Well, overall I'd say this is a good well crafted RPGMaker game. I'll list a few things that stood out to me while playing as of version *0.10.4.
I like the story, I think it's very interesting and has a good pacing. The main character is very attractive and has a strong personality, although quite generic in these kind of games. The art is original and pretty to me, but I wish there were more scenes and less black screens with text.
The combat is interesting and quite simple, but it can be annoying in some situations. Due to the map being very cluttered, you'll often get stuck and get caught by the enemies during cooldowns and you'll either have to load a previous save, or deal with the infection level getting higher. I recommend everyone to save often during missions.
Major problem to me:
This game treats sex as a punishment to the MC; quite common trope in RPG games with female characters unfortunately. Every sex scene is either a gameover rape scene, or scenes where Juno is forced to do everything against her will. No, scratch that last part, she never does anything, she always stands there while being fucked or abused. She'll "enjoy" it after having no escape from it and that is a pathetic excuse for bad writing.
There are very few instances when we get the choice of doing something, but even then, those scenes scene still feel rapey, since you can clearly see how disgusted Juno is during them.
She never shows any sign of being sexually active, horny, or being interested in any other character. This game simply never rewards you and the MC with a satisfying sex scene. This is about doing missions and getting raped if you failed. Some scenes end the game, others simply raise your infection level. In other words, there's no reason to replay this game whatsoever.
I absolutely hate this about female main characters in most games. How difficult is it to make a strong female character, that allows you to choose her actions and/or personality? Apparently very difficult, because in most games, you either have a completely unrealistic prude female character that will get abused and raped by everyone and become a slut. Or you have a girl with strong personality that will deny everything and despise sex, but will also get abused and raped, becoming a slut.
Juno isn't even the latter as of yet by the way, because this game has very few sex scenes and none of them are satisfying. Some are definitely pretty to look at, but put them into context and they just turn you off. There are better games out there, lads, including the other game the same developer is making, which to me is much better. It's a shame though, because I much prefer this post-apocalyptic setting, MC and art style over Claire's Quest's.
