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

I am gobsmacked by the superb quality and attention to detail in this visual novel. The emotional hooks put down by the writer of this incredible story are well placed and cleverly constructed. I cannot remember being this engaged by a VN in quite some time. My congratulations and thanks to the author, artists, and development team for this fine production.

• Story - excellent. Well crafted, intricate, not obvious, but not artificially complex. Emotions are real and believable.
• Artwork - excellent. Artist has a great eye for dramatic posing, facial expressions, setting, mood, and lighting
• Characters - excellent. Very likable, realistic, and compelling.
• Animation - very good. I am splitting hairs here, but some animation is a bit choppy. During one sex scene, for example, only a tiny portion of the vulva is moving, the rest of the girl's body is frozen. I do realize the incredible effort it takes to recreate human movement faithfully, so this is a very minor point.

This is a thinking person's story, but not at all boring or pretentious. Prepare to be amazed. I certainly was.

Headed to Patreon now to pay my respects and become a supporter.

What an incredibly work of render, this developer did an amazing job on the first release on 0.1 and this only just getting started.

- Storyline are is good.
- Render quality is on point.
- Characters look amazing.

I'm still on my path, playing it and I don't wanna spoil anything right now. I'll be reviewing again.
The writing so far is solid, as far given the current amount of content right now and looking forward to this VN.

Good job and props to the developer.

Decent start, story feels somewhat realistic and there is a good amount of emotion evident through the text. The game makes you feel for the characters and people are more than just pretty faces.

For a first release, the game is pretty impressive. It's not perfect, some renders are not as clean as top tier games and the animations were pretty underwhelming. The dialogue is pretty good although I'd say it's overwritten. The story could have easily been condensed in far less words while still offering the same impact.

Anyways, the game isn't a 5 star one just yet but given some love and some time it definitely can be. Try this one.

For being it's first release this game has serious potential. Great renders and even a few animations. Only thing I didn't like was the text seemed pretty small. I can't wait to see where this game ends up.
