VN - Ren'Py - Jessica's Choices - Origins [Ep.5] [DoAdventures]

This one is not a good game. The first and main reason is the fact that the story is pretty bad. Writing is decent though, but roughly the story until now (episode 5) is basically she going from one abusive scene to the next. One would wonder how she managed to live in this city until this day without this happening to her before. In any case, it doesn't make any sense. Characters are plain and boring, two-dimensional abussive ones on most cases. There are plenty of choices in this, which is great, and the presence of an in-game walthrough is a welcome addition since choices often don't have clear outcomes so you can't really make a choice by yourself.

Render quality is mediocre, the main character is nice but poses and facial expressions are often terrible. There are no animations even though there are several sex scenes, which is a loss. Music is present, can't talk about it since I always turn it off, but there are no other sounds besides that. At least it doesn't have any bug, or at least I found none.

So, all in all, not worth it.

I'm kind of surprised this isn't blowing up. The characters and story are well executed with good pacing and semi-regular updates. If you like corruption and darker themes you'll like this. Looking forward to where this will go in the future!

A truly underrated title that deserves a lot more attention.

Story
The story and writing of this title are top notch, the authors know how to delve deep into each character. Most characters of any consequence are fleshed out and their motivations are easily understood.

The scene are well written and allowed time to breath so you can feel the depths of each situation the MC finds herself involved in.

Multiple paths are well written and your choices do matter. You MUST follow the walkthrough and/or try multiple paths to really experience this VN.

Graphics
The Graphic quality is excellent with a very good looking protagonist and supporting cast.

Overall this is an extremely well written, and well directed VN, if you are on the fence this is 100% a title you should try out an experience.

Damn, That Escalated Quickly!

The game immediately starts off not holding back any punches, and I think I might've gotten Jessica pregnant within the first 20 minutes.

One of the standout features for me is the extensive branching paths offering a level of control that’s rare in adult visual novels.
Jessica got railed at every single opportunity I had in my first playthrough hehe.
The freedom to shape the story through choices is incredibly engaging and adds significant replay value.

The game is beautifully rendered with plenty of spicy scenes and hot girls.
The narrations are very well-written and I'm very excited to see how my path develops in the future.
There's something in here for everyone and I highly recommend it!

If you're on the hunt for an adult visual novel that truly stands out, look no further than Jessica's Choices - Origins.

This game is a gem, blending an incredible narrative with super engaging gameplay that really elevates the h-scenes to a whole new level. The storytelling is sharp, keeping you invested in Jessica's journey as much as the steaminess that follows.

Speaking of steaminess, can we talk about the designs of the female characters? Total eye candy! The h-scenes are crafted with impressive scripting and context that add layers of eroticism, making each encounter not just hot but impactful. What sets this game apart, though, is the unparalleled freedom it offers players in shaping Jessica's fate, it’s a rare find that gives you such control, and you can feel the meticulous work behind it.

Overall, Jessica's Choices - Origins is a masterpiece packed with thoughtful details that come together to create an extraordinary gaming experience. The narration in the h-scenes is undeniably among the best I’ve seen in ages, and trust me, this game deserves more love than it's getting. I can't recommend it enough—100% must-try!

Jessica's Choices: Origins is part one of the four series (which are yet to be released) that follows the life of Jessica and all the events that entail.

Compared to Series of Events, which is a standalone spin-off, Origins features much better renders, and the developer, DoAdventures, has become quite skilled in DAZ to produce some amazing, high-quality shots compared to the previous game.

Origins is not your vanilla female MC game. The game offers quite a variety of choices at every turn, and depending on your choices, the story can get quite dark and grim, which is a rare occurrence these days. Politically correct developers and Patreon-law abiding games have watered down any chances for real adult and mature games, and Origins is a breath of fresh air in those regards—a game that isn't afraid to show us some diabolical NSFW scenes.

The dev isn't afraid to showcase mature themes like non-con, blackmail, rape, BDSM, and molestation that are very much lacking in most games these days. The bus harassment scene in Ep. 1 is singlehandedly the best I've seen in the Chikan genre.

The main attraction for me is the branching story lines. If done excessively, they can create a shallowness of content and, if done too little, can defeat the purpose of a novel and make it into a KVN. So far, the game manages a good balance between choices and consequences, and you do really feel the change in outcomes.

Some Pros and Cons:

+Healthy number of choices.

+Does not shy away from displaying really dark themes.

+The story is full of twists and turns and does not follow a pattern.

+Intricate renders

-Things move too fast. It does not allow the player to immerse himself in the world much... Perhaps it is intentional to create an atmosphere of intrigue and mystery.

-Jessica is not a virgin, despite Origins marking the beginning of this story. Her deflowering will be a flashback in a future game, which was personally disappointing to hear.

-Lack of some basic vanilla aspects like groping, fondling breasts, fingering, kissing, etc. are desperately needed. Renders going straight from cloth to nude should be avoided.

Lastly, choices that keep sprawling or branching out too often in a single parent branch should be avoided. It does not allow the story to progress, and too much effort can be wasted behind a single choice while others are neglected. Example: A-A-A-B could receive more attention than A-B-A-A, which means players that did not pick these would not see a lot of "new" content and would be left disappointed.

The game is very good and every choice matter and will make a difference in the story. This is the first game I see that does that, it's a lot of work for the dev, but the game is very good. I just wish we get more frequent updates.

Ep5

Pros:
As the first official game in the Jessica’s Choices mini-series, DoAdventures introduces the players to a world where decisions matter and consequences ripple across the subsequent titles. (I can't wait to have RED in my possession again)

Jessica is HOT! Easily one of the hottest MC's on the site.

In game stats that reflect your choices

Did I mention that Jessica is hot! Really good use of the model.

Cons:
Lack of sound and animation (I hope animation will be added soon)
I love being able to choose my own music and have seen some of the animation stuff the Dev is going to put into the game which looks brilliant.

Not a lot of content yet

Jessica’s Choices - Origins lays a solid foundation, leaving me eager for more and looking forward to the scenes I have happily jerked off to many times in the reading format. I would recommend anyone to have a shot of this VN, and game that isn't afraid to put all the fetishes up front and centre.
