VN - Ren'Py - Artemis [v0.6.1b] [digi.B]

v0.3.2
Wow. What a strong start. Artemis is an incredible Visual Novel with extreme promise. Everything here feels lived in and the world feels real. The characters are all fantastic and stand out from each other. Graphically it's incredible. Bonus points (not that it wasn't 5 stars already) for great sound design.
One thing in particular caught my attention by the end of the current update. The MC is his own character and not just a vessel to self insert yourself into. Yes, there are choices, but it never drastically changes the MC's personality. It's something that feels really fresh in this genre! Overall, Artemis is fantastic and is definitely worth keeping up with!

Such a great game. Outstanding character design, visuals, UI and writing. One of a handful of games that I am always eager for the next update. The original story and ideas involved are really refreshing from the usual copy/pasted stories of most of the games on F95.

One-line review: hot chicks, good animation, amazing storyline.

This is one of the few games I've seen on F95 where I'd had played it even if there wasn't any porn, but you should definitely check out the porn.

[Reviewed v0.3.1]

I gotta say. Wow. I did not expect a porn game to tug at my heartstrings. Writing in these types of game are often of such terrible nature you barely read it. This game had me completely engrossed, almost from the start.

The renders are beautiful and reasonably varied, but to be honest? I'd play the to be developed chapters even if there wasn't another porn scene to come. Sure, it's not realistic, but this is a sci-fi story. You're allowed to have bullshit tech and batcaves.

The music selection is great. All of the tracks are either bangers or fit smoothly in as background music. And if you're wondering why that one song is reminding you of Mark Knopfler, it's because the guitar part is almost straight out of Get Lucky.

Big kudos. Hope there's more Koko to come, and that Vulvamort gets her dues.

Artemis Chapter 3 Review

The Good

• A wonderful story line about picking up the pieces and moving forward in life.
• The characters feel extra life-like. You will probably recognize some the the personality traits from someone in your life.
• Animation is great quality and feels professional. Seriously could compete with the big studios.
• Humor feels natural like hanging out with old friends
• Definitely a sit down and make sure you have time type of game as you play through a world that feels like the lore was well planned.
• Soundtrack really meshes well with the game, giving it more life.

The Bad

• Nothing really. It's that solid of a game.

The Koko

• KOKO!!

Great Renders, compelling characters, and an interesting story. Was glad I found this as early on as I did. My only complaint is that it isn't finished, because I'm excited to see where the story goes

Only game I've ever felt I should actually leave a rating for

[v0.3.1]

Artemis is one I wish I let get further on before playing... What I mean by that is I am now going to be stuck waiting for every update on this.
The dialogue and humour just had me instantly invested, then it delves deeper. There's depth to all the story beats so far, but with a brevity of humour that flows wonderfully.

H-scenes
So far the animations and statics are simple, but beautifully done

The "worst" complaint you will find is the unironic Deus ex machina that is the tech, but that's only if you want to nitpick on details and miss the clearly character-driven story.

Mostly vanilla in terms of kink variety so far; though most scenes come with a selection of positions to choose from-- which is always a plus.

In conclusion: Love what is there, just want more of it. Want more humour, more wit, more beats, more Koko. If you don't mind waiting: enjoy what's there now. Otherwise you'll certainly be enjoying it later down the line

Very nice Story, Sometimes a little over the top with the technology/Batcave Stuff... Anyhow you can really get involved in the story, lots of great characters with emotions and a history just makes this story very enjoyable. The Renders are somewhat to get used to, for me at least, because they feel a little jumpy and not that smooth, but the game still looks really great and i enjoyed playing it a lot

Incredible experience so far, great narration and world building, not just lewd content but a compelling story that has more to offer than your daily pressure release. In fact the game encourages you to care for its characters and their fate and to reflect on yourself and others, which is a telltale sign for an outstanding AVN experience.

I'll start by saying this is one of the most beautiful games (if not the most beautiful) I've seen here. The renders are amazing, the women are beautiful, the story is interesting, and there is more than just lewd content.

The only reason this isn't a 5 star for me is due to there not being enough of the lewd content. Which is a shame for how beautiful the scenese are. I think there was effort put into some scenes that didn't need it. That time could've been put into the sex content, but it's nice that that's not all this game is about. I also wish there were some more "game" type features instead of a strict visual novel, but that's just preference. It did not effect my rating.

Overall, beautiful game. I look forward to future updates.

Version: 0.3.1

AMAZING STORY
GREAT MODELS
HILARIOUS DIALOGUE
AND PROBABLY THE BEST ANIMATED SCENES IVE SEEN

the detail to this with both story and animated scenes are mind blowing. And the scenes don't even seem like a simple quick loop. Makes it look MUCH more organic and enjoyable.

This is a must play if your on this site

After all the previous reviews I think mine is not worth mentioning. This is definitely one the top sci-fi games, if not the best in the genre. There nothing to comment on, it is just flawless. Only thing (very negligible though) that needs to be thought through about is the size. I know with all the beautiful renders, animations, interface and stuff it is very difficult but almost 7 GB is a bit much. Even the compressed version is almost 2 GB (Both the figures are extracted values, not compressed). Except for this, the game is perfect. For the 1st time, there is a reason or a stage where the mc can f*ck any girl in the game with an excuse that he cannot stand having romantic relations, due to the scars of the last relationship (it is not that that excuse is needed though) as the girls themselves are throwing themselves at him without any strings. Man, what a perfect story. I did not see any harem tag but this story has all the ingrediants for the purpose. Lastly, thanks @digi.B for this wonderful game. I am eagerly waiting for the 4th upgrade to see how cassie pitches the mc and whether we(the players) can have a say in the matter or is it totally yours to decide...

Only 3 updates and this is already one of the best wegs I have ever played on this site. Great story with some hard drama and some comedy. Great characters (girls) and sex scenes. High quality renders and sound. I can't think of anything to improve digi-b work, faster updates maybe? Fortunately he doesn't need any armchair dev advice because he's already strike gold here.
Just keep doing your thing because this is a winner.

This is a story driven game, and an excellent one at that. As of 0.3 there is a good amount of exposition and plenty of setup for future chapters with interesting places for it to go. There is a clear focus on Kindra in my view. I don't think this is a bad thing. Trying to jump around too much probably won't give enough time for the depth and character development needed to have the people in the story feel real. The writing so far is strong, and it seems the author knows what they want. Characters feel distinctive without being caricatures.

The character models change slightly from the first chapter to the second, but overall they are very good, with reasonable variety. The expressiveness of the characters is well done, and animated scenes are great. Sliders are relatively calm in comparison to others, but everyone is still quite a bit larger than the average distribution would give. The DJ KinK model in particular is great.

There is of course a detachment from reality in the sense of the tech that Kindra has at her disposal, and that the main character is seemingly capable of writing the code for machine intelligence entirely by himself. If only it were that easy. Anyway, it's not too hard to suspend disbelief here.

I really enjoyed the writing and lewds on this game. The characters are funny, and sexy, and I look forward to more. If you're looking for a game to read through and enjoy, pick this one. Nothing else to say!

A story that deals with trauma in a believable, relatable way. A very pleasant surprise that totally justifies the "romance" tag and blends sci-fi with slice-of-life, without offending my suspension of disbelief.

The MC is an amazing guy and although has a wide range of talents, manages to avoid being a Gary Stu. Characters are lovingly crafted with HS friend Kindra being a favorite and giving me major love vibes.
No sign of a multi-LI-path for the endgame, but although I am a fan of well-crafted harems, surprisingly I would just be ok if I ended up with her.

On the technical side, though they exist, typos are few and far between and coding seems solid. Renders are amazing and the soundtrack really rubs me the right way.

In fact I liked it so much I support the creator on Patreon and hope to see even better things in the future.

Great writing in this- the author doesn't make the common VN mistake of telling us things they are already showing us, which is a giant relief. The story through 0.3 continues to be compelling, dishing out tidbits of the past from MC and several LIs, while also building up towards something more in the future. Kindra is still an all-time great LI, though I feel like her face changed a little in 0.3? Perhaps I'm just mis-remembering 0.2 since it has been a while.

Artemis is sitting in my top 5 projects and I don't see it leaving.

love it so far, cant wait for the next episodes
not a lot of sex scenes but the story is very good and captivating
the music is pretty good
the visuals are top tier
all the girls are good looking but i have a little soft spot for the vampire

this is like one of the best game with the best story writing, character, and of course STUNNING render and ANIMATION!!!! good luck for the dev, will always support this game so please bring the best of yours, i literally can't wait for the next update

I have played this up to the latest on v0.3.0, and what can I say the game is very fascinating to be played, since this games story is about a guy trying to overcome his fear throughout his future journey. The story itself with full of exciting comedy and emotions. The content that I love about this game which is the relationship development between friends (old friend to be specifics) where his fate started to change after the reunion between them. And to the character who helps him to overcome his past which is very inspirational for him to move forward on his life. The genre of this games which is very common but there is slightly different of the in terms of the render of this game that takes me to the new kind of new adventure for me. And for the girl characters, are very tempting for each of them as they have their own trait to appeal the guy. For that, I genuinely will give the ratings based on experience through out playing this game. And I will recommend this game to people out there who would like to give it shot on comedy/ harem game. And plus this game is related to technology development which is kind of amuse me as it almost related to career that I am currently pursuing. Lastly, Have Fun and enjoy playing this fascinating story.
