VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Chasing Sunsets [v1.10a] [Stone Fox Studios]

Not perfect, prolonged, especially prologue but if you push through boredom in some episodes you'll get unforgettable impressions.

Visual and graphics

Not great but very decent. The main LIs have model looks, perfect tan, thx that some other characters looks more like ordinary people even with model bodies.

Animation

Limited, sometimes very simple.

Sound

Same as animations even more limited.

Text, dialogues

Difficult for non-native English speakers, a lot of movie and tv show references but it's a positive property. Characters feel alive, natural, sex talk included.

Gameplay, replayability

It's a simple vn, dating sim with mattered choices. You won't want to replay for other endings during your first walkthough. Very prolonged, using same methods to squeeze your tears, even twice "Luke i'm your father". But after viewing the entire story, you realize that it is a complete work of art with it's own disadvantages. I wanted to watch scenes with other girls and complete few achievements (there are nearly 200 of them).

Conclusion

It turned out that i summed up it in gameplay section. It has interesting, consistent and smooth story evoking a variety of emotions and a great work has been put in this project.

This is hands-down the only visual novel that's ever left me seething with pure, unadulterated fury from start to finish, a rare feat in a medium I've sunk hundreds of hours into. What should have been an engaging escape devolves into an interminable slog of brain-dead, mundane drivel that assaults your patience like a bad fever dream. The dialogue? A nonstop parade of vapid small talk, recycled tropes, and filler conversations that go absolutely nowhere, forcing you to wade through hours of characters spouting the most insipid, personality-free banter imaginable.
Renders are mediocre at best, flat, lifeless, and completely uninspiring.
And the hype? This overrated travesty must be propped up by lonely shut-ins who’ve never had a real conversation, let alone touched a human being.

So, to get it out of the way,, the techical side of the game is perfect.
Excellent renders, models that change poses and face expressions according to what's happening on the screen, fair deal of hot scenes with beautiful animations. steamy sex writing.
On the other hand, once you've progressed far enough, you start to notice that many models share almost the same model, body type, face expressions, and so on.
Gameplay-wise, it's kinda a dating simulator.
MC tries to balance somehow all the potential LIs who are pretty close to throwing themselves at him, and that's not the issue —the issue is the plot; for some reason, the writers decided to add unnecessary arcs.
These tropes would do just fine in a low-budget thriller/action movie, not so sure they were needed here.
Sex scenes are really good, sex itself is closer to pure vanilla, with some light deviations.
Keep in mind, due to the game's nature, it branches quite a lot.
Should you want some specific ending, walkthru is highly recommended, as sometimes choice --> consequnce connection is not clear.

Anyway, great game, highly recommended if you are looking for a long (16h+) game filled with hot babes and steamy situations.
Be ready to make choices tho, its not a fuckfest where you can bang anything that has a pulse and everyone is happy with that.

Hard to find really good games with good story this days.

I was took by surprise as I found this game after it was completed, and what a find it is.

The renders are 5/5, sex scenes, most of them are 5/5, there were some misfires at the start, for some reason Rikkie's face was really off for some reason.

Story was great, I loved the references, although some references, laughed my ass off when I saw Artemis in a web chat discussing female masturbation, that was pure gold comedy there.


There a lot of funny moments in this game, also a few serious moments that almost bring you in tears.

I liked this game, to be honest I didn't expect this high level of quality and it looks like there are still devs out there that care both for the story and for the adult scenes.

I recommend it, it is worth the play.

Awesome. The character drawings, the animation and the story up to the point I've watched it up to now is really great. Yes, some will like to have more lewd scenes in, but this is a novel telling a story in a very good way. Looking forward for the chapters still to come. Will be - assuming it is still in further development - a story to support from my side

Relationships involving incest or pseudo-incest, especially between siblings, are one of the most popular tropes in adult entertainment and one of the best-known taboos. There are many ways to explore this theme, and in my opinion, Chasing Sunsets does a terrific job handling it. The writing involving the three main characters is superb — natural, organic, and instinctive in how it approaches their dynamic. That strong writing extends to most of the game, where the relationships feel rich and well-developed, always giving the MC a believable reason to pursue a girl.
Most of the themes are approached realistically and with care, which keeps you consistently engaged. The balance between heavier exposition and well-timed humor prevents the story from dragging, though the conclusion in the final chapter feels a little too drawn out compared to the rest.
As for the protagonist, this might divide players. Usually, you want an MC you can relate to, which makes the experience more personal. Here, the MC is almost the “perfect man” — skilled, charming, charismatic, and humorous. That might alienate some players, but in my case, it worked. He still has flaws, and the story involving him makes him likable enough to carry the narrative.

The game offers a wide range of meaningful choices that define your path and, more importantly, your ending. You can shape your relationships with both the main girls and side characters, unlocking scenes and achievements along the way. Replayability is very strong, especially for players who want to see all the outcomes.

Visually, Chasing Sunsets shines. The cast of girls is outstanding — the two main love interests are stunning, but every single girl you can interact with is equally well-designed and desirable. On top of that, the environments and locations feel alive and immersive, pulling you deeper into the story. Sex scenes maintain this high quality, with detailed renders and strong character work. The only shift comes in the animations, which carry a slightly different style reminiscent of early-2000s CGI. It’s not a downgrade, though — just a different look, and the quality is still very high.

In short, Chasing Sunsets excels in nearly every aspect — strong writing, engaging characters, meaningful choices with replayability, and consistently gorgeous visuals.


Based on everything:

• Story & Characters → Natural, organic writing with strong character development, though the conclusion drags slightly. 8,5/10.
• Player Choices → Meaningful decisions that shape the story, relationships, and multiple endings. 8,0/10.
• Visuals & Animations → Outstanding character designs and immersive environments, with consistently high-quality scenes. 8,4/10.

Okay! Let's do this. This is one of the best AVNs one can experience.

One thing I will note is that it is... Odd... to see a tanned Ginger. They burn easily and tan badly, typically. Stranger things have happened, though, I am sure.

The first time I picked up this title was when episode 6 had dropped some time ago. It had great promise then so I thought I would wait and see how the Dev avails them-self with the endings and prologue.

So, I have just finished the first full play through, as of this review, and I will be starting afresh shortly to follow a different story path in the game. The Kismet ending was the first one - I thought it only fair as that would, I imagine, be the canonical ending to the story of MC and Jaye.

It is exceedingly well written. The narrative beats are on point. There is little, to no, bloat-ware. The story keeps going at a comfortable pace to keep the reader engaged and not bored. Many AVNs will, needlessly, keep a story convoluted and stretched out to fill space. An AVN does not require to be equal in length to Don Quixote. Chasing Sunsets tells its story and it does it well and at a steady, respectable, pace.

It has moments that will make you ponder, chuckle, sigh, and even shed a tear. Not many AVNs can tick most boxes at once and be original. Chasing Sunsets is one of those stories that you must play and it will sit in the top ten of most AVN enjoyers, and for good reason.

As for the more sexual scenes. Whilst expertly done, I feel like a option to view things from different angles may have been warranted. Or the ability to chose certain positions. Those are the only things I would advocate to make this title even better.

They have hit a home run with this title. It won't be long to see if the Dev was a one hit wonder or not with their new title landing in 2026 onward. We hope it is firmly in the latter!

No pressure!

Interesting story and interesting characters. I was always invested. The models also look great, as do the scenes.

I think making the poly route could have been written to include more content, but I can just make up for that with multiple saves. In any case, this is a great game.

Great story. I never got bored during the playthrough. This game is definitely one of my favorites now. I was so engrossed in the game that I even skipped some sex scenes to get back to the story. I didn't find any downsides to this novel at all.

TL;DR: My main reason to not give it five stars is stupid and stretched story elements and poor job on many of the models and facial expressions (which also often undermines their sex appeal).

★★★★★ Renders quality
★★★★★ Dialogs and humor
★★★★☆ Story
★★★☆☆ Models
★★☆☆☆ Facial expressions
★★★☆☆ Sex scenes

+ The story is large, rich with details and branching, full of emotions. Dialogs are spot-on and full of humor. Characters are interesting and attractive.

- On the other hand, there are many stretches in the story. Many details range from stupid to just nonsensical. The plot elements related to law wouldn't be possible in real world, because it's not how it is. Psychology is often either flawed, or at least not well explained.

Examples (trying to avoid spoilers):

1. If a document is "not finalized", it means it has zero legal power. (As if it wouldn't exist at all). If someone pretends to act on the basis of such non-existent document, especially adding or changing its conditions, it's most likely a felony that no lawyer in their right mind would ever commit.


3. Pharmaceutical research is easier done by privately owned companies, because unlike public ones they don't need to do so much disclosure on what they do. The reason to go public is mainly to expand, i.e. to get investments, which is hardly necessary for a pharmaceutical company which worth went from zero to billions in just 15 years. What would've happened for them to not have huge cash flow? (MC seems to think that to give control over the company to its CEO you need to make it public. What kind of freaked up idea is that?)


5. I won't go into details here, but the resolution of the law drama and the future of the company are just cringeworthy.

+ Characters are attractive, and some of them are kinda beautiful.

- But the sloppy work with models and expressions pretty much kills their visual appeal.

Examples:

1. Jaye has pitch black eyebrows, which (especially combined with not the most natural IMHO hair color) shows that her hair is dyed. To me, it's big way off-putting. And her hair often looks a bit messy, sloppily done. FYI, changing eyebrows' color (in Blender or something) is a matter of a minute or two.

2. Other models are often copies of Jaye (like Lisa, just different coloring) or only minimally changed.

3. Mallory model doesn't really look appealing. The eyes' colors are too saturated, the eyebrows are too V-shaped, etc.

4. Facial expressions are mostly weird (whether you call Mallory's smile stupid or cryptic, it's still a bit weird). When Mallory and Jaye are shown as amused or surprised or something, I bet you never saw that expression in real life, unless that person just shitted their pants.

- Sex scenes could be good, but because of sloppy models and expressions they aren't. Not mentioning that perhaps all tits in the game are saggy.

- PS. Other reviewers also mentioned the lack of sounds sometimes, the cringe scene with extraction of a sick girl through a Vietnam border, instead of more meaningful scenes, etc. Totally agree with them.

All in all, it's a very good and enjoyable game, and I wish the developers to avoid those sad defects and next time create a masterpiece that deserves their talents.

[v1.10a Completed]

Chasing Sunsets is a good game. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not doing anything super great, but it's solid all around.

Step siblings reunited after some years being away, now coopering or competing for their dead parents company. There is actual main plot here, not a bad plot about our parents history, their company and their research. With a court trial on the horizon, we must deal with some legal and moral things and decide the future of our company. There are two main love interests here Jaye and Mallory, and a few side girls. All of them, in one way or another, are connected to the main plot and have smaller or bigger part in it. That's good. We're not getting sidetracked and game doesn't waste our time with unrelvent things. Relationships with those girls, especially the main ones, fell rather authentic and honest. With our sister Jaye is technically easier, we already had some feelings for each other years ago, now its just time to decide whether we rekindle those feelings or bury them forever. The other main girl, which very clearly is not as main as the sister is, is also a fairy interesting character with their own things going on, past dramas and current problems and dilemmas. In general i would say the LIs here are pretty good, even the side ones are definitely nice additions and they add to the overall experience. Some will say that the side girls are even better than the main ones. So yes, we have choices which will determine our relationships with the ladies and what ending will we get. There are few endings and they're ok, nothing too crazy, just ok. I was kinda disappointed by them, but at the other hand not really. Maybe i just had too high expectations. Unfortunately, side girls doesn't get any happy endings. That could be a bit disappointing if someone loves Lisa or Bianca the most. Basically it's if you don't wanna be with a main girls, you'll be alone kind of thing.

Visuals are quite solid, not the best in the world but definitely on above average level. Renders are ok, and models are pretty good. Some of the faces especially look good. Lisa could actually be one of the best looking girls in any porn game. It's a shame she's only a side character and barely has any content. Animations are ok if we're talking about the characters movement during them, but sometimes for me lighting looks off, and thanks to that models look not as good. One or two times i even had problems recognizing the girl. Camera could be also a bit better, most of the time it's just wiggling around. There isn't much animations in the game unfortunately. And, for me, there is just not enough sex scenes. Less than 30 scenes in 15 hours long game is not much isn't it? Only 6 penetration scenes with two main girls, not counting endings. And only one sex scene per ending. Funny enough, just like the game started without any animations during scenes, it also ends without them. Sex scenes in general are not bad, but i only counted maybe 4 that were actually really good. The rest of them varies from average to just good. So i would say the sex content is pretty lackluster. This is definitely not a great fapping material. I was expecting something better. Soundtrack is pretty ok.

Chasing Sunsets is not the best game out there but it's definitely worth playing. I would say the story, dialogues, characters and how the're tied with the main plot, and relationships between them and MC are the best things about this game. Adult part of the game could very well be it's weakest point. Just not enough sex scenes, and very few of the highest quality. So you'll definitely spent more time reading and engaging in whats happening, than fapping. And it's not a bad thing coz the story and writing are pretty good. Overall, it's a quite decent experience.

Not normally the type of game I'm into, but for what it is? The MC isn't a dense moron, the story is completely plausible, and the way situations are handled is completely within reason.

I still cannot figure out if Mallory/Amanda or Mallory/Jaye is the better ending for my MC, which is very good storytelling.

Wow! Just finished, and I'm blown away!

First off, the dialogue is some of the funniest I've seen in much of any fiction I've read in a while, let alone the VNs I've played. Found myself laughing out loud many times. And a lot of the more serous scenes I felt were not overly melodramatic, and often touching without being cheesy.

Secondly, the graphics were easily some of the best I've seen. The characters were very well designed and, for the most part, realistic. Sure, there were a lot of common features, and (maybe I've just never noticed) most women don't have eyes that bright, but they were all very nice to look at. While there were some scenes I wish had been animated that weren't, I never really felt they were diminished greatly by being static. Plus, the animations I did see were much better than almost any other VN I've seen, often longer and more fluid. The only real down-note was one scene with MC and Jaye where the back of her head looked like she was suffering from nuclear fallout, or had shaved everything on the back of her head but the top.

Next is the music: where do you guys find this stuff? Almost every track really amplified the scene it played in, and in a few scenes I caught myself tearing up. I also found myself SHAZAMing over half of it. I'd love a "Chasing Sunsets: The Soundtrack!"

Lastly, I thought the story was pretty well-written. There were a few snags where I felt things didn't really make sense or feel realistic, especially dealing with MC and Jaye's relationship in the past, especially with discovering their parents already knew how they felt, but I became heavily invested in MC and Jaye's relationship after they reunited. By Chapter 4 or 5, I was Jaye all the way.

I know from reading comments here and there that many people will disagree with me on everything I just wrote, and in no way am I saying any of their opinions are not valid from their own perspective. This is just mine. But "Chasing Sunsets" is, hands down, the best VN I've had the pleasure of experiencing! Thank you guys so much for all of the hard work you put into creating this story! It was an amazing job!

This is a nice made Game-Novel.
Graphics are top.
The story is good and intriguing. There is Drama, Love, Crime and Sex of course. The choices matter - even early choices matter at the end.
There are several Endings.

the + :
-Top-tier characters both in aspect and in writing (be it gorgeous MILFS like Lisa or beautiful witty-foxy girls like Mallory), their faces are plentiful expressive too.
-Great writing overall, nice use of humor
-A likeable and attaching MC
-Engaging story
-Good length
-Nice use of music/sounds

the -:
-Wanted more
-Sometimes a little bit hard to follow due to very technical terms employed at times
-Amanda ???

A well-written, compelling story that deals with a lot of big problems and situations, but still manages to make them seem personal and intimate.
The story is placed at the forefront of the game, and the erotic content flows from that, which makes it all the more enjoyable when it does happen.
Well worth a sub on Patreon of a pack buy on Steam.

This game was good overall. Great renders, a solid cast of characters, and a decently engaging storyline that isn’t just a non-stop fuck fest.

That said, I did have a few gripes. Some of the relationship dynamics felt forced, and certain scenes seemed unnecessary or just plain weird. For example, the MC sleeps with the MILF from the cabin at the start, then she completely disappears, leaving you with the sour taste of betraying the husband for no real payoff. It just felt pointless, like a cut plotline.

Also, some side characters got kinda shafted. Bianca and the chef Tanaka, for instance, only got one mediocre scene each. I get that Jaye and Mallory are the main LIs, but the slideshow ending for the side girls made it feel like the devs just rushed to wrap things up.

Still, this is way better than most games out there. But after such a long development time, I wish the devs had given a little more love to all the characters, even the side girls.

Overall this is still an excellent game with many great characters and one of the best on the site but the last quarter of the game and the endings are just extremely weird in terms of choices and pacing.

Tiny spoiler: I got the fusion ending and we get an insane chapter about a uighur child who needs surgery and needs to be trafficked out of china through the forest in vietnam because the authors needed to make some political statement about China being bad completely unrelated to the plot (as well as how much they love the idf for some reason) but instead SEE NOTHING from a character like Tara who is the LI best friend.

The Game has an exelent story.
Very good worked out charcters, not just puppets.
Very good grafics and animations
I like the idea and whole setup. Most importantly the Story catched me. The start has it lentgths took some time to get catched.

Yep, this is the bomb. One of those rare AVN's that others are compared to. It's got hot LI's, humorous, sharp dialogue, and a bang on story about genetic hijinks. It's got it all! Seriously, if you're looking for an AVN that's worth your time -- this is definitely IT. Thank you, devs.
ps -- previous 1-star review obviously has lesbian issues (minimal even!), and has skewed the ratings. Other than that, we've got a 5-star here!
