VN - Ren'Py - Projekt: Passion [v0.11] [Classy Lemon]

Rarely does one play a game that feels like it was made by "one of us". A lot of titles sadly turn to fetish milking and plotless messes.

Happy to say that is not the case with this game. The game has decent plot progression, very likeable and unique cast. The humor lands most of the time.
And that for me is pretty important because I actually play these games for the humor and plot. I pretty much CTRL 99% of lewd scenes

I am still not up2date with the chapters, but it is clear to see that this game is made with love and care.
The dev is enjoying the ride, so are the people.

Looking forward to the rest.

Will give a detailed review once the game is complete(like I usually do).
It's just such a rare gem deserves support along the way.

P.S. The dev is a swell guy too. He treats people on F95 with the same amount of respect as on his own server. And he bas been a delight to cooperate with on some artworks along the way.

Amazing VN. Love the story and sense of humor throughout. There are also a variety of female LIs to choose from. I have enjoyed watching the arcs for the women evolve. The last update was very well done for Vesnia and Elrysa. Very touching and led into their scenes very well. Can't wait to see what CL does in the next update.

could not finish the game, was too boring

maze of choices, questions answers which dont seem to make sense without walkthrough

very generic scenes

girls ranging from android, to alien, to some d..mn devil spawn,

just boring

Story is great, characters are great, the balance of serious story beats and humor is on point. Animations? Great as well, if I had to complain about something is that I want more updates faster, but even that is not a real complaint as the update cycles are very good and always bring meaningful content.
This game deserves it's place in the first page on weighted ratings and in my opinion is one of the best games in the site.

An absolutely incredible experience.

This is the game that got me into AVNs, I found it on Steam but had to make an account here just to support the creator.

Everything about this game is so enjoyable, the characters are all likeable and interesting. The story is simple but intriguing. The humor is amazingly well written. All of this make for a narrative that's more enjoyable than what you'll find in most AAA games these days.

I absolutely ADORE this game! I've seen it streamed and played it a bunch of times at this point and loved so much of it!

I'm an easy guy to please admittedly and if a game can make me laugh, it's already doing better than most others. And boy, does this game make me laugh! Comedy on point, characters done well with a cast that really captures the motley crew type of adventure!

The writing is solid, the music was well done, and the pacing of the story was also fairly good too. Oh and we can't forget the voice acting, a rarity in the VN sphere but always appreciated just for the attempt! Now, I'm not saying it's perfect, the story does have some moments I wish that picked up and slowed down and the VA wasn't always perfect, but it didn't detract enough from the experience to grind my gears.

All-in-all, I would suggest Projekt: Passion to anyone who's interested in VNs as a great VN to put on their "Must Read" list!

Review of v0.10

This is a hard one for me. There's a lot of good in this game, but I had a really tough time with it. I acknowledge that some of that came from my tastes, but there's no such thing as an objective rating; I can only tell you my experience.

I'll start with Projekt Passions's main strength: a strong plot. Despite my struggles in other areas, I was compelled to get to the end of the game in only about 3 sittings. It's not the most novel thing concept ever - another "guy who recruits a crew of hot girls to accompany his adventures in space" story - but it's told well, and even though none of the characters have received enough character development yet, I was still excited to see their progression (except for the mc). There's a really good villain who's a bit but not too sympathetic.


The game also has great visuals. The quality is great, the animations are smooth but still dynamic, the models are cute, and the art direction is great. It even makes the typically bland spaceship interiors look (relatively) interesting.

But. I had to skip through the sex scenes. The only times I've ever had to that before are when the dialogue is cringe-inducing. That's not the case here: while the dialogue isn't especially hot, it doesn't contain any distracting jokes. The problem for me was the mc. I couldn't stand looking at him having sex. Why? It's hard to say exactly. But the problem was worst when he took off his mask. He wears his mask almost all of the time outside sex scenes, only taking it off when getting intimate with girls he's especially close with. Now, normally mcs are given masks because seeing faces can turn players off; this is the same reason some people never watch porn where you can see a guy's face. I confirmed with the dev that the mc was not given a mask for this reason, and indeed it makes some narrative sense to use it as an indicator of when he's close to a girl. For me, I'm fine with mc faces being shown, but (apparently) only if I've gotten used to them outside sex scenes already.

This might seem like a minor problem, but this created a disconnect between me and the mc, which bled into the rest of the game. Projekt Passion has a really interesting dialogue system which gives quite a lot of leeway for roleplaying, but after the disconnect I was no longer as interested in his character.

A noticable though not so important problem I had was the bad voice acting. The mc sounds like he can't decide whether he has an English or American accent, and as characters in the game remark, it doesn't suit his character model. The girls almost all have generic American accents which don't match them either; the pitch, depth and tone just don't sound like they look. In real life, of course people's voices don't always match their looks, but in animated media, we have come to expect a certain variation from reality. However, there isn't much voice acting in the game, so it wasn't a major issue. Though this also hurt it in that you get used to reading the dialogue in your internal voice, only to be shaken out of it occasionally.

Finally, there's a very annoying narrative contrivance with one of the girls as of v0.10 which I hope gets resolved soon.


TL;DR Good story, good visuals, bad voice acting. And if you have a problem looking at other guys' faces during sex, you're gonna have to skip some scenes.

There really isn't much for me to say: This is one of the best games out there and rightfully deserves all the attention it gets. It's immensely high quality, has great funny moments and the writing with each individual characters is just so good.

That said, the creator is also an amazing being and I highly recommend engaging with him and the community.

Ashe fans eating good with the later chapters.

I don't know what I was expecting but this game passed with flying colors. Plot is funny and well constructed, graphics and animations are good and acting is professional. Character design is superb as girls have natural proportions and their background is interesting. Main character is charismatic and cool.

For me, this is a solid 5/5. This is what I expect for an entertaining adult game done by a sci-fi lover.

Awesome, one of the best games I played

Story is awesome, never laughed so much in any visual novel

Girls are beautiful with realistic bodies for once, no huge breasts or ass here, and with good personalities and backstories

Music and sound effects help the immersion a lot, especially in the season 2 updates

I don't think this game is a bad game "fundamentally", but when in it comes to "adult" part, love interests and the mix of the story progress / erotic scene progress, it became quickly a mess.

I like visual novels, but this game is barely visual novel (aka kinetic), because even though most of the time it will give you 3 choices, they are mostly "pseudo-ish" choices with no big changes after all.

A masterpiece.

The narrative direction is amazing!

Even though the player cannot change the events (apart from deciding which planet to go to first) just being part of the adventure is incredible.

Most of the females partners are completly adorable, and the ability to keep learning their life histories is on point. They turn out to be really likeable charactes that have actual depth, they have their on problems, traumas and a lot of real life struggles.

Classy did a really good job humanizing most of the characters.

Also, love the comedy!

[Reviewed v0.10]

This game hits all the right notes -- fun premise and story, good models and tons of H-scenes with animations, hours of content. If you like harem games with a sci-fi setting, this may become a favorite.

The Good ()

• A diversity of love interests with different personalities and body types, although most builds skew slimmer (which is refreshing compared to many other games)
• Well-done environments with some unique settings
• Surprising humor that made me laugh out loud at certain moments
• Entertaining, well-paced story content -- there's a real narrative here
• Effective use of cut-scenes to heighten the drama at key moments, including voice acting
• An MC that is likeable and you feel like you can root for

The Not-So-Good ()

• For a game that receives such great ratings and has such a cinematic approach, I was let down by the renders -- the visual styling feels a few years behind the best titles
• The beats of the story are somewhat predictable -- story/narrative scene > scene with an LI > story/narrative scene > scene with an LI > rinse and repeat
• The villainous organization and main antagonist somehow feels very low stakes -- its like the leader of a small-town gang is fronting the galaxy's largest corporate enterprise

This is a very good game that doesn't quite reach the same heights as the best titles in the genre, but is absolutely worth playing especially if you are a fan of sci-fi.

This game definetly has Humor, that's for sure. The Story is def pretty good. The girls are hot. not a lot of games with Alien Sex in them thats a good premise. Some scenes are pretty hardcore in the factor of Drug Addiction, Murder and Suicide. This Game is not for weak nerves or people that have issues with any of this. I would still recommend playing it just for the Humor of it.

This game is damn good in terms of story and not just sex!

shit, it's like I'm watching a science fiction movie with cinematic animation!

Really cool game, from fun to sadness, from sadness to excitement, it's incredible, and also the music is really good, smooth animations that unfold slowly, as if you were watching a movie, Mc which has both jokes and sadness, not even such an alpha, but just pleasant the main character, the girls are very lively and beautiful in their own way, facial expressions and interactions are all well implemented!

Very impressive VN. Technically high quality models and animations, but the best thing is the story. A tight, disciplined narrative, literate grammar and spelling, characters you actually care about, and a good balance between humour and drama. Bought Season One on Steam, and looking forward to updates. Well done.

Can't think of anything to criticise except maybe the voice acting, which doesn't add much.

Wow... this is on another level. Grabbed me in the first couple of seconds with the humour.

5 stars for everything - visuals, story, gameplay. Stay Classy Lemon! Highly recommend, hope it gets completed soon.

- Story 9/10
- Animations 10/10
- Characters 10/10
- Renders 7/10
- Music 7/10 (Season 1) 9/10 (Season 2)
- Enjoyability 10/10

Highly recommended, one of the top AVN:s I've played with some of the highest production value I've seen

Very good game with much good points:
- cool animations. The voice acting is weird for me since most/all AVN i ever played don't have one I qualify as good enough to let it on (usually I mute the voices when it's ai or bad), but here, it's not too much. That may also be the weirdest thing: the voice becomes something I enjoy, and it's only for the "cool"/story animation which are scarce by nature.
- good characters and character growth
- the sex is interwined in the story, which is very good too
- the story is interesting. Chthulu in space basically but it works.
- the universe/galaxy building is okay.

At the moment, I find the game is going in good place, but what may be my only neutral point is the bonus scenes. Usually I don't like to have side stories. Here, they are rather well thought and appear as flashbacks from earlier in the episode, so it's okay. What is neutral about them it's that, up to 0.10 I'm reviewing, they are always one female pleasuring herself. I get why by nature (because of the "flash back" thing) but it becomes a bit redundant so I expect them to start varying in nature or else be boring and become a true flaw.

During the sex scene, I'm not a fan of the description of what happens in "thoughts" of MC, but it helps conveying what the sex-animation cannot so I accept it.

All considered, 5 stars now,hoping that dev's promises that the quality will remain are true.

The story of the game is very impressive and gripping. The scenes are very realistic and beautifully constructed. Only the script is a little short. Translations are also quite sufficient. I advise. I am impatiently waiting for the other seasons of the series.
