This is as of Ch. 2.
Let me start by saying this game is an incredible breath of fresh air, it proves that so many tropes of adult VN's don't have to be cliche and monotonous. the game is shaping up to have a beautiful, Deep, compelling story that will rival any of the major games out there.
The MC: superb, probably the only MC in any VN that I don't dislike in any way. he's not filthy rich, popular, incredibly strong, massively endowed with Wilt Chamberlain levels of sexual conquests. he is a slightly above average, witty, sorta well-off, all around nice guy. He has a few friends that he's had since being a social outcast in high school, which he keeps close.
Graphics and animation: excellent, characters design is great, animations range from average to in-fucking-credible. The sex scenes are above average, and work well with great animations. I like that there isn’t an annoying constant barrage of menu options that appears every few strokes to give you more options than a Golden Corral of fucking, like in some VNs. This is obviously a romantic story game first and foremost, not vapid click and fap. The non porny animations are incredibly fluid and downright breathtaking especially with the fantastic and apropos soundtrack the scenes bookending of Ch2. brought me to tears, due to the touching story taking place as well as the cinematic beauty of the scene scene taking place before my eyes. The characters are beautiful without being over-the-top mutant supermodels, their very above average but not over-the-top beauty makes them that much more believable as characters.
Soundtrack: magnificent, every other VN soundtrack is for the most part crap, mundane, soul-less royalty free elevator music to keep you from hearing your plumbing and HVAC while you make click noises on your space bar, especially when compared to Leap of Faith, but I usually either turn music off in settings, leaving only sound effects, if any. Leap Of Faith’s soundtrack is in no simple words, outright phenomenal, it is on par with a big budget feature film, the soundtrack and placement for each scene alone would make this game would be a 10/10 even if the rest of the game was a dumpster fire.
Dialogue: very good, very immersive and funny, although a few spelling errors, grammatical flubs and a few phrases that seem awkward.
UI: nearly perfect, although I did run into a few minor glitches when dealing with your in game phone, which caused me to have to save and reload, it could have been my fault? The phone feature is great and adds another dynamic to the game play, not only do you worry about face to face interactions with characters, but also via text, the social media app is pretty cool as well.
Story: Par Excellence. this game has rare qualities that only the top 2% of VN’s can attain, it does get pretty dark in some places, but no one is burning your house down leaving you to choose between two characters you’ve fallen head over heals in love with (at least not yet).
Leap of Faith isn’t a porn heavy game at this point, its a heart warming romantic game with good characters and a few good sex scenes. Its not quite perfect yet, but it is a refreshing for an early release to be this good. Normally games at this early stage are still going through awkward growing pains to find its way in the world. This game has potential to be one of the best. It deserves a lot more attention then its been getting thus far.
Pros: fantastic believable characters
Excellent, touching story.
Probably the best MC in a VN ever.
Amazing soundtrack.
Some of the best animated scenes in any VN.
Cons: some spelling and grammatical errors.
The phone thing isn’t fully intuitive yet. And can cause some confusion.
