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

Really fun VN without all the overt big boobs 'n butts, just real (OK, completely made up, but they would be real if they werent completely made up) people story lines , great sense of humour (either that or my sense of humour is as cracked as yours), fantastic music, really decent graphics / models - don't change a thing!

Unquestionably, Leap Of Fait is in my personal top 5 of AVNs, as regards graphics, music, plot, storytelling, humor and romance. Without spoiling the readers, I can only say that I have reached chapter 5 and I can't wait to continue with the next chapter. Drifty, congratulations and I'm just thinking of supporting you on Patreon. Keep it up!

Hey you. Yes, you! Do you want to experience an AVN that connects you to the characters in a way that you feel what they feel, laugh when they laugh and cry when they cry? Well, look no further!

Leap of Faith is one those rare experiences where it's clearly visible that it was made out of true passion and love. Amazing diverse cast of characters (mainly women, mind you) with unique personalities, gorgeous visuals, and a heartfelt story create an immersive experience that will leave you hungry for more. And more...and more.

Definitely recommended to anyone who's looking for an amazing experience with quality renders, story and music.

I'm fairly new to the AVN world and this is one of those games that caught my attention when I browsed through the pages. This game combined a good dose of humor with a strong storyline and really great music scores that accents the overall quality of the games. This is definitely one of the top 5 games that I've played thus far and it can only improve from there. I can't wait to see this being rendered on 30x0 graphic cards with added intricate details, it'll make the game pop even more.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for a great game.

Enjoy.

I don't generally like to review unfinished games. But Leap of Faith is something very, very special. It's a game with lovely renders, beautiful characters, and with a music soundtrack that combines with the story and the visuals to grab you by the feels.

This is not a fuck-fest game. It is story driven, and you rapidly grow to care about the cast as the adventure unfolds. When I play this game, I do so with a massive grin of my face. It makes this grumpy old bastard feel genuine joy.

All of that makes the sex scenes far more engaging than you typically find with VN's. There are very few games that elicit an emotional response like Leap of Faith does. I thoroughly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys story-focused AVN's.

Thank you for this awesome experience Drifty!

I've been a fan ever since the 0.1, this was probably the game that really got me into the actual community of AVN games and not just scrolling through the latest updates to find new stuff to play.

The renders are good, the writing is excellent and the characters are all super well done. There is humour, there is sadness, and there are just lots of good times to be had in this game. Cece in particular I think is really well done as she is a "broken" character that we get to help make whole again. Even if you dont want to get romantically involved with her and chase one of the other excellent girls, the friendship route with Cece is really well done. Drifty's writing makes you care about each character, even when you dont really want to like certain characters

All in all this is definitely one of the best games out there imo and I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends!

Version Played: Ch.5 v0.5.1c

Time to Complete: 5-6 hours

TL;DR: A truly incredible game where you can feel the dedication and passion that the dev has put into their work with characters that are among the most real I've ever seen.

[5/5] Characters: This game doesn't focus too much on telling a wider story. Instead, it focuses on your relationships with the characters and that is where this game truly shines. The characters here are among the most real I've ever seen, each having a unique personality and behavior, feeling real. You feel true and deep-rooted empathy for many of them, and emotions are portrayed flawlessly.

[4.5/5] Renders: For the vast majority of cases, they're beautiful, but not all renders are built equal. While it is clear that a great deal of effort has been put into making them as great as possible, they're still within the limits of whatever PC the dev has. While these do not affect all renders, the two issues I noted were low resolution textures and empty feeling scenes.

[+5/5 Music]: No expense has been spared when it comes to music. There's clearly been a ton of time spent curating and licensing music.

[*] Final Note: This is one of those games where you can not only see, but also feel the love and passion that the dev has put into this project and I highly respect them for that.

Leap Of Faith [Ch.5 v0.5.1c]

This is a good game, technically speaking I have no complains. The renders look good, the animations are fluid (specially props for attention to facial expressions and adding blinking to make the characters feel more life-like), the writing is thoughtful and funny yet corny. The cast is wide and well characterized. It has music with different songs that play all over the game, providing ambience. The dev is clearly talented and it shows through their work. This is a "romantic sexy VN" (I wouldn't call it an adult game per se) and as such the MC is design to be a "chick flick good guy" aka SIMP (mostly if not exclusively monogamous). I followed the recommended modded walkthrough (Cece's path) and as such the MC rejected all the other girls to be only with Cece, who he has sex only ONCE (in a very romantic cliche scene) and then that was it, roll credits. Nevertheless it seems you can pursue the other girls as well which adds replayability if you are into that. Also apparently I only saw 3000 out of 13000 possible images or something like that (but I am not going to go through hours of game just to get 1 or 2 scenes, sorry). That being said this is definitely NOT my kind of game, since the girls get to have more fun than the MC (there are some lesbian scenes) and the game gives you blueballs and then you only get one scene (the reward is not worth the wait) with your main girl (maybe the others get more? I just didn't want Cece to kill herself if the MC dumped her lol). So this is a very nice game but sadly I can't fap to this. (But I am looking forward to the dev trying a less romantic approach on their next game )

4/5 or B+

Just simply one of the best games out here. the easy flow between comedy drama and romance is just amazing.
Fascinating plot, yes cliche, but imo the cliches in this one are alll in the right places, and it just wouldnt be the same without it.
easy on my top 3 list.
everything checks out, plot,beautiful design, gorgeous animations and soundtracks
Thank you!

This game deserves even more praise than it's getting.

The images are beautiful. The way all the characters interact is interesting, and they all seem to have different personalizes. Not a whole like of sex yet, but you can see the game is building towards that. I think the scenes on the plane were the most fun in the game.

Overall, good writing, I would call this 4 1/2 stars, because I find having to check the cell phone app all the time annoying. It's not obvious when you should do it and I think I'm missing things because of it. Other than that it's a must play game.

i would give 5 star as this game deserves but i when i played the game last i think was on 3.5 it felt like i am playing a game from EA games.
Why do i say that well apparently it was half a chapter and you could see the options you could choose but, you could not because it wasent finished it felt like i had to download a DLC that's a HUGE no no in my opinion.
Otherwise i like the game story is good which is a big plus imo.

One of the best VN I played in a long time! Renders, characters,choice of music and damn that story!

Once you get in to the story you start to feel characters fears, angers, emotions, laugh with them and even cry with them.
Choices do matter. Unlike other games what you choose really shape the story. All characters have great backstories. I know this
is still a porn game but not getting inside of everyone panties really puts the story like it is set on IRL. MC is really well made
and has his emotions and stance in life like he is real.

Music is really well chosen. Goes really well with what is going on and sets the mood for it. I'll probably listen The Talbott Brothers from now on.

P.S. Don't forget to support the devs. Even if it is little we can support the devs so we can see masterpieces like these more often.

LOF is one of the best ones I've played so far. It has great 3D imaging and animation. It has a great story. DriftyGames Keep up the great work and can't wait for the new chapter and the new story you are working on!!!

Unfortunately I fail to see what's the deal with this game and all the praises it gets. It certainly deserves credits, it has an interesting premise, there is clearly a lot of passion behind, writing is ok, graphics and models are good enough, even if often inconsistent.. music on the other hand is just thrown in, most of the times it clashes with the scene, for example during the hospital scene which is supposed to be a kind of sad/caring moment you have an energetic rock tune as soundtrack, why? Characters are anything but believable and it's really hard to take them seriously, even when you're supposed to, like when you're conforting a girl you just saved from a suicidal attempt.. this lack of consistency troughout the game is making me really struggle to get on with the game.. I'm still at chapter 2, maybe it totally turns around in the next 2 chapters.. I really hope so.

I never thought i would be the kind of person to leave a review for a sex game, but, this isn't just a sex game. This is definitely one of the better games that i'm seeing so far. i don't have much experience but for being on here a little bit now i can tell that this is a feel good game. You will laugh and maybe even hit the feels if you connect with a character, and surprisingly it's a game that has moral choices/consequences and a lot of back history for each character which is exactly what a visual novel should have. After all it is a visual NOVEL, it should have a good story. You can be the good guy while still getting your fill of sexual acts, yet the mc still defaults to his natural caring self in all cases. but i digress.

The story line is cute, and fun, and it's not all about sex which is a relief, for me, personally as a girl playing this (of course i speak for myself). It's a game that has a lot of choices, but it is mostly an emotional roller coaster with what seems to be a pretty interesting story line so far, with a ton of surprises and little secrets you might overlook. i highly recommend this game if story is your thing. the graphics and renders are pretty darn good and there are a lot of them.

im also big on music, and this has a pretty good soundtrack.
And because the developer took time to build up each personality and it shows I am looking forward to the next chapters.

This is the best game I've played. No game has the amount of heart and humor as this game. The story is fantastic and enjoy the relationships built with each character. Fascinated to see where the game goes from here.

Played the chapters 1-4, all that’s available up to date.

The visual aspect of this game is of a very, very high quality. Render quality, detail level, animations, all of that.
Music selection fits the scenes nicely, that’s really a breath of fresh air compared to many other games of this sort.
The writing overall is amazing. The jokes are really witty. The dialogues sound genuine. Most female characters and the MC’s best friend have really well-rounded personalities. I like that it’s not a light-hearted story, rather than one which deals with emotional turmoil.
All that in combination makes the game look like a well-directed movie with a thought screenplay, performed by real actors.

It’s not all a bed of roses. Some things are just “too good” and “too easy” for a plot of such emotional complexity.

I’ve admired the people around MC, but the MC himself – in my perception – is less believable. By the nature of an adult VN, the MC “has to click” with all the friends, which makes his personality reminiscent of a swiss-army knife. Funny bro/dude with Chris, horny and playful with Kira & Robin, nostalgic but a bit distant with Linda, overly protective and caring with Cece, all that decorated with the side effects of his tough breakup with Steph. It’s not bad at all that MC approaches different people in different suitable ways, but the execution lacks a tad of credibility.

Another thing is how easily the damsels fall for the MC – I mean those that meet the him for the first time. Strong interest at first sight, a 100% success rate. This seems a trope typical for adult VNs and it gives an unnecessary acceleration to the build-up of the player’s interest and tension. Besides, I am waiting for more backstory of Lexi, because so far her immediate falling for MC and hence a certain travel event seem somewhat unjustified.

Still I’m craving for more of this game.
The “kiss in the park” scene is the most sensual thing I have witnessed in VNs.
Cece biting her lower lip and shedding some tears is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in all sort of digital images in all my life, period.
It’s not just the looks though. I wish I met a person like her IRL. I felt like I literally wanted to hug her and never let go. I really worry that something bad may happen to her character in the coming chapters. The praise for a fictional character doesn’t get higher than that, I suppose.

Leap of Faith presents an excelent story, characters with unique personalities, and even the chosen songs capture the essence of each moment in history. It has been a long time that the unfolding of a story has not captivated me so much, the rythm seems right, the characters amazing it is worth going through all the choices. Thanks

Outstanding work, there is some real awesome use of animations outside of sex scenes that make a really well crafted story. Also each of the girls paths seem unique and not just cut outs. They all have unique relationships and experiences with the MC, I am very impressed with the depth of this story. Enough so to become a Patron

Excellent game.

Great story, great characters, great lewd scenes. No grind and choices that feel meaningful.

With how the latest update ended I worry the game might go off the rails in terms of story but the main LI (I mean you can choose others but who honestly picks anyone but CeCe?) is so great that even if the quality of the main story decreases I would still enjoy it just for their relationship.
