Hello everyone, While working on the capsule art for the upcoming episode's Steam page, I realized that the render would make a fantastic desktop wallpaper. So here it isenjoy!
This scene is from the new chapter currently in development, although the girl's outfit will be slightly different in the game. Unfortunately, I can't attach files directly here on Steam. However, you can download the wallpaper in three different resolutions4k, 2k, and 1kabsolutely free from the post on my Patreon.

Hey everyone, I'm excited to share some behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the 7th chapter of **With Eyes Closed**! This time around, I decided to start with the animations to keep my graphics cards busy rendering 24/7. It's been a fun and rewarding process, and I can definitely see a big leap in quality. Looking back at animations from earlier chapters, like the third or fourth, I initially thought about reusing some by tweaking them a bit. But honestly, they just don't match up to what I can do now! I've realized how important those small details are in bringing animations to life. So far, I've nearly wrapped up one of the two intimate scenes in the next chapter. The first one, with Eva, is quite impressiveit includes a whopping 16 animations! Out of those, 14 are all prepped and ready for rendering, and the last two will be good to go in the next few days. Most of these animations have over 400 frames each, which means a lot of rendering time. It'll take over a month on my two trusty 3090s . But while that's happening, I'll be fully immersed in working on text and crafting those static renders. Plus, I'm planning to upgrade my graphics cards soon! I've upped the rendering time for each frame to retain more sharpness, avoiding denoisers and enhancing image quality. Here are a few renders from the scene with Eva, and I promise to show you some animations next time!



Thanks so much for being part of this journey with me. Your support means the world!

Hello everyone, I wanted to provide you with a status update on the development of the next season of **With Eyes Closed**. The sixth chapter is now complete and marks the beginning of a new season. This chapter delves into two narrative threads based on your choices from the first season, with one path focusing on a romantic relationship with Eva and another alternative storyline involving Luna. As always, Kate will have a significant role, ensuring that there's something for everyone.
The new chapter includes: - 422 renders - 15,000 words - 24 animations I've made significant efforts to enhance the visual and auditory experience, improving the quality of renders, animations, and sound elements. My aim is to ensure that every scene resonates with you, both visually and emotionally.
In addition to the chapter's release on Patreon, Im working on launching the Steam page for the new season, so keep an eye out for that. This upcoming season will be available on Steam only after it is fully completed, thoroughly tested, and free of any bugs. If you wish to play during the development process or simply want to support me financially, you can do so on my Patreon. Please note that this is by no means necessary, as all updates regarding the development status will also be posted here on Steam. I actually recommend waiting for the complete season on Steam for the best experience, but if youre eager to join the journey early, here is the link to my Patreon. Thank you for your unwavering support and patience. Your feedback continues to be invaluable. Stay tuned for more updates here on Steam. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!

Hello everyone, Thank you all for your participation and feedback in the recent poll about introducing voice acting for the main female characters in **With Eyes Closed**. After reviewing the results, it's clear that while some of you find voice acting important, the majority feel its nice to have but not essential, with many expressing that it doesn't matter much to them. Based on your feedback, I've decided not to pursue voice acting at this time. Instead, I will allocate those resources and efforts toward other areas to enhance the overall game experience. Your suggestions have been invaluable, and I want to ensure that my focus aligns with what matters most to you. Additionally, I've noted the many comments regarding the importance of music within the game. I'll be sure to incorporate your feedback as I move forward.

Hello everyone, I need your valuable input on an important decision that could enhance your experience with **With Eyes Closed**.

Your opinion matters greatly to me, so please let me know how important this is to you. Options: - Very important - Nice to have, but not essential - Voice acting doesn't matter to me Unfortunately, Steam doesn't allow for direct polling.

#### Camila
Camila is a woman you'll meet under rather unusual circumstances. To obtain crucial information, you must trick her into sending money to scammers. Is the price too high, and might honesty be more important than the information you seek? Can you find an alternative path, or will you deceive her? The choice is yoursbut remember, every action has its consequences.

#### Olivia

#### Melinda
A shrewd broker dealing in information sales and providing discreet services. In this first season, your relationship will be strictly business. But if mature women spark your interest, you might find yourself laying the foundation for something more intimate. Will you dare to explore beyond professional boundaries?
#### Betsy
A vivacious bar waitress (and much more). Shes ready to show you the local rooms, especially if youre willing to loosen your purse strings. Are you ready to see what secrets those intimate corners hold?
#### Harper
A mysterious girl you only catch a glimpse of, but somehow you're certain she'll play a crucial role in the future.

Eva stands out as a self-reliant and independent woman who appears to think solely of her own survival. But is this hardened exterior just a survival tactic? And why did she decide to help you?
Your actions will determine whether she becomes your most loyal partner or remains a calculating individual with her own secretive agenda. Do you have what it takes to unveil the real Eva beneath the cold facade?

Luna is a naive, young girl who, like you, is lost in this new place. She will need your help, and if, unlike most others, you treat her with kindness, you will become her knight in shining armor.
As the story progresses, watch her bloom from a typical 'damsel in distress' into an extraordinary individual capable of profound growth and a burning desire to help others. Can you be the support she needs to uncover her true potential?

Hey there! The release date is just around the corner (mark your calendars for August 16th!), and I think it's time to start sharing what you can expect from "With Eyes Closed." I'm not going to dive into the captivating plot, the choices that significantly impact the story, or the deeply developed charactersyou probably already expect that if you've played my previous game (Going Rogue) :) Let's jump straight to the ladies who will accompany you on this thrilling journey! Meet Kate!
Her name is Kate 'Archer,' and she's about 25 years old. You'll encounter her at the very beginning of the game, and she will most likely be the first main love interest with whom you can develop a romantic relationship. (But don't expect her to fall for you easily; she's a respectable girl :)
Kate is friendly, helpful, and refreshingly honest, often cutting straight to the chase. Unlike you, she is well-versed in the intricacies of this place and will be your main guide for quite some time. Though she doesn't need much from you beyond genuine sincerity, she will prove to be a trustworthy ally capable of handling her own issues. Can you reciprocate her honesty and build a deep connection?
