VN - Ren'Py - Artemis [v0.6] [digi.B]

Pros: Really good graphics and music. Some animations exist as well. It's big and lot of effort certainly went into it.

Cons: I expected it to be something more. It is labeled as sci-fi but It's actually closer to a soap opera. Yes the action goes in 2040s or so but this world is generally the same as our world. Yes, the story involves building some android but most time you do unimportant chit-chat to some gals. As others said quite a few of them really don't matter in the story and work as some kind of filler. Oh, and the erotic scenes are quite rare.
So it's easy to lose interest as it happened to me.

The game is also quite heavy in GB and happens to hang on my computer while other ones don't.

What a game! I enjoyed every bit - great story, renders, characters, smoking hot girls, well written dialogue that feels natural, MC that isn't a loser, total creep and potatohead like in many other games, nice lewd scenes, great animations, great humor and.... did I say smoking hot girls?
Eagerly awaiting more and I'm happy to support on patreon!

A masterpiece in adult VN entertainment. This game just punches at a weight class above so many other titles, it feels like a labor of love.

Heartfelt story, vulnerable and hilarious MC. I love the mental images we get from his imagination, it really makes it feel like you're the main character even though they're established in the plot. A bevy of GORGEOUS women who are constantly walking around in hot fun outfits that aren't always perved out, but super sexy nonetheless. Some great animations, lots of visual storytelling. Could go on and on.

Also some great mental health awareness and acceptance that feels really poignant in this day and age.
Just a wild slightly futuristic romp that grabs you by the balls and the heartstrings and doesn't let go until you love all the characters and cum at the same time.

Eagerly awaiting any future updates. Give me more Reina, Kindra, June, Cass and ZELDAA.

I just finished chapter 4 and holy sheit that ending !!

Kindra best girl! But something tells me that's about to change ...

Must play 10/10

review for v0.4.1
One of my favorites games. Its a story driven VN with sex sprinkled through out.
I love the author's sense of humor.
The chemistry between the characters is top notch, it has a wide range of people in the story and they are all unique and interesting, making you care about them and want to see how they interact with each other.

Story: 4/5
Its centered around the MC's trauma due to getting screwed out of a company deal by his would be fiancé. But its not a huge dramatic focus on it, instead it shapes his interactions as he tries to live as best as he can with all the interactions he has with the others around him. The main story focuses on AI and robotics and his interactions with a female sorority. It makes for some funny scenarios

Art: 5/5
The models are all unique and great, and the environment is well made. Without spoiling anything, the main "objects" in the story are rendered absolutely beautifully

Sex scenes: 4/5
They're pretty good. animations are fluid, renders are pretty hot.

Sound: 5/5
Good sound utilization, Great bg music selection

overall id give this a 5. must play

This is a fantastic visual novel. The visuals are stunning, the comedy is among the greatest I've seen, and the tale has amazing emotional depth and a likeable protagonist who goes through a realistic arc. The ladies are all fleshed out and wonderfully delightful, each in their own way, and, of course, beautifully depicted, and the author understands exactly how to pace the plot. One of the best available.

This is a great game all around. Because of its name I initially thought it would be space-themed, but it is actually quite down to earth. The dialogues are good, funny, and the raised topics are interesting. The characters are memorable and different and the main protagonist is very pleasant. Eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

If you come for a quick fap move on because this is a mostly a story driven game. And thats fine if you into this type of story but if not you will feel like you wasted your time. I feel like 10gig should have way more sex scenes than it has also the sex scenes it does have are way to short don't get me wrong the scenes are good but to short and not enough angles. Also not enough romance. The girls are pretty hot but to me the best girl is a let down because it seems she's more into women than she is into men. You can tell she may be into MC but rarely shows it which is a turn off for me. All in All it's not worth the 10Gig of space on your pc to download just for a decent story and not enough sex scenes and short ones at that.

great game. cant once agian wait for future updates love replaying it every time theres a major update. art seems to keep getting better with time. love the small but corny funny moments with the slice of normal-seriousness and not too much depresion so we all Feelsbadman 2 much haha. much support form here <3 been here for a good while and will keep being here. gl in future.

I rarely take any time writing reviews, but this time i will in hope more people will give it a chance, and not judge the game from the very start, like i did 3 times.

Like i said i dropped this game 3 times after playing about 20-30 min, cuz it didn't really catch my attention that much, well this time i just made and effort and kept going for like 8 hours straight.
Man the writing is so good, i really care about the characters, i didn't really like our MC in the start, now he is one of my favorites, i have laughed so much, i have felt emotional, shed tears, been excited for the plot and more..

So please give it a chance, the renders get better after CH1, this one is in my top 5 on this site ; )

This is a well written VN however my problem with it is that I feel like there is a LOT of content that feels irrelevant to the story.

The premise itself is interesting and unique - it is about establishing a robotics/AI based startup and I find everything related to that goal extremely interesting. Everything else however feels a bit unnecessary.

You have a whole bunch of side girls from a college and while the scenes/renders involving them are great, I simply cannot understand what was the point of adding them. It feels like filler.

The MC's backstory with his ex girlfriend is great and the resolution to that drama is also well done. However the game seems to try and drag on the drama instead of just closing that chapter of the MC's life.

Filler content and prolonged drama are what drag this game down from a 4 or even 5 stars for a 3 star game for me. I dont mind filler content in slice of life games. I dont mind drama in games that are written like a soap opera however when a game has a unique/interesting premise and when the game has a clear end goal (setting up the startup), everything else thats in there feels pointless. I just want to skip and get to the interesting bits.

I understand that character development is important and I am happy with the character development scenes we have with the MC, Kindra, Cassandra and June. It is the rest of the game's content that I have an issue with. What is the point of the INK girls? What is the point of prolonging the drama with Cassandra at the end of update 0.4 when they could have just focused on building the startup? Why move away from a unique and interesting premise to introduce more unnecessary drama? These are the questions I find myself asking when I play this game.

Setting up a startup is a massive undertaking and I feel like there is a ton of content/stories that can be told here. However this game tries its hardest not to tell those stories instead focusing on generic drama and other fluff content.

Original story, Well developed characters, everything is *muwah* Brilliant!

For the Wank-O-Meter: this game is not for a quickie, but you are in for a helluva story! (don't get me wrong, there is SEX in here, OK?, but it isn't the main focus.)

This going to be a new standard for the Top tier, Heavy hitting projects!
I would love to introduce you all to similar projects, but since it's forbidden to do this in reviews to keep reviews fair. I'm not going to, although! If you have a KEEN-EYE, there are a few shout-outs throughout the Visual Novel! (Hell! Even crossovers!)

KEEP ON GOING, digi.B THIS IS FANTASTIC!

I just got caught up on this one after 0.2.

It's one of the few VNs on this site where the main character's depicted as realistically down on his luck and traumatized without going full doormat or descending into angsty hell. He's been through some shit, which has been established, and in a big way he's still going through it. I really like that his first instinct is always to call his shrink; it's a very humanizing reaction.

The actual main plot of this thing feels like gilding the lily. This could've gone ahead and been a whole story about the MC getting his life back together, while simultaneously getting to know all these new people who've popped into his life, and it would've been a perfectly decent VN with some realistic, interesting conflict.

The ridiculously human android at the heart of the story, the title character, is barely a factor at all so far, and feels like an unnecessary complication in a VN that's already got a ton of moving parts. That could change later, of course, but I went for a long time while actively forgetting Artemis was a thing.

Anyway: it's a good time. Good character work, jokes that land, an antagonist you're really going to love to hate, and 90% of the models are great. (The exception's Paige, who needs to fire her tattoo guy.) You won't regret checking this one out.

Review of 0.4.1

It's a really great game with an original story, interesting characters and awesome renders. There is a cat you can pet so bonus point there.
The characters have depth and show growth, and the main character is relatable.


Good luck dev and keep at it.

Artemis is without a doubt one of the best games on F95.

Even though EP 1 has some rough renders, the story, characters, writing and overall grip on the player is just great. No one character is unbearable and even the "villains" are still more than just evil people, they have "depth" to an extent. There are also some pretty funny scenes mixed in and is definitely a must play for anyone that enjoys story driven VNs.

5/5 wish i had a time machine for next release

this game is - by far - the best i've played in a long time. each character is unique and their stories & arcs seem true to their personalities. the writing is funny and poignant and while i do have the tendency to skip the dialogue in other games, i wanted to see what June & Kindra & Reina & Paige & DK & the rest all had to say. the animations are absolutely incredible; the subtle movements give it that extra something that so many other VNs don't have. bravo

Review for v0.4.1a

Over the years, I've gone through hundreds of games on this site. I have fun exploring the sort of random hodge-podge of lewd games that pop up and checking out ones that catch my interest. I'd like to think I've developed a decent eye for lewd games because of this, and it's turned me into a pretty avid reviewer. Though I tend to give out higher ratings easier than others, I can still recognize when something stands out as a true 5 star game.

Artemis truly is an excellent AVN. As far as lewd games go, I'm pretty blown away.

Perhaps one of the most common issues I run into among other games is the lack of a strong MC, and no, I'm not talking about physical strength. I'm talking strength as a real character. Artemis doesn't just deliver on that for me, but takes it to the next level. I want to see this guy succeed. I'm invested in him. I'm rooting for him. He's a loveable character through and through, and that makes him a real joy to play as.

To me, the writing and story are top notch when they can make me feel real emotion. With Artemis I'm cracking wide smiles, laughing, and even feeling sadness when struck with heavy scenes. I love when games can have that effect on you. This also comes into play with the love interests and even a lot of the minor characters as well. There's a lot I could go into detail about with them, but I'll sum it up by saying it's simply impressive how well put together they are.

Artemis is also telling a story, which I always appreciate. There's a great mix of drama and intrigue to keep me very easily compelled to keep going. But what I appreciate even more is that it leaves time for the small stuff as well. Some of my favorite moments are the smaller scenes in-between the plot moving forward. Touching base with the therapist, the interludes with our new roommate, having a date with a love interest. It's just nice to see. It gives you time to breathe between some of the bigger moments if that makes any sense.

This just hits so many of the right stops for me. The renders and character designs are certainly great and easily stand out as unique. But the animations especially are a real treat. Not only during the sex scenes, but the animations outside of that are what really make the game shine. It's the little things really, but Artemis is one of the most impressive AVNs I have played regarding its animations. That's some high praise from me too, considering how many of them I've played.

I may be jumping the gun a bit as I haven't played through all available content, but I think I've put in enough hours to say that Artemis already ranks among the very best of the lewd games I've played. If you are a fan of adult visual novels, this is one of the easiest recommendations I could make. Very much looking forward to playing more.

great characters, great story telling, great graphics, great plot, great mechanics, great design, great game. i cant remember i had such much emotions from an adult game, maybe never. i hope new updates will come soon

The game is definitely top-tier the story is really interesting the humor is definitely there also the detail in the models in the animations are extremely well done I definitely write this a five-star well produced and well written

digi_B knows how to write a good story i tell ya.

The backdrop of this VN is set in our time with the MC as a software developer (which i can relate because i'm studying computer science). And he has to go up against all odds to fight his way to the top while making friends, lovers, enemies and sexual partners along the way.

Game strongly focuses on the storyline instead of the NSFW stuff. Although I can say the NSFW stuff is also very gud.

In chapter 1 was already immersed into the storyline and characters in way before any of the ecchi scenes happened. - which actually took quite a long while to appear. But the point is that i find myself in the eyes of not just the MC but the different characters in the story. I can feel their pain, sorrow (mostly sad feelings at first) and some happy moments too.

With so much immersion, when it comes to the sexy parts you can visualize yourself in the scene itself, which is surreal. The story telling is a masterpiece as what a top notch VN should be.

My only complain? Just like almost everyone else - when are we going to see the next chapter
