VN - Ren'Py - Sassy Girl [v0.5.4] [Hematite]

This is a really great game. The story is interesting, and the model is beautiful.

Graphics:
The model is beautiful, and the environment is also good. For me, 9/10.

Animation:
The animation is also good. For me, 9/10.

Story:
It's an interesting story. I love to impregnate and fuck pregnant women it really hot. For me, 10/10.

Character:
The characters are beautiful and have very interesting personalities. For me, 9/10.

Overall, 9.5/10 for me.

Sassy Girl is a fun game to play, in my opinion. I really recommend it. Janine is so sexy. I really love her.

0.4.13

I got to impregnate and fuck a pregnant redhead.

With that being said, this is definitely an interesting story that borders on realism, yet requires a decent bit of "suspension of disbelief". No mother walks in on her son sodomizing her daughter and is like "Ya, this is fine".

Most of the models are attractive, a few aren't. You get a mix of fat bottomed girls and skinny ones.

The story to me seems fairly original. I feel like it could be re-written to be a bit more natural, but honestly the dev could do that after they have finished the game and are doing a remake.

I will play future updates. Watching the MC's decent into madness along with his mother and seeing where all these delusional girls are willing to go could make for an interesting read while sipping my morning coffee.

The game started off strong had a ton of potential in the earlier chapters it had all the elements to tell a great story and had some decent visuals and characters to back it up, there where some romantic moments that I enjoyed and everything seemed to go in the right direction so what went wrong?

You might ask then why the low rating? well its simple for some reason half way through the story everything that made the first chapters great disappears and it becomes a dumpster fire very quickly and by that I mean that the writing gets worse sentences start making less sense, characters turn in to complete psychos yelling and screaming at each other all the friendliness and romance is completely gone.

The MC starts off as a normal dude pretty likeable in the beginning but that doesnt last forever because he is a total douchebag pervert in the latest updates he honestly gives me the creeps and its something you often see in the latest updates where characters act completely out of character from when you initially meet them in the early chapters.

It honestly almost feels like two different devs worked on the game because I refuse to believe that the same person who made the pretty solid start of the game is the same making the latest chapters that are very subpar.

The last two updates are indeed so bad that the MC rapes women and they even thank him for it nothing makes sense in the story anymore another thing that I thought was pretty dumb of the story that made no sense was the boss turning out to be the MC mom I felt like that was just shoved in the story for no reason other than for incest.

Overall I do not recommend this AVN you're better off spending your time playing something better because from my experience of playing this game its like going from playing something nice with so much potential to seeing the game slowly descend in to madness and seeing everything get destroyed with each new update until there is nothing good left.

Sassy girls more like dumb bimbo sex doll. All of the women in this game are unlikeable sluts who talks like they wouldn't do anything with other men yet they they act like thirsty whore. There are not many sex scenes and plot, characters writing stupid. Renders and characters models are average. Ngl, wastes my time playing this one. If you like whorish women then this game for you cause it's really hard to like any of these characters.

Sassy Girl [v0.4.8]

I played Dev's previous works and I enjoyed. I enjoyed this one too quality wise this one improved lot. I'm glad this one male protagonist game only. There is also a character cross over in this game from his previous work Darkness revenge.

Biggest plus point of the game is renders and pretty girls. At the start story was very much interesting and characters felt like well written. A nice harem game but suddenly game took a bizzare turn story got more twists and it got more kinkier. But I go with flow and enjoyed it. Surely this is a turn off for many. Seems like we get an ending like in the movie American Psycho ( everything is happening in MC's head) but it's players choice though. This is just an assumption of mine will wait and see

Overall I enjoyed the game. Looking forward to next updates keep up the good work dev

Story: 1/5 Story went from being interesting to making you physically cringe. There seemed to be an interesting premise where you live with your boss, and is different from other women lets say without spoiling. Few updates later, you forcefully fuck her daughter, and it suddenly turns out your boss is your mother, and fine with the rape. I don't know if the dev got paid to add this part in or what, but it should've just been an extra non-canon scene instead. Ruined an interesting plot.
Art: 4/5 Decent
Models:3/5 Good, nothing too special, but good.

The story on this one took a nosedive. The 'landlady' walking in on the mc raping her daughter and then thanking him (and later the daughter too) was when I mentally checked out. Writing was mostly alright. Sometimes, the 'landlady' would go bipolar out of nowhere and reset any progress the mc was making, because the plot needed her to. There are also many incidents where the mc just decides he is Sherlock Holmes and deduces everything, because he has a psych degree? It's a little annoying because he will go from stupid teenager to brilliant strategist and it's just taking the piss. Also the game has choices, but it's more the illusion of choice as there is a right answer and every other answer will net you less content, so choose wisely!

Renders are nice animation could use some work, if you are looking for something to turn your brain off for this might be it.

Well, what can I say, this game ticks quite the good points in my book:

1) Compelling, flawed, believable characters: their personalities feel distinct, writing believable and even relatable, they are all quirky in more ways than one and outright over the top at times, but that's what makes a person interesting and intriguing to begin with.
The characters grow, there is some sweet character development and the MC might just surprise you.

2) Interesting storyline: Whilst at times predictable, its very nice to see how many small details slowly grow leading to bigger twists and interesting outcomes, which although somewhat linear, don't detract from that sense of discovery and progression, other than feeling well fast paced and organic.

3) Tasteful Aesthetic: Well the girls are all beautiful, ranging from shapely petite to generously voluptuous.
The shots and framing are well made, lighting although not always perfect, its very well placed in some scenes, moody and evocative alongside fitting music.

4) Music: Did I say music? Despite in my opinion not on the same level of Summer's Gone where feels are concerned, is a decent and on point fit to many of the scenes, really complementing the mood most of the time and managing to stick in your head with the associated scene.

5) The meaty twist: is a very welcomed surprise, which I won't spoil, but if you know you know.
Although rather predictable, I think its very well presented and justified compared to most other games attempting to dip into the fetish, I really commend the developer for fleshing it out in such hot and tasteful way.

Very much recommend playing through it, there is nothing I would change of this game and encourage the developer to keep going as they are.

Hematite is doing a good job with this VN. Characters are dynamic, and the plot is decent enough.

Characters are solid. Each one is just developed enough for lots of growth down the line.

Story is decent. I won't spoil anything. Lets just say its an ok plot.

Renders are good. It's always a plus when devs don't have black missing scene screens.

MC is passive to an extent. Always waits for a bit before actually stopping people from walking over him. It comes off as more believable.

Summary

Decent enough plot that revolves around deceit and revenge. Not 100% sure if this is actually a harem VN or not. You do have the option to romance several women. Possibly the tag hasn't been included.
Good characters, good humor, and a decent plot make this VN worth the time to go through. Hematite is doing a good job with it.
I can't give any reviews of the length of time for releases because I just came across it today.
Either way I recommend it. As of now, there is a decent amount of novel here to enjoy, and several choices to go back and explore.
Keep up the good work and hopefully it continues to get better with each update.

just played 0.4.4 version.
Original plot. Nice reneders. Amazing mommy that what love the most. Don't know why, but she becamehotter and hotter with each update.
I love the way you made your story and ypur choice system seems to work well.
wish you good luck with your game

I would've given this game a better review earlier on, but from like [0.3.3] onwards, the more forgivable errors have just gotten objectively worse.

The writing that was previously just clunky has simply gotten atrocious. The use of the points system previously seemed to have some sense of purpose, and now it just seems totally meaningless and forgotten. The writing is so bad at this point that you aren't even sure what your choices will DO, because the dev just has absolutely no clue how to write. If English is their second language, they desperately need a translator/editor. If not, then wtf.

The story used to have some sense of interest when it was insinuated that the MC would work to revive Sassy Girl, but instead it's moved onto this absolutely moronic incest plotline that is so unnecessary and so meaningless. I am fine with incest as a kink on this site - generally it's generic and not very impactful, but that's fine - but HERE, it totally distracts from anything that could actually be interesting and is this ridiculous out-of-left-field attempt for shock.

The visuals are really the only thing that have maintained some semblance of quality. It's the only reason I'm giving 3 stars.

I think this game is a solid four stars, but some of the criticism is valid. I think the twist was something a little surprising, but it is set up fairly well and the game is good all around, I like the characters and the premise is fine, the MC is an idiot but he's not over the top about it, and sometimes he is smart, it can cause whiplash, which leads me to my main criticism. The dialogue in this game is so over the top and off-putting, but the scenes and models make up for the weird dialogue.

I'd say this game is worth playing, it doesn't set any standards and I can't say it's one of my favorite games, but I think if the author fixed some of the over-the-top dialogue and had them speak like normal people, I would be a bigger fan.

Review for v0.4.4

Just not a very compelling experience for me based on the content I played before dropping it.

The opening therapy session did not have the intended affect I assume it was suppose to have on me. All I got out of it is that the MC has a very defeatist attitude, which gets pretty annoying since there's really no nuance to it. The game tries to describe him as intelligent when all I see is yet another horny brain MC crying about how girls don't love him. Hard to take him seriously when he doses off during it to dream about fucking his therapist (dream scenes suck btw), combined with dialogue like "I have to find a job, hang out with new people, and stick my cock in some holes!" Just shut up man.

The plot after that is pretty nonsensical as well. After learning our MC has a Tony Soprano style fixation on his therapist, an eccentric narcissist "information industry mogul" break into our apartment and starts talking about how masturbation is better than sex. Turns out he owes our late father a debt, which he is now repaying to you in exchange for proving his wife's infidelity so he can divorce her without her getting anything from it. We will do this by going under cover at Sassy Girl magazine as an intern. I suppose it works enough for a porn game, but it plays out rather unnaturally.

And that's the thing, how unnatural the game feels. The MC comes off as a creep with his weird flirting and perv thoughts, which the girls are abnormally receptive to of course. Then we get to the job interview, where we learn the inter position is unpaid and we might need a second job to make money. That's ok MC, instead of that I'll let you, a complete stranger, move into my mansion no problem! The we meet Adele, who's personality is just an extremely exaggerated mega bitch. None of the other girls are any better really. All the characters feel like B list actors playing a role rather amateurly than feeling like real people.

I like the premise of working at a gossip magazine honestly, but the characters and overall writing aren't really doing it for me. I didn't play through all available content to be fair, but I don't feel like forcing myself to do so.

The story is ankle deep. You think you will get something good as it starts with a therapy scene, but man was I wrong. It's good i don't live in America, or I would have shot myself in the head. Don't write therapy scenes if you don't know how.
The MC, as you get to name the MC you think that you are playing as the MC as in his personality and choices are dictated by you but nope, the MC is their own character you don't get a single say in how he behaves it's like a kinetic novel and no just cus you have choices like yes or no it doesn't make it a VN.
The MC is supposed to be in a difficult period in his life feeling stuck, aimless and lacks confidence it would be great if it was just that but nope. He's a fucking horn dog that has a boner for every single woman he ever meets.
Now the women (and the renders in general). Plastic and looks like one of those silicon sex dolls. Tits look cancerous and personality as spicy as sugar.
The renders are meh, noticed some clipping here and there, but it's not a big deal. It's just really generic. With how saturated the VN market is, it kinda blends in together with the other 50 titles right next to it.
My advice, make the MC more playable, right now the MC has multiple personality disorder, give him a specific personality, either the struggling man trying to find his place in the world or the horn dog that wants to stick his dick in every hole.
Never try an MC with psychological hurdles for your VN, as It's really hard to do so.
I would say make the women look a bit realistic, but that 100% ain't gonna happen.
If it's the devs 1st VN it's a 3/5 anything other than that it's just 1/5.
Conclusion Good for a wank (for some)

Current version of this update 0.4.8

This game seems to have a decent amount of choices and branching. Not sure how big of a impact those choices have as I don't have a desire to play more than 1 save until content for the other LI I like gets added into the game. As I have zero interest in 3-4 of the girls in this game. In part cause the breast are just to big or they are just crazy or a horrible person.
Story

Story is a bit boring at first. But then it picks up and I just kept wanting to play more of it. It never gets really good but it is enjoyable. As the story starts out as the MC helping some rich dude out for money. As of Chapter 3 switches gears and turns to a revenge story.

Characters
I feel it's too early in development to say if the characters are well written or not. But the ones that have a decent amount of development seem to be written decently enough.

I really enjoyed how if the MC decides to be an asshole to a LI they won't take it but talk back to the MC and put him in his place. Be warned 2 of the girls in this game are straight up crazy and horrible human beings . 1 the MC can turn into a camwhore. Not sure if that is based on choices or it always happens. The rest of the LI are decent enough but those 3 I mention some may have issue with.

Then as of the last few updates it took a sharp left turn and became a dumpster fire. If you rape your sister , she thanks you and the mother says it was a good punishment like what in the actual fuck. I've yet to play the last update.

Animation - they are meh not that great but better than nothing.

Writing - Normally I don't talk about this as I cant tell the difference between good and bad writing. But I noticed some typos here and there not too often but if you are sensitive to this you are warned.

Overall
A game that used to be enjoyable until the last 2 updates or so. It's a mix between porn game and story first . I enjoyed some of these characters and I just enjoyed the game in general and enjoyment and characters is the most important aspect to me. However that all changed in the last few updates. Now this is a game I will only play to see how much worst it can get cause I just cant help but wonder.

Renders - 5/5
Animations - 4,5/5
Story - 5/5 - interesting plot, i like it.
MC - 4/5
LI's - easy 5/5 - lots of girls, beautiful MILF's
Music - 4/5

Great game with stunning LI's, beautiful renders, captivating story, good animations, pretty cool MC. What do you want more? Content give us more!
Easy 5/5, looking forward for future updates.

Review of version: v0.4.0

I know writing this review that I am going to be the odd one out by saying that I really do not understand how this game is rated so highly. The ONLY positive thing that I can say about this game is that each of the LIs has a unique bodytype and a distinct personality to set them apart from one another. Everything else is honestly very lackluster.

Right from the jump we are introduced to a pathetic MC that is crying about never having been loved and how everyone in his life abandons him. Then he immediately forgets all of his problems and starts daydreaming about fucking his therapist. Just really odd behavior to open your game with if your goal is to have people actually like and sympathize with MC.

Then we get to the actual important beginning of the game. A man who we don't know breaks into MCs apartment, starts talking to us about masturbating to the drawings MC makes, how mastubation is the most gratifying thing a person can ever do and then offers us a job at his wifes magazine to prove her infidelity so she doesnt get anything when he divorces her after bragging about his own infidelity?! Like seriously this scene fuckin sucks lmao, how the fuck is this the best your writer can come up with to hook a player into continuing your game.

I personally play VNs that have a focus on the story first and adult content second and while this game does seem to be that way, the story if you can even call it that is just not strong enough. I only encountered 2 scenes in my playtime. The first was a creepy peeping scene on Miriam after she was nice enough to let you stay in a spare room of hers so MC isn't homeless during his internship trial period. The second was a blowjob from a famous actress after you lie to her about being a movie producer and offering her a role in a non-existant movie. Just overall scummy behavior from the MC. Of course those are choices, but in an adult game if the option is scene vs no scene, it's not really an option is it?

Back to the point I made about how each Li has a unique personality and that being a good thing, thats not the whole truth. It feels like they try to give them varying personalities, but just for the sake of them having varied personalities without actually making them feel like well thought out characters. I honestly have no idea if I even played the same game as everyone else writing reviews since they all seem to be singing the praises of how well written all the characters are but I don't see it. Like why is Adele such a bitch? Oh thats just the way she is. I'm sure calling all your models "Cock sucking sluts" directly to their faces is a great practice as a professional photographer. Why is Dorothy such an airhead but also in charge of the aspect of the magazine with the biggest budget? Maybe these things are answered if you have the mental fortitude to sludge through the awful writing but I just can't make myself care enough to continue reading this nonsense. The only Li with any sense of normalcy is Janine and she tackles MC and licks his nose on their first meeting, so still not that normal.

I guess at the end of the day MOST of my problems with this game boil down to MC and him not really having a defined personality. He's just kind of a social chameleon adapting to whichever Li he is interacting with at the time and trying to please them with no actual conviction. At the end of the day hes just decieving them all until he can claim his paycheck from the sketchy dude that broke into his apartment.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this VN, i think it's great. The characters are well made (both visually and from the writing perspective), making them feel real and fun to explore.
There are some dark scenes in here, that I personally didn't like, but made sense in the context of the story and the character's motivations, but they are optional. So if you are into that, there's a bonus for you.

New Age Treasure in 2023, I'm obligated to give a five-star rating and recommend this game to everyone.
Wonderful new technology character model , and wonderful game frame design.
The game really does what it takes to get the player to make choices with a great story and graphics rather than relying on mods and walkthroughs.
Which brings us to the wonderful story of this game:
The author uses a story full of mystery and intrigue to entice players to discover the relationships and life experiences of different characters step by step.
To be honest, I wonder why there are so few reviews and discussions about such a good game , this is one of the best games to be released in 2023.

Version: 0.3.5 Review:

Downloaded and played a few days ago. I am giving this 5 stars.

The story of course begins a bit out there, like most adult games, but once you get past the initial shock of WTF why/how? The rest of the story is written well and character development is present. I like that each character the MC interacts with has a backstory that has been fleshed out and there is a reason for that person being there.

The pacing is solid. The dev(team?) has done a great job of pacing dialogue, location changes, and intimate contact. Nothing is more annoying than getting to some of the steamy parts of the game only to notice that the dialogue was an afterthought and the pacing for sexual activity has now increased. This game does not suffer from that. Yes the pacing does increase but there is the right dialogue, location change and player choice to make the in-between parts to off set the increase. After playing so many games this is the one thing that I have noticed many developers having a tough time with.

The renders are decent. Nothing crazy amazing but also not 4 - 5 years ago bad.

For anyone checking the reviews before playing:

Solid Game
Decent Renders
Great character development
Unique personality to NPC's
MC's choice has some impact
Fresh(ish) take on workplace intimacies/ relationship -NPC's are aware of your interactions/activities with others.
