About the Game

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...
