With Eyes Closed [Season 1 Deluxe] (2023) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [wec] [Ker]

Season 1 - Chapter 5 - 2024-06-30
The update heavily focuses on Eva, featuring three scenes with her, including one 18+ scene. The plot of the fifth chapter revolves mainly around her. There's also plenty of content with Kate, including an 18+ scene. Luna will make a brief appearance. You'll also encounter Melinda, Christopher, and a new character, Olivia, who you might have seen in earlier renders. Olivia will also have an erotic scene.

The chapter will end with a cliffhanger as usual, and your previous actions will significantly influence what happens next.

Hope you enjoy it!

*I've encountered some problems with loading saves from Chapter Four. It ends as if Chapter Five doesn't exist. Saves from other chapters work fine. I tried to figure out the cause, but it's still unclear. It seems Ren'Py remembers not only the line where you saved but also the place the code returns to after completing the chapter, which is the final screen, and it ignores the new chapter as if it doesn't exist in the code. Unfortunately, I couldn't have predicted this strange behavior, especially since everything worked fine before.

I've already found a new way to write the code to avoid such issues in the future.

For now, if you experience this problem, I can only suggest using older saves from Chapter Three or earlier, which should work without any issues.

Chapter 4 - 2024-04-06
This chapter features four fairly lengthy scenes, two of which are rated 18+ (featuring Luna and Camila). In a single playthrough, you'll only be able to experience three of these scenes. Your choices will lead you to either complete (or fail) Melinda's task or date with Camila. Initially, I planned to end the fourth chapter on a major cliffhanger with Eva, but I've decided to stick to a strict schedule of updating every two months. This chapter ended up being animation-heavy, and I barely had enough time to render them all by this week. So, Eva will be waiting for you in the next chapter by the end of May.
I also wanted to release a separate update from Chapter 3 to Chapter 4 this time, but at the last minute, I cleaned up the file structure, so that update won't be possible. I'll try to make a separate update for the PC version next time since the game's file size is becoming quite significant, especially for the 2K version.
One of the animations with Luna turned out a bit blurry due to a camera focus issue. I've started rendering a corrected version, but it'll take about five days, so I won't wait for it. It's not too bad, and I'll include the fixed version in the next update.

Chp.3 - 2024-02-12
Chapter 3 is now fully completed. The current update contains 11,000 words, 252 renders, and 10 animations.
In addition to the storyline continuation, the following features have been added to the game:
- An intro at the start of the game. (I highly recommend watching it. Just start a new game and then you can load your old save.)
- Sounds in 18+ scenes. (I spent a lot of time selecting the right music volume so it wouldn't drown out the sounds, but I'd love to hear your opinion. Maybe the volume needs adjusting.)
- The main menu has been changed, with a separate animation added.
- Some old renders have been edited in Photoshop to improve color reproduction.
- The UI has been optimized, eliminating pauses between transitions in the game menu.

Chp.3 Part 1 - 2023-11-25
This is the first part of the third chapter. It contains 4,000 words, 120 renders, and four animations.
All scenes are with Eva and one of them 18+ (Eva solo).
In addition, the lighting in the dream scene with Eva at the beginning has been completely redone, and a large amount of scenes from previous chapters have been edited in Photoshop. Mostly, color correction was done (I noticed that some scenes had a green tint, which was not noticeable, but after correction, the render became much better).
Also, this update is released on a new version of Ren'py. This is due to the video playback issues I encountered with the previous version; the video was lagging. In this new version, I've tested it, and everything is much better, but I still would not recommend downloading the 2k version on very old computers.
Unfortunately, due to the change in version, there may be issues with old saves. Everything loaded fine for me, but I can't guarantee 100% compatibility. By issues, I mean it might not be possible to load them or errors may appear after loading. If the save starts without issues, you can continue playing, there should be no problems with the variables.

Demo
Initial Release

With Eyes Closed is a thriller in the adult visual novel genre. It concentrates on storytelling, realistic characters, and letting players control the development of the story. The game also features plenty of hot scenes that are interwoven into the storyline.

KEY FEATURES
Branching storyline. Your decisions determine how the story is told.
Ultra quality visuals. The game is available in 2k QHD resolution (optional).
Extremely smooth animations. All animations are done in 60 fps and are also available in 2k QHD (optional).
Next gen character models. All main characters use Genesis 9 model, which was released in late 2022. Genesis 9 brings double the mesh density and 8K HD materials. This means more detailed mouth textures and shapes, higher quality eyes, eyelashes, and eyebrows, less stylized/more natural postures and so much more!
A thoroughly designed storyline. The game is planned as a three-year project and the plot is already fully ready from start to finish. This eliminates the problem of absence of further ideas in the middle of the story, inconsistencies, and poorly thought-out details, which can occur when the story is developed in parallel with the development of the game.

Guarantees that the project will be completed. Unfortunately, visual novels developed by indie developers with funding from Patreon often ends up unfinished. The main reason is that individuals take on development without realizing how many resources it will take to complete it.

As for me, I've already had a fully completed and released project on Steam (85% positive feedback and over 20,000 copies sold). I have a clear understanding of how much effort it will take to complete the next one. I always stick to updated release schedules. Throughout the development of Going Rogue, I have never broken any of my promises to Patrons and all updates have been released on time. Last but not least, after releasing the previous game on Steam, I switched to full-time game development so I can devote all my time to the game.

MAIN CHARACTERS
Kate
A redheaded beauty, trustworthy, and always ready to help. You could hardly wish for a better friend, especially one with such curves.
Eva
Blonde doctor with big blue eyes. Can you find out what lies behind the mask of a self-sufficient and icy woman?
Luna
A young lady in distress, and you're the only one who can come to her aid. But how will she reward you?
And many other girls are waiting for you!
