That was...weird. I think this should be in the video section rather than games.

this game has lot of potential, although the constant animations kinda kill the atmosphere and good art.
It does seem like there are more bad Daz3D VNs than there are good ones, shame considering how easy they've made it to render decent images.
Daz Studio, people can make some real nice images with it, but takes a lot of practice, experience, and a little bit of postwork. This is a random image from Daz3D's gallery using the same program, for example:Does anyone know with which program the graphics were made?
In the preview pics in the OP, the girls face and hands look pretty great with a lot of detail (if not fully sharp) but the bodies and scenery look very basic.
Also, what's up with her pubic hair? Did she put some kind of tape over it???
And this is just a quick n' dirty render I bashed together. All I did was load a character, a vagina and pubic hair, a short hairstyle, an environment, a lighting preset, and hit "render". Zero skill and effort involved.
It's not a cheap hobby though, the price of models and props add up pretty quickly and you need a beefy system if you don't want to be waiting overnight for renders (this one took 10 minutes to render, but I'm on a R5 3600x with 32GB RAM and a RTX 3070).
Looks like the pubic hair on this model is a prop that just gets slapped over the crotch. Usually there's a transparency layer that makes the edges fade so it'll blend into the skin behind it, but doesn't look like it was applied here.

Yes and no... mostly no.
Yes, it's an experience and someone clearly put a lot of hard work into this.
But no. Mostly no.
Unfortunately, it's a bad experience.

Thanks for the answer. I know Daz, many devs use it, I have played with it a bit as well.
But to me, it doesn't seem like Daz, more like something else. Maybe it's even a hybrid of Sims 3 or TK17 bodies with faces from some other program (maybe Daz).
Also the scenery doesn't look like Daz to me. Most of the free / cheap / pirated assets are well known because everybody is using the same clothing store and one of three available appartments for their game...
Ah, yes, you're right, I totally jumped the gun there. The model isn't a hybrid, it's a standalone model based on Samantha from Until Dawn. Given I don't remember Sam ever wearing a bikini in the game, I'm fairly certain it's specifically this one:

So it's XNALara, can probably find the house and environment floating around somewhere on Deviantart as well, which is weird because there are plenty of better assets there that could've been used.
I know it is Hayden because there is no pre made 3d model for Gwyneth and the first image of the previews is clearly the same model used in Until Dawn, which has been ported for Daz3d

Hate to be mean, but come on! This dev's other game is a year and a half old. You'd think he/she would learn how to use a geoshell in that time so you don't have weird changes in skin color around the short and curlies. That's just plain laziness, IMO.

Well, there are several points i like to make.
1) no pause.
2) environment seems bare bones (very low poly)
3) laggy
4) poses are bare and look weird
5) no emotions.
That is a movie is not really a bad thing but there is no interaction i could see. So, it's not really a game with one you interact.
The dialog seems underdeveloped and spoken by a bot. I reminded me of having an AI do the dialog.
I am just not sure from where the assets really are. Though perhaps unreal?
I think that the RenPy engine isn't helping here. It probably doesn't need an engine.

Unreal has better free assets than that, really. I'm pretty sure it's XNALara though, given the model and outfits looks identical to this:

Dunno. The first thing that went to my mind when i seen the title pic was CSS. Dude, headshot.
Though that would be from the early 2000.
What ached me was the lag in the video. Even ignoring the dialog that is really like from a computer spoken with no empathy.
I have to check XNALara, because that is new to me.
Waiting for the new Dead Space which is Unreal 5 (i think).
We all gotta start somewhere bro
