VN - Ren'Py - Chasing Sunsets [v0.9a] [Stone Fox Studios]

This one's a fcukin bomb, one of the best romance novel out here any day of the week. Bloody gorgeous girl that Jhaye is,. Completely immersed with the way story progressed and the friend of mc who died was emotional moment for me. You gotta feel sad that Mallory is in the same universe. Just give the option of damn throuple with Jhaye and Mallory. Animations and renders are sleek. Can't wait for the next update.

TL/DR: This is a game everyone needs to play, if you're into deep story that pulls you in wanting for more for and for characters that feel alive due to their dynamic personalities that really immerses you into the world.

Chasing Sunsets is one of the gems on this website its amazing the writing and artwork with its attention to detail is on another level; The renders are gorgeous and the superb writing to go alongside it really does combine to make an awesome combo for a very enjoyable playing experience.

The characters are fantastic, all have unique personalities and personality traits that all help them stand out as individuals in the game no character is alike, and the character designs are gorgeous and you will not find these characters in any other game with their likeness unique and extremely gorgeous.

This is not the typical game you will find on this site, this game has complexity and an amazing layered story that will pull all types of player emotions out of you.

This game is amazing and it deserves all of the love its getting, the Stone fox team deserves alot of praise and love for this masterpiece keep it up, gents.

10/10

Gosh, this game is tough story-wise. The MC does a typical stupid 8 year old thing that lasts for literally two days and this causes the deuteragonist to be hateful, harsh and aggressive towards him for almost 20 years. That would be fine, sure, if she didn't secretly love him the whole time? What the hell. The MC isn't a saint, certainly, but playing through this game I don't want to do the options that give the best results with the girl. I've never had that reaction before playing any game in this format. This is not a criticism - the writing is incredible, and it has made me really detest the deuteragonist.

The story is extremely well-written but the central conceit is so frustrating in the context of an h-game. I'm writing this in the middle of playing chapter 1 and I'm very much hoping that there's a satisfying way to tell Jaye to fuck off at the end of this story road. I'm so engaged with this game that I seriously don't even care if there's any lewd content on the (clearly superior to MC/Jaye) "don't reconcile" path.

I don't know what the dev's perspective and goals were when writing this, but it's very emotionally engaging and I applaud their ability to write an interesting story. Renders are very well-done. The different characters aren't obvious minor adaptations on stock characters. As of the midpoint of chapter 1 (of 3 chapters currently with an epic-length prologue) I have not seen a true animation, though there are several short loops of a set of 3-5 rendered images. The production quality, writing, and engagement are all top tier. I am very excited to see more from this developer and became a supporter despite the way I feel about the focal character of this story.

Ohhh... Step sister, step brother ohhh this is some cliche incest game. If you are thinking like that you are completely wrong. This ain't some cliche incest shit. Game got good story plot. Excellent writing. Good renders,And yeah romancable models. Story is unveiling more through the updates. If you like playing story based adult visual novel games. Don't expect big fuck feast this one is a slowburn. So if you love it go for it.

Great renders and polished models are big pro point of the game. There is some sciene and medical shit going on the game. Some times it's hard to believe this one is a porn game. It gives some cinematic vibes. If you are here only for porn part you may feel disappointed. Well if you are here for story you can enjoy this game

This is a great game, no doubt about it. Graphics are amazing, characters are well fleshed out, dialogues feel natural. The plot though, seems pretty lame at times and most of the drama feels artificial and forced.

Some examples


That said I love the game, I just wished there was a little more thought put into the screenplay, 'cause right now is a dev capable of making amazing visuals, who writes well, makes interesting characters but all these great skills are put into a poor script.

After the credits, I had to jump on and review this one.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. The story is interesting and layered, and really seems to building toward something you can just being to see the shape of.

The girls are lovely and expressive. These aren't cookie-cutter fuck dolls, but are imbued with their own agendas and motivations. The sex scenes aren't super plentiful, but they make sense where they happen in the story.

I won't lie, the game starts off on a bit of a heavy note, but gets much more lighthearted as it progresses. The banter feels natural and engaging to me, and I find myself taking an unusual amount of time for this sort of game to digest each line.

If I had to sum it up in one word, I'd say cinematic. There is quality and setup here that feels truly out of place in the genre....in a very good way for me.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next update, and will be sponsoring this dev going forward. Easily in my top 5 favorites right now!

A 'story-driven porn game'. Starts with a pointless backstory flashback, establishing characters who are dead so won't feature in the story itself.

The PC is your standard porno all-rounder alpha but has 'character flaws' that are some combination of inconsequential, indirectly self-congratulatory, and a product of contrived behaviour or circumstances.

Example: 12/13 y o discovers sis is getting bullied by peers for being too close to him, and his first solution is to just start alienating her with no explanation/prelude in order to get her to be sociable? WAT. Not only is it not a believable thing for a teen kid to think up as a remedy for that situation, it's just a terrible idea in and of itself. His parents however think it's a precociously brilliant idea and urge him on. WAAAAT?!! To top it all off that incident is immediately played off as not a big deal, when in real life terms it's a stupidly callous and cruel thing to do.

Just goes on like this for however long it takes to finish the content without skipping. The sis despises the PC, while also madly in love with him which makes her hate him even more. She's so thirsty for him, mere physical contact during a fight makes her cum, and surprisingly that doesn't make her mad (because it'd be femdommy...?) Through all this, neither of them tries to reconcile or just talk. The story's explanation for this is 'love and hate are intertwined'. Thanks Schopenhauer! However, actual humans don't process emotions like variables in code. Circumstances change, negative feelings burn out, close friends/family/lovers mutually reach out after a while... there are any number of reasons for them not to be mad but the plot demands otherwise. Or I should say, the fetish of hot psycho sis demands otherwise.

Meanwhile the parents are bafflingly absent in all of this. Btw the stepsis seems to be cool with the parents even though they were basically responsible for the thing that made her mad.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not to mention, MAYBE CALL FROM ANOTHER FUCKING NUMBER YOU INSUFFERABLE BRATS?

I've ranted enough. Basically it's all a setup for a 'destiny wants us to be together despite everything' type romance. Just the execution misfires at every step. They reconcile in the end with the right choices, and then a generic corporate espionage plot happens which I didn't care for.

Renders are 3-4/5, only saw 1 animation of close-up dick/cunt action. H-scenes didn't do much for me.

v0.4a

The pace was slow, I didn't really like any of the characters, and I found the plot dull. It might just be me, other folks seem to enjoy it. but I felt like it needed something to grab my attention and it didn't have that.

This game is hard to sum up in a few words. It looks great, no doubt about that! But the thing that really made this game stand out to me was the writing. The story is great and the dialogue feels natural. It made me feel all these emotions and stuff, even though I just came here for pretty renders. I've rarely been this happy to not get what I expected. I'm so fucking invested now, the wait for further chapters will be agony! I can't recommend trying this game enough. Don't expect lots of quick and easy lewd scenes though. They exist and they're good, but this game tells an actual story, and the scenes come when they make sense. Even if that would usually be a reason for you not to try a game though, I urge you to reconsider for this one. Trust me, it's worth it!

not that this game needs my review, i felt compelled to give it anyway. the renders are exquisite and the story is unique and quite good. language is on point as well. there are even very nice touches, such as the diary reenactment scene where you can switch between the actual girl and the one imagined. I loved this, especially since i am not a fan of a first sexual experience with someone being in a dream or the like. anyway, 5 stars for me, great work. i wish i could afford to support this game.

One of the few VNs I still play these days. Chasing Sunsets has some of the best writing and art out there for an adult visual novel. The balance between fantasy and seriousness is really well done and the character development between LIs are satisfying. One of the few VNs pushing the envelope and I can't wait to see where the story goes next.

This is one of my perennial favorites. It's not a porn game per se, it's more of a story with porn elements. That's not a bad thing for my tastes by any means.

The story and character build-up takes center stage here and everything is so intricately interwoven, I'm honestly not sure what's a hint for future content and what's a red herring.

The girls are somewhat limited compared to many competing games, but again, it's not a bad thing. The girls that are here are hot, interesting, and very fleshed out. I legitimately look forward to the relationship with each of them escalating.

The art is really a cut above what can generally be expected on this site. While animations are lacking, nearly every line of dialogue has its own render and facial expression. I don't see that very often, and it makes the style of this VN more cinematic than I'm accustomed to.

The writing feels organic and consistent for each of the characters, and there's a fair amount of drama, angst, and humor thrown in to really balance the game out.

The sexual content is kind of hard to categorize. The scenes aren't as frequent or as graphic as they can be in some games, but they're definitely layered and thoughtful.

Spending some time on the devs' Discord has been illuminating. I rarely see devs as engaged with their fans as these guys are. I hope that doesn't change as they increase in popularity.

My only fear is as the story becomes more intricate that it may be difficult to scale or tie up all of the loose ends, but I haven't seen any signs so far that they've lost control of the narrative.

Definitely one of my favorite games. This is a case where I quite literally came for the porn and stayed for the story. I can't wait to see how this shakes out!

I'm honestly ticked off i didnt play this sooner. very well written, will make you feel, step sister is a 10 forsure, and visuals are outstanding. It's basically a movie, thats how high quality this is.

I can't wait for chapter 4!

Chasing Sunsets has rapidly become one of my favorite VNs on this site. The MC is easy to identify with and I enjoy putting myself into his shoes, especially during his period as an adventurer/aimless wanderer. The girls in the game are all very attractive and they each have a unique characterization. They aren't cookie-cutter personalities plastered onto different DAZ renders as is the case with the weaker VNs offered on this site. The dev updates in a timely fashion and each chapter has a good amount of content. This is a game that you should play/support if you can. Definitely in my top five.

A well-written story about reconciliation. Renders are great altough I must point out sometimes Jaye eyes are too bright (or maybe it's intentional? idk). It's a well paced slice of life slash drama, nothing over the top except for some stuff with David. 9/10.

Definitely one of my top five VN's.
The story is well written, the characters feel as reals as possible, each with it's own personality, especially Mallory and Jaye are both lovely ( it's a tough choice to prefer one over the other), the dev's did a great job in forging them.
The MC is really good with his flaw and strong point it's easy to look through his eyes and be immerse in the games, and the side character are on par with the rest.
Very good renderings, body proportions well done and believable, the right amount of sad and good moments make this game really enjoyable. definitely worth to play.
A tad bit of critique

Chasing Sunsets is easily top 5 sweetest VN on this site. Story about two step siblings who were in love all this time but can't even tell each other how they felt due to circumstances? Count me in.

Renders are great, excellent characterizations, clever writing. Malory and Jaye are both super likable yet has different personality. When you read Stone Fox patreon page description where one of the dev said he's been reverse engineering popular VNs to find out what makes them compelling, you can't help but notice which VNs they are talking about. It's influenced by many popular works and yet it still managed to be unique.

One small nitpick: That scene with David in Syria? Libya? felt really out of place and kinda broke immersion

Wow, this game is really good! For me, it's easily top 5 on this site. Interesting and beautiful characters, good writing and story. There's really not that much in the way of sex content but the buildup feels worth it imo. One negative thing is that I'd feel like shit having to choose between one of these two girls. I mean I know who i'd choose already but yeah, it wouldn't be fun.

I am loving this VN so far, for some reason i had bypassed it on a number of occasions and now i have played it i realise it was a big mistake.

it got a very good mix of dark drama and laughs, the renders are stunning and the story is very good. this gets added to my "cant wait for the next update list"

I like the pictures and the storyline. Lot's of details in the picture. The story is quite emotional and I feel with the "actors". Hope everything goes well with all of them. However I only tried the path where the siblings work together, don't like the fighting approach of the other path.
