Jason, Coming of Age

Positive Points: +the older version Negative Points: -AI animation -AI 2D -AI dialogue -HUD -Strange achievement system Conclusion: I don't know what happened to this game, I didn't actively follow the evolution, it was a classical VN with a decent quality but now it's just a shitty game with AI slop everywhere (insert your favorite Buzz Lightyear meme). The 3D render were okay but the AI animation make them look completly different every time it's just pure rubbish. There is a strange achievement system with the posters in the game and of course everything is made with AI slop. The story is tons of boring dialogues probably mostly written with AI. There is no point of listing every bad points of the game, the dev just put everything in a trash and replace it with AI in a complete lazy way to end the project quickly. There is nothing to save on it. Test done in verision 1.7.6 completed

So many ugly and fat women with saggy huge breasts (even when their stats say 34C) and enormous fat asses, and several midgets. Only Maddison looks nice. MC's sis' GF is decent. The other women are eyesore. What with all these big ass big breast games? It is unsightly. Never heard of proportional body? The original 3D models are nice and the dev changed them to these trash. Story is non existent. Characters talk like runaway train. Renderings are shiny (unrealistic). Many unnecessary or not working features. Characters are introduced but has no interaction and then be forgotten. Basically, all flash no substance.

The game is rated 1 out of 5. I'll explain below why I gave it that rating. I wouldn't have given it a 0 because the developer added AI video inserts, which also added to the plot and scenes at the beginning. But the 1 rating is precisely because the developer cut the game, and as I understand it, Steam's rules are to blame, so the developer was forced to cut some content. Two DLCs were removed from the game: one with Lara and the other with Christmas. As I understand it, this was cut because of the main character, as in the Christmas DLC, he falls into the Shota category (plus, he follows his sister in the bathroom, and there's a scene with his sister peeing), and Steam, as we know, doesn't like that. And in Lara's case, who knows, maybe it's a copyright issue; I have no other explanation. Then they cut the sequel where the main character wakes up in the hospital and then the scene with his sister Lexi. And the main complaint is the removal of all content featuring Lexi's sister. Again, he left the scene with the door where Lexi notices it's open, but that's it. Again, I understand that maybe the developer lives in a place where the legal age is 21, but for most, it's 18. So for most, Lexi's sister is an adult. Ultimately, the developer left the scene where the sister meets Lexi, and then it's as if she doesn't even exist in the game. They lost the scene where she peeks at Lexi masturbating (there was a scene where she was walking down the hallway and heard sounds and at that moment peeked into Lexi's room), then the bathroom scene (if you find earlier versions, Lexi was looking at her sister's vagina sexually, and then they changed it to just discussing waxing), a blowjob scene in the protagonist's hospital room, and a lesbian scene with the sister of the protagonist's friend. So, Lexi's sister is a character, there's a short scene with her, and that's it. This begs the question: wouldn't it have been easier to just cut her out of the game, as if she never existed? Hence the negative assessment: a ton of content was cut and lost from the game.

I do not mind the use of AI and I think the AI looks relatively good. The issue I do have with this game is the story and the flow, there is no real build up and choices seem semi abigious on where they will lead. I'm all for using AI in this way so keep the good work and looking forward to part 2.

This is attoricously bad... I remember playing this a year or two ago and even though I remember it being somewhat decent, nothing about it has remained the same as what I remember and it changed for the worse. The overuse of Ai generated slop animations and renders are such a downgrade but that's not even the biggest issue with this, it's the fact that the dialogue seems to be fluffed up using chatgpt or something. Like it's not even an exaggeration, almost 80-90% of the dialogue is pure soulless gpt slop, they go on and on about useless and irrelevant stuff that nobody cares about, during the beginning of the game there is almost a 20-25 minute segment of these characters going on and on about some random burger place and it's all the most rage inducing soulless ai generated dialogue that reads like a telemarketer trying to sell you a product. Just horrendously bad game, renders were already uncanny but ai just takes them to a whole new level of creepy.

Basically a collection of excellent 3d renders. I've seen the ai animations get a lot of deserved criticism but a lot of the writing reads like ai too, and it's very tedious to mash through all of it. But the renders make it still an enjoyable experience for me. Ok, now that i've finished the game i have some more criticisms: the fact that every character basically just fawns over the MC sure prevents any of them from having any semblance of a personality. Also, there are just too many of them, the whole game basically just introduces a bunch of people and then jumps the shark with a ridiculously stupid ending, setting the next episode up to be an even sillier power fantasy than this one (if it ever gets made).

it is sad to see that a game that was once soo "good" now is soo bad Why do i think it is bad? - it mostly has to do with the massive over usesage of AI What is bad about AI? - all the poster on the wall that are displayed are AI // WHICH isn't bad in the first place in general - WHAT is bad AI in this game is ALL the animations, they all look like they are "underwater" what i mean with this is -all pictures are looking washed up- "like they are playig under water" - AND now my biggest problem with the AI animation is that all characters doesnt look like them at all in the animation I cant believe that im saying this but there were atleast two scene were the hair did grown mid animation AND OR the hair color did change mid animation - AND IN ONE SCENE THE MCs FACE did change soo much that it looked like a baby with an adult body that that creeped the shit out of me so in the end can AI make look something better i say yes for sure BUT they used the AI soo wrong that i would say it damaged the overall image of the game for me and im happy to not see anything with this kind of AI again in 2023 i played ep1 (v0.8.1) and i was fucking hyped for this game to came out and see how it is going on with the story and what i found in 2026 is: the game got a lil bit of a pre story to it and DID NOT went the why i hoped. T his game now 2026 (v1.7.6-s) is a AI-SLOP festival it couldnt get any worse at all

This game by far gets a 5-Star rating as far as graphics, story and game play...But, I'm giving it a 2-Star because, I am unable to reload a save after quitting the game and relaunching the game DUE to the FACT that my save files are GONE...They are in the folder, but not on the load screen...Can you PLEASE update the save and load to the basic setting so that it is more practical for saving and loading??? It would be very much appreciated...Otherwise I literally won't be able to play the game unless I do it in one sitting, or leave the game and computer running when I go to sleep. Thanks!!!

OK gonna go against the grain here. Lots of hate for the AI animations and graphics on reviews here, generally I don't get cranky about it, its the future and we will see much more of it. So with this version (completed) 1.7.6 I find an extremely well structured game, with excellent graphics and an interesting story. One of the best I have seen come out, doesn't matter if its AI to me, the use of it was excellent. Lots of LIs, many variants lots of story to come....and that is why my 3 stars. Complete, its like an introduction for me. If you explore all the paths, there are a few sex scenes, and done really well. But the majority of the characters get nothing in this version. It does mention a Jason 2 coming, sure thats fine, but this is not a complete project by any stretch. You do not introduce a pile of LIs, have one conversation and then try and say its complete. Incredible effort, visually wonderful, gameplay great as well...and then it ends. So 2 stars off for doing that. Otherwise, totally disagree about AI slop or whatever you want to call it, its really well done.

I really like this game the last time i played it, but that was a while ago. The game was basically recreated using AI and its terrible now. The original characters are alongside terrible looking abominations. The game has animations almost every frame that is entirely AI, one second your looking at a nicely rendered model, the next a eldritch horror trying to imitate a human. Then the Dev also completely removed the ability to skip unseen dialogue, so its just a pain to play through.

Amazing potential that was ruined by AI slop. I have no idea why this Game doesn't have the AI tag as most of their Graphics are AI, only basic 3d then with a filter of AI then makes into a shitty animation of AI, all of this does not look good as there is contents inconstancy with 3d models and the AI. Had potential but has now just fallen to AI slop. And BTW the game isn't "Completed" at all just this part is. the second part will likely come out next decade as the dev is incredibly slow with updates.

What the fuck, the game is complete? And it only has one vaginal sex scene and otherwise it's just teasing and cuckolding shit like other men or women groping each other while the MC watches. On top of that, there's gay shit where the MC licks up his own sperm without warning or an option to refuse. It's disgusting. Even though I set the MC to dominant at the beginning, he turns into a gay lord pussy and is passive the whole time, stuttering like a little kid. What's the point of setting preferences at the beginning if they're ignored?

I just can't understand all these devs that change basic functions of renpy engine, worst of all blocking skip? wtf is that shit and their save system is also shit. There are mods that revert these stupid changes but for whatever reason it seems the dev try his best to annoy and dictate how his game should be played, because you have to make some workarounds to make the mods work. Can't bother with this game i dont care it the story is incredible.

Important note, most reviews below are from before the dev decided to go full on AI slop route. Hence why they might have high ratings. Starting from 1.7.1-s, the game went on full AI slop. Most preview images and banner do not reflect the real game visuals. Currently the game's visuals are terrible in almost every way. At 1.7.1-s version dev decided to go back and re-render all renders with AI renders. As a result, almost none of the renders consistent. Skin tones and muscle lines never match. Nipples and private areas change often between renders. Animations are also very lazily made with AI and dev went back to re-make some of the old ones with AI as well. Compared to more carefully AI made animations that have somewhat decent looking animations, this game does it the worst way possible. Animations completely change the art direction of the game into realistic style. You can think of it like going on a road trip and changing your destination midway. The AI prompts used for them are so lazily made or possibly even without prompts and just slapped in genAI to generate videos that you might as well take screenshots and feed them to Grok for better animations. Story is nothing spectacular. It doesn't have much going for it. It is a mid mystery and aphrodisiac superpowers story. Even if there was some saving in the story it is heavily overshadowed by AI slop. Technical aspects wise with the latest update 1.7-6s (jump from 1.7.1-s) dev seems to have intentionally breaking functionality of renpy mods and basic functions like skipping. If a dev spends time intentionally to fuck over modders or taking away basic functions instead of putting that time to better their game that should give you some strong red flags whether to support the development. Renpy after all is an open source engine, if you want to close source, there are other engines.

The AI in this game takes me out of the experience all the time. The AI animations just are why too different to the 3d style of the game as it goes to realistic and when the animation ends you can really see the flaws of it come into place, random people just appearing, jay walking people unnatural movement in cars and people, the text too is just a boring slog fest that isn't great to read either. So if you do not like AI then this game is not for you as the game is like 80% AI.

Has a lot of potential. don't really get what a lot of the stats are for since they don't really affect anything currently but maybe they'll have a bigger affect in later updates. Honestly not too sure about a lot of the ai I feel like which is being used with some scenes, A lot look great but some don't look the best. Overall I definitely enjoyed it and I'll be waiting for updates in the future

I find it really hard to give a score to this game. I played it for the first time a long time ago, back then you started with the MC inside a moving van, with his two best friends, going to his new apartment to start his independent life. You soon met a bunch of LIs of different backgrounds and body types, the characters were interesting, the renders were good, you had a lot of choices (for example how much pubic hair the LIs had, your sexuality... etc) . The story had supernatural elements and was interesting enough, with dialogues that made sense and advanced the plot. Updates weren't the biggest (normal given the quality of renders) so I gave it some time before playing it again. Back then, I would have rated this a 4.5 towards 5. I just started playing the latest update and.... I don't know what has happened with this game. The renders are still good, the choices for pubic hair and sexuality are still there but the start of the story has been moved before the events I described. Now you are in your room, thinking about your move in a couple of days, I have gone through 3 - 4 basic scenes, MC in his room, then MC goes to meet his friends for lunch, MC and friends enter the restaurant, and then MC and friends finish lunch and leave. Going through that has been a painful slog.... sure, the renders are still good, but the dialogues are repetitive and try to be intellectual while being at best superfluous and at worst non-sensical. On each scene there is too much inner thought, all pretending to be philosophical and failing, in all of them they are looking at posters in the walls and trying to get some meaning of life out of them which is quite cringy. Entering the restaurant, for example, the owner says "hi" back to them and, for two of the characters, this is the first interaction with the owner, what follows is 10 minutes of reading, in different ways, how much of a "no nonsense" person the owner is, how fun she is, how much in control she is, how much she owns her persona and image.... dude, she was cooking and said hi back to the one of you that said hi, and then that she would be with you in a minute. You get a full personality analysis out of that? Then follows a women empowerment speech by one of the LIs regarding the posters in the walls, that also takes way too long, tries to read things that honestly are not there, twisting every image into one of female empowerment when they are basic porn posters and gets way too philosophical. I had to fight to keep on reading, and, on top of that, you keep getting pulled out of the action by "go and click on the posters in this wall now" , "go and click on this icon of a panty that is for 0.2 seconds on your screen so you can see how the wind lifts the character's skirt" and other nonsense. So..... I haven't advanced further than those scenes, even though I will try. But why do I feel like I have to force myself to keep reading? Why include elements that take you out of the flow of reading continuously? Why add dialogues that bring nothing and repeat themselves continuously? (we get it, Rosie is unique and special because of the sexual innuendoes of her buns in the burgers she makes... oh so unique....) You had a good start, in media res, as the classics used to say, you had a good intro of the characters, and now you get us back and bring nothing of value to that start..... As I said, I will probably try to keep reading it, try to reach the point where the story started a year ago, see the moving, see if the story picks up the pace, see if there are fewer of those continuous interruptions..... but, if this start is how the whole game has been reworked, if I need to keep forcing myself to go on... then I will probably abandon it soon and add it to my ignore list. So for now, giving it a 3/5. Your mileage may vary.

Tough to rate this one. On the one hand its a high quality VN with the extra cherry. Ai is used quite well here for animations and scenes and transitions. But despite the quality the thing thats off putting is the framing of everything. Even if you pick the hetero route the camera will frame Jason the MC in homoerotic ways and even switch to the female point of view without your choice. Not a huge fan of the "natural" aspects of the presentaton either.

80% of assets are AI, files are also encrypted with some retarded extension so you are forced to slog trough a game if you want to fap to pics, or replay the whole game in case you missed a scene and skip function is locked, presumably to make it a paid function later

Okay, just a heads up, this is a complete rewrite of my review and a downgrade from 3 to 2 stars. i played this one awhile back, couldnt remember all to much and so was a sorta, fresh take. alot of changes and stuff i remembered and some i didn't. it ended and i wrote my review. however afterwards it was niggling me, stuff i now remember but wasn't in the version 1.7.1. so dug into my archives and found the old version i played, 0.11.1. played that one again. and i was right, ALOT has been removed, the main story has gone backwards and not forwards. alot of scenes removed entirely. the start of the game is infact different. now to be fair to the DEV, theAI remake of this game, as thats what it is. has added a whole new game start, more backstory to add a whole slew of new chars, but at the same time has cut alot of content on the main story as result. not a fan of this, why these ones can't be added later i dunno. so onwards.... the Dev has clearly gone back and done a remake of the story, injecting AI everywhere. now i can get behind AI in these games, if used properly and smartly. and to be fair, the DEV has, remaking and having the AI from the start helps alot, rather than adding later or just small sections throughout. i really think this AI is gonna be the norm. saying that, AI is still janky, the changes and consistency is still not perfect, but good enough. the UI and overall look of the game has been greatly enhanced from the older version. though i feel the writing and dialog has taken a change, maybe AI writen aswell, it feels forced and far more crude than it needs, while at the same time, trying to be fluent and elegant. its a weird combo. alot of music added and it goes well with the scenes and chars its linked to. at teh same time alot of bloat has been added, the older version did have these little moments of clicking a char or something to get an image etc... but in this newer one, thats been cranked up alot. clicksfor AI posters, panty hunts and little secret AI shots. its far more distracting than helpful, well to me anyway. if it was a fresh play of this game, i honestly would be at the 3/4 stars. but having played an older version and the amount of time this game has been developed, the amount of cut content and the backwards nature of the main storyline, nah. sorry its a downgrade definitely. no matter how much i like the new UI and overal feel, the decent music and much smarter injection of AI. the remake and reversal of the story has left a bitter taste for me. so its a 2 stars from me, my opinion of it, from playing both versions. to a new player fresh. i highly recommend you play it, as its now well polished, i can see the game going far, i just don't know how long its going to take the DEV, to get the new version back to same point in the story, as the old one. But good luck to the DEV, it is coming along nicely.
