VN - Ren'Py - Artemis [v0.5.1] [digi.B]

Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Good storyline and most of the time i was spent laughing at the funny dialogue. And P.S his ex love interest in the game looks exactly like Alexandra Daddario and that is a huge plus . I was actually very dissapointed when the newest release was over great job DEV ! The character designs are beautiful and well written all around 10/10

Version 0.1.2

Art: Nothing special, neither renders nor animations stand out and both are average to other games on this site.

Story: Meh, again average. It attempts to do something different but it doesn't really make sense. Don't think I'm interested enough to play upcoming chapters.

Well, holy shit. If Porn games had AAA releases they'd be like this.
Absolute quality all around.
Writing, characterization, renders, animations all great.

I'm invested.

I'm required to say more, but nothing comes to mind I could be critical about.
Music is also fitting the atmosphere.
Stop reading this, go play it.

I like this very much, playable and no grinding. Nice characters, though every ambitious porn game should have atleast one wide butt milf
Story is well written and fluent.
No bugs.
Overall game just suck me in like great games do.

Looking forward to the sequel.

The dev is a fucking legend. This is definetly by far the best game i've played. Amazing animations andrenders. Incredibly good writing. The humour is on point. And it even has good, fitting sountracks. Honestly, it's an amazing game. Applause do the dev.

Fantastic game! Everything feels just a step above just about all the other games on here, and once I was done with the game, I kept thinking about it afterward and feeling sad that I couldn't go back to that world and stay in it a little longer. I can't wait to see where it goes. Keep up the great work, devs!

I'll start with the positives:
- Good selection of music;
- Good production value, although it's fairly inconsistent. Some renders look SD while others look UHD.. but all in all pretty good;
Neutral things:
- The "main" story. Guys gets fucked over by ex. Guy takes a long time to recover. Guy (re)meets girl that sweeps him off his feet,(more about that girl down below) with a sci fi twist.
Negative:
- Events make little to no sense. There're big-shot corporate types that spend their pastimes doing/attending collage sorority dik sucking contests with random people like it's as banal as going to the market to buy bread. It's like the author couldn't decide whether to do a collage story or a corpo story and decided to do both somehow. . . Anyway, i guess it's just more of the "can't jump on the protag's dick fast enough" type stories. I would have enjoyed it more if i didn't have to abuse my suspension of disbelief so much.
- The "main" love interest (at least in chapter one). Other than her looks i would't touch that with a ten foot pole. Who thinks people with possiblly bipolar personality disorders AND abusive demenour are attractive?? It ain't funny and it ain't cute. SMH. Author probably tried to make a colorful character and went about the worst possible way of doing it.
Other minor things like pacing (some scenes end and start too abrupt or sudden like there's something missing in-between)

Overall, just not impressed. Much better alternatives.
2/5

This is no doubt one of the best games on here.
The humor is fantastic, genuinely made me forcefully exhale through my nose. The fact that the texting is animated is just one of the small details that raises the quality enormously. Story-wise it is quite clever so far, very creative story telling, good introduction of new characters and good take on the emotional distress a woman can cause a man. Can't wait for the next updates, I have high hopes

Excellent Start! (NO SPOILER REVIEW)

Gotta admit, Wasn't expecting much going into the game but i was delightfully surprised at what i just experienced. While the renders, animations and music are above average what really makes this good is the amazing story and great characters (both the male MC and female love interests we're done exceptionally well).

The only downside to the game is that you will love most of these girls so much that its going to be extremely hard for you to pick one down the road.

Awesome renders and the story that IS there seems really intruiging. From what i can tell the characters arent just going to be cliches or completely surface level either. Almost certainly the best 0.1 i have seen.

The best I have seen so far...

The story is well written, at least your portrayal of that story is presented in an easy to follow format.

The animations are good, bordering great. Just add a bit more "randomness" to the bodily motions, to make it more human.

The models are good, bordering on great. Just add some more variety, some slim, some thick, different body part sizes.

The scenes are all original i think, and look great. Transitions are smooth.

The sex isnt over done. This isnt a porn game, this is an adult story where what is seen is what you would see. Kudos, that isnt easy to balance.

The sound is great, and is setup perfectly to the story. I got teary eyes there at the end, before i realized you had successfully queued the sound to make me feel sad. Perfect.

The humor is great, had me laughing several times. The playing with emotions isnt over done, and fits the story well.

I am just really excited to see something of this obvious quality. I cant wait to see the next chapter. I am even considering looking them up on patreon and donating, which is huge considering i am disabled living on food stamps and HUD.

Congratulations... and thank you for sharing your work with the rest of us.

I'm giving this game 5 stars as of Chapter 1

Graphics: 5
Characters: 5
Plot: 5
Action: 4

Graphics: 5
It is clear the developer spends a lot time posing and giving the characters a personality. Which is nice to see. The models are nice and high quality as well as the scenes and backgrounds.

Characters: 5
The writing is top notch and the developer has a great sense of humor. All of the characters have depth and aren't just there for the sex. The main antagonist is a female character you meet instantly and other than her looks, she has no redeeming qualities...perfect for a antagonist. All the love interests have very different personalities, so you can pick and choose the one that suits your play style.

Plot: 5
As you start the game, you really aren't sure what the actual plot of the game is. The developer spends time building the characters and at the end of the first chapter you finally know what the plot is. Without giving anything away, I will say, that it seems to be a fairly original plot that isn't about getting laid, but revenge. Along the way, you meet the other characters and you help them, they help you. All in all, it was a refreshing story.

Action: 4
It's the first release of the game, so clearly there won't be too much action. You start the game out with a sex scene. Later, you do get to have sex with one love interest, if you play your cards right. And by default, you get a blow job. So there is some action, but this isn't an orgy like some other games.

Summary:
I think this developer has hit a jackpot with this game. It's got the graphics, humor, story and a great plot. You won't regret trying out this game.

[As of Ch 1]


The Good:
- Good Render
- Good Animations
- Girls are nice
- Story is intriguing and unique
- Funny dialogues

The Bad:
- The water on skin effects are bad (looks like some kind of skin disease)


Conclusion:
High Potential Game.
4.5/5.

Extremely enjoyable, fundamentally because the mc is not only very well written but has a really well balanced character. As others have said the line between pathos, humor, satire and self effacement is tiptoed perfectly. The adventures are quirky too which suits the personalities of the rest of the cast, especially Kindra who, for me, deserves a special mention.

Looking forward to the future with this one. It's a great VN and the Dev deserves every plaudit he is getting. Thanks a bunch digi.B. The pleasure's been all mine.

Honestly wasn't expecting much from this game. Simply downloaded it because I was bored. But the storyline was so good and I like the main character and the supporting characters. Normally I would skip a lot of things but this one is one of the games that I read through the conversations and plots. Good potential game here for me.

So far, it has been great! Nice breath of air when it comes to jokes and general story content. Seen a lot of copy and pastes before, this is something new!
Another plus, the MC is actually kind of relatable in a way. The self deprecating but trying to uplift others is great. Very likeable.

Kindra and Koko just feel right. Waiting to dive deeper into the background story of her. Looking forward to seeing more interactions between her and Cassandra as well.

Version reviewed: 0.1.2

This is by far the most genuine fun I've had reading through a VN in forever, because of its clever writing and the attention that has been given in bringing a cast of vibrant, expressive characters to life without going completely overboard with it. There's a lot of games on this site that try way too hard to be funny or quirky and fail miserably in their intent. I'm happy to report that Artemis isn't one of them. Of course when it comes to humor it's all about subjectivity, but personally I feel like the dev did an excellent job in drawing the line in this sense.

The story in and of itself is a bit all over the place, but it's serviceable, and more importantly doesn't take itself too seriously. What really shines here is the cast of characters, their well crafted and diverse personalities and their interactions. I realize that I'm hammering the point home here, but the fact is that this VN is just really fun to read, to the point where the whole porn side of it just feels like an added bonus to me. And not a poorly made one at that, I should probably mention for the whole "boobs first" crowd.

With this I'm pretty sure I paid Artemis the biggest compliment this kind of game could possibly get, so why the 4 stars? I could say that it's because I've had the non-compressed version of it crash on me multiple times for whatever reason, something that has never happened with any other game, not even with the biggest ones. But the truth is, I'm saving that fifth star for later. This is an outstanding start and I'm 100% strapped in for the ride. Best of luck to the dev.

This is some good shit. Good writing, good characters, good renders. Heavily recommended for anyone that enjoys a good time. All of the characters feel alive and he existing lewds are both visually great and fun to read

My very first post/review in this site...
Had to do it ,this is so good,even with no sex scenes i would be OK with it...
So well sript ,it should be a movie ,,,for real.
Everything so far is well balance .

Artemis is a seriously impressive effort right out of the gate with first release. Beautiful renders, gorgeous girls, a compelling story, and plenty of sexytimes. Bravo Digi.B! Just take my money already.
