Nuts, just try the VN engine at Unity for street cred...

Update after so long
I am sorry, I have been distracted by the missing Malaysian Airlines plane which disappeared on 08 March 2014. I am very active on Twitter trying to monitor what has happened.
Meanwhile, I have tried to find out other ways to deliver my visual novels to gamers. I am considering moving to an interactive video experience for gamers. This means I need to create mini-videos of my visual novels. I do not know how well the concept will translate across media platforms. Some people don't feel safe downloading and installing executable files from the internet (as in the Ren'Py compiled game, for example). Interactive Video Visual Novel (IVVN) Games may be a solution.
From the gameplay point of view, IVVNs may not allow game scoring at this time. We shall see about that. At the very least, it will be closer to a Choose Your Own Adventure format.
Will it be too much if a bishie hero were 3D CG animated ? I guess not, right ? Most of the high-end games like Final Fantasy have bishie heroes in their video stories. Here we go, then.

White Day 2014 !
The guys of Urban Romance have prepared White Day presents for Erica, our heroine !
We have taken a peek at what they are giving her. Here's what she will be getting !
Smart bracelet from cyber-ninja Snow, so that he can track her any time and collect data about her - hey, that's a bit over-protective.
Necklace from popular artist and designer Falcon; a very modern design, made by him in his own studio.
Golden heart key from hot rock star Yu: to unlock his heart, perhaps ? It is a spare key to his luxury apartment.
Antique carousel music box from uber-wealthy Noir, and it is a very expensive item.
Teddy Bear soft toy from top actor WooHyung, because... well, read the story to find out, if you don't already know !
Bunny soft toy from pop idol Sweetheart, because he thinks it's cute and suits Erica.
Bento lunch box from Noah, made by him. He's thinking about the meals he and Erica have enjoyed cooking together.
And oh, what's this ? A hand-held vanity mirror from a mystery person !

Romance Urban Valentine's Day 2014
Words, concept and art by Juniper Chew.
http://ibr-remote.deviantart.com
Our heroine Erica has decided to try the modern Japanese way of celebrating Valentine's Day: the girl gives the guy chocolates or presents. Let's check out what she's prepared for 14 February 2014.
Anatomical Heart Model for Noah, for his medical research referencing - or simply for interior decoration of his apartment, which is next door to Erica's.
Elaborate Heart Brooch for Noir's dinner jacket, to suit his lifestyle as a member of society's elite; it's not a very expensive present because of Erica's limited budget.
Locked Hearts office desktop decoration, for Snow a.k.a. William Yuki, because he is always leaving on a work assignment, who knows where or what.
Box of Chocolates for Falcon, because he needs to feed two faithful lackeys in his art projects team.
Simple Red Heart slightly askew, for WooHyung, to indicate a slightly wonky relationship.
An arrow almost piercing an open heart, for Yu, because he can be so close and then, not quite.
A baby-pink simple sweet heart, for Sweetheart (soon to be known as SweetHEAT); for a younger guy who needs more time, perhaps.
Next month, to complete the custom, the guys will have to reciprocate on White Day. What will they give Erica then ? Check back to find out !
