VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Chasing Sunsets [v1.01] [Stone Fox Studios]

I was captivated. It is tiring to read so many "Wham Bam, thank you, ma'am" stories. I find myself just clicking to get to some other part of many stories in hopes of finding an actual story. This has to be hands down my favorite story I have read on this site. I would have paid money to read this book and would still be reading it at this very moment. When it ended I was left wanting more.

I appreciate your work and the progress of this story. My only hope is it will not take 392 days for the next update.

Review for v0.2

This one is a hidden gem.I was completely surprised by it which usually doesn't happen nowadays

Pros :
1) Top notch emotional story in which you can lose yourself in being a part of it
2) Top notch realistic characters which seem very much alive (hell,even better)
3) Top notch models and sceneries
4) Quite long for v0.2 which is still not enough for me (I want more,hehe)
5) Top notch sounds and music which fits the scenery
7) Top notch animation and basically top notch everything

Honourable mention:I haven't fully experience the choice system but so far I find it pretty amazing

Cons:
Not a damn thing which is quite rare

I would have given this game five stars if the animations were slightly better. That being said the story is excellent the images are excellent and I am left wanting more. I am very interested in seeing where this story goes.







Would recommend 100%

I don't recall ever having felt goosebumps as quickly as I just had when starting a game.

It's beautifully written, scripted, and rendered and just an overall great game. There's more than enough content to keep us engaged/intrigued but still manages to balance it out with surprisingly poignant moments

It has all the traits and makings of a true future classic

Beautiful, characters are real, complex, humour, twists, art work is superb, setting and themes keep changing to suit. And the characters shift - as in real life - just like Han Solo! Literary, sophisticated, doesn't insult either the characters' or viewers' intelligence. Frankly, this looks better at this stage than any other visual novel/game I cannot mention .

I have to say, I was disappointed when the chapter ended. It was the story and the characters and the positivity I got hooked by, set within a world where people are human and life happens to us - good and bad - as much or more than we make our own reality. And I love that there is always room to grow, and love, and grieve and be redeemed.

Kudos to you two. A philosophical erotic novel. The makings of a true classic.

I really enjoyed this one so far! The writing is very well done, and the renders of the women are excellent. There are enough choices, and the choices make sense, and do affect the direction of the story. I look forward to further updates.

wow im really excited for this one. models are top quality and good story. Awesome start too. Its nice getting a decent sized "prologue" to really get into the MC's story and background! Not sure if i trust Mallory yet or not, or George for that matter.

One of the best starts to a game on here. Exceptionally written. MC and LIs are getting developed and have some mystery. Visuals and animations are great quality as well. Others have mentioned relatively few choices but it makes sense for early chapters when developing the main characters. Only choice wish I had was whether to be with Fiona or not. I’d rather error on too few choices though than too many—that seems when games tend to go off the rails because they can’t account for everything.

Minor Cons: MC is a little stupid/immature and that makes sense for the flashbacks, but present day, I hope he and his stepsis would grow from past mistakes and mature a little more. The only real fault I find is a fairly common one in that every girl that meets MC wants to bang him. One or two one night stands to give the audience some fappable scenes is fine, but unless there’s some mystery dna/superpower we’ll find out later (and that is overdone too so hopefully not), it just is too unrealistic in a game that seems to be striving for quality storytelling. At least the LIs appear to be more slow/natural in developing. I'd honestly give this 4.5 stars due to these issues but rather go with 5 than 4 since this game ranks up there close to PhillyGames stuff.

What to say about this? I'm not used to review too much, as most of the times you base your post on what you like so you tend to be not as objective as you should be.
Story is solid, the dev knows how to tell it, I liked the flashbacks and they helped a lot through the prologue, making it not boring.
Proceeding it makes you wonder what happened and what will be, not giving you the idea of what to expect.
That's what I call a good writing, when you just can elaborate theories not being sure of what to expect.
You slowly enter the inner part of characters, I bet there will be more insights on them.
Renders are really good, well above the average, and animations too (if you played it don't think about sex scenes just about the phone on the floor after falling, if you are going to play it check it out this moment and you'll get what I mean).
So far, I rate it 5 stars.

This is probably the most well-written and compelling new story I have seen in a long time. Great approach to the prologue with the bar conversation. Excellent renders, characters are familiar models but done in a way that makes them a bit unique, and the angles and dialogue give them their own flair. Although some themes are overused in this genre, and the sex scenes develop rather quickly, it is much better than simple fap material, and the kinks feel real, with potential long-term consequences.
There is one kiss that I think the MC should be able to choose how to respond, and there are not a whole lot of choices available yet, but I found that I didn't need much more. Super excited for this dev and story to progress.

Well written and engaging plot with a nice graphic and very likeable characters, very promising start! The only thing we can wish is the more often updates but still it is definitely worth your time to try it though it's in early version. Endorsed!

I am just in awe of this first chapter. The renders, the models, the amazing story simply blew my mind. It is all immensely well implemented with the just the right amount heartbreak, laughter and quite frankly sex appeal. I am so going to keep looking out for this and future endeavors

I guess it's little bit too early for full review but this game looks very good so far. Starting with quality of renders which is very good, could say on the highest segment of the genre. But the biggest point of this game is story and most definetely story telling, which is simply amazing. I love how there is a retrospective combined with multiple timelines and points of view. Plot seems very interesting as well eventhough the game is in early development. My summary is: if the devs keep doing so damn good job, this game has good cards to be one of the best in the genre in my opinion. Totally recommand as this version so far as keep looking after this game in the future. 9/10. [v0.2].

Chasing Sunsets showcases extreme attention to detail, dedication to production quality and storytelling, rarely seen among other games of its kind.

With an intricate story, compelling and realistic cast of characters and outstanding art, the game can hopefully propel the genre forward.

I can wholeheartedly suggest the game to everyone wishing to immerse themselves in a well-crafted and realistic experience.

So far I can tell this game has an excellent graphic and nice plot. I do love the guest npc star and most of all I do like the atmosphere of the game. I am looking forward to see soon more updates. I give this game 5 of 5 stars.

Let's all be honest. We come to this site looking for "models" that catch our eye for a good fap during one of the sex scenes. Sometimes we stumble upon a game that captivates us with a story. This is definitely one of those games even after only 2 updates (v0.2 at the time of writing this.) The game has the "eye-catching models" and an incredible storyline that will keep me coming back on day 1 of every new release. Will happily say after finishing this last update, I cannot wait for the next. Well done Stone Fox Studios.

What a delightful surprise. I actually like the MC. I feel the emotions that are tearing through the scenes. For the first outing cranking 1.6GB of quality is very impressive. This has easily developed into one of my favorites, I mean this when I say it, other than a few typos and or word tense issues this is far better written than most on here could put out. The rules will not let me call one out that does not deserve the following it has, which is too bad, but what I am talking about will be no surprise to anyone who reads my posts, but I sincerely believe this is a better first chapter than the first work of 99% of the games on here. I hope you get a huge following, as you are far more deserving than most. I place your work as being in my new top 5. The STORY and the MC are what I look for in a novel, so I can lose myself in their story, and your first chapter is definitely heading in the right direction!

Well done!
Peace

An outstanding start to this story with fantastic graphics and gorgeous ladies. Sis is a real redhead with her fiery attitude and there are many other characters to enjoy as well. This is one to get. Support the dev if you can as this is really a worthy effort!!!!

I was stunned to hear that this is the first game from these developers. The writing is on point, the renders are beautiful, and I'm genuinely excited for the story to continue past the prologue. And what a story it is: it feels true, like it could be a story some guy you just met in a bar tells you. Which, considering the prologue's setting, makes a great deal of sense.

I am happily waiting for the next update, and I'd wouldn't be shocked if it was even better than what we've already seen.

This is, hands down, the best prologue that I've played so far. It did it's job of providing an interesting background, while hooking me into the story. That is why, unlike others, I don't really mind the lack of choice, as it sets the scene very well with memories from the MC's past.
The size of it was also good enough not to leave me disappointed by lack of content.

I'm looking forward to the future of this game. Good luck, dev team!
