VN - Ren'Py - Jessica's Choices - Series of Events [Jessica Vs v1.0] [Doadventures]

version jessica choices 0.10 / VS 1.0

hm there are a lot of positives but a lot of negatives as well about this game.

negatives:

-despite lots of route branches, most branches feel very shallow, boring.

-most of the route branches are extremely short, like they literally stop in the middle of action after a couple of scenes. some branches can probably never even go forward ever because the creator probably wrote himself into a corner.


-lots of branches and routes, nearly no meaningful choices. there are only 1-2 routes which are kinda fleshed out and the action doesn't stop abruptly, but there are so many planned routes, that imo it's impossible to ever create. unless you are Mass Effect with 100+developers, you will not succeed in finishing those branches off. so the dev bit more than he could chew, it will never be finished, so you might as well treat this game as an unfinished abandoned product because sooner or later this will be the result. if not i will change my vote to 5/5.

positives:

+some scenes are pretty hot, mostly non-con or dubious con. like she is a bit too shocked to say no and things like that, imo it's done well... sometimes... but not always... like the cafe job or defense attorney routes are complete garbage imo.

but for example the amateur porn route is very nice imo. done well. so is the gym or debt is done relatively ok. but even the "debt" main route is a bit dumb but it's acceptable.

+there are no animations.... but imo poses and art is hot. i really like VS, there is some hot action even if it's a very unfinished product, it was leaked so it cannot be helped, if it was not leaked i would have deducted points from rating, but as a leaked product it's acceptable. lots of conversation missing and some WIP text is there but action seems nice. i wish it focused more on sex scenes but it's ok.


but altogether with VS in picture, plus the "origins" version in picture, there is literally 0% chance that the "Series of Events" branches ever gonna get finished despite all their abrupt endings. not 0,001%, but literally 0% chance.

anyway it's decent game, there are fappable scenarios/scenes.

As a long-time follower of DoAdventures, from CHYOA and even Foundry - where I first read some of your work, I have followed Jessica's journey, and now into an AVN, it just breathes new life into the familiar narrative, letting me play it all over again with fresh eyes and different interactivity.

The Series of Events multiple choice format is brilliant, although I do wonder what it'll look like with some of the other branches (Which is why I'm guessing you didn't start with those?)

For those familiar with the original content, I genuinely find it exciting to see how the narrative has been adapted to this format. The detail in the backgrounds and the supporting characters and although knowing what comes next, it's really fun to see how you thought of it and how you are bringing Jessica's world in a way that was previously left to my sordid imagination.

I can't wait to read the unreleased content! Keep up the good work Dev

TLDR:
While it may take time to fully explore all the branching paths, the game honours the original content and expands upon it. The only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 star review, is the learning curve of navigating the multiple storylines and playing this differently to other AVN's on the site.

v0.7

You know those games that have too many paths, causing the development of each of them to be slow?
This is the epitome of that.

It's a few small stories that typically end up with the mc being raped or molested in different scenarios. They're short and often unfinished.

Personally I found everything to be too little. Only one path had a good chunk of action.

It's a very short renpy scene viewer with no animation.
I don't think it's worth the time personally but it isn't the worst I have seen.

tldr: very short multiple scenario noncon sex scenario viewer.

Pros :

A unique VN experience progressing through corruption of this beautiful female protagonist, this game offer multiple paths to explore with fascinating stories and captivating render. Prepare yourself to get immersed into DoAdventures world

I will soon try the 0.7 update but has of 0.6, based on your preferences and playstyle, there is about ~1/1.5 hour of gameplay if you read everything. I usually don't when I play VN normally but somehow he managed to captive my attention with his writing skills and a notable dedication to his project.
A pleasant sensation to follow along this journey.

He recently upgraded his hardware and the quality of his renders, even though I've enjoyed them since 0.1, are definitely now more refined and to a level to nowadays competitive standards.

10/10 steady workflow/ progression, the developer is talk-active to his community, open to suggestions and down to earth person.

Cons :

I don't have much to say tbh but my only recommendation would be that if the game eventually gets bigger and bigger, a more linear approach on some of the path could be more suitable for reaching out to a wider audience. It is decently easy to navigate the entire storyline already but not every fanbase enjoy their experiences in similar ways.

Nonetheless, I am amazed and pleased to contribute to this project.

Try it for yourself, it is worth your time

At the time of review (v0.6.1) there is about an hour or two of content in the game

I usually wait until later builds to review games but after seeing the negative ratings here I really just felt I had to review it

This is a Renpy for people who want the sex and fetishes to be the focus point. The game has a variety of fetishes from rape to corruption to vanilla style romance the latest build also now adds futa as something that will likely be coming in next versions (character is there and the start of a sex scene with them is there)

This Renpy is not for people who want a deep story, that is not to say there is no story here but basically the pathways you pick decides the short (as at current build) story you see but that is packed full of sex

A lot of the reviews mention that the models and renders aren't nice. I would actually say the models themselves and the poses of the models is a definite highlight of this game. The issue is instead that the dev either is still learning Daz3D or has a weak PC and thus cannot render at higher quality thus the renders are quite grainy and this gives the impression that the models are also not nice but overlooking the grainy appearance of the renders you can easily see that the models and poses are very hot. Especially love the model for Jessica and kudos to the dev for rendering cumshots and creampies. Too many artists overlook the lewdness of seeing cum leaking out of someone or emphasizing cum being shot inside someone

So yeah I really hope to see this game continued to be developed. Not everything needs to be the next Lord of the Rings quality writing in a Renpy. Some can just be nice lewd Renpy games where sex and quality animations (in terms of poses and models, not so much in resolution and sharpness!) is the focus

It is also refreshing to see a dev just outright embrace the fetishes they like rather than tease around them like some Renpy devs out there do

(played 0.5)
Flawed but has potential. The story seems to branch too much which is already a bit of a bother and might be doubly so one the game gets long.

The renders and models aren't top-notch, but they're fine.

But the scnearios themselves are well done, without much beating around the bush or pretension.

just waiting for more contents and more paths... Very promising compilation of novels that may combined with each others to build an initiatic voyage. i hope to see more very soon.
Good work to Doadventures.

Not enough choices and it seems like the dev just wants to tell a story instead of letting us play a story through gameplay. Even for a porn game the situations are completely ridiculous. Like in the defense attorney storyline, the whole prison search scene was so fucking stupid. No fucking choices in how to respond and too many liberties taken to ensure that she is just made into a sex object. It's more fun if we choose it ourselves, and it's not like the players won't choose to let things happen to her but the option needs to be there to play it another way as well. Also, another dev trying to give the illusion of choice with occasional single choice options. I fucking hate single choice options. They're useless, only exist to give the illusion of choice, and are annoying. If you want the story to proceed a certain way just make a straight kinetic novel and stop lying and making it seem like you're putting out a game.

There's about two minutes of content, the images seem low-res and stretched in some instances, and nearly every text box has at least one typo or grammatical problem in it. I get that it's a work in progress, but this needs a lot more work and a lot more progress.

Loving the animation of Jessica as she is quite the girl. The dialogue is keeping me intrigued as to what happens next with this v0.. There are so many options in what direction you want to take Jessica it's starting to make me replay them over and over just to see if I like the choices I'm making.
For this being your first attempt at this I'm very keen to see where you can go with this and your imagination.
