VN - Ren'Py - Jessica O'Neil's Hard News [v0.60] [stoperArt]

As of 0.15 I view this game as one of the best [VN]s on the site. The renders are beautiful; the characters are likeable and realistic; the story progression is fantastic and I find it engaging every step of the way. What really makes the game is the implementation of the sex scenes. They don't feel forced and too common to take away from the setting, but at the same time they aren't too spread out to the point you're forgetting you're playing an adult game.

A few spelling mistakes and the overall music/sound should be improved. Also, the relatively slow update cycle (2 months) can be a turn off for some people. Those problems are definitely not deal breakers for an otherwise great game. If you like quality corruption visual novels this is a title you should play.

The game look very good. Infact it was one of the main reasons why I wanted to play. The thing is I couldn't finish it because of the writing. Like every other game of it's type it's based on the same plot. The husband doesn't give me what I want so I'll whore around with everything that walks and talks. Why?

I never get this stupid excuse "sorry honney we can't have sex this morning because I'm running late" but then she sure has time to stop on her way to work for a quicky with some randome. It's the same old BS. Why not make her have great sex with her husband too so you can play her story as a good girl too and also have some satisfaction about your options not just frustration.

Also like any other game of its type the girls look awesome but when it somes to the guys 90% are old, ugly and fat bastards. Again why?

I gave it two stars for the graphics so to speak and zero for the rest.

EDIT 2022-11-16


pros:
excellent renders
jessica

cons:
story - after all teasing in the end it will be like all other female protag games, you become a hoe
more music or sound in game would make the game even better
development time is EXTREMELY long

had high expectatoins in 2019 and has fallen short, could be like a our red string but became a milk game like awam

Great story, top notch renders with extreme details, great animations, fantastic writing (especially during sex scenes) and good sounds during sex scenes! Basically can't see any negative points in this game. The best porn game I've ever played!

Jessica O'Neil's Hard News [v0.15]

You´re playing as the female Character Jess and dive into a world of rather getting your Journalism Career further ahead (by doing some naughty acts) or being filthy with your Partner and eventually other couples.

The Renders are really good and there are animated Scenes.
Your Actions can trigger some NTR content but you can avoid that.
All in all its a great start for a great game in the Adult section.

there is a lot of text inbetween the naughty Scenes, but these Texts are quite essential to the Story and differ from your choices.

So all in all a great start for an Adult game.

Very good games!

A sexual game, which offers realistically rendered scenes including some animated. For once with a woman as the main character and you can choose stories that are exciting and varied and we must not wait for 2 years of development and stories to sleep like WIFE and MOTHER!

I recommend it and I think it deserves support too!

This game is well written, with an engaging story that serves as the background for the MC's discoveries and exploration of her sexuality.
Imaging is superb, with attention to detail when it comes to environment, lighting and composition.
Character posing, rendering and animations (just a few so far) are excellent.
Can't wait for the next update! I do definitely recommend this game.

I love this game. Excellent character models, great animatons, nice story and dirty ntr <3 Not much sounds inside but it's okay, not a problem imo. This game so much potential. Can't wait to see more content.

Simple, sexy, kinky. Hope she has sex with Mr. Parker in the next update, or at least suck him dry. And more moments where she must use "her assets" to get informations for her articles. Not make her a compleet slut, but close enough . And yeah, by now I can truely say that "A wife and mother" is boring af compared to this. Anywho, great game. Keep up the great work.

Great game. What stands out, without a doubt, is its image quality and its plot. Its female protagonist is a real cannon. I have no doubt that we are facing one of the best games of its kind. Great game,
I recommend it.

Outstanding game with interesting choices and focused game play. The porn aspects are also on point with believable dialogs. Very good renders, engaging characters and story.

I'm looking forward to the next version.

This game is very good, very real, the plot is reasonable, and the game is easy to play.

Disadvantage: Update speed is a little slow.

Suggestion: If the developer can control the speed of the heroine's corruption. It will be a great game.

The game has an intriguing plot of investigation. An actual, bona fide plot, weaved through all the erotic encounters with seemingly natural ease.
The detailed structure of the walkthrough shows there's a lot of thought behind the plot, which is admirable. The sheer amount of content in terms of renders and written words makes this 0.2 release feel huge, much larger than some 1.0s I've seen. The use of English language is completely natural.
The quality of renders is stunning: lighting, poses, assets, all top notch.
I have not encountered any bugs and have been completely absorbed by the story. Objectively I can't find fault with this game, and if it ticks your favorite theme boxes it's is nothing short of fantastic! I really look forward to seeing more

WOW! I love the game so far.
Overview:
The game about a 25 years old woman, Jessica O’Neil, trying to make a career as an investigative journalist at a newspaper. After working for a local TV channel for a couple of years, she wants to dive into the deep waters and make an impact with her work. How far is she willing to go and what methods is she going to use is up to you, the player.

I realy like this game. A good Story, with nice graphics and a good looking female MC. And I like ist, that you can choose, if you are making her her a slut or not. And I like it, that she will not be corrupted or blackmailed. I guess she is a little nymphomanic. And that is what makes this game interessting.

Best graphics quality I have ever seen so far in VN games also a unique story and very entertaining game play and no grinding.... Im sold! Keep up the good work!

The protagonist is hot the background renders are awesome just amazing overall work.

this game stands out for it's brilliant graphics. often i stop to check the details in the scenery. they are all realistic and lively, like straight from an AAA game. the story is nice and engaging. the dev seems to know his way around journalism, politics, bureaucracy etc, so it doesn't feel artificial or forced. the writing is decent. not many grammar or spelling mistakes i have come across. the sounds during sex scenes is fairly well done. what bugs me about this game and why i don't rate it higher is jessica herself. she sure is pretty, top model material, but not at all sexy or cute (whereas rosa is very sexy and the barista girl, blake very cute). she has an empty look in her eyes and she doesn't appear to have a clear-cut, relatable character. as such she didn't appeal to me and i can't find her attractive. too bad, considering the production value in this game, which is very high for it's genre. oh, and there's zero humor in the game.

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."

I really enjoyed the overarching plot and twists in this game, as it encompasses all the classic elements of a good story. Although the standalone routes weren’t by any means remarkable, they were great at building suspense and a sense of urgency to figure out the pieces of the puzzle in order to solve the mystery. The universe of this games grows increasingly more complex and interesting the further you delve into the storyline. This demonstrates solid world-building and good storyline pacing by the writers.

I am a person who doesn't understand English, but I still have a good time playing this game. I can even guess what story it is telling. Isn't this amazing? It also shows that the logic of this game is very simple and it is easy to attract new players.

Shockingly good. The attention to detail on the renders is just exquisite. The street scenes just fell alive rather than barren and empty like a lot of games. It was refreshing to have a female protagonist and the story has some legs. I am looking forward to next update!
