The game is addicting, it has nice/balanced story, The game has a lot of potential and developer seems nice

Absolutely amazing game. The renders and art are beautiful, the characters are interesting, the game has a great sense of humor and the storyline so far has been interesting and engaging. Very eagerly looking forward to the next update.

This game is definitely one of the best I've played so far.

Awesome story, great characters/models, and relationships are top-notch. I do wish the Protag's demons were a little less present in some situations, as I can't understand the reactions to the myriad stimuli.

Mind Blown. The story is addicting as of v0.3.2. The characters are great with good backstory. Liking the cyberpunk vibe while playing the game. The lewd scenes are rendered like nothing i have seen before. The amount of detail went into each scene is amazing. Usually i would skip scenes faster in other adult vns but in this case just waited and enjoyed every bit. Can see a lot of effort and passion put into this game. Looking forward to future updates.

Just hands down a fun experience, tbh I would probably play this game without any of the sexual content. It contains an interesting and immersive story, well written and unique characters, and well rendered graphic; but for me the best part is the moments of intense humor that are well placed within the story. Good job dev keep it up!

Definitely a cut above average from most other adult games and shockingly underappreciated. I'm surprised not a lot of people are talking about this game. If you like an adult visual novel that has an actual good story and well written character I would strongly suggest you give this a try.

What i like:

• A fresh new setting and idea compared to most other AVN games. The story is very well written and obviously has a lot of thoughts behind it.
• The characters are portrayed very realistically. The decision that the character makes and the struggles that they had to go through make sense, which is a rarity. Most games always skip the minor details and only focus on the plot progression.
• The music is fantastic and definitely enhances the scene.
• The interface is very well designed and it makes the game stand out more then other renpy games.

What can be improved (In My Opinion) :

• Even though the story is the best part of the game, the pacing of the overall plot can be a bit slow. So far the story has been focusing more on the character. Which is good for a character driven story but, personally i feel like the plot should make more of an impact in the overall story. These three episodes still feel like it’s just a buildup for something more and it is very unclear what the story is actually about. For example Artemis the Character that the game is named after, is still yet to be introduced.
• There’s also a lot of characters that were introduced but don’t really serve any purpose other than being another option for the MC to romance. That might change in later chapters though.
• The Sex Scene is a little bit lacking for an adult game. I’m sure there’s a lot of people that play this game just for the story but, personally to me sex scene in adult game is like fighting scene in shounen anime. Sure the story is nice but, the sex scene is where the satisfaction is. Not saying that you only need a lot of sex scene to make a good game, but it’s definitely makes the game more engaging.

This game is brilliant. Really well done story and renders.

Some of the actions characters take isn't overly realistic, but then it's an adult VN so that's to be expected. Let alone the fact that the technology and all the other stuff exists.

Overall, this is one of my top games, and I wish I discovered it when it was closer to being finished lol. There's a good amount of content so far, but really hoping it keeps progressing at a decent rate so I can see what happens with the story.

I really enjoyed this story. All the characters seem like they have their own personalities. The art was outstanding, and the animations were just....WOW!
I really liked the facial expressions on the characters. Someone really put a lot of work into this VN.

Fantastic game so far. I have found myself laughing multiple times from the humor, already emotionally attached to Kindra, and craving more. Good animations and writing. Anxiously awaiting the next release. Kindra is everything. Kindra is everything. Kindra is everything. Protect her at all costs.

This game is one of the best AVN game I’ve ever played!!

I mean, IMO, for now, IT IS THE BEST AVN game!!

The story is amazing!! I felt like I was watching a great movie, feeling the impact and meaning to the life characters.

The best animations I've seen in an adult visual novel (AVN). They are smooth and very high quality.

And all of this only in the 3rd release (v0.3.2)!!

I will wait anxiously to new releases!!

Thanks @digi.B for create such a absolutely great game!!

Supposedly this developer's first VN, you would never know it from how polished and thought-out things feel. I struggle to think of other games with comparable production quality.

The art is good (occasional character texture issues/uncanny valley look to me) in some places and great in others, the animations are consistently great (both lewd and non-lewd contexts) and used to amazing effect to set the mood in scenes, the sound design and music is great, the story is interesting, the writing is rock solid.

One thing that really sticks out to me: the humor. Characters can be goofy, but in a natural-feeling way. Other games might be silly/over-the-top or cartoony and pull off humor that way, other games sometimes try humor and fall flat or feel cringy. This game feels like fun, real people hanging out and trying to have a good time. Even in some places where the humor feels forced, it feels like the characters are forcing it (like trying to cover up negative feelings), not the developer.

Couldn't recommend more. Looking forward to where this goes.

The best animations I've seen in an adult visual novel (AVN). Animation loops are so jerky/janky/ridiculous in most AVNs I spam the spacebar to skip them asap. In this game they are smooth as silk and very high quality. An order of magnitude better than most other games...it sounds hyperbolic even to me but I don't think I'm exaggerating.

Porn videos are far more stimulating IMO , and its not even close, but that is not a fair comparison and it isn't why I play these games. For me visuals in AVNs help my imagination bring the story/characters to life and give it impact and meaning.

digi.B hits another home run with the writing and story in Artemis. The story is sci fi, which is one of my favourite genres, and I am enjoying it. While it is touching/sad at times it is also very humourous and overall shaping up to be a feel good story IMO. He has created some very fun and awesome characters to experience and connect with and for me that is critically important.

So far (as of v0.3.2) this is one of the best AVNs I've played and I strongly recommend it for those seeking a good story.

From the first three chapters, I like where the story is heading. The characters are well thought out, and the plot and naughty stuff never took precedent over one another. I look forward to future updates!

the more i played it, more and more i fell for Kindra. MY BROTHER IN CHRIST she is fucking adorable. so goddamn cute... and hilarious lmfao.
Plot is really thick, also teared me up at some points.
10/10 game, takes my top 5 VN list by far..
CANT WAIT FOR MORE chief. MOAARRR!!!

How did I miss this one until now?

Not a lot of sex scenes, but more than makes up for that with story and characters. And what little actual sex there is, is done incredibly well.

Definitely hoping dev keeps making it, can't wait to see where story goes from here.

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.
