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

Pronominal game. Played through season 1 and was absolutely enamored with the story and gameplay. Came for the fap, but stayed for the story. During my time playing it I was constantly surprised by the amount of work put into the gameplay including the cutscenes, dialogue choices, and how those dialogue choices effected the outcome of the story, even in small ways. I especially loved the two SAC guard characters on the space station, those two were absolutely hilarious, and I really hope we get to see them again in Season 2. Great work, Class Lemon, I can't wait to see what you do with season 2.

This is easily one of the best VNs here that I've played, right up there with titles like Being a Dik which I also regard highly.

The cutscenes are an addition that I wasn't expecting, and they have consistently been a pleasant surprise. I haven't seen them in other games here, and they all seem really well done in their quality, their execution, their quantity, and their placement. They add a whole other layer of narrative immersion, and help bring the characters and story to life in a way that is often lacking in other titles.

The animations, while fairly simple as is typical for a renpy title, generally feel much more fluid and natural than what is typical for animations in these VNs. Rather than simply animating hip thrust, for instance, the developer has actually gone the extra mile and animated the whole characters to really up the quality, which is something I always find myself wishing more developers would take the time to do.

The sound effects and voice overs are better than what is typical, I think. I often find voice overs to be somewhat cringey in how they sound and how they're delivered, but in this case I think I enjoy them. I wouldn't say they're amazing, but they do what they're supposed to do in complementing the cutscene, animations, or renders they accompany. And the sound effects, while also not amazing, do seem to sound good in general, and are placed and used appropriately. Along with the background music, I'd give the overall sound category a rating of at least above average.

The overall art style and its sometimes seemingly oversaturated aesthetic isn't my favorite and I'm personally not crazy about the lighting and textures in a lot of cases. None of it is BAD by any means, but it could be better. That said, I can also probably sympathize with having balance render quality vs render times when considering the volume of renders and animations that are being produced and delivered.

I generally like the character design. All of the characters have a distinct look and feel to them that adds to their unique characterizations, MC included. So far there's no extreme proportions anywhere either, which seems fitting and appropriate.

The writing has been top notch thus far. I have found myself laughing out loud regularly at some of the dialogue exchanges and hijinks that take place, yet I've also found myself charmed by some of the more serious, tender, and emotional moments in the story as well. And the pacing and plot has been interesting enough to keep me hungry to find out what happens next. I've never found myself bored with reading through the VN.

The vast majority of the character interactions and relationships have felt organic and natural which is actually quite uncommon for these VNs in my opinion, so I always appreciate when a dev/writer manages these well. It's often the case that characters and their interactions/relationships in these games comes off as too contrived and gamey, one way or another, but the only awkward interaction I can think of in this game is one lewd scene with Ves that kinda seemed to come out of nowhere relative to others. But even that exception wasn't all that jarring either. The rest have all seemed to have adequate and appropriate levels of build and setup without being overly drawn out and falling into that all-too-common cookie-cutter lewd progression that I've come to find very annoying in these games.

I like having multiple mood/attitude-oriented dialogue choices to respond with that don't necessarily or dramatically impact the story all the time. They just add an extra touch of flavor to the writing and scenes without always being all that important, and it's nice to not have to worry about gaming the choices all the time in order to unlock this content, or pursue that path. It's nice to be able to just roleplay the MC, for lack of a better description without stressing too much about content I'm being locked out of, or permanently altering my playhrough somehow with ever interaction I have.

I also wanted to mention I really appreciate the subtle zooms and pans in the still shots, and the way that the transitions and montages are done. And even the small differences in character movement or expressions from render to render. These little bits aren't strictly necessary, yet add that extra bit of flavor, detail, and 'aliveness' to things that always seems to enhance the VN.

Insta-favorite.

Personally maybe my favorite game. Great sci-fi adventure with adultery. Totally love humor here, dev not even once made me laugh in full voice) Charachters very well writen and likeable, without understatement all characters have unique personalities and dialogs with them fully engaging. Story fully devoided of retarded drama, charachters have understandable life struggles and hardships and I can sympathise to them without problems.

Last but not least. MC is absolutely great. Dev perfectly knows difference between nice guy (great and awesome) and "nice guy" (pushover whiny bitch). He is not made artificially super hero. MC have his struggles and fightes his own demons. But he still pretty decent man, he faces dangers, problems and obstacles with dignity through nicely depicted struggles, solves problems, supports people around him, jokes around, fightes baddies, makes decisions.

In advances with girls he behaves like a Man, no bitching, without excessive shyness, makes first steps himself if needed. Player can see why girls like him.

From pure heart, my sincere gratitude to Dev for this great experience!

I cannot explain how good this game it. You gotta try it yourself. You wont regret it.
Characters are fun and immersive.
Its filled with lots of great humor, made me laugh a lot of times while still keeping things interesting and sexy.
Oh and sex scenes are just great. Really great.

The story is good and it has some humor to it as well, add that to the nice graphics and small voiced animations doing the game and decent music/effects it just adds up to a good game, if this had pregnancy and a virgin or two then it would have been the perfect game but even without that its still well worth 4 stars.

The arent many issues with this game, but there are two.
First it starts of with a Forced sex scene with someone which isent for everyone, she could just have been a girl visiting MC and stealing from him making it a forced sex scene is a bit stupid since everyone else is optional.
Second MC is a bit to soft in my eyes, i would like him to be alot more tuff against people like the girl in the start that steals from MC, he should show no mercy when talking to her but he just acts like he still wants to be with her which is annoying.

MC is pretty decent, i would like to see him a bit more angry at times though, when he finaly meets the girl that backstabbed him and stole frorm him he shhould be alot more pissed but he was more like a limp nuddel, i also found it a bit stupid that the girl trust her boss blindly and helps him to get the amulets when she has no clue what they do, which is just another reason she needs a good beating but i dont expect the limp nuddel to do that.

Story 5/5
Dont have any real complaints, its well written and has some good humor.

Grapics/Girls 4/5
Overeall graphics are good, the girls look good and unique i would have liked to see a few girls with smaller tits, but like most games it focus more on big tit fetish insted of making something for everyone.

Animations 4/5
They look good and there are some nice ones outside sex scenes as well making it alot more enjoyable to play through.

Music/Voice 4/5
Music is good but ive heard better in other games, but it still deserves 4 stars due to the nice voice acting and effects in the game.

This game is way more engaging than most of the AVNs I've played ... and I actually quite like that not everyone's tits are stupid big. Loving the art style, and actually care about the characters. Well done so far!

This game is sooooo good. It's mainly a comedy game, which it does incredibly well, but there's plenty of drama and emotion in it too which never feels out of place. Props to the devs for that.

Renders can be a bit noisy at the beginning but they get noticably better as the game goes on. So do the animations although they are already S-tier at the start.

Will be following this closely. Well done devs,

Evaluation of 0.81 version.

Pros:
- Great graphics
- Many beautiful girls
- Nice music with some voice acting here and there
- Some nice animations
- Nice H scenes although are not too much of them
- You can see the passion behind the game

Cons:
- Average story that was not really interesting for me
- Too many jokes for my taste. They often land but for me they cause disconnect from the story. Its hard for me to care for girls or the plot when I get jokes every other scene.
- Kaylee is kind of meh as main love interest

Overall:
My subjective rating is 7/10, objectively I would say is closer to 9/10. It just didn't work for me so much as for other ppl here. I will skip future updates but objectively its great game and I would recommend it for everyone.

Every girls having equal respect and love .no jealously . great story .no overpowered MC . Realistic powers . Everything about this game is great. especially that every girls having same love .Classy Lemon wont skip any girl .will give love to them. this is what makes this VN is masterpiece for me . and their scene will be great . Im not here for Sex. im here for great writing. this VN gives me that .

This is one of the best games on this site, amazing writing, lovable characters, good world building. It really scratches that sci-fi cowboy gunslinger itch. If you are looking for hot androids with actual backstory, this is the game for you.

Really polished game.
Great characters and models, a cool sci-fi setting and a healthy mix of light comedy and darker serious scenes. Its the kinda game eveyone will enjoy and i look forward to future updates.
This is in the will purchase to show support section of games.

Lemon has considerably improved in just about every aspect that I can think of, compared to after the inferno. Not that the previous game was bad by any means, (play it to understand.)

The story pacing is just fast enough to keep my attention, but not so fast that I feel rushed and overwhelmed.

The 3d models look way better compared to his previous game, none of those bug-eyed anime gals anymore!

Looking forward to the final version.

I cannot describe words on how good this game is.

graphics are top notch, the comedy great, and plenty of sex. Every girl is very beautiful, and even the robot interest is very well shaped and written. I cant think of a single negative to say about this game because everything just feels so smooth and flows very well. Will be keeping an eye on game for a long time. 5/5 stars forever.

I have just discovered this gem (and future if not actual bangers) and i was surprissed that i had not just food a great porn games but that there was more into hit , there is so much heart it's incredible . i think i'll support the creator on patreon . i can"t wait too se what he does with this game.

The storyline, the dialogues, the art. Everything is well done! This is the kind of game where you know that the dev have the utmost passion and dedication and it reflects on his work. One of my keeper games together with DeLuca and Eternum! Keep it up and more power to this game

I don't usually finish AVNs, or just skip most the dialogs for the fun parts *wink*. This is the only one that kept me going because of the story, The characters, the comedy. I was intrigued to see how it all unfold. And I was not disappointed. Looking forward to the next chapter in the story.

I played up to 0.7 so far.

This feels more polished than After the Inferno (which is an above average work, although I felt that the story wrapped up too fast and had more potential).

Renders are gorgeous, story is as immersive as ATI and I really appreciate the codex. Writing is very good and I don't recall any mistakes.

Some minor points (personal opinion, feel free to disregard):
1) I thought the voice acting didn't really suit the characters (unless dev was intentionally aiming for that).

2) I cannot really explain why, but I didn't feel anything during some of the emotional scenes (e.g. when the two were alone at Pollux or the campfire with the 3 of them). I recognise that the scenes are supposed to elicit some sort of empathy, but I think either the backstories weren't fleshed enough or maybe the scenes came about too abruptly.

Overall, I would say this game is top tier. I hope the dev makes it a longer game and explores the plot further, because I think it really has a lot of potential.

Edit 1: I thought about it and I think what I meant was that more SoL segments might help with exploring character motivation and adding depth. Right now the story needs more meat on the bones, so to speak.

One of the top games in the space. You can tell the amount of passion that went into this game; I'd say it's in the same tier as BADIK and Eternum. If you're familiar with BADIK, the MC reminds me of Derek and the voice in scenes threw me off a lot at first. It took some time but I got used to it.

The very goods of the game is the writing is super high quality. It's almost like a comedy game with some stretches of seriousness, then an adult game second. It's the first AVN where I tried the obvious "bad" options just to see what happens. You can tell the type of game and how well-paced the game is within the first hour of playthrough. The models and characters are great with personalities behind them. Ashe is currently my favorite arc, but each character has their own story. My very minor nitpick is the voices in scenes don't always feel matched up with the characters, but the voice acting in scenes are refreshing to have. The UI is well made with scenes being easily replayed. I would say it's a must play

I LOVE Projekt Passion! Everyone's hot in unique and interesting ways, the dialogue is hilarious and extremely punchy, and the story has me riveted. Absolutely killer game. Eagerly awaiting each new update. Well done!

Absolutely fantastic VN.

Engaging story, great renders and animations, enjoyable humor that doesn't feel out of place.

I would write a more in-depth review but I honestly don't think it's needed, just a great game and I hope to see more like this from Classy Lemon.
