VN Ren'Py VERITAS EXPOSITA [v0.8.6] [FPInteractive]

[Bob69]

Overview:
VERITAS EXPOSITA follows aspiring journalist Ali Taylor on a three-episode journey (plus a prologue) deep into the world of sex work—one choice at a time.
Inspired by Our Red String (Eva Kiss), Female Agent (Crushstation), and the introspective vibes of Life is Strange, VERITAS EXPOSITA is a text-driven, multi-path narrative with hand-drawn visual elements and a sleek, journalism-themed UI. It blends the depth of interactive fiction with the structure of a visual novel, offering an immersive and emotional experience.
In this prologue episode, Through the Lens, you guide Ali through doubt, entitlement, and moral sacrifice—all for the sake of a weekend trip to her best friend’s rented beach house.
Serving as both a proof-of-concept, and the foundation of a larger narrative, Through the Lens is Ali's first step into a world she never expected to be a part of.​

Really good start. Grats.

 

[SomeoneX22]

Writing seems interesting, but it's disappointing that Ali dosen't have bush at least before photoshots.
Would be suiting for her shy personality.

Good start! Just some minor grammar mistakes but overall I feel like this can be a good one.

Hey there! I am the creator of the game. I agree with you! I set a personal goal to release the game on April 11th, regardless of it's state. That was one of the things that got left out.

I already have a slot for it in the layered image definition that will allow me to add it in as soon as art for it is complete. Right now, I'm polishing the writing, fixing mistakes, making transitions smoother (I've already fixed the one that prevents the choice box from animating into the scene while fast-skipping).

Thank you!

FYI, 0.8.3 contained a BROKEN path. Now fixed in 0.8.4.

If the dev ever sees this, some good and bad things to report.

Good-The premise, the story(so far) and the sexy fmc.

Bad-Stop with the flashing every time a picture is taken, put in a click sound instead. My eyes are still recovering, fwiw, I usually play in a dark room, so that makes it even worse. Had a couple of errors pop, one even crashed the game. Some minor misspellings. Clothing choices do not seem to matter, as the text does not change. I chose for her to not wear a bra and wear the button down for the shoot. The text acted like she was wearing both a bra and a crop top.

Thank you for the reports.

Did the crash happen in Scene 3? If so, and the error code popped up e0s3_Passive_Sex, that is fixed in 0.8.4.

Edit:

- Camera flashes have been reduced to the two most important placements.

- The button down pathing was actually caused by a misplaced else statement, causing the crop top branch to intercept the button down branch. It should be working in the next build (0.8.5).

- Spellings are an ongoing project as I continue to polish scene-by-scene

- If you have information on any of the other errors that popped up, please let me know.

Thanks again!

There are some really good games coming out recently. Can't wait for more from this developer.

Amazing! Couldn't have hoped for better response!
Followed your Patreon page for more updates. I rearly enjoy female protagonist games, but yours reminded me of Casey's Fall, where the game is more corruption focused and gives insight on character thoughts.
UI and art also deserve high praise, I liked linked notes in dialogs and skeuomorphism design.

Can't wait for the next update. And about swimsuits would be super hot if it shows her pubic hair.
Good luck with a game development!

I finished my polish and bug fixing session for the night.

I went ahead and threw together some quick art on the pubes. We have a very simplified "bush", "trimmed" and shaved option now (and hopefully a state tracker that will successfully carry it forward from scene to scene, fingers crossed). The full bush is the "default" state.

It'll be included in build 0.8.5, which will come out either Monday or Tuesday. I'm not sure if this particular feature will be fully "story integrated" by then, but if you want to know where it will be located, make sure Ali takes a bath.

Edit: And to address the other question. The way my layered images are set up, swimsuits will not cause the pubes to disappear or anything like that. I also went through my formative years when ultra low-rise pants were in fashion. I'm confident that there will be at least one swim suit/pube combo that will allow a little overspill.

Great start to this game! The Female Agent general design / plot structure marries itself quite smoothly to the Life is Strange aesthetic. I also liked the sense of agency (perhaps coerced agency) the MC has. She's doing this because she wants to do this and she just so happens to like modeling. Maybe she'll 'just so happen' to like sex work, as well... It's still corruption, in a way, but more in a 'self discovery' kind of way than a 'mind break, abandon all morality' kind of way. It's nice and refreshing.

I will say, in the early phone scene between Ali and Britney, Britney comes off as a brutally toxic, manipulative friend. She ignores Ali's own concerns. She guilts her for being rich. She drives the conversation wherever she wants it to go. Now, this isn't a bad thing as long as it is intentional. If Britney is meant to be manipulative, then you did a brilliant job selling that. If Ali is mean to be naive and a bit of a doormat, placating Britney, accepting her worldview and her judgment, that's you're on target. I can totally see how this relationship can lead to Ali entering a new world of skin and sex, with Britney pushing her along.

If you wanted Britney to be genuine and a solid friend, then I just didn't buy it.

On a similar note around characterization, I assumed at the start that Ali would be a smart, competent journalism student who was looking for a 'big story' on sex workers and decides to go undercover, and accidentally gets sucked into that world. Kind of like Female Agent. But that is not the Ali on display here. This character is naive, unsure of herself, clearly not overly analytical, rather superficial and vain (her upbringing didn't help her here). She seems like someone who wants to be deep, wants to be clever, wants to be bold, but she isn't any of those things yet. She's a shallow teenager looking for direction. Dave and Britney run roughshod over her life because she's spineless. Maybe this new line of work will give her that sense of purpose and power she lacks?

Again, if your goal was to have an initially weak, clueless main character who is coerced relentlessly, then you did an A+ job. If she's supposed to be some wicked clever journalist who trades her dignity for a riveting story to really fire up her career... I'm not seeing it.

Frankly, I love the way it's set up now. Ali's somewhat spineless and submissive. She couldn't even bring herself to tell Dave off or tell him about the photoshoot and ended up just taking his dick, not for the first time (well, that's what Ali did in my playthrough, I know you can tell him to fuck off). She's not used to working hard for what she wants - she's not even sure she knows what she wants. Then Leo shows up and apparently she's good at this and it's so easy. And down the rabbit hole we go from there.

Can't wait to play more!

A few other thoughts:

• Totally agree that Ali should have pubic hair
• In the Dave sex scene, he mentions taking off her pants, but her pants stayed on in the paper doll avatar. Must be a bug.
• In the Leo photo shoot, I did not have Ali wear a bra, but she mentioned taking off her bra in the scene
• In the final phone call with Britney, I think Ali should be showing a bit of camel toe in the panties she's wearing. I don't know, maybe that's just personal preference, but they seem like the kind of material that might cling like that.
• Should Ali find modeling / exhibitionism a turn-on? I imagine there needs to be a kind of sexual awakening as part of her progress. Didn't see any of that yet, but her libido should start to fire up in situations like this more and more so as the story progresses
• The current model for Ali looks slightly East Asian in terms of her face (half Chinese half European was my read of her). Can we in a later version of the game make some slight edits to her face and skin? Nothing so complex as Female Agent's clunky 'choose your country' thing, as that's difficult to then code into the story. I would just like to make Ali more pale and with different eyes. Otherwise the model's perfect.
• Art for clothes is excellent. No issues there.

And a final word of advice: choices make writing the game more difficult and then that stretches out development time. You've got a great premise, here. Err on the side of telling the complete story with some small choices along the way. Too many branches and everything goes to shit.
