Smoke & Brass Studio makes The Velvet Ledger, an adult (18+) neo-noir mystery romance visual novel built in Ren'Py, with stylized 3D-rendered art. An undercover charmer takes a bartending job at a jazz lounge and moves into an old boarding house hiding a secret ledger, while four women could expose him or fall for him. The game is story-driven, with slow-burn romance, player choices and consensual adult scenes. Subscribers get early access to new episodes (released every 4-6 weeks), devlogs and previews, story polls, HD render galleries, and work-in-progress builds. All characters are fictional, unrelated adults aged 18 or older. There is no content involving minors, family relationships or non-consent.
