VN - Ren'Py - Jason, Coming of Age [v0.11.1] [CoeurDeCochon]

[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.

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.

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

I cant rate this more then 3 stars and even with that i still feel i might be to nice, but ill give it a chance to improve and try it again later and by later it will proberly be in about 6 years when it hs 3-4 more episodes....

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.

The game is a bit weird plotwise but it is hot. Dickus ex machina magical mumbo jumbo to make MC a fuck machine, I don't mind if the tone of the story is sarcastic and comical but doesn't seem to be the case in this. If you don't mind the plot you can easily play and enjoy this, lot of variety in lewdity. I don't know about the impact of choices, too early in development.

An absolutely fantastic game. I hope it continues soon with Jason and co. I can hardly wait.

The story isn't new, but it's well executed. It's fun to “play” with Jason and the girls. Lots of humor and some exciting parts round off the whole thing. The graphics are also beautiful and the animations are pretty well done. Everything is also completely animated, regardless of whether you choose a male or female partner.

Thanks for a few great hours.

+++ The choice of shaving is fantastic.
+++ The possibility of making choices that influence history.
+++ To be able to create your harem.

Best "vn" tried, hands down.

There is so much to like here! From the unique and detailed character models to their non-cookie-cutter personas and motivations. Every environment is thoughtfully designed. The uniqueness of the models also translates to their genitalia with different types of vulvas and pubes and their body types - finally a game that doesn't constantly throw 90-60-90 bimbos with balloon tits at you. The game also treats LGBTQ+ identities as understood and characters that are (optionally) trans aren't just defined by their trans-ness (if that's a word).

All of these points make playing "Jason" a worthwile and enjoyable experience that I would love to give 5 stars if it weren't for a few caveats.

The story of the game... Well, I don't want to spoil too much, but I was expecting a slice-of-life game and way too suddenly for my taste this narrative went bonkers.
That and the fact that the development cycles seem to be very long let me subtract a star from which I would otherwise say is a great game! I think the author/developer of this game is a perfectionist. Not that there's anything wrong with that! But the level of detail and customization (four different types of pubic hair for most LIs!) requires so much additional work which explains to me the long development time.

I love the character variety shown off so far, especially the openness to gender and sexuality and the acceptance of pubic hair, which is somehow a rarity in adult games. The character designs are particularly well done with very good models and an honestly very attractive MC. I am a fan of bigger body types and would like to see more, but the inclusion of Beverly and Monique do scratch that itch well. I wish I was able to support the creator more but I am very excited for what this game is going to show in the future.

This is a great game, CoeurdeCochon! Great detailed and realistic artwork and a nice, complex, multilayered storyline. Keep up the good work. I would love to see more of it in the near future. Donated on Patreon also.

Extremely good so far! I'm not a big fan of the stuff with Oreo but that's easy enough to skip, the only things I really want that aren't here yet (or that I haven't found) are incest and some femboy/twink content, that said the trans stuff so far is top tier.

v0.11.0 - Solid stuff. Good story, a familiar one about a young man moving out on his own and all the love interests that come along. But different enough from the usual material. Certain flair that gives it an exoticness not seen from the NA or Eastern Euro games. Renders are good, thoughtful and plentiful. My biggest concern will be can the dev(s) maintain a good release pace while keeping the quality so high? We shall see. But already worth checking out.

Jason the MC, is a self proclaimed alpha male. But he looks and acts like a butch lesbian that takes himself too seriously. He is dripping in plot armor, every move he makes is right, he can do no wrong. It gets dull, like pressing the repeat button.

V0.11.0

visually this is not bad. inconsistent, but not an eyesore.

dialogue switched language from english to french for a lot of dialogue.
i chose bald for one girl and got hairy imagery.
the moment santa held up a device with a gem that wipes memory i lost almost all interest. i never got pulled back in.

3 years old and still not far along from when it first got released. all interest in this one has been wiped away as the plot/writing do nothing to build any intrigue for me.
it is not poorly written, just not doing anything for me.
given an average rating but still not something i will return to

I rarely give it 5 because I think games can get better, but this one is already really good.
- An interesting story
- Pretty renders
- Several in-game choices
- Customization of certain characters for certain aspects
- Different types of girl
I highly recommend you give it a try.

Pros

• Fairly good image renders.
• Fairly good quality of animations.
• Play-ability and performance are all just OK no issue

Cons

• Repeated occurrences of clicks notification for journal / gallery update are really annoying.
• Phone interface has virtually no use so far (current ending of v0.10.0a)
• Weird fetishes of hair on genitals.
• Unwanted scenarios like MC’s friend masturbation being caught by his sister unnecessary and had no continuity.
• The game is tagged as incest (MS & BS) but until now [v0.10.0a] there is nothing and some how the sister is lesbian and her girlfriend is indicated as sister-in-law.
• Lack of genuine-sense for sexuality.
• Lack of seductiveness in sexual approach.

Very nice project, waiting for more updates. Nice choices, different styles with different approaches to situations, very cool.

Awesome renders too, made with a nice style and good design. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic renders and an intriguing story! I can't wait for more. There are some hot girls in this game with the ability to change their pubic hair. Really liked Lexi as a girlfriend.
However I feel like it's almost too many women to choose from. Nah, i'm kidding!

I’m relatively new to this category of games, but I have tried like +80 games in the last 10 months, and most games are very forgettable. However, about 15 games are very memorable and I enjoyed them very much on many levels. Jason, Coming of Age really stands out among my personal top-games. It's different in a good way.

I like how it builds up the different personalities of the characters. I also like that most characters have very “normal” looks, both women and men. It’s easier to relate to people of these looks than having perfect models in every scene, it makes them look more real. Personally I find many situations more interesting when there’s diversity among the characters. Here you find young and old, thin and chubby, natural body hair which is very rare to find in these games. The renders are very beautiful most of the time with some exceptions, sometimes I see some backgrounds which look very simple compared to some other renders in the game.

The game is still pretty short so far, but the build up is very good, I can’t wait to see how it develops. Among my favorites this is the game where I am mostly looking forward to the update. So for me this is a 5-star game, however it's’ not perfect, it has its flaws here and there, but the beautiful renders, interesting characters and story makes me love this game.
