Tales from Afar is a Ren'Py kinetic novel series created by Nemiegs. It presents short, unrelated stories built around a world where life on planet Zeme has continued peacefully for centuries, powered by technological and human progress, until a sudden shift changes everything. The game uses animated 3DCG visuals and explores themes such as monster girls, school settings, and science fiction.
Development is ongoing, with the current build being Issue 6, released on January 25, 2024. The game runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, is offered in English, and is uncensored. The numbered issue format shows this is a continuing collection rather than a finished single story. In the previous changelog for Issue 5, Nemiegs added 294 images and 38 animations, with several special ones included, and described trying new camera work and animation techniques.

Issue 5
The moment has arrived, albeit a bit fashionably late – almost two weeks behind schedule. It's been a while since I sat idly by, watching animation frames render. This time, I took the opportunity to explore some new techniques, both in camera work and animation creation. I'm pretty pleased with many aspects of my work, although some things didn't meet my expectations. However, I've identified my mistakes and devised solutions for the future.
This collection has 294 new images and 38 animations, including several special ones.

Short summary: This is not a game, its a series of comics, without any choices, centered around the public humiliation and abuse. Good Things renders are hit or miss, but some are pretty good animations are often good initially intriguing…

While Special Request is one of the best games on the site this one skips all of the build up and progression that makes SR great. Corruption and embarrassment themes work because we engage with the character and experience how…
StingerWolf2024-02-08★★★★★
If you like male domination, this one is for you. It depicts a better world, as thing should be, and not the way they are IRL. Visuals are quite good. It is rather uniquely structured, needs a bit time to…
