    This is a great slow burn story I thought that really held my attention. I personally liked most of the characters. They boyfriend is a bit of a tool, but I guess that helps with the reason for our MC to become corrupted. Nearly all of the h-scenes were quite hot and I'm really looking forward to seeing them progress. While the models and renders aren't the best, they certainly work well.

    Plenty of negatives though. First is the extremely long development time between releases. If this had a lot of choice variation, or extensive animations, than I'd get it. However, choices in the game are literally "do you screw around with this person or not" and the animations are very minimal and rather basic.

    Either way, I'll be keeping it on my watchlist and will look forward to this VN progressing.

    + renders
    + nice threesomes

    - Jess bf is a loser. Her neighbor have to teach him how to eat pussy, that's embarrassing xd
    - story/characters are boring
    - unlikable mc, she is a bit arrogant
    - game is too much focused on Heather and Conner - both have most content
    - so many years of development and Jess still don't get a real action with other dudes
    - no music
    - no gangbang/dp scenes
    - Jess logic: doing lewd stuff with other girl is totally ok, but with guy is not. Why she is so resistant every time? It makes no sense


    I expected much more from this avn. 2 stars for now

    Too bad about the long update cycle (since 2018), this is truly a gem. From the pacing to the renders, it's a truly 5 star game.

    Enough story for a strong base, but nowhere near complete so looks like another 5 years easy, if anyone wants to wait. 4 stars because it's more likely to end up abandoned.

    Facttho

    Great renders with somewhat underwhelming animations. Story and character progression is moving in slow motion. What makes this somewhat of a letdown is the development speed and lack of content on the different routes. So far it's alot of teasing thats it...

    Great renders but average playing experience, Jessica is hot but she is not very likeable.

    A game that has a lot of potential, which unfortunately the developer himself is killing due to its slowness, how do you create something beautiful and then demolish it, graphics etc. it deserves 5 even more, but with all my heart, it's discouraging to have to wait an eternity, you almost forget you played it, I hope for something quicker

    Used to be a 5-star game, but the story is going nowhere due to the massive amount of time between updates.

    Also seems like the developer is putting less effort into the game on all fronts in general.

    2 stars for good looking renders, but that's about it.

    Great game with a lot of potential and fantastic renders, but sadly the updates are extremely slow, and, like many games on this website, it seems potentially at risk of being abandoned entirely.

    Renders/Artwork: 8/10
    Scenarios/Fetishes: 7/10
    Writing/Story: 7/10 (only on *some* of the routes)
    Animations: 6/10 (fairly basic, but not bad)
    Sounds/Music: 4/10 (no music)
    Update Frequency: 1/10 (waiting a year for a 5 minute update is never a good thing)

    Tastefully Pervert

    A very sexy game that will take some patience.

    The pros is that the sex scenes are very well written, have proper build up, there's seduction and flirty banter and its all done well.

    The con is that there's a lot of writing... a LOT. It'll be tempting to skip the actual plot of the game with the skip function to get to the relationship scenes only which can be stimulating but you'll have much less context to what's happening.

    Even still, a very well written story game most sex games can't live up to.

    Writing is good. The way the artist handled the sexual tension with other npc was nice. I like that she simply didn't fuck everyone, instead teased them which made the next scene even more interesting for me. But this game felt like 20% finished. At this rate I don't think this game will ever finish(I don't like unfinished games)

    Don`t like the Story... It doesnt catch me.. Renders are super, but too much shittalking. Also, the different facets of Jessica do not give a coherent picture. Her basic motivation is somehow all too suspect for me

    This game is great, not only the visuals are amazing, the design of Jessica is one of the best or one of my favs at least, but it does something not many does, and its to portrait the "old-young" sex scenes in a incredible sexy and healthy way, and by healthy i mean that usually we see that on games as the typical "old ugly bastard" that the girl dont want to have sex. Here its completly diferent. Animations are really good and story too.

    This game is massively overrated. Jessica is so damn stupid and constantly makes bad decisions not related to player choice. One of the most annoying things about this game is that no matter how you're choosing to play, this game will force her boyfriend down your throat. If you're watching someone else have sex it's "I wonder how me and conner look," if you're masturbating it's constant "oh conner yeah!" Like even if you're trying to not be faithful to him the game gives you no choice if you want to have sex with him or not. Also the game tries it's hardest to make another female coworker seem like a bitch, with Jessica's inner monologue saying so and her acting shocked at the way her coworker acts and talks. In reality, the coworker is just up front and honest about things and Jessica is a damn pushover. She thinks that saying no to something is the same as bullying a person. Her reasoning for doing things is also insanely stupid. I so wanted to like this game as I saw and heard so many rave reviews, but with the story as it is there is not enough choices where there should be. There are so many points where there should be a choice (mostly regarding the boyfriend). There was just not enough actual choice in this game and the story is not strong enough to carry it on it's own. Very disappointing.

    There are a plethora of games available that feature male protagonists, but the number of games that focus on a female protagonist perspective is comparatively equal but sometimes lack quality. However, there are still some excellent games that have managed to highlight the capabilities and sexual struggles of female characters with great success. of course, in a fictional exaggerated way, as these games shouldn't be expected to depict realistic female characters.

    This particular game stands out as one of the best when it comes to providing a captivating and engaging female protagonist perspective. The story is well-written and engaging, allowing players to connect with the main character and experience her journey as if they were a part of it themselves. The graphics are also top-notch, featuring excellent rendering and animation that bring the game's sexual themes to life.
    I'm definitely supporting this game in the near future. more VN developers should strive to reach such quality.

    Jessica O'Neil's Hard News is an another rare gem in its genre, it seems like an actual story that happening, also having lead female is refreshing.
    Story and relationship parts are very realistic , this is an unique advantage , also observing things from pov of a journalist is quite interesting.
    I can't wait to see how story unravels later, keep up the great job.

    J.O.H.N. is a very good game, however be advised that this is not just a porn game, there are some sex scenes, and pretty hot ones at that, but the game focuses on telling a story in a mature tone and while this involves sex, it is not the main focus of the game.

    The models are really good, with Jessica herself being a very attractive woman (nearly a bit too much, super-model like, I would have preferred a more "regular girl" looking model, but that is just personal preference). Thee male models are varied and different, and even the old guys are not your usual "disgusting old man" but just old men.

    There are different characters that you can interact with and chose to which degree you get involved with them.

    I particularly appreciate the fact that Jessica has a choice, I hate corruption games that are all based on coercion and it is very refreshing to see a game where the MC gets to chose what she wants to do or not. The only thing though is that she is a bit too prude for my tastes in some instances, in particular with Mr.Parker, with whom, after several encounters and obviously being attracted to him, she has yet to have sex fully.

    Overall though I enjoyed the pacing of the game, the story is also interesting and well written, with different characters having well written personalities and with the whole world making sense and the situations being credible.

    I will definitely keep an eye on this one and will more than likely purchase it once it is completed, hopefully on Steam or similar, it is well deserving of that.

    Absolutely amazing and wonderful graphics. Animations are top, five stars deserved for that.
    Story is unique and goes with the flow, reminds me a bit on a game „A wife and mother“. Just this game is far more playable and interesting, plot is excellent and give players enough action, not to fast, not to slow. Just the right tempo. A lot of hot and sexy scenes with different characters in game. I can see sequel of the game with Jessica when she becomes a mother. Incest included.... Jessica after 20 years (example). I haven't check tags but there is a lot of space for incest here... Mother, sister... For next closest updates. This is definitely my favorite game with the best story ever. Best triggering decisions included. Game who i always happily wait for an a update. Keep doing great job. Magnificent!
