Artemis: Book One

One of the few adult adult-game out there. I.e., the MC is not a man-child, like the majority of these games. You're not embarrassed by the character you're playing as. It has compelling storylines, great graphics, beautiful, real women, and actual dialog you want to read. An actual joy to play. Thank you, Devs.

Artemis is the absolute pinnacle AVNs, and I am VERY picky about the ones I think positively of. The raw emotions this story has me going through at times hit me hard, and the highs get me smiling and laughing like an idiot. The art and animations are incredible, with characters having realistic facial expressions (though still limited by the tools being used) and the environments and lighting are superb. Digi.b is truly an ARTIST who is becoming more and more of a master of his craft. Yes, this is an AVN, and there are some GREAT spicy bits to work through on a few characters' paths, but the STORY and character development is where Artemis shines. I love it, I really can't say that enough.

I absolutely love this game. The storyline is engaging to the point where I forget sometimes that this is an AVN. Great graphics, music definitely helps to tell the story, and I have developed strong emotions towards each of the characters. I'll let you play through to see what I mean. :) I definitely recommend both book 1 and book 2.

Such an amazing well written adult visual novel. To set the expectations, this is not smut, the sex scenes are well earnt, and build the charcter relationships. Not a story built around sex... This game is replayable more than all AVNs not just because of branching choices, but simply because of the high amount of detail placed into every aspect of from subtle script plot hints to wholesome background character reactions. I'll be clocking replay #4 soon. So why so good? The plot, world building, extremely excellant character building, and most importantly the wholesomeness of Book 2. Perfect (unless you're weirdly hungup on AGI fiction). The relationships are phenomenal. If you like a visual novel with an amazing story, this is for you. Book 1 does a fantastic job of world building and the Character development is amazing. Book 2 (DLC) will draw you into the characters, you will get invested in them and in their arc with some very wholesome themes. The second last chapter just released in Book 2, it hit really hard (thankfully ended with hope) and on a big cliff hanger. Really can't wait for the last chapter to drop, to borrow a quote from one of the main characters "it will be ready when its ready" ♥, we all just hope its sooner rather than later. Great graphics and renders, much more animations than your average AVN particularly in the later Season. Great music! Hope digi.b is able to expand to a team to bring much more content, faster, even new stories. An amazing game that is well under priced in my opinion. Its under priced. Get it! 10/10.

Крепкий середнячок 8/10

Bad Game, a glitch has been unfixed for 2 years without any support!

totally invested in the story! great story with good writing, great characters and development. the story (so far) is engrossing and worth investing into. The artwork and scenes are very well done (minus a few scenes which have blurs as explained by creator). multiple paths for replay ability is a plus (and a minus as described later). very worth the read for those that are into the story heavy AVN's. the AVN does have a few negatives though. The mini games some times pop out of left field and catch you by surprise, and you can't role back the back game so saving often is recommended. Some of the extras are found by finding mini "sd cards" throughout the game. when i say mini i mean mini, they're really hard to spot. For those who play for adult content, the scenes, while graphically are well done, are very short and far between. not unexpected with a very story driven AVN, but still. The biggest issue for me was the systems used to determine relationships and scene availability. The AVN uses both relationship points and flags, which means unless you're using a guide you're going to end up playing through many multiple times to get the points accrued and all questions and actions aligned correctly to open scenes later. As a gauge i have 18 hours in, and i'm still missing 7 and a partial scenes (just less then 1/2) without using a guide. overall a big thumbs up though, and waiting for book 3 to be released.

surprisingly decent story and characters

Artemis: Book One is a narrative-focused visual novel developed and published by digi.B that blends science fiction, drama, romance, and personal redemption into a lengthy story-driven experience. Rather than centering entirely on its mature content, the game aims to build an engaging world filled with complex relationships and emotional struggles. As the opening chapter of a larger series, it spends much of its time laying the foundation for future events while introducing a cast of characters whose lives become intertwined with the protagonist's journey. The story follows a talented programmer whose life was shattered after a devastating betrayal involving both a business venture and a romantic relationship. Years after losing everything he worked for, he finds himself trapped in a routine existence, burdened by disappointment and regret. A reunion with a childhood friend becomes the catalyst for change, drawing him into new opportunities and relationships that gradually reshape his future. This premise gives the narrative a surprisingly grounded emotional core, allowing players to connect with the protagonist's desire to rebuild his life and rediscover a sense of purpose. One of the game's strongest qualities is its attention to character development. The supporting cast is more than a collection of romantic interests, with each individual possessing their own personalities, ambitions, insecurities, and personal histories. Conversations often focus on friendship, trust, healing, and personal growth, creating relationships that feel meaningful over the course of the story. The writing takes its time developing these connections, which helps many interactions feel natural and believable rather than rushed. The science-fiction elements provide an additional layer of intrigue beneath the personal drama. Advanced technology, corporate influence, and the protagonist's expertise in programming all play important roles in shaping the world. While many of these concepts are only partially explored in the first installment, they help create a sense that larger conflicts and mysteries are waiting beyond the immediate story. This combination of intimate character moments and broader futuristic themes gives the narrative a distinctive identity within the visual novel genre. Visually, Artemis: Book One demonstrates impressive production values for an independent project. The game features an enormous number of rendered images, highly detailed environments, and numerous animated sequences that make scenes feel more dynamic than the static presentations often found in visual novels. Character models are expressive and visually appealing, while the overall presentation contributes significantly to immersion. The visual quality remains consistently high throughout the adventure, helping maintain player engagement during its lengthy runtime. Additional features such as unlockable galleries and replay options further enhance the experience. Players who enjoy exploring alternate choices or revisiting favorite moments will appreciate the ability to return to specific scenes and discover hidden content. These additions encourage replayability and reward those willing to invest extra time in the game's world and characters. Despite its strengths, the game is not without flaws. Because it functions as the first chapter in a planned series, much of the story focuses on setup rather than resolution. Some players may find the pacing uneven, especially during lengthy conversations and world-building sequences. Certain plot threads remain unresolved by the conclusion, which can feel unsatisfying for those seeking a more self-contained narrative. Additionally, the experience is heavily text-driven, meaning players looking for substantial gameplay mechanics may find the interactive elements somewhat limited. Even with these shortcomings, Artemis: Book One succeeds at establishing a compelling universe and a cast worth following. The emotional storytelling, strong character interactions, and ambitious scope make it clear that the developers have larger plans for the series. Its focus on personal growth, second chances, and meaningful relationships gives the story more depth than many titles that rely solely on visual appeal or mature themes. For fans of visual novels that prioritize storytelling and character-driven drama, Artemis: Book One offers a rewarding experience filled with memorable moments and intriguing possibilities for the future. While its deliberate pacing and unfinished narrative may not appeal to everyone, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. As an opening installment, it effectively captures interest and leaves players eager to see where the journey leads next. Rating: 8/10

loved the story and the loved the ref to the main character being the same model from a other game did make me laugh looking forward to future updates
