Pretty mediocre
I'm gonna keep this one pretty short
The good:
-Renders
pretty high quality, some faces are a bit weird but everything else is great. the art style is consistent and well executed.
The Mediocre:
-Most other things
The gameplay (sandbox and a bit of resource management I guess?) is pretty uninteresting, getting around and handling menus is just bearable but definitely far from great, there's a very major focus on impregnation, plenty of characters with multiple (corruption or romance) paths for some.
The bad:
-Writing
It's just bad.
The dialogs are mind numbing, the characters are shallow, uninteresting and hardly believable. the story is... there, for some reason, and mostly feels like a tool to provide some gameplay and different endings.
On corruption paths things go from 0 to 100 in a millisecond - characters turn from people to depraved cum-addicted begging bimbos in a heartbeat, the moment you pick the "corruption" option, it was so ridiculous I had a good laugh multiple times.
The romance paths are so uninteresting and suffers from the 0 to 100 issue I mostly skipped them after seeing how things goes.
Honestly, when it comes to the writing - S.H.E.L.T.E.R barely has any excuse having dialogue instead of being a gallery mod.
TL;DR -
good renders, BAD writing, probably an OK choice if you're impregnation fan, otherwise its a barely serviceable sandbox game that you may wanna skip in favor of a gallery mod or rush through if you're looking to kill a couple of hours.
