting setting. The game also has some choices that will actively impact your relationships with all the women that will really make a noticeable difference. Graphic wise it isn’t the best avn, but the models and the renders are good, and it at least offers some alright animations. I wouldn’t recommend getting the game for just the sex scenes though as it really is more focused on the writing and the dialogue and relationships. That part however is quite nice and there is also a lot of it.

The overall quality of the game is also good, and the polishing is good. For the price you can’t really go wrong if you are interested in the setting and you enjoy a lot of good dialogue and don’t need a vn to have constant exciting action, even if there is some of that in this, but it really isn’t the majority.

I also was pleasantly surprised with the release because the steam version really had some nice quality of life improvements for trying multiple paths for example.

So, Stranded In Space™ ... This is not your average AVN. This is propelled by Dialogue, both inner dialogue and outer dialogue. Where this AVN comes from dialogue has Girth. Alright, I'm a fanboy, at least a little, I've been a supporter on another platform for a while because I really enjoy the characters and their personalities. Now, I've looked through some of the other reviews... ye gods and little fishes, sometimes it feels like people want the MC to be a cardboard cut out. Lemme explain...

One of the things that I've seen is that people think the MC is disingenuous, like he's just saying whatever he feels he needs to in order to get everyone to sleep with him. Everyone, everyone is more than just one person. You have your group of friends you like to just hang out and chill with, you have your friends you party with, you have friends you go out drinking with on Friday nights... usually how you behave around these different groups of friends can be slightly different. With your hang and chill friends you're more mellow and relaxed, with your party animal friends... well, you're likely less chill. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be different friend groups. Sunday through Thursday you're the responsible adult who doesn't party and just chills and takes it easy because you got work in the morning. Friday night though....

And that's what folks don't seem to understand, the MC isn't lying, he's just showing different aspects of his personality to different people.

Then you've got the complaint that it's too wordy. Okay, I get it, maybe you don't need the recap at the end of each day, but what if you were playing and you put this away for a few days, maybe when you come back you *do* need a little reminder? Maybe not, maybe I'm just old and my memory is going down a dark hole. But that's just one example of where it gets a little wordy, I'm sure there are people sitting there trying to *cough* enjoy themselves *cough* who wish the dialogue would just hurry by so we can get to the next bit of smut. I get that, I really do, but honestly the characters are great, the banter is great. The banter and the dialogue are what make this game worth playing (imo). Taking it further the fact that you really get to know the characters makes the game worth playing. Now, sure, if the game only had 4 or 5 women you could get to know everyone with a lot less dialogue. Like, 1/5th as much dialogue because you'd have 1/5th as many women to get to know. When you have the sheer number of women (something like 20+ that you have some kind of sexcapades with) that this game offers, getting to know everyone is going to take some time. And some dialogue.

All that aside, lemme tell you some of the other things I like here...

• A wide variety of women so there's someone for every taste
  
• Engaging dialogue that shows you who the characters are
  
• An escape from managing dozens or hundreds of choices to get to the result you want
  
• Multiple ways to engage with the women in game
  
• A story full of mystery and intrigue
  
• Witty Banter
  
• A perverted AI who lives in my head
  
• Tough Choices!! While this game doesn't inundate you with hundreds of meaningless choices, it does give you some Major Choices, and some of them are really tough choices.

All in all if you're looking to just dash from one sexcapade to another, this probably isn't your game. On the other hand if you have the emotional maturity to understand how people behave, and you enjoy a story with great characters, silly puns, thrown in with a splash of wit and humor and mystery this should be right up your alley.

Something to know about this game is: at times it is necessary to skip dialogue. The skip button lets you fly through the endless commentary. The game play time is extensive, well worth the price. It is deff one of the better games, Nothing is perfect, and there may be a few things lacking in this game, but overall it is worth the play. The story-line is interesting, and the commentary can actually make you lol from the humor. It is well written ... to the point you wonder just how much time they dedicated to commentary ... it is the most extensive I have ever seen in a game like this. I would buy this game a second time.

This game is being released in Early Access. That means that the game may, or may not, change from its current state.

Stranded in Space is a RenPy adventure visual novel with a plethora of mini games.

You wake up on a bed feeling groggy and not in full control of your senses. A woman walks up and says that you're not supposed to be awake, steps out of the room, closes the door and releases a gas that puts you back to sleep. You wake up a while later. It seems that you have been in cryostasis.

The woman who put you back to sleep is Skylar Servais. Skylar is a doctor. She informs you that you are on the spaceship Endurance. That starts to bring back some of your memories, you're headed to Elysium. The year is 2169. You're 21 years old. The Endurance left earth in 2159 and is a transport ship will 1,000 females aboard. Obviously, you weren't supposed to be on this ship.

The journey to Elysium takes just over 12 years, you were only in cryostasis for ten years and three months. Instead of being woken up a couple of weeks before arriving you were woken up 21 months before arriving, or 21 months if the trip was traveling at full speed, it isn't. Current arrival time is almost three years. There are currently 16 people who were woken early, you and 15 women. The women vary in age from 18 to 42.

What happens on the Endurance…stays on the Endurance.

The game is currently 12GB in size. Since it is early access this is only likely to increase. Not that the size is a good thing or a bad thing, just it is very large for a visual novel with a lot of minigames, all optional. Not doing the minigames will come at a cost of less content seen. I classify this as an adventure visual novel, but the paths are very straight forward. You will come to branches called Major Choice, which have a major effect on the story. Currently there are seven major choices.

There are preferences to Skip Group Chat Delay, Sex Scene Continue Button, and Skip Sex Scene Button. I highly recommend using the first two, unless you want to have to press a button to stop the sex scene animations.

The game starts off with some notes from the developer. After a brief introduction you give your character's name, no default listed. If you want to change the name later you can change it in the Preferences menu.

The first day you are given a tour of the ship and introduced to all of the women currently awake and P.A.I.G.E. P.A.I.G.E. stands for Personal Artificial Intelligence Generation Echo. P.A.I.G.E. is actually inside your head.

The third day you finally use your laptop. Everything on the laptop is optional, and once you close it for the day you can't use it until the next day. You can message the women individually on the laptop, if they are online. There is also a group chat. Later in the game profiles are added for the girls, along with a daily question.

From then on you have your normal day being on the laptop in the morning. Using the laptop will normally unlock a number of images from the women on the ship, some lewd, some not. After you finish on the laptop you will do things on the ship during the day. There is no schedule to manage, everything works out. At the end of the day you have a daily debrief with P.A.I.G.E. before you go to sleep.

Day 7 there is a hidden image "puzzle" the image is 30x17 pixels, to give you an idea of what you're looking for, about the size of three or four letters in this review. As shown here image is on the right leg. The hidden image is random, so it can be in any image and in different locations. This is the worst kind of puzzle because until you find it, you don't know exactly what you're looking for.

The game begins slowly, the first scene isn't until Day 3, the second on Day 5, and then things start picking up. The days become longer as the game progresses and more events happen. So, you will breeze through the first few days and then things will move slower.

During the course of the game there are 17 different women on the ship and you recall memories of your past with even more women. The women differ in age, personality and body type. The personalities is one of the issues I have with the game, some of them are just too silly. I'd prefer a more serious take, but that's me. Most of the events are handjobs or oral. The older women tend to go farther. This makes sense in the story sense as these women don't know you very well.

The mini games. There are a number of mini games that you can play. There are a few on the laptop that unlock starting on day 9. The first is a slider puzzle, you have a puzzle and you slide the pieces around until it is complete. Then there is a match two game where cards appear on the board and you must match them out before running out of moves. I'm not a fan of matching games and used a screenshot program to track the cards for me. There is one card on the board that does not have a match, the game is complete when you match all but the last card. Next there is an event matching game. Statement flow from the right side of the screen and you have to match them with the day they occurred. Doing all three of those puzzles will earn you an image. I didn't feel like taking the time to finish the event matching. Next, there is an escape room puzzle where you must find the door code to escape. When I say must find, that's what I mean, you can't have three numbers and guess the fourth. As with many of the events in this game the number will be random.

There is also a 20 question personality test on day 17, which will most likely affect things later in the game.

The Gallery will show you the scenes and the days they occur. Once you have experience the scene you will be able to view it in the gallery.

A huge, 12GB currently, adventure visual novel with a story, minigames, and much more. The story is pretty railroad, the adventure part comes when selecting major story branching options.

It's a decent enough visual novel. But someone desperately needs to edit the dialogue down. It's just too much. It's not a bad game, and the animations are decent enough. But Jesus Christ, whoever wrote this loves to write.
