I finally finished the holy trinity Artemis- Leap of Faith- Chasing Sunsets since all these reference each other very often. I love how these devs they built their own multiverse stage for their games, it makes the world building feel so much bigger and alive helping greatly with the immersion.
Finished Book 1 and I got to say I'm so impressed and it feels like this whole act just set up the stage and future events so nicely. The game has it all from drama, funny moments to wholesome ones and the pacing is just about right without feeling you get overwhelmed by too much of these.
The story is very intriguing and the way it keeps expanding by the end of Chapter 4 makes me so anxious for what's next. But honestly in other games the story usually falls flat without its characters to drive it forward.
This game doesn't have this issue because characters are so well crafted and compelling. It is a rare thing to have me despise one character (Cassie) so much right from the get go so kudos to the
digi.B talent for that. The cast is so diverse and for me it was a bit confusing at start to keep track because there are so many good ones, my favorites so far being Kindra, June and DK, but I also can't dismiss the INK sisters each one of them being unique in their own way with their own distinct personality, preferences and problems making it hard to have a clear favorite.
To get back at my top 2 LI I have to say Kindra and June are S tier each episode I found out more about their backstory, motivations and so on it made it very hard for me to place one above the other, but I got to say Kindra steals the show every time she is on screen. Her growth from a very shy person to such a funny and lovable is very nice. It was so nice to see how charismatic a selfless person can be without being so overbearing. Also don't get me started on DJ Kink persona that is just the cherry on top. The same praise I have for June as well her relationship to MC is so well done it never felt forced and their growth as individuals is really shown both helping each other get out of the big hole they fell. Kudos again do
digi.B for the great storytelling.
The render quality is top tier no doubt here, you can clearly see how better it gets when you finish each chapter, the music also complements the scenes very well especially later in the story when we get montages I simply just let it run there and listened to each of them because of how good they were. I absolutely adore the menu and how dynamic it is. From the very start when you see a lifeless Artemis to the very end where she is finally awake looking around very curiously, such a great touch. And as I said this Book 1 set up the stage so well for things to come and I for one I cannot wait for more.
I have a lot more things to say but I will stop there because the review is getting out of hand and I don't want to have a whole wall of text. This was just my first impression after finished it and having it still fresh in mind. Wish the dev the very best and hope to see this project end because it is so damn good. I totally recommend everyone to try it because it is a very good VN.
