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

• #10,491

Just finished the current build. Why have I not heard more about this game? Had to dig into one of the recommendation threads to find one poster suggesting this for a female protag corruption game. This is one of the best VN I have played to date, The story, the characters, the attention to detail are all great with some very light humor thrown in the mix. I love playing a female protag with agency, instead of being forced to commit sexual acts or being forced literally. There are far too few like this.

May update later but for now it gets one of my rare 5/5 stars.

I immediately apologize to the fans of this game.
But these are my personal thoughts

What I liked:

- great renders
- chemistry between Jessica and Heather. The relationship between them is perfectly spelled out. Great Lesbian scenes.
- finally, in this type of story, the husband of the protagonist is not a stereotypical cuck / fat / ugly / stupid slacker whom you cheat without a twinge of conscience.
In my opinion, a well-written character.

Unfortunately, this is where all the good things end.

- incomprehensible development of the main character.
Just now, she was a faithful wife, and right there she can masturbate to some stranger, etc.
- stereotypical minor characters. In this type of story, most of the men who try to sleep with the protagonist are old, fat, ugly, or teenage virgins.
- if I'm not mistaken, the game is already about 3 years old. During this time, I do not see any step forward in terms of the plot.
With such a pace, the completion of the story can be expected in 10 years.
- teasing, a lot of teasing.

Once again, I apologize to the fans and subscribers of this game.

In my understanding, the hallmarks of a milking game are slow updates, little content, and endless teasing.

Unfortunately, this game fits all of these parameters.

Do I advise you to play it? Yes of course.
Do you need to support this?
Everyone decides for himself, but as for me, waiting 4-5 months for 100 renders is a waste of money.

one of the best game with female protagonist. The story is an ''okay'' for me, and I can tell that there aren't a lot of contents right now (mostly teasing). But the strongest part of this game is its renders which are my top 5 in this site.

Awesome game. So many of these type of games have shitty writing but this one is superb.

10/10 Writing/story line

9/10 Renders

8/10 Sound effects

The only thing i wish is that we'd have had some full cheating scenes other than the teasing that has been going on for anyone doing the NTR route. By now the desire to see Jessica getting fucked and sucking dick is annoyingly frustrating.

Still, and excellent game and I eagerly await further updates.

Just played this game a few days ago, and easily became one of the best VN I have played.
* Top quality renders and animations
* Good story line
* Great characters specially Jessica and Heather
* Super hot lewd scenes
* Very detailed of Jessica's dresses, shoes, jewels, etc.
This is the first female protagonist game I have played, maybe not for everyone, but surely they will miss a lot, if that the case for not playing this. Amazing game!

one of the best game I see!!!
great render and a good story!
hope continue as it is.
Jessica is very sexy and I like very much the possibility to choose if she is more dominant or submissive in some situation.
Good work and thank you!!

Nice universe, I like the fact of playing a journalist, the different scriptwriting paths well brought, well all its.
Games have a lot of potential, the renderings are top, lack of life in the expressions but it is not so serious. The story and the characters are pretty interesting overall. Keep up the good work ^^

Some of the best art and scenes in the genre, featuring detailed and unique renders, and characters who frequently change outfits and style.

The player has a good amount of control about the female protagonist's encounters, including the degree to which she includes or excludes her boyfriend and other characters. These options reward experimentation with variations on scenes.

The cast of characters is a bit large, which means not all characters get updates each time. Combined with the significant time to develop each update, this means players may not see their favorites for a while.

Still, this game has a good amount of content already and is an excellent game for players with an eye for detail.

Very good progression so far. Great MC, she is very polite and feminine. And she has great taste in fashion.Even if she wears something plain, it suits.
I usually play with male protagonist but this game has changed my perspective.

Extremely good looking renders!

The story seems intriguing , but walking on a line where you can easily be on either side, very shaky characterization of the female protagonist that offers the sensation that she wants something "more" , but cant describe well cuz of language barrier but i feel like we are given something in a rush with full brake.
The way she is ok with some stuff sometimes make no sense.
The writer seems to care a lot about her but he puts weird happenings in when he remembers this is an adult game and needs "action content", resulting in questionable moments of why is that happening when he was writing the story ok for her until the adult part.

This will be a really decent game when is done, but for now is not something you can really invest yourself mentally/emotionally as the updates are super slow you will be frustrated with something that u might not understand why the dev is doing that.

This is my perspective , you can create your own, So please do try when u want, on the site you can just download the game and try it yourself.

But, I dont recommand supporting the dev, the updates/content comes slow despite having special team/studio and there always is excuses that are "reasonable" so you cant really complain when they seems valid even tho promise is not met, feels like emotional manipulation because if you support and at some point want to drop it, u will feel bad.

Too many devs do something similar where they will always have a good excuse to appeal to the human/emotional part of people and drag stuff.
Sry, a bit vented with last part.

Anyway. 2/5 because it only holds up by renders.

I've never done a review before but being a long time member of this forum, playing hundreds of games here i finally found one thats worth my time with reviewing. If this explanation wasnt enough for you to start trying&playing the game im going into details. Im not gonna divide it to pros and cons you can decide it yourself, just my overall thoughts for game version v40.beta

-Really high quality art with dev putting extra work in small details.
-One of the best looking mcs on the site, tho this statement might not be objective
-Very slow story&corruption progression. Yes this is a pro because if we wanted a quick sex there are tons of porn sites out there.
-Realistic concept. It might not be a pro for many people which is understandable.
-Tons of paths to explore, there are situations where one decision can lead up to more than two scenes. Well this mostly happens at the late game as expected as like i said story progression is slow.
-Animations are perfect, altho they are very few.
-I dont know if this is considered spoiler but despite having NTR tag, game doesnt have any at least for now. Our character goes into sexual acts willingly.
-Amazing outfits that shows our amazing mc's body perfectly.
-Corruption takes time but is the more time it takes the more rewarding it gets

Thats all i guess. I wanted to say bad things about the game in order to stay objective but it was really hard for me, really enjoyed the whole game. Maybe having NTR tag with game not having any could be one but there are lots of haters out there too. In the end im sure dev will make it avoidable anyways.

great quality renders,enticing story, updates are VERY few and far between, pacing is way off (too much teasing,too fast whoring sometimes). Worth the play but not worth the pledge.Dev takes too long with the updates and does not respect his own launch dates. I have seen up to 7 months between updates, with half of that time being delays.

I'm following the game quite some time and really enjoy playing it.

I think this is probably the game with the best art available on here. Of course this is totaly subjective, but I really like the uniqueness and level of detail compared to other games.

This leads to a fact some people might put off and its something you should be clear about, the updates take some time. There will be several months between, but if you are patient you will be rewarded.

Do I wish for more and longer updates? Of course! But the dev has his/her speed and other obligations which need time. If this is the result I'm happy to wait.

If your are patient, enjoy awesome art, interessting characters and like a good story, which is sexy and lewd (depending on your choices!) I would recommend you checking it out.

One of the best VN out there for me!

Pros :

• The story is not too fast and not too slow, i enjoy the pace of the progression, the build up is there but it doesn't take that long to cross that bridge. A job well done on this part!
• The protagonist is one of the prettiest female i have ever seen on VN, the male characters are rather dull but i don't give a damn about them. Other than the MC, the other girls looks bomb as well.
• The rendering looks good, high quality and pleasing on the eyes.
• The scenes are animated and so smooth. There are already several of them available.
• Didn't find any bugs

I have been a fan of stoper since the release of Bella's First Sin, the dev keep giving and also keep delivering!

I don't find any single bad thing about this so far, keep it up!

DEFINITELY HAVE TO TRY THIS!

I like this VN, but it's a lot like several others that I've come across.
PROS
Renders are good
CONS
MC is timid
Story is so-so
Overall
Female MC, gets a new job, thrust into the sexually corruption game. Out of no where she just starts cheating on her BF. Not a whole lot of build up to it. I just wish you could go after some of the other ladies you encounter. Even though I gave this VN a 3 star rating, I do recommend it. I'm sure others will enjoy this one. I'm just waiting to actually make decisions in the VN that I don't feel like I'm being led into. Maybe the option to chase the office ladies would spice things up some. I'll see how the story progresses and possibly review this rating.

In my book this is one of the best Visual Novels I've ever read! StopperArt is simply the best when it comes to making a story you actualy want to read, and not just skip thu to the juicy parts. And speaking about the jucy parts - Wow! Jessica is so hot, and the situations she gets herself into are very erotic. Great NTR and Corruption - if you choose to go down that path. I'm signing up on Patreon for this one!

+ N ice lewd scenes and animations
+ I nteresting Plot
+ C hoices and different routes
+ E njoy

+ G orgeous renders with a lot of attention to detail
+ A dmirable sound effects
+ M arvellous lingerie
+ E xcellent characters

Solo tengo que decir que este es el mejor juego que he probado, ojala hubieran más personas trabajando en el, las animaciones que haces son increibles, las historias son perfectas (aunque no me gustan mucho las lesbianas xD) de todas formas, por favor sigue trabajando en este proyecto, lo haces genial.
Espero con ansias la próxima actualización... thanks Stoper ...

I just have to say that this is the best game I've tried, I wish there were more people working on it, the animations you do are incredible, the stories are perfect (although I don't like lesbians very much xD) anyway, please continue working on this project, you do great.
I look forward to the next update ... thanks Stoper ...

First I thought I should give a 4 star rating but I chose to go for 3 and here is why:

I would like to point out the good things first:

As we all know this game has undeniably the best renders in f95 the only one game that I find competitive to this game is AWAM but JOHN is definitely a little bit ahead of it.
That's it. No more comparing.
The developer's work is impeccable in rendering.
For a female MC game this game has models that are really great in appeal.
I think there is nothing more that I need to tell about the good things of this game because one sample image from this game is enough to know the beauty in this game

With that said I would like to point out the things that I loathe in this game.
Sexuality:
The only good thing in this game so far is lesbian scenes. Because being a straight I would like to see some action with males too.

MC's character:
Jessica's character is bit too much slutty for a female mc. That kinda kills the suspense for me.
If she wants any work to be done she either allows others to group her or jack someone off.
She even allows a complete stranger to wank infront of her and shows her pussy and the worst part is that stranger boy took some photos of Jessica without her consent.
So I feel like the character of Jessica is poorly built.

Characters thoughts:
If I could see more thoughts of Jessica may be I could feel more connected to her and the game, since it is the opposite here its something i would like to point out.

Environments:
Even though I like all the renders, I don't find myself immersed in the game's rich environment. May be this is just a personal thing. Because I honestly dont know if I could think of a solution for it.

Fetishes:
May be the developer likes young woman and old man fetish but it was introduced way too soon in this game. This kills the mood even before witnessing the good parts of the game.

Progress:
In game progress:
The in game progress is really fast but not in a good way. I feel like the progress that we see here in Jessica's sex life does not reflect the character of Jessica I thought she would be when I first played the game.
Dolores Umbridge once said "progress for the sake of progress should be discouraged" and I guess that's what Im trying to do here.

Next, progress in terms of release of updates:
I remember back then the updates were really slow but i guess for the last 2 or 3 updates the developer picked up his pace. But I think it would be better if the dev gives us updates more frequently and with more content too. Because the content wise the updates are not worth playing imo.

And finally, sorry if I bothered anyone by this review that was not my intention.

Good plot and amazing images and animations. I honestly never tried the game before because of the cliche title. So I thought this was just another go fuck everyone in town game but its not the story and dialogues are well written. One of my favorites now would definitely reccomend it.
