Under Watching Eyes



Intro
​

In the quiet suburban town of Maplewood, nothing seems amiss at first glance. But appearances can be deceiving, especially when secrets lurk behind closed doors.

Join Alex (all names and relationships fully customizable), a curious and conflicted young man, as he navigates the complexities of his newfound feelings for the voluptuous Rebecca.
As Alex struggles with his confusing emotions and Rebecca grapples with her own desires, they find themselves drawn into a dangerous dance of passion and the forbidden.
Will Alex and Rebecca succumb to their forbidden urges, or will they resist the pull of their twisted attraction? Especially while sharing the household with the attentive Sophie?

And what role does the manipulative Amber play in their story?

Will Robert manage to keep the facade of working husband to Rebecca, or will the weight of his shady business dealings catch up to him?

As the story unfolds, the lines between right and wrong begin to blur, and the truth becomes harder to discern. Who can Alex trust, and who is really watching his every move?

Under Watching Eyes is a suspenseful tale of forbidden love, secrets, and the lengths we will go to protect those we hold dear.

Gameplay
​

Under Watching Eyes is a narrative-driven visual novel with one overarching story – but experienced through two opposing perspectives:

• Alex’s Route (Netori) – Play as the younger man, fueled by desire and revenge. For Alex, the story becomes a twisted seduction where passion collides with betrayal as he sets his eyes on Rebecca. Will he succeed in taking what isn’t his, or will his obsession consume him?
• Robert’s Route (Netorare) – Step into the husband’s shoes as his world begins to collapse. Robert must juggle shady business dealings while fighting a losing battle at home. This is a tale of downfall, regret, and the desperate struggle to hold onto what’s already slipping away.

Your choices shape the journey. A dynamic points system tracks your actions, determining how relationships evolve, which fetishes are unlocked, and how far corruption or betrayal goes. From light teasing and subtle tension to full-blown manipulation, humiliation, and obsession – the story adapts to your playstyle.

For more niche or extreme content, the game includes toggles and player preferences. This ensures you can craft the exact experience you want – keeping it romantic, dramatic, or pushing every boundary the story offers.

Hey everyone, thanks a lot for the feedback and questions so far — I really appreciate the interest!

Any plays on if we can change the characters names?

please add cuckquean and bigcock humiliation, degradtion as well

• Names and relationships will be fully customizable. I’ll edit the main post to highlight this, since I know it’s an important feature for many players.
• On sizes and fetishes: the main character (Netori route) is above average to say the least, in contrast with the other playable character. I’ve also planned for multiple types of humiliation and degradation further down the line.
• Not every request will fit directly into the core story, but I’m keeping track of suggestions, and there will be plenty of toggles and options so you can shape your own experience.

Thanks again for the input — more previews and details are coming in a bit!

 

[Lost Hope Studios]

Thanks again to everyone who’s checked out the project so far, I really appreciate the interest!

As promised, here are a few more previews:


To give you a better idea of the scope:

• The Prologue alone is over 50,000 words, split between the different perspectives.
• Sitting at about 700+ renders and multiple branching choices.
• And that’s just the beginning — the story will only expand from here.

For anyone who’d like to support development and get early access to builds, I’ve opened both:

• You must be registered to see the links
• You must be registered to see the links
  /
  You must be registered to see the links

(Each will be updated regularly as the project moves forward.)

I’ll also be preparing a free demo build soon (to release before the full Prologue), so everyone can try a taste of the story before the full release.

Thanks again for the interest — more to come!

 

[Lost Hope Studios]

Quick update for everyone following the project —


The demo and the full Prologue build are almost ready!
I’ve been polishing audio, portraits, and text consistency, and I’m really happy with how everything is coming together.

I’ll be sharing both the free demo and the Prologue release early next week, right here and on my SubStar/Patreon pages.

Thank you all again for the interest and patience — it’s almost time!
