The Artist - Act One
A downloadable Visual Novel for Windows and macOS
Important:
The game graphically depicts sex and focuses on a hard-hitting story above all else. Some situations may cause stress and upset to many players. The story is not intended for players who suffer from mental health issues or are going through a particularly dark period in their lives. All sexual acts in the game are consensual.
Step into the shoes of a successful lawyer in ‘The Artist’, a gripping and dramatic visual novel. After a run of bad luck on the dating scene, and having seemingly explored every avenue available to you, you unexpectedly meet a woman named Ava who captures your heart and attention.
You find yourself falling into a deepening relationship that is hard to get a grasp of. Ava is an utterly mysterious muse that brings curiosity and so many feelings out of you that make you second guess yourself endlessly. She is the kind of woman that will make you question everything you know about relationships.
With multiple possible endings and a branching narrative that adapts based on your choices, ‘The Artist’ takes you on an emotional and thrilling journey through the depths of love, trust, and betrayal. Will you stay by Ava's side, even as the evidence against her mounts? Or will you cut ties and move on with your life?

The filter makes the renders look like crap
Nice touch of art over the renders, good female models (not the MC) and good scenes. But the story and dialogues is not for me
The MC is a depressed beta male that makes no sense, (corporate lawyer who works from home? Never actually does any work but is successful and loaded? And is unsure of himself?) Grotslot never saw Harvey Specter I guess... Or She has a very 'millennial' idea of how men are
Eve or Ava or whatever doesn't surprise me got stood up on her date, she's just annoying and smartass. "I'm going to leave and if you tell me what I want to hear I 'Might' come back"??!!!! GTFO
I would rant about it actually, but I realize its like pissing on someone's work.
So.. not for me. Have fun to those that relate
I'm loving this game so far. I think the best part for me is the realism of the characters. I'm not that far in yet, but I feel like this story and characters will be more believable and relatable than most that we encounter in AVNs.
I love this game so far. The aesthetics of the game really fit with the title and I love how the story is developing so far. 10/10

Thank you for doing the play through on your youtube channel! Glad you enjoyed it, and can't wait to see you play the next part! :)
I apologize for the late response. I did manage to get back to the game and make a part 2. I can say it was far from a disappointment. I can't wait for the next chapter.
Hey guys, very good start, I'll follow this project with interest.
I just had an error right before the ending when the MC get up after hearing a shower stop. Also, I had red writings all over the options menu.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback! :)
The bugs you mentioned should have been rectified in v0.1.1, is this the version you're using? It could be that you missed the bug fix update if you downloaded it pretty soon after release.
Dev, since that description or overview is quite suspicious to me, a simple question, is this going to contain netorare? (some LI sleeping with other male characters that are not the Mc, for example Ava cheating on him) that is, you are talking about betrayal, evidence against Ava, and if the Mc were to cut ties and move up.
Just to know beforehand before trying it, because if so that is something that I am not interested in playing hahaha.
Thanks, good luck.
Hey! Thanks for the message :)
The 'betrayal' is a loose term than doesn't relate to NTR or cheating and will not feature in this VN.
