VN - Ren'Py - Jessica O'Neil's Hard News [v0.65 BETA] [stoperArt]

Really good game so far.

It has a nice balance between plot and naughty stuff. You aren't thrown right into the "action" and story develops with time (so you shouldn't expect a lot of NSFW things at this point in development of this game)
The visuals are very well done and it is really nice to look at them.

Overall, there is enough content to give it a try and see for yourself (and I am sure that you will like it)

Simply an excellent game


I'll try to focus 1 - On storytelling ---- and 2 - On art

1- The concept : It works, it is absolutely favorable to the characters, the story it wants to tell and also for the H scenes and tension. It just works.
))

The characters : They could be a little more developped, but you understand very quickly what they are all about, and what role they are going to play. They never act out of character either. Not a strong point of the game, but nothing bad to say either.

The dialogues : Completely fine, nothing bad to say either. Although the game could use a little bit more humor, to engage the player better. (There is some, though it can be hidden; the wallpaper paper screen of the french girl made me laugh)

The story : You follow a main investigation that you will have to choose "how much" you invest yourself in, and on the side you can flirt with other characters.
It just follows the basic rules of storytelling, which is actually a nice change for once
It is nice to follow, anyway. For now there is nothing truly interesting happening (too early stage for that), but I hope the author can actually get something nice out of this story.


2 - Rendering quality : Beautiful. Nothing is gonna catch your eye in a bad way, it just flows.

Staging : Good, you have many different POV's to work with, it's never too static.

Animations : pretty damn fine

Music : Ouch, it lacks. There is some, sometimes, and some sound effects, which is really nice.
But ambient music is important to set a mood, convey emotions and all of that, it shouldn't be passed over.



Overall, it's not really a game that is especially gonna stand out in way or an another. Conversely, it is strong in pretty much all areas. Absolutely worth the try and the wait for updates.

Excellend famale point of view adult game. The game has great graphics. Character developement is great and there is potential for many scenes taking advantage of the female protagonist to satisfy fetishes such as NTR, DP, Gangbang and Girl on Girl. The updates are mostly regular and on time (with the exception of the last one).

Nothing contents in this game
Renders good but story really not much contents,
Not worthy to enjoyfull game..
Animation nice, dialogues more to readings but interesting to play..
Visual also beautiful and main char Jessica looks good but lil bit improve really like to..
Last one line:
Not worthy games Not worthy to enjoyfull.....

Let's quickly go through what all you should expect should you download it.

-Jessica is absolutely stunning.
-Beautiful art. Some animations are also there.
-Not a lot of sex if that's what you're after. It gives equal amount of importance to plot.
-Game goes nice and slow leading upto moments.
-Characters feel very real and the world seems lived in. Great work.
-7-8 ingame days of content.
-Good use of sound.
-Bonus scense from the female POV. Male POV to be added i believe

Why's it good? It's LIBERATING. You're in charge. You're not a fumbling girl who gets blackmailed/harassed just for the sake of the kink. You're a beautiful woman who knows she can persuade people with her body language all the while feeling the difficulty of getting taken seriously as a woman in the workplace. Relationships have weight. On one hand you want to use the power you hold over men. On the other you think about the consequences.

For the creators:
There are lots of characters with more being introduced. I don't mind characters being there for non sexual purposes but please don't stretch it over a large area. It will kill developments with the more prominent ones. Looking forward to eroding connor's insecurities. I'm sure more tags are coming in future updates. Great job.

Renders are great and animations very good too but...
the story progression is forced as shit.
Story shows no depth at the beginning of Jessica’s other relationships more than. "Oh he has a dick. i want to stick it in my butthole and everyone's too. Don't know why but suddenly i feel like sluttiest person ever" " She has tits, i've never been attracted to them but now i don't care at all".
Looks so rushed passing from the faithful wife to the depraved whore rol.

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.
