VN - Ren'Py - Jason, Coming of Age [v1.7.1-s] [CoeurDeCochon]

Nice looking girls but so far this game is not much better than when I played it quite a while ago as well. In fact there is barely any extra material from then which would indicate any updates since then are well, shit.

This game is still a game of forplay with some really, pathetic tiny sex tossed in for good measure. Seems like the Dev. wants to make a story but is so stoned they can't figure out what kind of story they really want it to be. Is it a sex story? Ummm. No. That would be to fun. Is it a love story? Ummmm. No. That would be too nice. Is it a mystery? Ummm. Hell no. To exciting. Is it a puzzler. Ummmm. No. Again too fun. I know. Lets make it a horror. But shit I don't really know how to write one of those. Lets sprinkle it all together and see what grows. Yeah that's it.

Not very thrilled with what is gpong on here as I can't really wrap my head around the BS that is being pushed here. Guess I just haven't got high enough yet.

Nice looking characters. Have no fucking clue where any of it is going though. Want to like them but sadly they are written so damn badly that I can't attach to any of them. Especially not the so poorly presented family members. And those are usually the ones you bond to first. Nope not here.

Character has a job but has been there ONCE in the whole thing. Not even sure what that fucking job is as he has been a technician, a plumber, and an electrician all in one day. WTF? Like I said, how do you bond with this insane BS? Its all over the damn map.

It gets a 3 only because the girls look nice. The teasing has been sexy. And there is a shit ton of teasing. The game environment has been nice as well. But that is far as I am giving the Def. Nice at. The rest has been a complete clusterfuck with no coherent rhyme or reason to it. The story is incoherent and completely pointless. Oh and the fucking 40's cliffhanger ending? LMAO. I don't know about that. My dude is apparently the antichrist so I am not sure I am interested in returning after that.

I dont make reviews for many games, but i really need to take this out of my chest!

I think this has a GREAT potential to be something really good like Depraved Awakening or City of Broken Dreamers.
Im not a big fan of IA but this really enhances the experience so that is a big plus without a doubt. Big ups for the Render guy!
I think the Node Save System is cool and lets you keep track on alternative choices.

BUT there is so much fluff with no flavor:
- the Fake Chart that makes you take that doesnt even open you to new dialogue or options.
- Too many characters with no reason but put more characters.
- They want to dabble on incest but they dont go much further (for now).
- Even with the really good idea of the Node Save System, there are no so many choices (For now) like really makes you want to dabble on the alternative choices.
- Locking the Skip text/Fastfoward option post game is awful, i know why some devs do it but please just DONT.

A Real negative for me is the writing. Like the story is kinda messy and im not a big fan of Supernatural Brainwash Charisma MCs like i really want it to be like a Normal dude being naturally charismatic and REALLY being a Coming of Age story.

Big Potential in this game but PLEASE fix this issues

Oh my God, what an absolutely awesome game! It's like stepping into another world. The video sequences are superbly done, allowing you to immerse yourself in the game right away. But the story is amazing, so back to the topic at hand. It takes a little while to get into it, but then you can't stop. The plot is so well thought out and exciting that you become addicted and want to keep playing for hours. The long texts could be a slight downside. I have to admit that I was a little put off at first. But honestly, you get used to it very quickly, which is important because the dialogues and cutscenes are a fundamental part of the story. Not only does it have breathtaking graphics and thrilling movie sequences, but also an exciting plot that captivates you. Simply magnificent!

Oh mein Gott, was für ein absolut geiles Spiel! Wie direkt in eine andere Welt. Videosequenzen sind hervorragend gemacht, was es ermöglicht, sofort in das Spiel einzutauchen. Aber die Geschichte ist der Hammer, also zurück zum Thema. Man braucht ein wenig, bis man reinkommt, aber dann kann man nicht mehr aufhören. Die Handlung ist so gut durchdacht und spannend, dass man förmlich süchtig wird und stundenlang weiterspielen möchte. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen könnten die langen Texte sein. Ich muss zugeben, dass ich anfangs ein wenig abgeschreckt war. Aber ganz ehrlich, man gewöhnt sich sehr schnell daran und das ist auch wichtig, denn die Dialoge und Zwischensequenzen sind ein elementarer Bestandteil der Story. Es besitzt nicht nur eine atemberaubende Grafik und mitreißende Filmsequenzen, sondern auch eine spannende Handlung, die einen in ihren Bann zieht. Einfach grandios!

Seemingly, the latest update brought nightmarish AI animations and funny design choices, like locking the skipping text option, make the save system a "Create your own flowchart" thing and... character creation? I was slightly interested in the game thanks to a previous version, but this one killed it.

I'm not entirely sure why this is rated so damn highly. I have not read any other reviews, but my guess would be is the other reviewers mostly only looked at the visuals. That's it. They look at the renders, and animations and are like "BEAUTIFUL! 5 STARS BABY! YEA!" But, I have looked far past that in my own review, and I will break it down.

Okay, for starters the game is what I would consider a "Gilded Game". By gilded I mean it has a thin layer of gold on the outside, that is the surface level but a rotten core on the inside. So imagine a candy apple dipped in gold, but it's a rotten apple under the golden shell. That is this game.

What brings it up to a 3 star game instead of a 1 star game is the rendering / animations. The development team did a great job with that, but not much else. If it was just this render guy working another good dev I'd give it 5 stars. The render guy comes through clutch making this awful game tolerable.

Render Guy? A+ Job well done
Writing guy? Failed
Coding Guy? Failed

Why did the writing & code guys fail?

Code guy fails for trying to be unique, but in the process becoming worse than the norm. Skipping text is blocked until you make it to the end and start a new game. Then the saving mechanic is awful. It tries to build it's own unique save style with different color codes, and a weird mechanic, but ends up making it far more difficult to use than just a normal default renpy save setup.

Writing guy fails because the story is not coherent enough, and jumps around a lot. So, you start by talking to a therapist? That asks your sexual orientation? Straight, Bi, Gay? Okay... And this does nothing at all for the gameplay or scenes you can get. Picking gay does not make it so you get only gay scenes possible, and picking bi does not add any gay scenes, it's straight scenes, with the option for a girl to be a t-girl. So, that initial choice on what sort of content the player wants is a total non-starter. You are going to get straight scenes with optional t-girls no matter what you choose.

A lot of the coding is unnecessary fluff. That changes none of the gameplay. It's like add 10 points to figure out where you are sexually when it comes to being respectful or a peeping tom? Wtf? The base pick your stats change nothing as far as I can tell, and are limited.

The game has far more potential love interests than actual scenes with any of them.

Then they waste even more of the render guy's time by forcing in 5 different pubic hair options for all the women love interests... It is an unnecessary bloat to a game that is already slow on what is developing. That means every sex scene / animation is going to need 5 different animations / renders based on the level of pubic hair!

So, by the writer / code guy adding the pubic hair feature they have essentially multiplied the render guys load by 5 for all the sex scenes, plus the t-girl options added as well for some of them... It's bloat!

When in reality almost all players would be happy with either just always "Smooth shaven" or "Neatly trimmed bush". Very few men out there want a big thick forest of pubic hair, and guys who like that are usually satisfied by the neatly trimmed bush.

Honestly the render guy should just run, and start his own game, with a new team, or join an established game.

I don't know what the team makeup is... But if it's all 1 guy... They should just abandon the project and join up with a competent writer / coder who will be able to direct them how to actually make a game.

Story wise there is not much there... It's like you are some 25 year old dude that has 2 best friends. A red head and a black dude. Then you get this cat that transforms into a furry, or a clown chick that wants to fuck you. Plus you get this magic amulet and a hooker almost gets you killed rescuing her, but you talk to the therapist in the beginning. And you got a new job at some office too, and there is this t-girl there that wants to bang.

They don't know how to write a coherent story or build a plot... It's like just throwing spaghetti at the wall and calling it art. And choices seem to either mean almost nothing, or a lot.

v1.7.1-s

In latest patch we got lots of new things, but also some of the old stuff didn´t make it in this patch. Biggest updates were prologue and AI videos. I personally love how sexual build up and AI videos flow so well together. In prologue, the lingerie shop scene was masterful showcase of this. Sure faces look little off, even so much that they don´t look like a same person, but asses and breasts did look almost real at best. With good use of camera angles, loop usage and perfect amount of jiggle movement, some loops did look even sexier than regular porn.

If AI videos can get to quality of best cases from this game and cut work needed for animations, I am all for AI clips in every game. Not saying that we should accept when faces in AI clips look totally different from base game. Like the main red head had so unique face that AI did butcher it pretty badly by making it more general looking.

The game has perfect plot for AVN game, good writing (love the magic semen cum shots) and already great looking sex scenes now made better with tons of video clips (some looking superb, some little weird). Only thing we need is that this game would stop restarting. Some authors try to create masterpiece, without ever finishing. Some make same game again and again. Both are valid ways to milk customers, but not to make memorable games.

The graphics and characters are very good. The dialogues are also very good. Congratulations to the developer and I hope they keep updating. One of the best games out there. I will be eagerly awaiting the next update.

bad decision after bad decision im not against the background AI but relying 100% on it for even unnecessary ugly animations yikes the story is not worth the removal of the fast forward button , i dont get those change thats just feel like lazyness

I just tried playing for the first time. I have to say that the graphics are beautiful, the characters look good, the plot is interesting. Although very interesting, but the AI is used too often, making the quality and charm of the characters disappear. And the movement seems to not care about the work done. The movement is lifeless. The reliance on AI is okay, but now it is used too much that the charm of the game is completely lost. I feel like it should be another good game, but the AI ruins it. Really disappointing. I will give only this score for now. My feelings.

Lazy developer. All animations in this AVN were made with sloppy AI just to finish the game and manage to place on Steam and gather some sloppy bucks.
Kinda sad because this game had some future, it had a good character design, it had an interesting story and it was one of the most customizable AVN game i ever seen.
So it's really sad seeing that the dev got lazy and though that placing AI videos in every scene (including for erotic and non-erotic scenes) was the right call.

Wow!... This version truly deserves all the praise and stars possible.
Congratulations to the developer, who has already accustomed us to stunning graphics with magnificent taste.
Thank you so much for this delightful gift, and I'm looking forward to more.

1 star is fit for this lastest version
It's became very frustrating experience I don't recommended

It's use to be really good just a version before but why remake it and make it so damm bad. I never seen any devs or game have such a downgrade on their own game. I'm sure It's isn't any better on steam either

this game
- locked out everything
- need a new playthrough
- lock unseen text skip
- one of the worst gallery I seen in F95 game
- click click click and click still going nowhere

damm this ruined my day.

Great game so far. The animations are great, usually very smooth and at good camera angles. Some humorous dialogue sprinkled throughout a serious tone, and some good customization for H scenes and how characters interact. While I'm personally not a fan of some of the fetishes, I still appreciate how they've been presented.

A few grammatical/spelling errors and places where (Your Name) should appear but "Jason" appears instead, but it didn't rip me from the story entirely, except That kinda killed that scene for me despite how good the questions and responses were written.

Without a doubt, one of the most underrated games on the site. The quality of graphics and scenes is top level. The plot and dialogues are written with high quality and you want to read them, not skip them. I would like more updates, but the developer is already doing a lot of work.

Sloppy writing, stupid nonsensical plot and unconvincing characters. The game itself looks pretty good and has a good variety in women (including grannys, bushes, bbws), but its not enough to salvage the writing.

Its not even good for gooning because the sex scenes are rubbish,only half animated and last for five seconds.

I may have persisted with it but the rapey clown who transforms into a cat was my breaking point. I'm sure that it will be explained later but I'm not sticking around to find out. You just can't drop something like that on the player without build up and explanation first.

[v0.11.1]

Let's start with the obvious, title of this game should be like "Hairy Pubes and Magical Stone". I understand that everybody has some kind of kinks and preferences but amount of hairy pubes dev put in here is... for my personal taste disgusting. At some point we can set amount of hairs for specific characters but not for all of them and by default they've never seen or use the razor. It's not like "some hair in there", no, it's pure wilderness...

RENDERS
Renders quality is fine although they have this greenish filter or whatever it is, very specific for older AVN games, which (personal preference) I don't like. Characters often look weird, pale, inconsistent and they look way better on dialogue photo than "in reality". World itself is nicely build, a lot of coherent assets, locations are more or less real-like.

Characters face expressions and body language... THEY ARE BAD, especially MC's. Often they look absurd and totally disproportionate to situation/what character said. At one second MC acts cocky and the next one like a girl, and it's going on and on... At the beginning of the game we can set if we are straight/bi/gay and it seems like dev combined all specific behaviors into one, making it very incoherent and satirical.

STORY
Tough one. At the start I found this magic stone thing intriguing but in time I didn't like the way it went. I don't want to spoil things here but yea... not my thing. Overall it's mediocre.

WRITING
It has it's moments but in crucial moments it's bad. Casual talk between friends is just casual talk between friends (fine by me) but saying to the whore we met yesterday that we love her? Her saying she loves MC? WTF. Overall... Mediocre at best.

I would give this game 5.5/10 but because of how disgusted I felt during most of the scenes and while writing this review, 2/5 is all I can do. I'm amazed by how high rated this game is...

Masterpiece! Played tons of VN Renpy games, this absolute masterpiece. Am expecting lots in the near future regarding this game. Could be more choice related in my opinion though.

Graphics 10/10
Story 9/10

Version Played: 0.11.1
Time Played: 4 hours, did a save for each route
Gallery Mode: Yes
Walkthrough: No, but most choices are apparent in terms of which route you will go down.

In spite of this game's high score and kinks up my alley, it was never on my radar, though I have no clue why. I actually stumbled on it thanks to a thread about bushed-out LIs (more on that later) and I am SO glad I did.

Jason starts out as a pretty basic slice of a life story before veering hard to the left bringing a strong supernatural element. (What? You thought these girls liked you for your pleasant personality, good looks and huge cock? C'mon.) Honestly, I wasn't prepared for the supernatural stuff, so it caught me off guard, but overall, the story is intriguing and the sexual encounters are plentiful.

Positives
+ Bush! This is the best game I have ever played in terms of having beautiful bushes. If you, too, are a fan of the hirsute, you can drop everything and download this immediately. (And yes, the LIs have shaved options as well and even somewhere in between.)
+ Good looking LIs with a variety of body types and races. I love that there are Asian LIs (Mizuki and Mia are smoking.) as well as some thiccer gals and, ofc, the whitest of white bread chicks too.
+ Intriguing story
+ Plenty of kinks from mature, gay, trans and more and all left up to the player's discretion to engage with or not

Neutral
= Different paths. I really hate keeping different saves for different routes, which seems to be what you need to do here, but I will gladly do so given how hot everything is.
= The main reason for every woman falling on your dick is magic. It's a means to an end, but if you like the idea of wooing your ladies or having a natural "falling in love" progresion, you ain't gonna find that here.

Negative
- The game moves a little fast from setting up the plot before you're plowing.
- This is a stretch, but because the game is so sex-forward, when it tries to have more serious moments, it undermines them since the sex is so much at the forefront.

Honestly, I really can't see anyone taking issue with anything here since all the content is on an opt-in basis. I guess if you despise DAZ3D renders and hate the idea that gay or trans content even exists in the game, regardless of whether or not you have to interact with it, you can jog on, but for everyone else, discover why this game is as highly rated as it is.

Note to Devs: Not much to say. Keep the content and glorious bush coming!

This game is just to overrated, story starts out alright and it leads you to belive game will be choice driven, but still story starts by MC getting raped where it also forced anal shit and its done by an extremly ugly clown...yeah not kidding...that pretty much killed the good game vibe for me.

And why the rape? to give MC power so girls will drop their panties the second they meet MC....so yeah a plot that has been overused way to much in porn games and its boring as fuck, also MC now gets boners from nothing like a 12 year old kid.....and ofc MC has to fuck girls to gain power for the deamon now living inside him....so it has all the boring plots.

As for relationship build up its just to fast, first girl you meet spends the night in MCs bed and she gives you a BJ in the morning, so in other words there are no build up what so ever.

Game talks about routes and paths and choices but truely there are not much of that, from the very start some extremly ugly granny is all over you kissing you showing her ugly tits and what can you do? absolutly nothing to stop any of it, MC is purely a passive doll that just sits there and does nothing.

Then we get to hospital scene where it now forces beastiality on you? wheres the fuck is the tag for that?

And the hole hooker dream scene is the most cringy shit ive seen, 2 out of 3 choices your given is to talk to Maria like shes your one true love??? thats when you turned her down? very very poorly made.

Girls are hot and i like quite a few of them, so atleast they got that right and theres a good diversity in builds as well, from smallsh tits to huge saggy ones.

Animations are below average really, very short and barely any movement and virgin/deflower scenes are absolutly shit, but atleast they dident put a virgin tag on so thats good.

Choices im not really sure how to rate those, some are cringy as fuck and alot of shit is forced on you and when a game starts forcing shit it normaly never stops doing it and it can truely ruin any game, worst of all alot of choices is pretty much the same, theres just no fuck off or say no button.

Content progress is very very slow, its only at episode 2 after more then 3 years...

How it goes so high rating i will never understand, the forced shit and the locked fast forward and cringy dialogs and choices....its just a no for me cant recommend this what so ever.

There are things in this game that are excellent and I wish more devs would utilize them.
One of these is the ability to tailor the level and style of pubic hair to your liking. I'm always wishing more games had good pubic hair, but a lot of people don't like and I hear it's difficult to render. This gives everyone their preference. Incredible really.

Then there are things that made me stop playing the game. Unfortunately, the game quickly turned into a supernatural magical pussy magnet game with a psycho batman clown that you have to fuck. I might be able to get past the clown thing but the game got old fast and lost a lot of appeal when the main character automatically has every woman he meets wanting to drop their panties for him because of some supernatural magical power. No build up, no flirtation or situational foreplay. That was the main reason I gave up on the game rather quickly.
