[DEMO RELEASED] Artemis [Dating Sim] [Romance/Drama/Sci-Fi]

[Volta]

ABOUT:
Artemis is a space-themed dating sim set in a semi-realistic future timeline. It involves space pirates, wars between the independent governing bodies of planets in the Sol system. After massive leaps in technology, humanity has all but conquered the solar system and even some nearby stars and asteroid belts. But with these advancements came grave sacrifices, large gaps in wealth between those who made it rich, political elites, high ranking military officials and the general populace has pushed most to the brink.

You awaken, finding yourself floating in space, your oxygen supply running low. Just as you are losing the last slimmers of hope you had at grasping onto life an unconventional crew of spacefarers manages to rescue you from your all but certain demise. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, you don't remember who you are or how you got there in the first place. Will this random encounter with your saviours mark a new page in your life? Start the wheels to regaining what you lost? Are you prepared for the possible sacrifices you will have to make and the consequences they will bring?



CHARACTERS:

• Aklon (the protag/MC):

You have black hair, dark brown eyes and are in your early 20s. Your memories are all but gone after some unforeseen circumstances led to amnesia. The characters name and personality are all but up to you and your choices throughout the storyline.

• Lys (the ships captain):

She has long muted light-blue hair, a strong yet caring personality, although she may try to hide it behind a disciplined nature. You get the feeling if the decision were left to her she probably wouldn't have opted to rescue you from your fated death in space, not that she is heartless or anything, it just burdens her with taking care of an unknown found drifting in space.

• Taya (the ships mechanic):

She has bright pink hair that trails just past her shoulders complemented by an even brighter child-like personality. If something is on her mind, she isn't afraid to voice her thoughts outright. She doesn't get on that well with the captain but does her work dutifully nonetheless.

• Kana (the ships nurse):

Taya's older sister, she has slightly less saturated pink hair that flows down to her upper waist. She has a friendly yet manipulative personality, her feelings rarely show, and when they do you can't be certain they aren't just a facade. There are a few unsavoury rumours going around about her, but nothing that has been strictly confirmed yet.

• And a lot of other characters to be added once the rest are fleshed out.
