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

[♂Brout&Minou♀]

This game it make me feel empty, depression and somehow angry? after the ending of chapter 6 I would need a break or I would not take it anymore....it's like this game play with your feelings so easy from the comedy, love to the depression and real dark drama... it can be good story movie, the game you know is good when it make it feel emotion when you play it.

Well, you're not the only one to have had these feelings. It's not for nothing that many describe the game as a roller coaster of emotions. I myself had to take a real break for a few days away from everything and everyone because as I have already mentioned in some of my posts, I really connected to the character of Cece because of the similarity that she has with my little sister, who she did not survive.

Now I'm asking myself if I did a correct decision to be on lexi route for the first way through, this unstable cece fuck everything in a good or bad way...it's clear that who writte this story cece was the main character focus on this story... the twist events is just a bonus add value to the story.
Even if you are on other girls route the game scream go with cece, this game succesful make you to regret that you did not start the story with cece as first way through.

We wondered about the choice, since all the girls are really great, each in their own way. There are two around which all the characters gather. Cece and Lexi. They are like two opposite poles. One tends to flee the crowd by walking in the shadows, and the other attracts the crowd by dancing in the spotlight. Of course, the developer has made Cece the main articulation of the game. Telling a true story through Cece who represents his daughter, he gives us a slice of his own life. So I think it's quite normal to feel a strong attraction to Cece, so much emphasis has been placed on her character by the author.
Personally for our first run, the choice fell on Holly through lexi, but having made a mistake, we ended up with Lexi. why Holly? 1st because it best matches the one I would choose irl, 2nd because it looks a lot like the one I chose a few years ago now, and it doesn't displease her because we play together

Right now, I'm trying to figure out where the extra ~4000 renders are that the game states I have not seen in the final conclusion. I guess maybe they are just variations of things I've seen already, since for the extra playthroughs I started from the 'main choice' about halfway through the game and didn't bother going back to the beginning since I was only interested in the 'new content' from the other paths.

Holly is easily my favorite character too. Now, I have to ask, because I've never really understood this, but is there any real benefit at all to collecting the steam achievements except bragging rights? I can't even imagine wanting to go back over and over again seeking out every single tiny little branch to collect a pop-up ribbon congratulating me for wasting three hours and getting the one-off scene where she licks my nipple briefly instead of patting my cheek affectionately, or whatever. Having said that, if there is some kind of tangible benefit where you get the gold key to the secret leather-and-lollipop dungeon or something then maybe there's a logical reason underlying it all. Is there anything? Or is it just for super game fan completists?

What? Didn't you find out all the Medikits?
I will take the example of another game which illustrates your question well, and which does not require playing on steam; SL aka sunshine love and its donuts... These fucking doughnuts
At the beginning, I start it a bit like playing a game of minesweeper or candy crush saga, just to pass the time, before a appointment or meeting for example. But then it can quickly turn into fanatic obsession, and the only benefit I can get from it is to make my blood pressure skyrocket when I have an appointment with my doctor who happens to be a... .bewitching feminine creature? to take good care of myself during an medical examen that I don't hesitate to drag out

What can I say ... once I decide I'm interested in the things, I want all the things.

Seriously though, I did want to see all the paths, especially after the commentary was available. The only thing I did JUST to get an achievement was leave Steph behind. But doing so does clarify some of the mysteries of the game ... such as who's watching you in the tree, where the old man is going, etc. (Actually that's about it, but still ...).

So, nothing really then.

just bragging if wants to tell friends about what kind of games plays.

 

[Zerorox]

Hm... I played all routes except 2 Lesbs Solo, and it's like every route reminds You made wrong choise "Why did you choose not Cece? Are You stupid? It could be much better then that..."

I meant Cece is main girl, other girls routes are much weaker.

Opinions are divided here. Of course the Dev made sure to put Lexi and Cece at the center of the story. In mather of fact, it was from an event in his own life that he was inspired by the character of Cece. But from my point of view, he created all the other characters with the same desire to make them authentic and alive. Even the way the Mc meets those who will become his friends, and a little more for one of the girls is plausible (at least from my experience). I don't think the other paths are weaker. On the other hand, I think it's easy to follow Cece's path because the Dev appeals to deep, dark feelings, and no one likes to feel guilty for turning their backs on someone in dire need of help.

From what I've seen in this game, dev put more inspiration and work in Cece route including ending and sex scenes. And I'm sure it was finished first, at least in dev's head.

Though ofc it depends on tastes which girl player'll like more. That's Why there are other LI's

That's what I see, I got disappointed a bit in other girls routes closer to end and endings, and I even finished Cece route not first. Still opinion is opinion and nothing more)

I definitely think there are some paths that got a bit less planning (Lexi/Holly, MAYBE Robin solo) but I don't see a lack of effort in any of them. Choosing Holly over Lexi is actually one of the stronger endings, I think, and she wasn't even supposed to be an LI when she was introduced. It's not an EASY one, and you have to cheat on Lexi to get it, but I think it's actually better written than ending with all three of them together. Steph's path isn't bad, but her whole story has so many holes it's hard to get completely invested, but Linda's path is fun and satisfying (if you like her as a character, I suppose) and gives Kira a run for the craziest LI.

Anyway, I think the best part about the game is none of the girls really feel like afterthoughts, even if some of the paths kinda do.

Yeah.... Yeah and-Hmmm.... Yeah?

Joking aside, I agree with your description. I'll just add that besides the fact that my preference for Holly is no secret, what I find interesting in a game, and not only in the game but also irl, is the challenge. What's exciting when you just have to bend down to pick it up? Indeed, it is quickly acquired and easy. But you get jaded in no time without the motivation to get your brains boiling a bit, and Holly just stands out. On each different path we took, I always looked for her in the mansion, while she was always in the background, not out of shyness but out of discretion. When she get in at Lexi's, my first reaction was. NO! WHY NOW???? NONONO! Try again the previous day... No! Try it even on the day one

 

[DangDing]

Oh shit, I can't believe I guess right that she's gonna do it again. That scene makes me laugh instead of getting shocked, hahaha. At least it wakes me up from falling sleep from the cheesy romance.

Hey buddy I'm so sorry about what I said about Cece.

 

[talion777]

Well, I finally got around to finishing the last major storyline of Kira/Robin. I had to psyche myself up for the excessive clicking/skipping necessary to advance from the decision point to the end (again). Since I had done all the others I wanted to go through this one too, but honestly it's a chore. Since you always have to repeat the same story over and over again and just watch the alternate scenes attached to the new character point of view at critical points it's a bit different than actually pursuing a different story. Of course I understand this because it would be massive amounts of work to create individual stories for each character, and I think overall the dev did a good job of balancing everything out, but because the critical decision happens so early in the story there's a lot to get through before getting to the end. Anyway, I liked the game enough to invest the time to see how it all works out for everyone. I haven't done Robin and Kira solo, and honestly I'm not sure I'm hardy enough to do so, but maybe later we'll see.

Anyway, despite there being more things actually going on with the Kira/Robin route towards the end I felt a little bit let down. To me it felt a bit disjointed, and since I liked both characters in the story I had hoped for a more fulsome resolution. Opinions may vary. The Holly solo route was the first one I finished and I think that was one of the best too. I was also fine with the Lexi/Holly, Cece and Linda stories. Knowing what I know now I wouldn't go back again to re-do the Steph or Robin/Kira stories. Holly is definitely my favorite girl, with everyone else more or less in a peloton behind her. I think a few frames could have been spared to give Chris a better resolution too, since we had to put up with him for the rest of the story. Honestly had it been me I would have picked Kevin to be my best friend and booted Chris to the curb. lol
