Bare Witness
Starting a new life is difficult enough. Moving to upstate New York for art school was a change you looked forward to. But you’ve got a history, and you quickly discover you can’t quite leave that history behind. This is an adult visual novel with many paths (and 11 primary endings!) and lots of replay potential. Pursue solo relationships with each of the girls, or a poly relationship with a select few!
This is a pure visual novel experience: No grind, no minigames, no free-roam, and no sandbox. Just a story where you take control of the narrative and engage only those love interests you’re most enamored of. When the game is done, start up again and seek out new roads to take and new romances to play out!
Enjoy wholesome romance in your adult games? Bare Witness has you covered: with all the face-touching, hand-holding, and affirmations of love you can handle! Fans have called it: “Engaging,” “heartwarming,” “a masterpiece,” and “an emotional rollercoaster.” One player said “Bare Witness will leave a hole in your life once you’re done playing.” Another wrote “This game is fire: Breathes you in, sucks up all the oxygen in and around you, then burns you to a crisp in a matter of minutes.”
Yeah, we think they’re nuts, too, but you might agree with them! Only one way to know…

Its nice to see a game that gets finished. I get so annoyed with these other games that take forever and then just, dont finish. Writing is good. I approve.

For those people who like Adult visual Novels.
I would recommend this game for the following reason's
1) You are purchasing a completed game there I said it the game is complete! This is certainly a positive given my personal experience with other titles that are abandoned or you have to wait years for update's.
2) Player choices are build into the game a positive again.
3) Animations and renders very well done.
4) Multiple endings that adds to the replay value of the Game.
5) Love interests many to choose from adding to different endings.
6) Different endings that include Single partner, Duel partner. Multiple Partner's (Harem).
Story I would have to say it is well written and Immersive so I would give it a 10 out of 10.
So I would recommend this Developer and certainly recommend the GAME!

I would recommend playing. Story was good, if nothing to special. I did enjoy depending on what what girl(s) you were with, the outcome when the sh-t hits the fan towards the end varies.
Good annimation and nice for a avn to not have 90% of the women with unrealistic massive boobs, in fact they were all normal and believable sizes.
Also this is a complete story so no need to wait for the next season.

I got into this game after Athena's cameo in "Come Home". My logic was - if Come Home was REALLY good game with immersive writing and story then this one should be at least as good.
And I wasn't mistaken. It has a different pace, more classic visual novel playthrough, no "freeroam" so to speak, but visuals are really good, characters are engaging, animations are cool.
Main hero is really cool dude too. I would definitely be friends with this dude.
One grain of salt is that soundtrack from the original game (the one that could be downloaded straight from dev site) had to be replaced/modified due to usual copyright issues. It's sad cause the songs are incredible and set the mood and scene atmosphere much better than in this version.
Plenty of scenes have images on hero's phone and monitor blurred for similar reason.
Overall this AVN is definitely worth the time and money.

Got the game because of Athena's cameo in Come Home. Love this game. Great characters, great scenes. My only gripes were with some of the story, specifically the MC's backstory which I felt dragged on a bit too long. All the endings were great from what I've experienced so far, but the MASH harem ending remains peak to me. Bit disappointed that it's missing some combinations I would've liked, like Athena/Sadie but overall still good.

Having now completed all 11 endings, I can review Bare Witness. It's a strong AVN, with a lot going for it, and a few things I think could be done better.
+ Models look great
+ Some of the best animations I've seen in the genre
+ The characters are distinct from each other
+ Doesn't treat women like objects
+ Is intelligible and well written
- The epilogues in each branch are way too long, it just takes forever to reach the conclusion
- The story is really just a device for advancing character relationships, I found it underwhelming
- Re-use of the same render over and over in a scene is really obvious and annoying
- There are timeline discrepancies between branches, sometimes things matter and sometimes they don't
Not a pro or con, but while it doesn't explore a lot of kinks, it goes heavy on breeding, which I found sort of odd but it's not terribly forced on you unless you go all in on Heidi. All the choices in the game are basically "do you want to pursue this person or not", but there is one weird scenario where to achieve the perfect harem ending, you have to talk to one person instead of the other, even though it's ultimately the same decision. Unlocking the entire gallery took quite a few runs, but I think if you focus on one branch at a time it's not so bad.

I played for 7 hours just for one time through. It's a great game. Beautiful story and 11 endings, ohh boy. And it's the branching where you can't just click a branch and get the quick achievement, you have to play all the way through again. Beautiful renders, and animations.If i had any thing bad to say about a small number of renders is that the sub division on surfaces had to be changed on closeups. The pours in the skin get a little big and unnatural. But that is very few renders. Very worth the price, and highly recommend. I will say this is more a vanilla flavor, if your looking for kinks, you aren't going to like it. I don't play with sound, so i can't rate that.
