VN - Ren'Py - Projekt: Passion [S3 v0.15] [Classy Lemon]

Review of version 0.5.

I was excited to discover this new entry into the niche of spaceship harems, and played through the current content in one sitting. I was left with somewhat mixed feelings at the end.

The pros: very nice graphics and animations. Some of the models were excellent, and the characters were well-fleshed out.

The cons:
1. Distracting gimmicks. The game makes extensive use of screen panning. The first time I saw the image slowly moving I spent several seconds admiring the effect before deciding to get on with the story: then I discovered how annoying it is to have the background moving behind the text you are trying to read. Another gimmick employed here is having some of the characters deliver a line audibly every once in a while. I found the voices clashed with my expectations of what the characters would sound like. It felt as out of place as having the cast of an action movie suddenly break into a dance routine (I’m not a fan of Indian movies, obviously).

2. The game doesn’t take itself remotely seriously. Think Spaceballs, as opposed to Star Wars. It is quite amusing at times, but doesn’t aspire beyond that.

3. There is no real story that I could detect. There is a MacGuffin in the form of a missing amulet that everyone is supposedly chasing, but the story looks like it is going to settle into a routine of: a. travel to new planet, b. find excuse for another sex scene. c. Repeat.

4. Some of potential sex-interests are quite hideous. One of them looks like she had her skin flayed off. And the sex-bot might be an updated version of Honda’s Asimo; which is not what I would expect a futuristic sex doll to look like. Still, there are three human-looking girls, so the MC can have a small harem even if he doesn’t want to stick his dick in a toaster or something more disgusting.

If I were to judge this by looks alone I might rate it five stars, but that wouldn’t be fair to other games that deliver more than just a good-looking product.

Recommended for those who want nothing more than a laugh and a wank.

Very great game, nice humor and girls, ambience and immersion! Interesting story, space thematic which I enjoy a lot. Different races, different type of girls and their characters, kinks. verything about this game is amazing, wish all the best to author and hope it continues for a very very long time!

P.S. Ashe is bae <3

Everything about this game is great.

First, the graphics and UI are done really well. The developers use of transitions in scenes is top notch, I don't think there's a static scene in the entire game.

The choices in the game are really well done, often to great comedic effect. Same with the story and dialog, everything is very well written, and clearly thought out.

I really can't wait to play more of this game, keep up the great work!

The renders are awesome.
The sex is sexy.
The story is interesting.

So, what's new?
Well, the humor is brilliant! You know you could see it coming, and yet you didn't. Because they're perfectly timed interludes within a story that does have its serious moments as well. So just when you forgot and got all serious, it will lighten you up. Literally, there's burnmarks on my office chair because I have to dodge the lazerbeams coming out of the screen all the time!

Wish I could give this game 6-stars.

It's very well written, entertaining, and has impressively good voice-acting and renders. The sex scenes are super hot, the one with Sandra has to be my favorite by far. Never been into robots but damn if Lemon doesn't make them good. Let's also not forget how damn funny the game is without trying too hard or being cheesy.

Good job dev.

Projekt: Passion is one of my all-time favourite AVNs. I've thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

The game has such a high production value. This includes the user interface, the music, the render quality and fully voice-acted cutscenes. The animations are incredible. Creating animations in DAZ is not the most user-friendly process, but ClassyLemon knocks it out of the park and makes it look easy (both in the cutscene animations and the lewd ones). The art style is unique, and I think it really stands out well from other games.

Aside from where this game exceeds technically, the characters and story are a lot of fun. The plot is engaging and never feels like a drag. The characters are funny and enjoyable to be around. SAndrA is my fav, with Ashe as a close second - (Honourable mention to Steve the Electrician ).

Do yourself a favour and give this game a go, you won't regret it!

After the inferno was a good game, it got me into the AVN genre as a steam player cuz it was f2p.

But this production seems as a straight upgrade.

Animation quality is top notch, as non-intercourse animations(cutscenes) are plenty and they are voiced. Soundtrack is cool. Classic sci-fi spaceship harem setting doesn't bore me like other space games for some reason. There are plenty of game over choices which are gory and comical. All girls are kinda different in personality. (also aliens and androids in the ship duh). From what I've seen so far. The production quality is close to AA, the game looks polished in v0.5.

The only downside I'm seeing is: plot changed rather abruptly. MC was a blade for hire, freelancer kinda guy. Then decided to become a hero and involve in a fight against a megacorp to chase after some chick which he knew for a week, who betrayed him for an artifact of unknown value. This is not so offputting as the story flows but I saw it as a logical error in writing and got me thinking "hmm, alright".

Great game, hope it gets better and better.

Everything about this game is amazing. Naughty bits are very well animated and the situations are spicy. Characters are great. But the crown jewel goes to the writing. The story is well above what is average in this site. And it is possibly the only game that made me laugh out loud multiple times, and make me feel legitimate feelings in the next scene. Wishlisted on steam, buying on arrival!

Review for 0.5 (though I started playing from 0.3 and the review applies to both)

One of the most polished vn's I've seen on the site, very good renders and characters, and the environment and lighting is top notch too. Having done some work rendering myself, I am amazed both at the quality, and the quantity of renders. This alone would give the game a 5 stars for me.

Seriously though, top notch animations and voice acting too? The game is a complete product to me, from a production standpoint. Very fast development cycles too, which is just a rarity.

For the story, the game effectively tells you the vibe it is going for very early on, and it stays consistent thoughout. It seems like a basic thing, but it's crucial, and quite difficult. Humor too, is something that can be hard to pull off, and it does well. The game has no real flaws to speak of. It has a clear vision in mind, and accomplishes exactly that, with a level of polish, consistency, and speed that is rare. In my mind that's a recipe for success.

I just need more Ashe. That's all. Please dev.

The game is awesome, honestly there are not that many choices, and the great majority of them lead to hilarious game overs. Still, This game, and "After the inferno" that is the last game released by the author, are really great, awesome animations, gorgeous renders and some good comedy. I would recimend it to play both of them

Damn, I really like the story so far. It has great characters, so I am going to play it till the end. The character designs are appealing to me. I like the scenes so far. It's great that all of the characters have different emotions. Every character has a unique story to tell. Humor is very good in it.

Awesome game! I think itnis better than After Inferno. I'm enjoying this one a lot more! Great job , dev! You're doing an excellent job! Keep going, my friend! Can't wait to see what are your plans for the ending. Thank you!

Well excellent game with cool renders and I'm amazed with animations plus voices in animation story is good and funny too hope you make amazing avns in future with cool animation.(fav girls are ashe,emily and SaNdra)

My only negative about this story is that I got to a point and realized I was going to have to stop. My wife is definitely going to enjoy this one as well. So we'll be reading it together.

It has everything you would want in a story so far. Action, adventure, romance, sex, humor. Its been a real pleasure to read.

Amazing space sci-fi game.

Great combination of story with lots of universe bulding lore and character development with quite a few nicely done comedy relief moments.

The renders and animations are really good. From the ships to the characters and passing through the different alien worlds.

And as a porn game i need to mention that all the above applies to the sex scenes and plus some of them have voice acting (same for some of the non sexual animations).

One of the best games here I played so far. Great renders and animations, a variety of well-developed characters, a fascinating plot, and good humor - I laughed loud several times. Reminds me of the games of Caribdis, which I love also. I wish dev all the best

Written as of v. 0.5

I've never written any review here till now. It means that the game is good enough for me to choose for first review. No need to read further, you can play it.

From all the avns I played so far, it’s the funniest avn in S tier.

It has quite a lot of good quality comedy content. I’ve never laughed so much during avn. Ofc to see all funny content players need to check all choices. Going only with stupid/funny choices and allow seeing game over screens is not all .

Good comedy content is what makes this game different from other S tier avns. However, the game also has what usually S tier have. Be it an interesting story and created world, unique/beautiful characters, good animations, some drama content etc. The amount of drama content is not big, so it's not in the way of enjoyment of comedy content. It can serve as a calming down factor to regain the ability to laugh later.

For these reasons it’s worth playing and the game deserves more attention.

Imo keeping drama content at a low level may be the hardest task for the Dev, if he continues to aim at comedy.

On the other hand, if he switches the path to the common road of S tier, the drama content is too low and too light. Lots of good avns have excellent, interesting, emotional, engaging, heavy drama content, so the competition is very high on that path.

However, whatever path he’ll choose (comedy, comedy drama, something else), I find it quite likely that the game will be at least good.

The game is excellent. The girls are cute, and the development of the characters is great. The pacing is solid, and story engaging. Mixed in with all of it is some entertaining dialogue and funny scenes. I have to say, I didn't know anything about this title but I am very glad I discovered it. It could very well become one of my favorites and I've played well over 100 different VN's. I'd highly recommend it if you want something easy to get into, doesn't take itself too seriously, yet still does a great job of storytelling and bringing you the MC closer to some cute yet different girls.

I don't skip any dialogues... I alway skip the dialogues! That guy is a fucking genius! A lot of hard work went in this project. The story is intriguing and really funny. The renders are good and the animations are epic. Also the cutscenes are with sound. What does anyone want more...

A fairly good game already with some promise.

The setting and story have potential to spawn interesting stories and scenarios, and the writing so far is quite good overall. Leans towards the comedic end of the spectrum but also has a few more serious moments. I think some of the character development is lacking a little, but that depends on what you're interested in. What is there already is pretty good, with differences in style for each character that make them distinctive.

The character models and animations are well done. There are some cutscenes with dialogue which show additional effort, and the animations in those are also very good.

There is background music and some sounds which set it apart from other games.
