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

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.

Giving Jason, Coming of Age (0.10.0a) a 2.9 out of 5 stars for now. It is very short, so don't plan on more than a single day playing it.

+ Decent renders, seems like there's a bit of a grain filter on most for 'realism'
+ Characters have different personalities and are visually real (not everyone is a supermodel, some are either old or very fat)
+ Story has a bit of a twist
+ A few (very few) sex scenes, which don't really ramp up (handjob/blowjob/etc) before going full-on penetration with the characters
+ Animations are decent enough for scenes

- Story twist fails to fully develop before current ending (v0.10.0a)
--- Game is so short after 3+ years of development, I think I only had 5-6 hours of gameplay. Right now it's basically an AVN teaser
- LI interface is a bit nebulous, with bars and other elements not explained
- Phone interface has virtually no use in current build
-- Far too much hair on genitals, though the option to remove with some LIs is present. Seems like the author has a fetish for it and inserted that into the game. Seeing MC's sister in a memory with ungodly amounts of vaginal hair was a complete turn-off, as were some other scenes with it.
-- Christmas 'event' is a bit cheesy and forced into the plot. The power origin story is not very well fabricated as a result.

While the game has promise, and was interesting to play for 5-6 hours, it was unfulfilling from a reader/viewer perspective. Looking at the Patreon page, it seems like too much effort has been put on extra renders and extraneous work instead of the game itself, which is lagging behind any appreciable momentum towards completion. It might take another 6-7 years to finish at the rate it is going.

The artistry in this game is amazing. That, along with the characterization, interesting plotlines, and unique relationships, make this one of the best games going. I wish this peppery pig's heart a long career doing this stuff because they are so damn good. Bravissimaya!

A well deserved 5/5. My only complaint is that there isn't 5 more episodes yet! I love the variety of characters even if some are not my cup of tea its greatly appreciated. You have the ability to unlock and choose a "hairstyle" of your liking for each LI independently which is awesome. This is very much a VN you will go back and play multiple times to try the other choices and you will be rewarded with far different scenes and even different LI's in doing so. Well done.

imo, one of the best adult visual novels, the renders, the music, the characters, the mistery and powers, hot sex scenes.

the girls are naughty and very open minded in relationship, for harem they are perfect
I expect very hot scenes in the future

I just want to contribute to the average rating of this game, which truly deserves it.

Without delving into a long review, as much has already been said in the numerous reviews where this one will soon get lost

The major strengths in my opinion are the very original characters, both in their appearance and personality, as well as the various connections that can exist between them.

As a French speaker, I also greatly appreciate being able to follow a visual novel of this quality in my native language, which is exceedingly rare and worth highlighting

The downside: my own impatience to see even more, with the hope that all possible connections will eventually come to fruition

And just to participate a bit in the debate of June 2024: for now, I have complete trust in the creator's choices for quality updates. Even if sometimes we go back a bit to return to a branching point that didn’t exist before and thus discover new characters and connections, if it enriches the game, I’m all for it. I'm not eager for the game to end; I'm just eager to always have more content within this universe

Those who are lowering the average rating of this game with improbable scores of 1 or 2 stars are clearly in bad faith ;-)
