Why does it matter if you are using ren'py or not? You will be using some engine in any case, even if it's html with some buttons.

Pretty much what FunDi said. Ren'Py is the vehicle you use to tell your story. That most people use it for static images doesn't mean you can't easily use it for an interactive video game. Other options would be using HTML or Unity. But based on your post I'd say that Ren'Py is your best bet as it is very beginner friendly. Maybe rude to make assumptions but I think you don't have much programming experience.
That being said interactive video? That sounds very difficult. Where do you expect to get the videos from and how do you want to keep it consistent? I mean there are lots of games using real porn gifs which usually makes a mess of locations and even the people in the scene. In that case most players roll with it because it serves as flavour to the text that is the main body of the game.
If you wanted to use real porn how will you have your players immersed in the story? Making animations is pretty much out of the question (unless you are a professional animator who doesn't have to work a day job to get by).
Lastly voice overs are very expensive. even at the very cheap side of $15 per 100 words (assuming you want commercial rights) you're looking at thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars for even a VERY short game. Though I'm assuming your English isn't good enough to do the voice over yourself. Or can't round up some friends to do the voice over with/for you. (though that would probably impact the quality as most people lack good quality audio equipment).
F95 won't have a problem with the game otherwise though.
Anyway I'd say your plans are unrealistic unless you want to star in your own porn game and have friends willing to do the same. Using the camera on your phone and having some friends to have fun with is cheap. In any other scenario it is not happening in any way that I can see. But hey, feel free to prove me wrong.

Oh wow... I'm imagining an H-game with amateur grindcore self-shot videoclips where the actors/actresses are the "dev and friends". There are already amateur couples who are happy to film and post themselves on various [*]-Hub platforms.... why not make a game!!!
hopefully the stars are not too hideous (which rules me out, lol) but just imagine the potential for p*treon supporter interaction and feedback about content!!! it's a potential gold mine!
You heard it here first guys, the future of adult gaming.

I don't want to break your dream but, amateur models set aside, this was already made in the 90's and early 00's by XXX studios. It had its public at this time, but were relatively limited in the end, due to a lack of effective story to links all the scenes together.

Yeah FMV was all the rage for a time. CD quality video! Can you imagine! It's amazing!

It was amazing, was.
Now that porn movies are available from everywhere, while games have stories, I'm not sure that I would be as thrilled as I was at this time.

ah I was a little sarcastic but yeah it was. I clearly remember how impressed I was as a kid by the city backgrounds in Heroes of Might and Magic III.

It wasn't just the 90's...
I don't recall the name of the studio, but there's at least one porn website that currently has a "pick the next scene" type links for streaming. Each scene is filmed as a self contained bit of action. The viewer can pick what happens next, in any order and choosing to repeat or skip any scene they like. It's not a VN style "choose your own adventure"... in so much as the structure means there can't be any cohesive story - although I presume there are scenes that can't be picked again (like introductions, etc).
I imagine the difficulty is the transitions. Any interruption (even if it's just picking the next scene) could so easily break the immersion. I think the website I'm thinking of does "quick fade to white" between scenes.
Anyway, it clearly has a market - albeit difficult to structure the scenes.

Pretty much what it was at this time.
One I more or less remember was following the day of a salesman. You had a road with houses, and you could choose which one visit next. With an actor (badly) playing the transition parts with thinks like "oh, I think I will visit this house now, it's a beautiful house, they are surely rich, I'll sell many thing and my boss will be happy". It's a made up quote, but his really lines were really not better than this
And they were inventive too, it wasn't always the said salesman fucking the poor woman living here. Sometimes no one answered when he rang the bell, and he could looks through a window to see what they were doing ; then you would see things like solo scenes, couple scenes or lesbians ones.
And this was one of the most imaginative.
I don't know for the website, but back in time they didn't bothered much with this. I don't remind them saying it out loud, but it was clear that the only goal was to sell more sex. As long as the "player" was still hard, nothing else mattered.
But is it really the same than for games available here ? I guess it's more for people who aren't aware that there's "real" +18 games and just search a bit more variety in their porn.
Yeah I remember some of those old "games". It's not exactly what I was thinking...
The concept in my mind is more like the HTML style games (Paradise Found) for example, but rather than pulling together random clips from other porn movies, the images and short videos could come from an amateur couple. They wouldn't have to do any acting, just basically what you see on PH community vids... and all the story could be developed in the text/choices.

Obviously Life Selector games come to my mind, featuring some well-known pornstars, although I never played them so I don't know if there's an actual story linking the scenes. Years ago I did play some of the

free-games, with Russian and British wannabe porn actress; it seems that most of those games were actually designed and shot as such because there are some non-sexual parts also filmed, but I wouldn't bet on it
