    Great work. I played Into the Inferno on Steam and liked it alot so I'm eager to give your next game a go. And I gotta say, huge step up. The character models are much better than Inferno. All the girls are interesting characters. Dialogue is great and the comedy is solid gold. Not too many comedy porn games can be genuinely funny without going overboard. As long as the goofy moments do not downplay the more serious elements of each character's story, keep it up. The overarching story is also intriguing though.... I kinda wish we gotta see the amulet. It gets mentioned a ton but even just establishing what it looks like might be nice. Unless... its actual appearance might be too spoilery perhaps..? Maybe even talk more about how the MC acquired it in the first place?

    That aside, looking forward to what comes next. Cheers!

    When I found f95zone, never thought I would become fan of a game which makes you laugh rather than the obvious ;)

    I had already enjoyed the previous game by classy lemon, but this one is just exponentially better. The dialogues, the setting, the characters, everything clicks perfectly. The jokes are the best part. Each one of them lands without any cringe.
    As a harem tag skeptic, i thoroughly enjoy each LI is this game. All of them are unique and quite lovely. Even the sweet sandra has shown more emotions than some run of the mill girls in other harem games.
    All in all one of the best games on this site, def my top 5.

    As of v0.7:
    Another fun sci-fi adventure, Projekt: Passion, blows me away with the amount of PASSION that went into this PROJEKT. There are genuine cutscenes and voice acting that is ACTUALLY GOOD. Comedy mixed with emotional moments always spells good news, and it is no different with this one. While there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the dialogue choices as of yet, hopefully we will see some major changes resulting in different scenes or consequences. Play this one or FrAnS will hunt you down.

    What's the best feature of the game ? It's refreshing.

    Honestly, the story and the dialogues are so well written that the sex scenes become a bonus. I can't recall when was the last time I laughed so much, Classy Lemon's a genius, for real.
    And don't even get me started on the overall quality, it sets the bar extremely high. Hell, it's beautiful, it has animations (even cinematics...) AND it has voice acting (cheers to the VAs too!).

    To sum it up, the game's amazing and absolutely hilarious. Try it out!

    Projekt Passion is an entertaining read that will keep you interested throughout. There are no wasted parts of the script as the dev does a good job of weaving plot, narrative, world/character development into each scene while keeping the same, excellent sense of humor and tone.

    There are poignant moments such as when one of the LIs are opening up to the MC - these are done well as they show the emotions through how they see them, rather than exposition - and slow, cinematic reveals such as when they leave the hangar for the first time.

    Last, the animations are the best that I have seen in Daz. The opening animated scene of action is quite good and sets the tone for what is to come.

    Don't trust SAndrA, she's obviously a SAC spy.

    Oh wow what an amazing game. I'm speechless after finishing it, can't believe this flew under my radar for so long. Been sitting last night and this evening to get through it and honestly the time flew by so quick. Everything about it is superb. Took my time with it and now with this long review about my experience so I apologize in advance for the lengthy novel.

    You have no idea how many games I tried so far me having an excel with pretty much dozens of VNs to test and I was so ready to see another disappointment upon me when I got to this one. Like literally last 15 VNs before this one first thing I was doing was to go to preferences to enable Skip Unseen Text fully expecting just another one of these soulless harem game or these ones with MC legit stuck in a house just plowing the "step-members".

    From the very beginning when we are introduced to our protagonist it is so great how well the humor is used and it never feels out of place or forced and it really flows well too complementing the scenes. I was expecting the whole masked MC with the glowy eyes to bother me but honestly this has to be the best looking one I've seen in any VN's especially considering how hard is to nail the expressions. Having him masked also could've doomed the whole scenes funny or emotional ones. The way you can see the range of emotions MC can show with his eyes really steals the show. Big praise to Classy Lemon for this.

    Speaking of emotions another thing that pushes this forward are the characters you meet along the way. Really loved how everyone you meet is not just an asset thrown in there just to look pretty on the renders. Each character has a purpose either to comedic timing or to the story. Loved how also each love interest has this little backstory thrown in between the missions or main story to enhance their personalities, it does make them feel like real persons and not unidimensional. Also I found it brilliant how these bonus scenes were implemented by these seemingly random encounters MC and LIs had. A breath of fresh air and it does not feel out of place at all.

    The MC is also one of the best in the genre not being insufferable, he has his own flaws and him being sometimes the butt of the jokes gives a lot of room for character development, for example seeing him so much incompetent at start but slowly growing as a reliable leader in the eyes of each LIs is a nice touch. His humor also gives room for the other characters to shine especially during the banter and the funny moments.

    I cannot wait to see what we have in store in the future updates and will definitely get this gem on my Steam library. For me so far its among top 5 VNs I played and it has a lot of room to grow. Wish the dev to have patience and will to finish it at his pace and also to get the recognition he deserves because this type of game is so rare on the market and it's a shame to not see quality like this be rewarded.

    I do have a lot more things to say about this but I feel like the review is getting way too long and I wish my english knowledge was more advanced to better express my feelings about it.

    The writing in this one is seriously good, if your looking for something more on the comical side this had me laughing like crazy. Its not often I actually read all the dialogue in these but this is worth reading. Good job on the devs!

    Reviewed version: 0.6

    This game doesn't do everything, but what it does, it does really well. You could argue that the player's decisions don't make much of a difference, but then again, did anyone suggest otherwise? I love the fact that this game appears to receive updates every 2 to 3 months, and that's simply not happening long-term if a developer is going for a branching story where each decision has to have a lasting impact.

    While the story might not be branching, I'm still having an absolute blast with it. I did not skip a single line of text. I'm not attracted to all of the characters, but I care about all of them, which is ultimately the single most important aspect for me in terms of how much I enjoy a story-driven game.

    Just from reading the description and looking at a few screenshots, you might get the idea that this game was just tons of lowbrow humor and mindless sex. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but there's much more to it. You are embarking on an adventure alongside a group of ladies with different backgrounds and different personalities, each with their own hopes and fears. And, they also happen to be down to fuck.

    So far, I think this game is amazing, and I can't wait to see what's next.

    great game! just love the sense of humor the dev got, I was literally ROFL at some scenes, can't wait for the update. Great characters and renders, also one of the very few games with in-game voice acting.

    While I may not have an extensive amount of adult gaming experience, of the games I've played thus far I can say with absolute certainty that I haven't felt this much for the characters of the game until Projekt: Passion.

    It is the first game classified as pornographic that I was actually invested in the emotional growth and character progress of the actors involved. I found myself laughing at the scenes involving the Ravin' Raiders, and had quite the guffaw during Emily's 'fight' with Blugg and crew. And the fact that we can name a terrifying character as "Steve the Janitor" brought a smile to my face.

    Subversive comedy aside, the musical score for some of the more tender or darker scenes hit home nicely as well. I actually felt a profound sadness for SAndrA in the latest chapter of the story: her struggle with identity, the tension between how she felt after the death of her previous owner and the uncertainty of her future capped off at the end with our main character carrying her after her energy ran out. I especially liked that whole montage that covered her life thus far, drawing a deliberate juxtaposition between the kind--but restrictive--relationship she had with Sgt. Keith, all the way to (at least in my playthroughs) acceptance and love from the crew. Her worry that she would be yelled at by Kaylee during their hug definitely pulled at my heart strings.

    The animation--particularly during the sex scenes--were top notch and I would not say no to just having a full-blown movie of the adventures of the Passion crew. The facial expressions--specifically Kaylee's--were well done during the lighter moments of the game (that scene when she says 'amulet' at the beginning was pure gold).

    It was obvious that Classy Lemon cared a lot about characters in this story, and I for one am glad to be along for the ride. Can't wait for the next chapter!

    Review updated for chapter 10.
    This game is like when you flork the blaggabloo.
    In my previous review a year ago i called the humor absolutely exceptional and highlighted how the choices brought the obvious humor!
    But now its chapter 10 and this is the best chapter of all! Not all the humor is more subtle but come on its soooo good, and whats subtle i'm hitting you in the face with.
    The characters are still some of the best, they are varied, they have different motivations, they have backstories and you have options with all of them.
    I already loved this game so much, but chapter 10 is the best this game has been. There is a noir mystery to work on and maybe solve. A one note evil character gets some back story and some empathy and there is a fun competition!

    This game has a unique artstyle to it that not a lot of Daz games have. You can clearly see that it's Daz but it has a more anime-ish inspired character design (Though they don't actually look anime like in After the Inferno which some people had issues with) which is refreshing in comparison to the samey characters that we usually see in 3D games. Other than appearance the characters are also all likeable, even the minor side characters. I don't think there's one character I dislike.

    Renders look really good, some scenes could have a little better lighting but that's made up for by the careful coloring of them, the dev makes sure to use colors that make good combinations and don't clash with each other, and it works.

    Music and sound effects are high quality and always fit the scene, whether it's an emotional scene, a funny scene, an intense scene, etc.

    Finally, the animations are some of the best I've seen in a Daz game. I've tried animating in Daz before and safe to say it's really bad and frustrating, so I have to commend the dev for being able to create such well animated scenes with it.

    Review of version 0.7/Season One. - Spoiler Free


    Projekt: Passion is perfect. But it isn't. Realistically speaking, when it comes to any type of media, we cannot perceive them as perfect. Everything has to be flawed to some degree. Ask any creator of anything, ever. They will tell you something they could improve upon in their work. And once they improve that, they will find another detail, no matter how minor, that could be improved. I'm sure even Mr. Lemon would give you a dozen of things he would like to make better or different. Now, despite all of this, I consider Projekt: Passion to be the ONE perfect AVN, and despite that, it probably is not even my favorite one. After all, we humans are not binary beings that would perceive the world on a binary spectrum of "perfect" and "imperfect". Therefore, if something is perfect, it doesn't make it the best. PP (I shall continue calling Projektk: Passion PP from now on.) comes very close to the top, though. Now, to move away from the abstract and start with the more comprehensible part of my review, I would like to put my words to reason.


    PP is not really perfect in the traditional sense. There are probably scenes that could look better after a bit of fiddling with the camera, the lighting, and the expressions. There may be music that is not fitting as well as it could; maybe some sounds a little too stiff. Audio mixing may not be completely normalized across every single file. There may be some... you get my point. These, for lack of a better word, superficial factors can always be made better. Even if by a miniscule margin. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that PP is lacking in any of these categories. I mean, have you seen some of the stuff that Lemon is capable of? PP is among the best of the best when it comes to the body and soul of said AVN. It's not perfectin this aspect, though, for it is feesibly impossible to be.


    The real brilliance of the game comes from the fact that it managed to make use of a completely different aspect of the industry that you wouldn't even consider. You see, there is one thing that most AVNs have in common. It is the episodic nature of updates. Normally, you would completely disregard this aspect as an unfortunate circumstance of the industry. But I'd like to make the argument that Lemon managed to weaponize it to a wildly strong degree, dare I say perfect it? And I'm not quite sure if intentionally. Hear me out..


    Whenever a new game comes out, its quality usually fluctuates with every update. Mostly, these fluctuations are not that massive, and the quality stays roughly around the same point. There are some burning exceptions, of course, cough cough AL. But when we average it out, games usually stay around the same level of quality throughout their development. This is not what happened with PP. When I first played PP, it was quite obvious that the game was great. It did not really engulf me with passion in the prologue of the game or anything, but it was definitely well above average. Now that has changed. I'm not sure if this is a byproduct of Lemon being a superhuman who can simply absorb all of his experience at once and build on it in a matter of 2-4 months. But when it comes to PP, the quality manages to not only steadily grow, But it manages to steadily grow RAPIDLY. I do not perceive it as feasible to have THIS much growth as a creator with every game you make. Lemon manages to do it with every update. It's genuinely baffling. And it's not even him getting better and better with every update. It's the set-up, the twists, the cliffhangers, it's everything. It works so perfectly to make you yearn for more. It doesn't utilize cheap tricks to create an artificial sense of suspense. It manages to make everything work together so fucking well. There is nothing on the market, that even comes close to the quality that Projekt: Passion has. It perfected the nature of the format. And I'm willing to bet that there won't be anything that even comes close to the bar that PP set for a long, long time.


    Unfortunately, there is a problem with my statement. I'm contradicting myself. If Lemon gets so much better with every update, how can it be perfect if the next update utilizes this better, right? I'm scared of the fact that it won't. I'm scared that 0.7 is the breaking point that won't be beaten, even by the likes of Lemon. It's just.. too good. Too perfect. But I have faith, that Lemon will be able to prove me wrong. Even if it won't be the next update, it will be the one after, or the one after that. I don't think this is the peak of what Projekt: Passion can give. I think this update is the peak of perfect Projekt: Passion.


    TLDR: good game, play.

    Not good, not bad. It has its ups and downs.
    I can tell the developer puts a big effort on it, but I simply couldnt enjoy it.

    +Audio is pretty god included some voice acting
    +Some good animations
    +Decent humor from time to time

    -Many boring text lines, saying the same things over and over
    -Renders looks like 2018
    -Models arent hot for my taste

    I love this game !

    A very engaging story with amazing writing. but the humor is what really makes stand out (The Pizza scene had me laughing to tears). i believe a an engaging plot with good writing can make or break a VN and Classy Lemon knocked it out of the park here.

    Renders and sex scene are not the best on the site, but they are done beautifully. and they are secondery for me anyway.

    Animations are amazing, especially the voiced ones out of sex scenes.

    The LI's characters are unique and very well developed, the way you tell their backstories is very, very well done. i love each one of them so far, although i'm still on the fence about Aria, but i have faith the developer will handle it well, and hopefully we will get a choice on what do with her.

    In conclusion, an amazing game and you should give it a try

    Love the game.

    Visuals are all around awesome. I especially love the fact that this is one of the few games where people have realistic proportions. Imagine my pleasant surprise when i don't see two air balloons that would realistically sag all the way down to the knees on every LI. It's visually a breath of fresh air.

    Characters have just the right amount of fun and seriousness of their background - plus having an entire world setting for them adds to the enjoyment.

    Also absolutely love the comedic touches, including the option for joke suicide choices - always an underrated addition. Comedy if executed well always brings games to the next level for me.

    Not to mention, I love the attitude of the dev enough to point it out. That to me is just adding to it all.

    Very much worth a try. Already one of my favourite games.

    9.5/10

    Game has been wonderful so far!

    I love the girls. All of them. Personalities shine through fairly well, and they're all beautiful. Sandra and Kaylee are my favorites, but I don't have a least favorite, or one that I am not inclined to pursue.

    I enjoy the MCs character, and especially our ability to, more or less, effect how he acts.

    The humor in the game is very well done, and I laughed out loud a few times. It is a little disjointed with the story at times, but it works. And the animations are stunning. Exceptionally well done.

    The story is interesting. I want to see how it grows and develops. I like the fact that, where the story is so far (.06) we have a reason to stay the course, but there has been enough that happens that, even though still validated in standing against SAC, it is easy to wonder if they're actually the bad guy.... or at least, potentially, a "lesser evil" opposing a greater evil, which is still out there.

    I'm looking forward to more story, new girls, and more scenes with my girls. More codex entries.
    And I'm hoping, at some point, I get to bring Mei over to our crew.

    I did NOT expect this game to be this good! It has even got professional looking voiced animated cut-scenes. Quite impressed and the story is well told and interesting. Also has plenty of humor too. I'm really looking forward to the further development of this game.

    I honestly didn't expect to like this as much as I did because of the scifi setting (just a personal preference). But what I found here was more than enough to make me change my mind. Lovable girls each with their own personality, interesting plot (both kinds!), excellent renders.

    There aren't a lot of choices that actually affect the plot, but the usual choices that colour the MCs personality are enough to keep me engaged. I also liked the writing, and the comedy got a few hearty chuckles out of me.

    There is no sandbox, freeroam or stupid minigames to waste your time, it's all about the characters, their backgrounds, the story and how all of it comes together.
