Secrets in Focus [Chapter 3 – Day 5] [Studio BMK]

November 23, 2025F95

Overview:
Secrets in Focus is a visual novel that blends sharp humor, romance, and a creeping mystery into one cinematic story.
You live with Ember—whose teasing warmth hides deeper scars. Returning from a break, you start a new job as a systems engineer at a model agency, where IT jargon collides hilariously with photo-shoot chaos.

Among your colleagues are Blair, the razor-tongued teamlead who respects backbone more than charm; Anaru, the bright psychology student who paints people better than she understands herself; Hana, the calm and quietly insightful junior stylist; Indica, a grounded free spirit who teaches yoga and perspective; Vanessa; former model and the owner, suspiciously hard to read; and Nigel, a buzzword-spewing manager convinced synergy is a lifestyle.

What begins as workplace banter and late-night teasing at home slowly unravels into something darker. Mara, a model tied to the agency, has vanished—and the trail leads alarmingly close to Ember’s family. Every choice—whether you chase truth, protect those you love, or flirt with disaster—changes not only who you trust, but who you become.

Will you find connection, clarity, or consequences too heavy to bear?
In Secrets in Focus, every decision leaves a trace—some digital, some emotional, and some impossible to delete.

To comply with Patreon and Steam rules: Rewrote the script so that Ember always is your roommate, no choice anymore for her being your stepsister. Use the incest patch if you want Ember to be your sister. The patch will never be available on Patreon or Steam. The patch will work for all future versions.
Added an in-game phone gui. Rewrote the several text messages so that it uses the phone. The phone will be used for messages to and from other characters, plus for receiving photos from the other characters. I’m unable to test myself, but it should work on the Android port once a new version is released by KoGa3.

Developer Notes:

Welcome to my first game ‘Secrets in Focus’. Any feedback is welcome, I hope you like it!

The game will have several romantic branches.

19-10-2025:

This big update was done really fast because of a few weeks of 14 hours a day in my holiday. That will not be the norm though. I’m hoping for the future to have similar sized updates, I think I would aim at somewhere between 2,5 to 4 months per update.

What’s next?

I have a few things on my “to do” / “to learn” list.

~~An android port~~ (Done, thanks to the amazing KoGa3)
~~A steam release~~
Animations for the sex scenes
~~Add an in-game mobile phone for messages and images~~
~~Improve my “inpainting” skills so characters fit into the background better and lighting improvement~~
