VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Sassy Girl [v1.0.0] [Hematite]

This game is really odd - there is a lot of potential in terms of this game just poorly executed overall.


Story wise this game is all over the place and in parts really disjointed. It feels like there are too many branches and the story gets a little wonky depending on which branches you are playing. Things skip around or just don't make sense in this manner. I do think the premise has some serious potential. Different from the other "landlady" tropes out there. Unfortunately the pacing, writing, and even translation of the story is just all over the place. This VN suffers from a translation problem and needs further proofreading to just make sense. See all the instances of "Oh Mom!" over "Oh Man" from the love interests.

Scenes are subpar in way of movement. I do think the writing here is particularly good and if you are a fan of incel MC's and into non-con then this game is most certainly going to hit some kinks for you. For me this bit was a little jarring and maybe needs options in terms of "if you want to see this content".

Models and characters have good backstories, just outside of the main characters they don't develop any further. Like I mentioned, lots of unrealized potential here that the dev could parlay into the next title. Dev definitely needs to focus on rendering, animations, movement and translation.

I played this game on a whim and I must say I was disappointed. There was some intrigue in the story but man did it go downhill fast.

Story: 2/5
I am giving an extra .5 for the potential. There was a gem of a story in the game with mental aspect and how it could be exploited. If the dev did not know how to use it respectfully then fair play to how he ended it.

Sex Scenes : 1/5
Okay, nothing great. Pretty much the same.

Models: 1.5/5
Liked the models. Felt they were just a bit too "big" but acceptable. But character development and characterisation was not good (almost horrible)

Replayability: 0/5
Nope. Its a once and done game.

Comments:
I really hate giving such low ratings because I realise the work and time and resources that go to making a game. Also the dev finished the game and gave a conclusion which more than half on this site never done.

So I say congrats. And hopefully if dev makes a new game they will take all feedback positively and improve.

Sassy Girl is certainly a unique, decent game, but fails to reach the heights that it could easily ascend to.

Story: The story in Sassy Girl is pretty good for the first 2/3rds of the game. It keeps the reader engaged in the mysteries of the plot pretty well. It lags a bit in scenes with characters that feel like they don't matter, but it's not that bad. The story eventually breaks down in the last third of the game when It really doesn't stick the landing and the ending feels quite rushed.

Characters: The only characters worth giving any time to in Sassy Girl are Janine, Miriam, and Beatrice. All the other female characters feel like they have no relevance to the plot other than to fill out the company and to have a few sex scenes. This led me to be indifferent to many scenes with these other characters. They just aren't interesting and are barely seen in the story. On the other hand, Beatrice and Janine have interesting dialogue and a relationship with the MC that feels worth playing the game for. That being said, the real gem of Sassy Girl is the main female character, Miriam. Without her, I may not have continued playing the game. She's easily the character I wanted to see most because of her complex story and interactions with the MC (her MILF allure surely helped too). These two plot points being unrealized made it feel like expectations were unmet and took away from an otherwise great character. Her ending also feels rushed and left me wanting more. All in all, this leads to half the cast being completely useless and the other half being the only reason to play the game.

Renders: Sassy Girl's renders are pretty good. The settings and the characters look visually good, the images aren't grainy or low quality.

Scenes: The sex scenes in Sassy Girl are about average. One problem is that the cumshots are underwhelming, being just a zoomed in picture when it happens. The animations during scenes are usually pretty spicy and are probably the best part of these scenes.

Overall, I think Sassy Girl could have been one of my favorite porn games, and it has its moments, but with half the cast of women being uninteresting, the game feels somewhat like a let down in the end.

3/5 Stars

It's a good game. It has a basic storyline, which is followed until the 4th chapter. Getting to the end, the sex scenes gets monotone and kinda boring, but the early game is good. It doesn't have a bad ending, it just left too much out that you could easily do a sequel or a DLC to complete.
The missing star is for the rushed ending, as all relationship were rushed and feel kinda incomplete

Good start, unexpected middle section, absolutely lackluster ending.
My expectations were probably too high based on the description.
Too bad it could have been a really good game.

Unfortunately, I can't understand why it still got 3 1/2 stars.

It has some good ideas, but then most of them are thrown at the garbage when the plot decide to move fast. Very fast. With no sense of pacing. Some girls had their time to shine before that point, but some do not, and they will not very much matter in the long run. Then there is the "sister" situation which is... strange: it's very fast to come, very fast to explode, then very fast to go and disappear. Why?

The girls (most of them anyway) are good looking.

great looking characters and good variety.
surprisingly compelling and engaging story. occasional odd line but not too troubling.
would love some more content, especially more scenes the main 6, some got more attention than others and up to luck whether your favorites get the spotlight more often.

All over the game is good story and climax. All the character is beautiful. Though i wish the game would add more content like more scene with each girl with mc like developing more relation build and and a good harem s..x content will be better...thanks

I hadn't played this one before, graphics looked nice and a different story to be had, so as it was completed I gave it a go, and finished disappointed.

Three stars for decent graphics, some really beautiful LIs, an interesting story (till the end) and completed tag.

Graphics were good, especially Miriam the primary MILF in the game.

Gameplay was decent, nothing really amazing and typical of VN, stats were there but after I started playing around with endings and different routes I found many of them meaningless and little effect.

So pretty much dropped down three stars because of the messed up endings offered, short and non satisfying endings, and convoluted poorly done paths.


All and all - an enjoyable VN while playing and going through the story with some decent graphcis (surprising few sex scenes for what was going on) and endings were rushed, and extremely unsatisfying after a decent story.

The game itself was quite good in about any regard so far, but there are now unexpected bad endings following seemingly good paths... It just ruins everything. This is nothing but an "f* you" to the players. Whoever wants to play this should keep this in mind.

Very enjoyable, with lots of beautiful women with varied personalities. Hopefully there will be more pregnancy scenes available in the future. I highly recommend giving this game a playthrough. You won't be disappointed.

Brillant start had ticked all the right boxes ,then fell short due to weak narratives, unengaging characters. The story might lack depth or coherence, leaving players confused or uninterested. Characters could be one-dimensional, with dialogue that feels unnatural or forced , it's not just one element failing but a combination of factors, resulting in a tedious experience rather than an engaging one. The key is balance: compelling storylines, relatable characters, and appealing visuals, just baffling how a good game got ruined with the mental gymnastics wish the dev best of luck for future endeavors.

A great game with great renders, great videos, great girls, great story, great english and great humor.

It's just a pity that it's quite fleeting.

Each character is given literally one update. Be it a sister, a lover or a girl who is expecting a child from us. Well, two updates at most.

I like this game. The girls are hot, the kinks are there, the story is weird and the choices are everywhere and change things. What more do you want? Also games where the mc can be a selfish ass are the best!

animation: really solid work, better then most of the games you'll see out there.
Storyline: A twist on some old favorites, the MC is a bit smarter then most other games which I like.
Scripting: This is probably the weakest section, the writing has some good moments but otherwise suffers from some stilted dialogue and common errors. If you're interested give me a script and I'll proofread it for you Because the bones are good it just needs to flow a bit more naturally.

The game is fun, lots of action and is pretty intense, more so then some other games in the options you have. I like that there is a points system but that you can still access all the girls without having to replay or anything as long as you choose correctly.

This game has gotten extremely weird. And that's on a sliding scale given the website we're on.

That porn games have dumb weird plots is something of a given, so the fact that the woman who owns the magazine the MC is working at turns out to secretly be his mother, okay, par for the course. Then she turns out not to really be his mother, strangely, still, par for the course. But at around the same time, the game turned into a series of unconnected sex vignettes for some reason.

The initial premise of working at the Sassy Girl magazine, while living in the owner's mansion, being paid by her husband to sleep with her, and finding out she's our mom (or not) is entirely gone. In the last few updates, we've barely gone to work at all, except to engage in a weird BDSM-dubcon-noncon scene in the basement. Instead, we just get weird sex scenarios executed oddly.

For example, one day we suddenly have to drive Karen (I think) to an interview. We hop in the car and suddenly we're in the mountains and a blizzard approaches. When did it become winter? Who knows. How far up did we drive exactly? Who knows. Where were we driving again? Who knows.

Forced to seek shelter in an abandoned cabin (of course), etc. etc. we fuck all night. We fall asleep. Suddenly, a sasquatch appears in the cabin, puts a blanket over us, has a few lines of dialogue, then bam, we're back home again. What happened to the interview? Who knows. How did we get back home? Who knows. Sasquatches?? Who knows, but they've also been referenced in other dialogue since, so I'm a little worried they're going to show up again later.

There's a whole plotline now where both the mother and the MC are losing their minds and - I cannot emphasize this enough - this is not the craziest part of the game. We chain up a coworker in the basement for BDSM sex using unrealistic, physics-defying toys and positions. The MC snuck into a hospital in disguise as "Doogie Howser" with a terrible 70s porn-stache and raped / coerced two nurses (the only two people in the whole hospital, I guess) into anal sex. The MC's therapist has a cat roleplay fetish she lives out with him, and her husband shows up and gets cucked all of a sudden? The MC fucks a dim streamer, who leaves the kitchen tap on, which floods the kitchen up to their ankles (not sure how, unless the kitchen is waterproof). And after each scene, we just move on to the next as though it never happened.

Final minor gripe: the choices you make during scenes are inconsistent as to their outcomes. Sometimes if you try to push the sex further, the scene ends earlier. Other times it's the opposite. No idea how a player is supposed to know what to do when the results of their choices are basically random.

The schizophrenia storyline by itself wouldn't ruin this game for me, but I have no belief the developer is going to take it somewhere good. I'm not even sure it's the same developer any more; the last few updates have seemed an entirely different game, a shoddy parody of the first few chapters.


Miriam's hot though and the girls are perverted, so if you can close your eyes and ignore the text, maybe you won't notice the trainwreck occurring around you.

I dont really understand why this game has such low ratings, its really well crafted. The models are gorgeous, the story is interesting, it has good pacing, it has just the right amount of choices to be made, honestly a solid 5 stars for this. way better than most things on this site...
Edit: also want to mention, INSANE amount of playtime for a 2GB game...

stupid story that got dumber and the "plot twist" ruined the entire game
Unlikeable mc
LIS went to nowhere
Options dont mean anything
There are insane games like Shadows and stupid ones. This is stupid.

The story started interesting, but went down in quality with each update. The dev added a bunch of tags as bait and has confirmed with the latest update that they were never there to begin with.

I was already on the fence with some of the choices not mattering, and inconsistency in scenes regarding choices, but this last update turned this into a negative review overall.

Review with 0.5.4 (27.08.2024)

The visuals are gorgeous, the sex scenes are great, the fetish to impregnate your girls gets fullfilled, and some kinky stuff is also served.

What bothers me is the story, or better the pacing of the story.
This game has a good setup, and greatstart ,but derails too fast into "gotta fuck them all". Additionally, the author's setting plots arounf mental illnesses. This is a very heavy topic, it is poorly executed. Not only do all the girls have some mental traumas or problems, also the MC suffers from a very heavy mental illness. As said, such topic is hard to execute. In this game it is also the case. Mental illnesses are portraied as surpressed emotions, and are cured with the proper answer (pick your choice).

i would like to gibe this game a higher rating ,but I can't because of it.
That aside, the visuals are great, the scenes are hot, some kinks served. The gameplay loop is standard (answer correctly); nothing new.

I'm looking forward to this bcs I am curious hwo the story will end, even though it's kinda silly
