Zeno's Anthology is an adult visual novel by Chemical Fire, built in Ren'Py. It follows Zeno through lewd episodes involving many women, where he can act as a good or bad figure depending on the story. The game uses 3D CG and animated visuals, and its branching narrative lets you explore different episodes from a male protagonist's point of view. It presents a collection of stories rather than one continuous plot.
The current build is v0.5, released on July 13, 2025, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android, is written in English, and is uncensored. The latest update adds more than 260 renders for the Girlfriend story, nine full animations totaling about 500 renders, updated galleries, a chronological mode, and minor fixes.
Developer's description

Just amazing be it the art , the story just about everything . Having each chapter with some kinetic choices but having the right pacing backed by a great story , choices don't matter anymore . Now to just wait…
HardAtWork2026-01-29★★★★★
Crazy, hot. steamy and spicy novel. Visuals are superb. Dev(s) definitely knows how to model, set light and camera angles, how to animate properly. What I didn't like is a bit 'fever dream' vibe from the plot. MC's sanity is…

Start was a bit surprising, but the novel took a very nice turn with the three main ladies and the MC. Was having a lot of fun with the animation and the characters up to the point where an exception…
