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

I don't usually review, but this game forced my hand. The renders and animations are top-tier, and the story is nothing short of amazing. There was not a single point in this game where I felt lost or bored. The characters are also made extremely well as most of them are likable in their own way and very unique. This game has some serious potential and I can't wait for chapter 2.

Very entertaining as well as great animations for something in its first chapter. digi B does an amazing job at building the main characters so far to the point of formulating emotions when the antagonist appears. This project also has a decent amount of content for Ch. 1 making the game overall very satisfying so far

First time im taking the time to rate a game. Story iss breathtaking till the start! Dialogues are good and aniation very well done. Keep the good work ! If you need some help, im developer myself and my girl designer

What an awesome game. The story is awesome, the characters are really well developed and defined and even the music plays a great role in the ambience it sets.
If i have to point something out is some of the models are not to my liking, but that is up to the testes of each one. But is something irrelevant next to how great the experience is.
Really looking forward to see how this develops.

The story has flaws:

• How a guy who is super duper coder can have problems with finding a job in IT?
• How can the uni/college girls already be super duper middle/senior full-time developers?
• How can these girls accept the 25 y.o. guy, almost a complete stranger into their sorority after one favor so he can fool around with them? Not to mention the fact that MC finished his degree long time ago and why he needs this sorority at all...

BUT
It's a game. It's a fucking adult/porn visual novel so I can close my eyes on those.

Besides that, the game's pretty great. The story is enjoyable and rises some questions and struggles which make you empathize the MC. Also the game is so fucking big... I mean the first release was like 2 hours of gameplay and now we get another 2. Some completed VNs are way less than that.

Then we have animations. Not just 1-3 second loops, they are so fucking long... and smooth! Defintely one of the best I've seen yet.

I rated it with 2 starts when first played it but I admit that it's a AAA class game. 5 starts easily and one of the best in this genre.

This game really sets a new gold standard for visuals and scene design. Writing and story is also top notch. I was really pleasantly suprised how well fleshed out the characters are and worn out idea from the stranded lonely wolf male protagonist was freshened by the idea what female company he got himself into when looking for a new job. Also I like the fact that I am for one time playing some good looking young male stud with a decent normal dick and not some kid with a 14inch horsecock. Looking forward to future updates, really.

A thoroughly enjoyable VN with stunning graphics, beautiful girls and engaging gameplay - I'm really looking forward to seeing where this story goes!!

The sci-fi setting is awesome and the tech angle has the potential to really develop something original.

Really good story, emotions, and choices to pick. I love the renders, the MC, along the characters. There is some humor involved that takes you on a ride. I also love how the UI is in the game, glad to see a newer game as promising as this.

Really good game with good writing, renders and not to forget the sick as design. there were some things in this game that set bars most games that you see in terms of UI are looking similar but this game had a very good creative touch on it which i love.

Don't really think I need to say much.....a near perfect 5 star review with 60+ ratings in just two weeks says all you need to know and I'd say it's worth the price of admission

Well above average graphics/renders and animations. Plot that is somehow unique among others. Great pacing, Good amount of depth and personality coming from each person introduced. Outside of a few grammar errors, not much else I can really say

It really is amazing to see this quality of game this early on the development process. Makings of a future classic

Please excuse my english...

So I just started and finished the game for the day and WOW, it's hard not to stop clicking through. Such a big chapter with lots of content, definitely puts it at my top 10 favorites of games with an incredible start(plus some teaser too! ).



The mix of emotions projected in each scene compliments with each other.

The MC (if I read him correctly) showed his vulnerabilities reasonably, as some may see his whining, crying, and running away a weakness by some people, I can empathize with him.



As for the story, I believe it's my first time to play with such plot so I see this an original work and is not a cheap copy of another successful VN.



And for the last thing I want to have a comment on are the models, more specifically our girls. Love interest or not, their different characters has put in such contribution on how this game turned out and what will it probably lead to. I already have my favorites and one that I already hate( can't believe I'm hating an Alexandra Daddario look-a-like!).



Congratulations on a great start, wish you success to follow through and net you the patrons you deserve!

Yes! Finally good writing!
Been a while since I've played a VN with proper good dialogue, which is funny when it intends to be and segues to sad moments seamlessly. The pacing is also fantastic, no unnecessary exposition which leads to nothing.

Only con is... Mom is way too hot, like I've already decided on my best girl

Nah but seriously, 5/5 - Great start

I was blown away by this auspicious first chapter of Artemis. It feels fully realized right off the bat, with a sleek game design and complex, detailed renders. There's a meaty story to work with, the characters are well-developed, and the dialogue is witty and hilarious. And lewd offerings are promising, given the unique and sexy cadre of ladies to choose from. Can't wait to see what the future holds! 5/5

Wow, Chapter 1, amazing introduction of colorful characters! The setup of the story got me hooked for more. Beautiful render of each characters. The humor, jaw dropping or I just misplace mine. Oh I almost forgot the adult stuff, enough teasing can't wait for the next update!

This probably doesn't need more reviews. It's good and the rest of the comments/reviews already say that.

It is the story and the characters that make it good. It's frustrating and unpleasant at times but not in a jealous/envious way. The MC just keeps getting kicked down in believable yet annoying ways.

The banner and opening post for this, and even the first few minutes of the game do not do the rest justice. Power through. It's an engaging story without the usual "every LI has a secret"-like pattern.

Freeroam sections add nothing good, they just give you a feeling of unease that you might miss something.

It's never clear which options result in more LP/PP but fortunately these points go unused so far.

Amazing beggining. I dare to say it's the best VN's first chapter i've played and it looks very promissing. Amazing job from the dev.

Looking forward to chapter 2! I hope that at least it will keep the same level as this first one.

I am honestly surprised and dare I say shocked at how this game has been reviewed with full starts and over 50 reviews.

I am sorry but it is nothing amazing as described for me. The truth is it lends a lot of it's style from more famous games made by a doctor dude and that game where you live in the house with your hot mom and two sisters and you end up banging them.

The game does have a very funny dialogue at moments and the character so far I have played which was 45minutes in seems interesting. I am not sure if there should be a hints file as I am stuck currently and not sure how to proceed but that is not the biggest worry.

Now the graphics, I am sorry but a lot of them are grainy, slightly too dark and way to much compression on them making the models' skins look like mash potato. Also I have noticed a few with what seems like clipping into objects. The animations are great no doubt but grainy.

The thing that mostly I don't get is why so many people see it as one of the best games released and I have to be honest it was difficult for me to keep my attention for 45min and it's just nothing new in story and game idea.
The gui has a very nice design and is easy to navigate but truthfully giving it 4 stars and not 3 is because of the animations that are nicely done and the cute girls I have seen so far. On that I did see a few models, MC included that are just reused DAZ models.

Otherwise very good job to the dev and his team.

What a game. What a first release. I need to stand up and applause what you did right here.

The renders, animations and songs are gorgeous.

The text is amazing. The drama, humor and the teasers are on the spot. Each characters here are uniques.

Man, I'm just on my second playthrough! It's so good. And no joke here, I'm wiliing to wait some days to play a 3rd time ahahaha

Dev, please... never change. This game don't have to be immaculate hahaha. Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground and you can go far.

I wish you success.

Ok, I don't usually rate a game so early as I like to see where things are going... however, I am happy giving this 5 stars to start with. Here is what I said on the thread itself:
Just played through this, and holy crap... I really wish I was working so I could afford to support this financially. I am enjoying the VN very much. Even though I can't help but wish the MC got that job. I am torn with this game, I mean you give happiness and then literally rip it away. Playing as the MC, I would be very hesitant to go to that sorority house again after what happened. Obviously I am sure the story will bring him back there, but every time he trusts someone, he gets his fucking heart ripped out. I am very invested in this story, and I am looking forward to seeing where this goes. Great work so far, and good luck with the future.

I would definitely recommend, and will be recommending, this VN to as many as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed it... even the emotional rollercoaster I was on. Well done so far, and I hope it can continue to be this good.

Seriously, hats off to you digi. Not only have you completely flipped my opinion of this particular "genre" (tech?), you've captivated me. I went into this expecting the worst, I'll admit it. I've played a few other games that tried to play this angle, and they all disappointed me..

Artemis was an angel descending from the heavens to give me a personal decree: "This game is the shit, and you will enjoy it."

From the get-go, I loved the renders. You didn't play too far out of the norm and built a believable world that I easily slipped into. The main character wasn't obnoxious and I found myself enjoying the time I spent in his head, with each character introduced driving me deeper down the rabbit hole.

I was engaged all the way through, and I didn't abuse the skip function because I actually cared about what was happening [for once]. One of the biggest problems I have with games like this is that, perhaps due to inexperience on the writers' end, the personalities of various characters would bleed into one another.

Not here. Each person felt real and distinct; and the 'villains' were set up in a way that while I may not like them, I'm interested in seeing what will happen next. The friends and family are fun, and I can see the love and care put into this small world you've created from the writing to the renders, to the overall result.

If you're thinking of playing Artemis while reading these reviews - stop thinking. Just go play it, it's wonderful. I'll be keeping an eye on this to see how updates go, and if it keeps at this quality I will most likely pay it forward through patreon when I can.
