VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Leap of Faith [Ch. 8 v1.0.3] [DriftyGames]

The game addresses problematic and social issues such as depression and suicide while delighting us with an erotic and engaging story.
The characters are not empty, on the contrary, they all have a depth that makes them even more interesting and that spices up the relationships between them.

One of the best! It is for sure on my best five! Excellent renders and the story is breathtaking! Characters are intriguing and well designed. My favourite is Cece she's the best among female Characters. Hope to read new release soon!

A very nice and sexy story indeed! The graphics and animations are very good. And the sense of humor has been made well! DriftyGames made a good work here. I hope that the next chapter will be made as well as the 7 chapters i played through.

Woah this game... I have quite a few things to say so stick with me for a bit. I had to wait for a couple of days to collect my thoughts and feelings after completing Episode 7 in order to write my review because everything was just too much. If we just get down to it, this is one of the best written and emotional stories I've read in any of the AVNs I've played so far if not the best. Frankly I have said the exact same thing for one more game which is DPC's first game (don't know if I'm allowed to drop the title) and I honestly feel now that Leap of Faith might take the cake for me (no pun intended). The story WILL make you cry and grieve and will stick will you for a long time. I will never forget this amazing experience and I can't wait for this beautiful story to be completed. In every other aspect this game is incredible and well crafted. Renders are stunning, models are beautiful, animations are swift and smooth, the sceneries are majestic and there is a rich collection of soundtracks and songs. Overall, a 10/10 Masterpiece made with tons of heart and love!

P.S. I am so sorry for your loss Dev. You're inspirational and your work speaks volumes to many people. You are a great person and a wonderful dad and I'm sure she loved you very much and is watching you right now being proud!

Great story so far,looking forward to more. This the first game i played on this type of game,incredible game. Can't wait to play 7.0 I hope i'm not disappointed like other games. Love to see active dev and a active game.

unequivocally the best ren'py game ive ever played, the story, the characters, and of couse the lewds were all just magnificent, honestly just came for the lewds but the story was just so moving i had to stay

Great story, solid characters and good art. If the game has any flaw it’s that a few of the storylines aren’t as good as the others - I felt like if you ignored both cece and Lexi there wasn’t too much there - or at least not nearly as good as those. Plus cece focuses so much into the story it’s hard to ignore her but a minor flaw in a great game.

I love this game so much, amazing characters, and story. I really enjoy it.
I have already played all the games created by this developer, and they are all very good, but this is by far my favorite.
English its no my first language, sorry if i misspelled something.

Wow. I tried playing this game once before and ended up giving up. But kept hearing about it, so figured I'd try again. I'm so glad I did.

It was laugh out loud funny at parts, and it legit made me cry for practically a whole chapter.

The fap material.... it has some decent scenes, but forget that: focus on the story.

Really masterpiece of truly breathtaking story. It's one of the best Visual Novels that i ever played (and I played a lot, hell really a lot of them). If you really like this kind of games cause of their storyline - this game the treasure that you find. Dev spend a lot of time, sources, efforts, pain and love at the same time in this game, really titanic efforts. I will be brief in this review, because u need to feel everything by yourself.

Story: 6/5
Renders: 4/5
Animations: 4/5
Music: 5/5

Drifty, if you ever read this review, just lemme know you one thing. "You made a trilling story, as it supposed to be. It makes me smile, laugh and even cry. You have a great potential and I will be continue supporting you, in order you continue gift us such stories."

I don't get why this game is getting so much praise for its realism. Seriously, the deus ex machina about the (ex-)girlfriend?! Even Tommy Wiseau could come up with a better one. That totally broke it for me.
Some of the characters were very likeable and others were borderline cliché (lesbian three way anyone?).
Lets just see it for what it is: a lite smut game with above average story and writing. If the game sees completion, I'll give it one more playthrough and try my best to keep my eyes from rolling out of their sockets when that particular plot reveal pops up.
Anyway, the game is getting a lot of love, so the dev is obviously doing lots of things right. Well done.

Everything about this is well-made, but to say that the story is well-written would be an understatement. There is a strong message in this game, and I'm glad it wasn't overshadowed by other aspects of it. I would like to echo the sentiments of other reviews here: even if you took away the H-scenes, this would still earn a 5/5 out of me for what it is and what it represented for me. Well done!

There is something in the game that got me. Maybe it's the best male friend, who is fun and is not there only for the "male presence" in the game; or maybe the girls who are diverse and interesting.

The fact that the game has some music is helping a lot : it gets you in the right mood to play the game. So big point for it.

The "twist" of episode 1 seems easy and predictable, but clichés exist because they work in fiction works so I accept it.

The only "negative" point I have, is that I have the feeling that the game forces me to choose a girl early. I do not mind to have a choice but it feels so soon in the game that i will have to play a lot of playthrough to see a majority of scenes, and i would have loved to have the "big" choice (if that's the one, i'm not sure, because i didn't play much after the end of ch3 for the moment) a bit later, to have more "scenes" before having to replay the game to see others.

Also, I accept the fact that there is no harem story, but I really hope that apart from the Robin/Kira relationship, there will be place for other expansions. Not that it's mandatory, but because I feel the story hinted at least one (Cece&Linda).

Finally I want to say that the Stephanie story was unexpected, and that mystery totally sold me the game : I was really curious before knowing, and knowing, I was under the feeling that the devs know how to tell a good story.

So yeah 5 stars even with the mishap. And seen the number of "average" games I played recently, it's refreshing.

Story 10/10
Graphics 10/10

The choices and options are wonderful and the integration of the phone was a great choice, I can see myself playing this multiple times to get through all the options. I really do have to say one thing to the DEV, "FU for making a 41-year-old guy cry from a porn game"

Damn.

A big warning to you all. IF you are going through some bad shit in your life at the moment, you are depressed or something ... i STRONGLY suggest to NOT play this game !!

I went through some of the things shown in this game, twice. Once for myself and once for someone i cared about so i know what im talking about.
If you are having a bad time and you are emotional at this point in time, please avoid this game.

I tend to rate games based on how much fun i had, how emotional i got and how much i laughed, etc. For me, as an example, animations dont have a big impact on the score ....

I rate this game at 4.5 stars but since we cant have .5s, it gets a bump to 5 stars.
Funny thing is, this game has none of the tags i look for. None and yet it i had a blast playing this.

I laughed out loud (i really like the humor in this, it gets kinda silly at some points but i liked it), i cried (quite a lot actually), i was angry and happy ... This was a fkn awesome ride imo, cant wait to see the finale.

The MC. I liked the MC which is sadly a rare thing among the games on this site so a big bonus to the rating because of it. Oh and no horse dick, always nice to see (or, not to in this case haha).

Animations, i dont really care about them so ... idk, i think there were pretty good?
Writing, quite decent imo.
Story. I liked it. Its a bit dark as it deals with some heavy shit but i really like it.
Renders are great for the most part.
Models are good to great.
Sound, i tend to play these games muted but i did enable sound a few times here and tbh there are parts of this game you MUST have sound enabled to experience the scene fully. For example, when Lexi sings to the group at her mansion ... i fkn loved that. Sure the voice didnt quite match how i would assume Lexi would sound based on her appearance but it was fkn awesome nonetheless

Kinks. There are none as far as i can tell. This is very vanilla.
Content. There is plenty of content.
Lewd scenes are on the low side (i mean there arent that many overall) but this is a game focused more on the story i think. I dont mind it.

I also found the various characters to be different enough from eachother. Everyone had his/her own personality.


ANYWAY, point is, if you want an emotional rollercoaster and a game focused on story with great characters, decent writing, this is the game for you.

PS. Lexi, i love you but Cece is still my number 1, she needs all the love there is.

Best story ever! Omg, I came for the tits, stayed for the sake of Cece. If you would like to have a sit back and relax with all the feelings, try this one for sure. And don't be wrong, H-scenes are still very good tho

I'm giving 3 stars. This game is very....safe? I don't know. I feel like the repercussions for your actions aren't very important.

The quality is great. Scenes are hot. Girls are smoking hot. But the story is kind of forced and odd.

Also, from reading back, the community is extremely anti-ntr. Ravenously so. It appears that dev had to change a scene where sex with someone other than MC was only implied. I'm a big fan of NTR, so if you are big into that then maybe skip this one.

If you like a feel good story, and a relaxed vibe, then this game is great. Just not my cup of tea.

This is a perfect game !!! Nice WORK MAN !!!, i hope you make the final and make anothers game whit this quality. I cry, I lust, love. this multiple feelings working together, crushing to my soul. You are amazing creator! Im sorry so much your lost. I know ho this feelings destroy a soul but dont worry, because whit the time you are more stronge and more brave!

[Ch.7]

Leap of Faith... Where do I even begin with this: honestly, you could remove any trace of adult/sexual scenes and this would still easily be a 5/5 for the story alone.
I was that compelled that once I finished one route I instantly started it again-- and if that isn't the best compliment I can give to a narrative, I don't know what is.

H-scenes
Now, I said this would be amazing without these. But what is there is wonderful.
The animations and statics are simple, yet beautifully done. They only add to the human nature of it

The "worst" complaint you will find is this touches on some very real and darker topics. Still. I cannot stress how masterfully DriftyGames handles it, and honestly does it justice by not shying away from it.

No real kinks to speak of, so skipping that part.

In conclusion: It will tug on your heartstrings, so have the tissues ready: just not for that... Maybe that too

Author note: The soundtrack: perfect.

Game Version Reviewed: 0.7.0c

Absolutely love this game. It’s an emotional roller coaster with lots of big ups and downs. The sex scenes flow well as part of the natural evolution of the story, but the game would thrive on its own without them. Story-wise this game gets an absolute 5/5 rating, and overall, despite the big downs, I still very much enjoyed my time with this game. As far as sex scenes? Maybe a 2.5/5 in terms of quantity and length. As of the time of reviewing I've only gone through the story of one love interest, so I can’t speak to others yet, but what I played felt very well done. However, because this game is very reliant on it’s plot, if what you’re looking for is something more lighthearted, or more raunchy, you may not enjoy it. But, if you're in the mood for a deeper story, then do yourself a favor and download this game. And if you love it as much as I did, Support the developer!
