Artifice [v.0.1 Public] (2026) (Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [Duve]

v0.1 - 2026-06-03
Over 55,000 words of story
Over 1,600 renders
Over 130 music tracks and sound effects
2 new scenes in the gallery
Thousands of lines of code
Revamped UI with new features:
1) Outfit System: All the girls' outfits you unlock as you play are now added to the main menu. This lets you swap them out and create a unique main screen with the girls.
2) Relationship System: Each main girl now has an affection meter showing her current interest in our MC. This meter will change based on your choices and just by progressing through the story.
3) Notification System: You'll now see a notification for every important event in the game. Whether it's a change in a girl's affection, unlocking a new outfit, or whatever else I come up with later.
4) Tooltip System (Glossary): There are now tooltips in the text for unusual or story-important words as you play. Hovering over them gives you a quick rundown so you know what's what.

Prologue 2025-07-11
The game is now available in two new languages: Chinese and Indonesian! Adding them took some time, but they’re finally here for you.
A special thanks to my two translators — they put in a lot of work so you could enjoy the game in your native language.
I’m also excited to share that German will be added soon! Once the translator finishes their work, I’ll include it in the main game version.

Prologue
Over 26,000 words of script,
Over 1,200 renders,
80+ music tracks & sound effects,
A handful of animations (only the ones I deemed essential),
Thousands of lines of code,
Oh, right! A custom UI that’ll give you a little extra insight into the girls you’ll meet along the way...,
And so much more.

I'm Duve, creator of Artifice – a visual novel that'll show you why theater is magic.
(And yes, I'm a total theater nerd)

I’m also all ears for feedback or ideas to make my game better.
I’m still learning and growing every day.
That’s all for now! Thanks for watching.
Curtain call~

But if you came seeking cheap thrills — NTR, incest, or loli...
Take your ticket elsewhere.
My theater has no stage for such performances.
