Came into this thread a few times and saw people praising it, which doesn't happen often on these forums, so I decided to try it.
The story is somewhat interesting. It's not gripping or exciting, but it's mostly well-written. Some parts go on for a bit too long without providing anything of substance, but there aren't too many of those.
The girls are mostly interesting. I'm not really engaged too much in any of them, but Elysra is starting to catch my attention. My worst problem is that Hanna, Allison, Syliah, and Keri to an extent, are far more attractive looking than any of the main cast. This ties into my criticism: a classic case of too many characters which will lead to low amounts of content for each of them and/or many being ignored completely. I won't make predictions, but I have never seen a game with more than 6 - 7 characters manage to produce enough QUALITY content for each of them. It always devolves into either pure vanilla fuckfest with the story going out the window, or characters becoming specialized for certain kinks so you just pick one and ignore the rest or the updates start being single-character focused.
Animations are okay, but very short. And tons of them are wasted on imo useless crap. Like the ninja fight, or the plethora of "thumbs up" moments. I didn't find any of them interesting or humorous.
As for the humor, this is the aspect I am enjoying the most. It feels like it's going in the right direction, sometimes hits very well, but I have a feeling it needs just a little more refinement. Like, start utilizing the rule of three, or refine the "who's on second" just a little more. I actually laughed out loud at one point, which is more emotions than I get in 90% of life in general.
Some scenes do not follow the decisions you made at all. For example when Ashe hugs you and starts going on about how you holding her helped her so she is doing the same, and I'm here sitting like: "Bitch, I literally pointedly ignored you every time, the fuck is this about?"
One thing I would ask for are subtitles in all the cutscenes. I believe most of them have them, but I noticed in the last one some mouth movements, but no subtitles. Perhaps there was no dialogue, or that one was just an error. Perhaps this one is already implemented and I just misread the cutscene.
All that being said I'm keeping this one on the watchlist.

Thanks for notifying me of this bug, with 8000 lines of code there are bound to be one or two of them.

ninja fight is the second best animation in the entire game, right after the final one. but maybe it's just me, I'll never say no to more sword fights, gun fights and explosions
So, a while ago our dear dev Classy Lemon asked about how to go about promoting his game and I said this...
I'm taking full credit for this!
Lo and behold, we got this...Cross-promotions seems to be a popular way to do it.
Do more cross-promo on Patreon. I literally rolled through your entire Patreon feed and there has only been one, and it's fairly recent, with a dev that has roughly only the same level of support as you. Try to do more with more popular devs.
Do more cross-cameos in game. I know it's harder for a cameo to make sense for a game set in an undetermined future timeline, but there are no rules that says the cameos have to be related to the original game's story. Get creative. Maybe the cameo can appear as your characters watching some kind of entertainment or documentary from the distant past? Or them playing some kind of video games? You've got a character jealously guarding what's on her laptop screen already, hint hint.
I'm taking full credit for this!

I found this fake choice in the latest chapter unusually aggravating, more so than any of the previous ones.
I think it might be that this one actually messes with the MC's motivations and personality, instead of just being an option to kill him off for a quick gag. Suddenly I'm forced to play the MC as wholeheartedly committed to some ideological crusade (as witnessed in the later conversation with Kaylee), in spite of any choices I may have made on his behalf previously.
It would be one thing if the MC was just written that way, but having it be a "choice" only serves to highlight that I do not get a choice in this matter. It's not just railroading, it's a big neon sign screaming RAILROAD HERE.

Yeah, it's a matter of personal taste so probably not worth arguing over. To me, every time I have to sit through an animated vignette tests my patience and kicks me immediately out of any immersion in the story, but obviously plenty of people feel different and it's clearly just part of the way the dev does things.

Just ok really? I find Projekt Passion to have one of the better animations among VNs here. More fluid than some of the biggest games here like BaDIK, AWAM, Eternum etc. I guess its all personal preference but from my experience playing other games, Projekt has them beat. Especially the newest Asha animations that are legit top tier.
Considering that Classy Lemon delivers pretty big updates in reasonable time frames we cant really say that those filler animations are affecting the updating process, while giving much more life to the gameplay. They are not meant to be super interesting, more so just to highlight a cutscene or a cool moment. Kira (the chick from the native tribe, not sure if that's her name) defeating soldiers in the latest episode was especially cool.
Oh yeah how terrible, the main character goes through with the main story. Just like literally every game with a story in existence (don't quote me on that), only difference is that the dev made a gag of it.
Calm down, it's an innocent joke that has no impact on the story whatsoever. If that infuriates you I'm surprised you enjoy any game whatsoever

Ahhh!!! What will it happen now?
You gotta give it that it knows how to engage you and drag you into the drama/action, even if the update ending makes you worry, damn why did they had to do Asha like that, hope she recovers, so good that things had just been getting.
Humor as always top tier just as secondary characters, they rule.
the ending just got me down for some silly reason but looking forward for the follow up, as always a warm, funny and amazing read

He is so gonna die. Btw, I can see Glitch and Mei joins the squad but not sure about Nezun? Also most likely Glitch is sister of Ashe, I can see the resemblance.

Well it's a scifi game, aliens are wanted and expected, also half of the main LI's are human, so you really have a good amount of choices here.
Same for fantasy games, if i play one i expect LI's of other races. I find it anoying that the MC is most of the time human and not of some fantasy race, can make a more interesting story imo.
Not sure what games you play normally that you barely can avoid non human LI's, it's not a problem i had so far.

Understandable. I'm an old Trekkie, I prefer conflicts to be solved through diplomacy, not aggression. Actually, this is one of the things I liked in the last chapter: the ability to not kill some of the characters.
Since the new Treks introduced space ninjas I think I developed some kind of PTSD for them in particular and now they just trigger me to a point where I literally cringe when they are presented. I guess they remind me of how Kurtzman fucked up everything I loved for over 30 years, so it is mostly a me problem.
But I digress. Your comment made me think of an interesting observation.
If the best animations in a porn game are non porn parts does that mean more quality should be focused on the porn parts?
To me adult game and porn game is not the same.
Projekt Passion has a story that is not merely a vehicle to deliver sex scenes.
Projekt Passion is a really funny game even if all the sex scenes are taken out.
So I'm completely okay with story animations.

First of I suppose I need to clarify what ok means, for me that is a 5 - 7/10. I would probably go with 6. They are fluid, and perhaps they are fantastic with the sound on, but I don't use that so can't comment on that part. I just look at the visuals, and those are nothing impressive to me. I would agree with you that this is better than AWAM and on par with Eternum, but I don't consider those to be top-of-the-line either. Eternum sits on a 6 - 7 animation quality for me, even though it is one of my fav games on here. Not sure which I would put near the top end, but AceX studios games, BADIK, TFMG, Love Season would probably fall in the 7 - 10 category for me. Tbh my scale puts one game on 10 then compares everything to that. I also compare them to other non game animations from GB, EXGA etc, so most games will never get to a 7 or more for me.
As for the dev process, I have no idea. This was my first time trying the game so I don't know how long the process lasts, but I do know about opportunity costs. Every second spent on doing one thing is a second spent not doing something else. It's cool that it brings something of value to you, but for me, it just devalues the rest. Those animations have to take hours of work, and I'd rather have one more hour of written dialogue than a 5 second animation of a thumbs up and someone smacking someone else with a stick. But then again I do not value non emotional and non sexual animations whatsoever, so all of this is not a complaint, just my personal viewpoint.
When I complain about something I REALLY complain about something!
