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

If you're looking for a quick fap, move on!
If you like a good solid story (so far to the end of chapter 2, version 0.3), then you may be in the right place. It is a slow burner, but there are a few scenes here and there to keep you going.
The models used are all top notch and the rendering is excellent, the male lead is also good without looking like a moron or a creep.
For a 1st effort this is fantastic, almost to the point of disbelief. It feels like the producers have been hiding their lights under a bushel.
One other review mentioned animation during the lewd scenes. There are the odd bits, but more would be better... hey I'm greedy.
My only thing is that this has been tagged incest, when it isn't in the US (which seems to be the consideration for this tag... for only Paypal knows why) and could well get them thrown off Patreon. Sorry, I know these details as I've written a story original published as incest and then after a bunch of research edited it to move to the same side of the line as Chasing Sunsets sits on. Now go to Spain or Japan... I'll stop now
Best of luck to the devs.

A rare mix of gorgeous assets, interesting characters and a really well written story that makes you want to her more. I have played a lot of visual novels but there are only a select few that make me want to become a Patreon after the first time playing. I really hope they can keep this up because I desperately want to know where the story goes next...

One of the best games in its class. Intriguing story, lively characters, very nice graphic realization. Definitely in my top 3. There is only one flaw - 3-month update waiting time. But... good things can`t be made fast... )) So praise to the game`s creators!!! Waiting for another part of this story.

[As of v0.3]

The Good:
- Intriguing story
- Good Rendering
- Girls are nice

The Bad:
- Lewd scenes could add some animation

Conclusion:
Game with high potential, can't wait for the next update.
4.5/5

Ive never written a review before but i had to for this. The story is amazing it irritated me that I couldnt keep on reading when the chapter ended. The renders are beautiful, Jaye is one of if not the most attractive love interest I have ever seen. Don't think twice about playing this....Amazing

I really cannot believe how well made this is. Original and engaging story, layered characters, INCREDIBLE renders (seriously, probably the best art I've seen on this site.) That scene in Chapter 2 ... has to be one of the hottest scenes I've seen in any adult game. Really, really looking forward to the next chapter.

Story guy....

Well...from the renders... didn't seem like story type of VN:

I'm a sucker for a good story and I found amazing one with:

• Amazing writing
• Amazing characters
• Amazing renders and animations
• Well thought out development and pace of the story and the overall flow
• The story starts with proper amount of mistakes (like every teen does)...and after that MC develops into a really interesting piece..

Heavy story and amazing start... I just hope it's gonna have a mostly good ending (endings).
Amazing Game <3

One of the more engaging, and original VN's I've seen. Actually makes you look interested in the story, rather than just the fap material. It also helps that most of the characters aren't just carbon copy look alikes from other games, especially the main girl, Jaye. I can easily say this is in my top 5 games on here, for sure.

Prologue - Chapter 2

What an amazing and emotional story... this VN is superbly written, looks fabulous, has more details and twists than you could shake a stick at, and the story is inspirational. WOW. The way the authors relate each new sub-plot with more depth of character for the main players is remarkable. I really love how you discover secrets with the flashbacks and these secrets are unveiled with an unexpected brilliance. The plot thickens, is believable and complex, and delivered with a clarity and credibility that makes CHASING SUNSETS an outstanding and magnificent VN. Thanks!

I would like to thank Dev for the good renders and a nice flowing story. I felt like I was watching a real movie. Dev's great work on every detail such as hair, eyes and mimics are marvelous. Before downloading for the first time I was curious for the four and a half stars votes that the game received from the player but when I started to play I realized that the 4 and a half is not this game's share it should be complete 5 not less. My comments or litlle advices to Dev will be about dialogues and the size of the scripts. Dialogues are too long to read and boring so could be shorten a bit and the letters on the screen are too small to read (may be it s me having sight problem ) but any way good job hope you keep it up and release the update sooner..

i remember i liked this game, previous version. for some reason, I took a short note so I remember when the new version comes out. and now here it is.
Funny thing is that when I tried to load the old save, a error message pops up asking me whether I quit or ignore. just had to start from the beginning. dunno why this happens if anyone knows please help. thx

Came for the porn, came for the porn, AND stayed for the story

PROS
+ penned by a proper writer; short but meaningful sentences, a pleasure to read.
+ Good balance between character development and plot
+ Natural dialogue.
+ Story is ambitious, but somehow seems plausible. Again, kudos to the writer.
+ Renders are great; faces are slightly asymmetrical which dampens the 'uncanny valley' effect
+ Facial expressions are expressive [especially Erika] way beyond DAZ standard

CONS
- Maybe the storytelling jumps in time a little too much, nothing serious.
- Not much in the animation front, but you won't miss it that much: sex scenes are steamy hot

Chasing Sunsets [v0.3] [Stone Fox Studios]

This is a good game in technical terms, the renders look great, it tries to focus on the story (even if its kind of cliche) and I appreciated the musical score. The dev is talented and for that I give them props. The sex scenes are kind of short and secondary to the rest of the game (I'd prefer if they were longer or had more animations). Its basically another romantic style chick flick VN where the MC is a sensitive "nice guy" (SIMP LORD) but has the body of a Chad (Alpha Douche) and all the girls (even the ones you haven't met) send nudes to your phone and want to fuck you for no reason. The game rewards you points for being submissive and going along with whatever the girls want and acting like a "gentleman" (sort of). There even is an achievement called "White Knight" (I LOL hard at that). Also at the end of the each chapter you have a Telltale games style overview brief of your "choices" telling you where you stand with the girls. Anyways, its definitely not my style of game (Feels over lewds) but I've noticed these types of games are getting massive ratings in F95 lately (almost no judgment, you like what you like I guess) so I am guessing its going to do very well. Very nice game, but I can't fap to this.
4/5

11/10

Art looks reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally good, story looks good, hope devs are saving animations for later as for now (v0.3) there are none bar few simple ones

This review only covers the game through chapter 2.

Pros: Great renders, different setting, some interesting characters that you'll either love or hate (or love to hate), and some choices (mostly dialogue). The developers have a story they want to tell which limits how much they will allow the players to make impactful choices.

Cons: No meaningful story altering decisions to make so far, an unnecessary achievement system, and, as of the end of chapter 2 the entire game is built around two love interests (the stepsister being the one the developer's are focusing most of the content on), and a subplot about the family company. I feel the game is currently too linear and forces the MC to reconcile too quickly with the stepsister. As it stands right now Mallory feels like a consolation prize for those who don't like Jaye. YMMV


As of this release the choices in the game come in mostly two flavors:

1) Dialogue choices that influence whether Jaye or Mallory loves/trusts the MC.

2) Whether the MC fucks one of two women at a Ski resort in Aspen, CO.


Unfortunately the player has no input into who the MC has sex with other than the ski resort MILF or virgin, this includes two of the three available sex scenes the MC participates in (they also just happen and don't ask for any player input). This adds to the feeling that the player is having a story told to them instead of experiencing a "choose your own adventure" type of game where the player is "immersed" in the narrative. This is in large part due to the extensive use of flashbacks to tell the story resulting in everything feeling predetermined - such as cuckolding the ski resort owner/friend.

In addition, though the setting is different, a ship docked at an "island paradise", that setting is a constraint which limits the potential for the narrative to expand and to bring in more love interests, if you don't like either of the two currently available within the game then there's nothing here for the player. One can only hope that the time on the yacht is merely an interlude and the story will not dwell too long there. That seems unlikely due to the MC and Jaye being required to complete "tasks" for the family lawyer, George, in order to prove that they are worthy enough to run the pharmaceutical company that their mother owned.

As I stated previously there are only two love interests or "paths through the woods" of this game and, so far, neither of them stands out as a great choice - Jaye is an incredibly jealous and controlling individual who can't seem to handle basic human interactions and Mallory is the "broken" girl that was never loved by anyone and believes she is ugly because of her heterochromia. Everyone else, including two of the women the MC has sex with, are unavailable as love interests - Tara the sister's best friend and "therapeutic" fuck buddy and Fiona - the crazy Italian woman that the MC fucks at the end of the prologue. Though the MC is still in contact with both of them it is made very clear that the sex with Tara was a one time thing, a "Hail Mary", and that Fiona is a sex crazed stalker who breaks into the MC's villa and humps his pillow.

As to the subplot and the tasks that the MC and Jaye will need to complete this update never gets to them, instead Mallory is quickly able to figure out something really important which will surely cause further delay and drama. In the end I don't see how the MC would be the appropriate candidate for taking over the mother's business since he responds to stress by running away. At least Jaye has pursued a degree in medicine and could conceivably have some idea what the mom was doing with her company and research. The MC bummed around the world with a veteran and learned "street" or survival skills, in the long run not the best knowledge base for running a pharma company.

The game has promise but needs to allow the player more choice and provide more options for it to be a truly great game. It currently occupies the landscape of having too many choices to be considered a kinetic novel and not enough choices to make a player feel like they are "part of" the story.

I just have to Vote, Intro and Ch1 are just to good to not draw some more attention to this stunning work.

As this is just the beginning of a long journey, i hope they could keep the high quality work they provided so far...
...scrap that, just threw in some low res art and tell the story ... can't wait

Never thought a lewd game could be like that. Amazing storyline so far colud even be movie script quality. Excelent work with the visual section. Really thumbs up for the effort, can't wait to see how the story unfolds further.

Cette VN atteint et même dépasse le niveau des meilleures VN de F95. Tout est parfait : les personnages, le déroulement de l'histoire, les rendus, les animations. L'attente des futures mise à jour est un supplice chinois !

This NV reaches and even exceeds the level of the best NVs of F95. Everything is perfect: the characters, the unfolding of the story, the renderings, the animations. The wait for future updates is Chinese torture!

if you embrak on this yourney, you'll never be the same. This is a story about love, emotional growth, traumas and wrong decisions...
This is a typical case of the player having choices that make sense from a gameplay perspective, but to an attentive reader those are bad choices, and we can only mitigate the damage in the hopes that someday the two main characters, Alex (MC's default name) and Jaye, will finally accept eachother's love. In the meanwhile we're up for an emotional rollercoaster. I didn't sign up for this tearker, but I'll stick till the end t experience the masterfully crafted story, characters and dialogues. Cliche elements have been turned into something fresh and unexpected and choices finally have meaning and aren't there just to make a VN out of a kinetic novel.
Renders... oh boi oh boi... this is where the game really shines! Each render carries the weight ofemotions described by the text, and some that are only deducible by what the player knows of the characters. Lights, colors, contrast all dance on skillfully posed assets to create renders you just could look at for hours. (expecially Jaye's perfectly shaped and toned body)

I understand this might sound like a fanboy's review, but in reality this is the most objective and critical opinion I ever expressed.

The story captivated me from the start. Relatable decisions made by the characters even if they arent "opitimal". The art is just gorgeous. Some of the best renders out there. A compelling story with choices that actually matter. All in all its in my top 5 of AVNS.
