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

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!

It's like you watch a movie. I'm a french Canadian and English are not my first language. But the script and the story are so well written ... that I can stop playing. I did the Chapt. 1 to 7 in a week, +- 5h a day.

Can't wait for the chapter 8

Played this a while ago, but recently made an f95 account and figured I should show my support any way possible. LoF is one of the best adult games out there. The story is beautiful, sad, and funny all at the same time. I would do absolutely anything to help Cece. The music is phenomenal and goes great with the scenes. Can't wait to see how it ends!

Excellent story, characters are really well written with a lot of depth to them, renders are really good, one of the best game out there, can't wait to see how the author is going to end this wonderful story!

Top notch game. The incorporation of music in a unique way to the story line makes for an engaging visual novel. There are great moments of humor, sadness, kindness, and love. You can find a girl that fits just about any kind of personality you like, each with unique experiences, and there are multiple ways to play. The models are all sexy, the characters are mostly believable, the animations are some of the best around, and as I said, the music is terrific and uniquely used. Definitely 5 stars.

(This could be released without any sex scenes and would still be completely worth playing. The story is that compelling.)

Played on the latest version as of now, which is Chapter 7. 5/5
TLDR : If the devil is in the details, Lucifer itself made this game. Attention to details (both art-wise and story wise) make for one of the best games on this website. A touching story that will make you cry if you dare follow it, and more romances than expected to follow and get your sex/love fix from. Cece best girl.
Warning : As the author warns a few times, if you are going through a rough time, emotionally, spare yourself the pain that you will DEFINITELY get from this game. Or don't forget to take breaks if it becomes too much.

I played my first and only meaningful playthrough rooting for Cece, and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the need to give her the love she deserves. This, without knowing about what happens at the end of one of the latest chapters. I genuinely felt ran over by a truck.

Why? For a few reasons :
The story is touching. Truly, wonderfully written, with always this soft balance between humor and seriousness. It tells the story of this group of people who just want to enjoy their life together, after so many years apart. It tells a story that only few should be able to relate to, yet one many of us may or may not have gone through.
Mixing a relatable story with a fine writting and a loving, caring and carefully written scenario gives you a gem, one that only a few games can match on this website, yet one that no other game has managed to express as well. Finally, I don't remember any big grammar mistakes, perhaps a few typo but I may be confusing it with another game.

The art is honestly very great. It's not at the same peak as some other Ren'Py games, but it's ahead of many of the hundreds of games that are available here. And the fact that parts of the game are actual scenes, rather than static images, gives it a charm of its own. Yes, it isn't the smoothest animation of the decade. But it fits the game : a burn that, while not slow, takes the time needed to move forward, and isn't scared of advancing without showing you every little details : only the meaningful ones, that keep it story or romance driven. The attention to details is, to a casual player like me, astonishing. You can read characters from their body movements, the hesitation, fear or joy that they feel. And unlike many games, it does not hesitate to show a whole new render where only a shoulder was moved, or a finger followed a rhythm.

The musics are VERY well chosen, and always help convey the feelings that the scenes want you to get. The possibility to check, through your in-game phone, what music is playing (both lore-wise and real life wise) is really nice.

Finally, the story is currently divided into 7 fully fleshed chapters. While it may not mean much content for many games, this one has been running for almost two years. With more than 19 000 renders, it takes a bunch of time to actually get them all. Note that the story itself, in one go, will take you through about 10000 renders, leaving the difference for all the other romance paths and consequences of your choices.

I don't know how much Cece represents who the author wants her to. But the game conveys how much love they had for her, and how painful it is, to undergo what one should never have to. It hurts. It genuinely hurts the way only love can.

The most impactful story in the genre.

It really hits, with excellent character development and moments. But be prepared to feel things. A very serious exploration of an important topic that is close to the developer. Quite a few scenes which are very emotional, but in a positive way. Everything is supported by great writing, and good comedic sections.

Remove all of the erotic sections and the game stands on its own. That's not to discount that part - animations are above average, with a couple of standouts, and the situations are believable. I'd say the focus here is not on those scenes, which are used to support rather than drive the story.

Great character models without insane exaggeration of features, overall great quality renders, along with a few that are particularly well done.

Nothing super special in terms of mechanics, but capturing specific parts with the phone camera was actually quite a nice touch.

Must also be mentioned that the music is particularly well chosen.

I found this today and HOLY SHIT!!! I absolutely love it!

Lemme start with a thank you to Drifty, you are an absolute genius.
I've played several of 'these' games before, but NOTHING comes close.
I came into this after looking for that next game that has good renders and enough of a story that I could 'enjoy'... if you know what I mean

But fuck my tits. This game is not what I expected and by far the best story I've ever seen. My first play-through I went Cece all the way and MY GOD. If it's your first time playing, please go with Cece for the first play-through. If you're like me and you like to 'form a connection' with the characters you're perusing, Cece will hit you hard. Now I won't spoil too much but her storyline hit close to home with things that have happened in my real life with my childhood best friend. Things turn out better for her than my personal story, but FUCK... chapter 6 and 7. That's all imma say about that.

I've never experienced something quite like this before. Full aroused one minute, and straight up ugly crying the next. Now I'm not someone who normally cries. I like to bottle up my emotions and stay strong. I have to admit though, this game helped me let go of all those pent up emotions and I genuinely felt lighter after playing this.

Straight up 100/10. Yes, one hundred out of ten. This game is literally my favorite game that I've ever come across. Once again, Drifty.. you are an absolute LEGEND and I really look forward to seeing more from you!

I surprised myself by playing this game to the start of chapter 7 before I gave up.

The story goes a lot deeper than I have expected and it explores a theme that I‘d rather not think about too much.
I was originally reeled in by the renders which are great. The abundance of animated scenes surprised me.
Visual Novel-wise it feels solid, with choices that actually lead down different paths and an elaborate story line.

Now I have to admit, I expected more sex. I went into this and after the initial chapters I expected something along the lines of „sample everything in the beginning and pick what you like most, later.“ Turns out it is more of „Pick something early and stick with your choice for the rest of the game.“ That or I did something fundamentally wrong.
I felt lead on. A lot of teasing from all the LIs but nothing solid if you didn‘t favour them with your choices.

At first I wanted to rate this 3 stars, since the story is solid. But this seemed unfair to me, given that I went into the game with expectations that it didn‘t fulfill. I bumped it up to 4 stars, since it is absolutely solid. An emotional storyline paired with some (not all of them) gorgeous LIs and a lot of animations that bring the characters to life. To be honest, the animated sex scenes were of lesser quality compared to some other non sexual animations.

Most assuredly one of the best stories in an AVN that I have ever experienced. Have not yet reached the final chapter but this one really hits you, especially that chapter 6.... No spoilers though, I did find some of the animations a bit rough and the MC a bit too generic but the story more than makes up for this! If you want to have an emotional journey with some hot moments mixed in there then this is your kind of a game.

Unbelievably wonderful AVN. More story than sex which is generally what I look for in AVNs.

It is a powerfully strong story with a message, and does an excellent job portraying mental health issues and its fallout. I really can't stress this enough.

I don't think I've had a more cathartic experience in years.

This has been by far my favorite 'serious' AVN.

It was slightly slow to start for me, but I think that was more personal than quality.
The story is wonderfully long with ups and downs, humor, and it makes perfect use of the very few but appropriate fourth wall breaks.

I have so much I want to say about this, but alot of it requires spoilers.

Not just great music, but great use of music to further the storytelling, and compliments the renders and plot points perfectly.

Perfect ending. Simply a beautiful game all around.


Again, just an absolutely wonderful game.
Was so glad I could wishlist on steam, as I'll purchase it immediately upon its release.

Thank you for a story I will never forget.

Review as of Chapter 7.
In some ways this is probably the most moving VN I have played. I can’t recall another that brought tears to my eyes (except, on occasion, from laughter). Whether that is something desirable in an erotic VN I leave to the reader to decide. Leap of Faith is also unusually realistic in its harem elements, in that you are forced to choose, and experience the disappointment of the rejected. Again, whether this is desirable is a matter of taste. Personally, I prefer less realism in this area.

Overall the story is a bit of a mess. The solution to the framing mystery, of the girlfriend who disappeared two-years previously, turns out to be a ridiculous ass-pull. The MC is a hapless white-knight sort, who bobs through the story with all the agency of a piece of flotsam in the tide. And regardless of your choice of LI, the story of one girl (one of the least attractive), ends up dominating to a large degree.
I would rate it a three-star story, with a star added for the tears.

Fantastic AVN, probably one of the best I've played.

The approach to storytelling on this one is what has me rate it so highly. It's nice to play an adult title where the narrative is the driving force and the paths you can take with each girl feel rewarding and legitimate, the girls don't feel like tools to be discarded for the sake of titillation and all of them bring something to the table other than looks.

Music is fantastic too, not a fan of generic tracks or silence during these games as music can and does indeed have the ability to amplify emotions in certain scenes. Song application is solid on this one, so credit for that too.

There are certainly some silly aspects, like the entire celebrity ordeal and how people effectively get together to spend time together and I do feel that the MC, whilst likeable is perhaps a bit too perfect? He doesn't seemingly have any flaws himself. Other than that, I don't have too much to complain about other than minor plot points, very minor gripes essentially.

On an emotional level, I didn't expect the game to resonate with me the way that it did as I'm not a particularly emotional guy. Leap of Faith certainly caught me off guard, which is hilariously rare for entertainment.

Overall, I think this is no doubt one of the best AVNs on this platform and that it should be supported financially. It's a stellar product within the AVN space and 100% deserving of your time.

It's has everything...It's a lot different than everything you will find here..it's like a journal or a book you keep reading and not wanting to end. It has more than erotic scenes, it has feelings and life examples.

One of the best games I know with good storyline, humor, and beautiful visuals and animation. You should NOT skip through it with this one as you will miss out on a lot!
Yet, be prepared to be touched by the text. It is not a wham bam, thank you meme kind of game. Take your time and enjoy!

One of the best VNs out there currently. Although the animations are not that good, and a bit scarce, the story helps you ignore those, as this is the most heartfelt story that is currently out there in VNs in my opinion. It can be funny, sad and utterly devastating. A MUST play VN.

This Review is about Lea pof Faith Version „Chapter 7“ vom 22.12.2021.

Story:
The Story is really well written, and it is nice to play a game where you don’t have a big enemy which want you death. But you shouldn‘t play this game, when you have hard time and only looking for a happy story, because at some point it gets really dark.



Renders:
The render quality is good, but nothing special.

Sex Scenes:
There are some sex scenes, but not really much, it is more about the story and build up a relationship with your favourite girl. The sex scene not long either.

Models/ Personalities:
I in this game are variations of models and the personalities are very different from each other.

Example: You have a Superstar and a lesbian couple that want to try a new thing with a boy.
