VN - Ren'Py - Projekt: Passion [v0.13 BUGFIX] [Classy Lemon]

Have you ever read a book so mesmerizing, that you feel empty once you complete it? This game left me with the same desire, as of version [v0.4.1]. There is a delicate balance between comedy and depth of emotion that is quite difficult to describe, but is woven so well into the plot that it feels seamless.

All of the characters are interesting if not lovable, even the NPC(s) that have a screen time of a few seconds, and that is a testament to the quality of the experience here. The voiced cutscenes, while not necessary- add life to the characters that already exist in spades. There is already a healthy amount of interaction between the cast excluding the player character, but more is always welcome.

The illusion of choice is rather well presented and there is almost always a different way of reacting to a situation, even if there are no long lasting consequences (yet?). I haven't experimented enough with the "bad" alignment choices, so I cannot elaborate on the same. The witty responses are funny enough to go for, at times.

I cannot expand much upon the world-building, lore and writing, but some people may not like the proportion of comedy shown here. However, I think it's just right- keeping things interesting by pushing the plot forward while providing well timed comedic relief in the gaps between. The flow of dialogue is more than well enough to keep you hooked.

The soundtrack is pretty good, but I didn't find myself pay attention to it as much as the characters and the writing, as they are very much the strength of the game. The renders are great and the animations are decent, but the way they are displayed is superior to the 'smoothness' of the same.

The direction in which this game is going is fantastic. The pace may be a bit quick, so I hope there is enough of play time once it is completed. I didn't have low expectations coming in (pun not intended) considering the developer's previous work, but I'll be damned if they weren't blown away (once again, pun not intended). This is the sort of game I'd look out for even if there were no lewd scenes.

This has the potential to be one of the greatest games here, provided there is enough length (yet again, pun not intended) by version 1.0.

This is the first game I've ever rated on this website. That's proof of the quality shown here.
Now onto the stuff I like:
~ Good writing and diverse cast of characters.
~ Actually funny humor and great models.
~ Robopussy

A huge step up from the dev's previous game in regards to models.
Can't recommend it enough!
Looking forward to the next update and the full release!

Probably one of the best games on here! It's up there with "Being a DiK". The comedy is right on time, the pacing is at the perfect pitch, the music sets the mood, the cinematic video packages are on point along with voice acting, the story gets you in your feels for each character.......I cant say anything bad about this game. Keep up the amazing work

Hey, i don't normally leave reviews but this game is amazing. The storyline, animation, artstyle and humor is engaging and unique. You know when to set the overall tone as serious and the use of humor is defintely welcome and not clichè. Not to mention, the animated scenes feel like a movie with the voice acting. Looking forward to more updates, thank you classy lemon, for the work you've put out.

v0.4.1

This game is fantastic. The writing is great, the characters are well developed and though somewhat wacky on the surface have some serious depth. The renders and cutscenes are well done. This game has a charm and wit to it that makes it standout on this site.

This is for v0.4.1

It's a great game with a nice story, superb renders, audio and animations. I am not into sex scenes with aliens and androids but the story kept me hooked so far. It's definitely worth the time.

A great game with excellent production value nice to see a story which actually strikes the right balance between between romance and h scenes. Though the story and setting is definitely the main game here even though the world it is sets in is kinda light hearted but wacky the characters do have various layers of deep emotions and personality which is being now slowly but surely explore upon as the story progress ( not really a fan of voice acting in cutscenes though that's just a personal preference) , over all its an enjoyable experience and breath of fresh air kudos to the dev for his efforts which clearly shows in the vn.

The only reason I decided to give this game a go was his first game, After the inferno .. I really liked that game, and he 'delivers' here too

The graphics are really good. Personally I enjoyed the voiced cutscenes and loved the humor, it actually made me laugh ...

The models are attractive and well proportioned, never was a fan of overblown oversized mammaries and/or behinds, always preferred them to be more realistic.

The story progression is actually different depending on what you do first, which makes sense.

While the genre might not be new, I do like his 'take'. There is no doubt the Dev has a lot of talent, I wish him the best and keep up the great work

I'm surprised with how good this game is. Beautiful renders/scenes/graphics and appealing models. The MC can be witty, aggressive and cut throat, or nice depending on your dialogue choices. No engrish with naturally flowing dialogue and the attempts to be funny with comedic scenarios and jokes land for me. The voice acting in cut scenes doesnt really work for me but this is purely subjective and can be disabled by muting the character voice sound option. All of the love interests are all pretty likeable with some scenes to make them sympathetic.

One of the top games that has been seen on this site for me, and one of the games that I will excitedly play the moment it gets updated

Wow that was great. Sometimes you forget people can makes games that are this good when you get used to the standard of things. Worth 6 Stars in all honestly. Keep it up I'm sure you're getting positive comments but this was a enjoyable experience. Scenes are great, story is interesting, the pacing is nice, lots of funny moments, and the events makes some semblance of sense, as much as they can for games like this.

Good game worth playing. Renders are great this one is definitely better than is other game. Story is interesting and funny. It's truly worthy to see how Mc dies. It's quite funny. Voiced animated scenes are great. You don't often see this in AVNs. Really enjoyed the game. Keep up the good work dev, looking forward to next updates

Absolutely amazing. This game stands out and even should get 6 stars instead of 5. The well-placed fully voiced movie sequences are perfectly placed and gives this game so much live and immersion. Every character is well-designed, nothing seems repetitive and beside of a lot of funny scenes (played the game-over scenes) there are a lot of emotions very good rendered and animated. Really looking forward to the next update!

version 0.3 &0.4.1

Brilliant game for many reasons.

• Always very polished - haven't spotted any spelling errors or typos.
• Visually, it looks great.
• Doesn't take itself seriously, has a fun sense of humour dotted throughout.

One of the highlights of the month for me, looking forward to seeing where it goes!

As of 0.4
Wow. What a great game. In my opinion one of the top ones on the site, and definitely extremely underrated/looked over. It has a great story, models, animations, the list goes on and on. Something I believe really sets this game apart is that on top of animated sex scenes the game has fully voiced cutscenes. Look at baDIK as an example of a top game that does not even have that as a feature.

I love stories about artificial intelligence, robots, androids etc., something about the idea that artificial intelligence is so close to humans that you can hardly tell them apart attracts me magically. And even if that's not the main story, it also plays a role in Project Passion.

Moreover, it is an action-Sifi-VN with good humour that I would place somewhere between "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "Marvel".
The characters are unique, have their own motivations and secrets. Heartrending moments alternate with shameless irony. The MC is a mixture of hero and naïve, carefree good-for-nothing, definitely likeable but with many flaws. And that, for me, is also what makes him so charming. I much prefer that to the perfect hero who takes the ladies by storm.

Project: Passion convinces me both as a comedy and as a serious story about personal growth and true friendship. But it's also a good AVN with erotic scenes and a Marvelesque sifi-comedy.
On the technical side, I don't know any developer who does such a great job of incorporating non-sexual animations into the flow of their stories as Classy Lemon does. I already noticed this in After the Inferno, but in Project: Passion it's even more striking.

Had a blast playing this. After the inferno was great but this is simply brilliant. I literally laughed my ass off there. The humor is so good. A quality product in actually every aspect: Story, characters, animations, lore. You can tell Lemon put a lot of thought and work into this.
Oh and i love those stupidly funny death scenes. Can't wait for more!

Renders: 5/5 very beautiful to look at

Music & sound: 5/5 very fitting music and frequent sound effects really enhance the experience. There's good voice acting as well

Animations: 10/5 extremely realistic, both sex scenes and non sex scenes are animated

Characters: 5/5 they all look very good and very unique when compared to other adult VNs. Personalities seem good too so far but we haven't had a lot of time to get to know them yet

Two things stand out in this game.

Humor: Extremely funny, and the best thing is that it's smart humor, unlike cringe humor that's so easy to fall into. I've laughed many time at this

Animations: Might be the best you'll see when it comes to these games. It doesn't only have animated sex scenes, but animated SFW cutscenes as well. And they're voiced! What other game can provide that?

Renders are really good too, the dev takes both lighting and coloring into consideration which is nice

Decent renders, nothing to write Mom about. The story is recycled bland and boring. Something you can get for one of any thousand games on this site.

This game just fell flat for me, I found it very ordinary and there's just not a whole lot of passion in the story telling. I'd like to say YMMV, but anyone who wants something that isn't recycled from one of many games is not going to find it here.

[Reviewed in v0.3]

Excellent stuff thus far! The sci-fi setting is done very well, locations and characters are all extremely enjoyable to look at. The sense of humor in this game is fantastic, nearly every scene has a good laugh waiting in store. This includdes the occasional "game over" death scene which feel like a deliberate call back to old Sierra adventure games like Space Quest; very much appreciated. The variety of visual design of the girls is especially delightful, and I am very much looking forward to getting to know all these characters more.

I do have to mention a couple very minor nit-picks. MC hasn't really shown himself to be very effectual at anything yet, despite having at least a couple chances to do so. It feels like missed opportunities, and slightly reduce my respect for the character we're playing. Hopefully that will change. Also, a couple of the sex scenes feel a bit ham-fisted into the story. I can completely understand that this is a necessary evil in a project that requires regular updates. So while they feel out of place in the moment, the need for their placement is plain as day.

I cannot understand why this game doesn't have far more attention. Hopefully this review can help change that. Can't wait for more.
