Overview

Under The Lens is a 3D visual novel for players who enjoy corruption stories with a photography backdrop. The tone stays grounded, following one man's slide from struggling professional into something else entirely.

Story

A freelance photographer chasing a break in Hollywood gets pulled into a scheme by his agent friend Eddie, who sets up a shoot with celebrity model Em Myers. What looks like a normal job turns out to be the opening move in Eddie's larger plan, with the protagonist's camera serving as the tool that sets everything in motion.

Gameplay

Play unfolds through photoshoot sessions where the protagonist interacts with models under Eddie's direction, with choices shaping how each session and relationship develops. Side stories branch off the main shoots, and short minigames break up the visual novel pacing. Decisions carry weight, including at least one path that can end the run outright.

Features

3D character art built around a photography setting
Multiple side stories running alongside the main shoots
Branching outcomes, including a distinct game-over path
Corruption-focused narrative with gender-bender and group scenes woven into the plot
