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

I don't have anything to add that hasn't been covered already. Excellent characters with substantial character development, a compelling story that faithfully branches off based on your choices, and excellent adult content to boot. Five stars, easy.

An amazingly well told and engaging story. Obviously written by someone with life experience and perspective - and a lot of talent.

This game drew me in with the story, wowed me with it's attention to detail and composition, and the fact that it's mostly the work of a single individual is greatly impressive.

Since I got too caught up in Cece's story, I'll have to replay it now to get all the lewd bits I missed. I'm looking forward to it.

I've been following this game since damn near its debut, and have been beyond impressed and further sucked into the world and characters each chapter that was released.

Now to get into my review, with will be as spoiler free as possible.

Graphics: Great. the first chapter was rougher with its renders, especially lighting making Kira look greasy, though DriftyGames very obviously improved vastly between every chapter, by the final chapter looking amazing. Though admittedly there are still some rougher renders in the later chapters but they are easy to overlook for the most part.

Music: There is a lot of different song here, and they are all pretty good. Cant say too much more here since in tend to play my own music or other stuff while I read so I only heard some of it.

Sexytime/Lewds: one of the games weaker points. Not bad, but typically much shorter scene and often you can be blue-balled by the dev (which he happily points out at one point!) Renders for the sex stuff varies from pretty hot to feeling a little rushed. If the sex aspect is the MOST important part then you probably will be disappointed. In many ways this is a Story to tell masquerading under the moniker of "porn game". Though despite that, the sex aint bad, just clearly the story takes the front seat while the sex is in the back. A lot of really good Lewds as well honestly.

Story: AMAZING, game starts slow for me until Cece is introduced, then its great until the end. I love that It really does try to actually ground a lot of what happens, even the more far reaching stuff. This game has a LOT to spoil, thus I wont say anything more than, If the story is among the most important things for you (like me) then this game is top tier. This game and its Dev had a very clear and defined story to tell, and it is done near flawlessly. Keep in mind that this game does have several pretty heavy moments.

Characters: When I played the first chapter 2 years ago, I swore Cece was the only character I was going to really like, however, all of the character are really great. Cece still being the best by miles, but all of the females pack reason to like them and are pretty well fleshed out. Where I want to to point a special attention is to the guys. Its pretty rare to play one of these games and actively like the main character. This one is a bit of an airhead, but never is he a major push over, nor a overly pervy Piece of shit, even having the option to play wingman for his best friend (who is also pretty likable and glad he was given the treatment he did).

Final thoughts: The game is really great regardless of its sexual aspects and would be just as good if they were absent. if that doesn't sell that game by itself honestly its you who is missing out.

The characters are endearing as hell, the story is among the best you will find on this site, and the music does its job and there is a hell lot of it. Just play the game I promise you will not regret it.

Personally pumped to see more about the next game U4IA

As someone who still is suffering with depression for 20 years, this game has to be the best story i have ever seen on here and im thankful to have found it!! Such a beautiful story and game and couldn't ask for better. 5stars all day.

Can't say more than what others have already said. This is one of the best. Thanks Drifty. The story was emotional but also fun with good use of humor throughout. All characters are likeable and ends with bittersweet moments.

Highly recommended.

Definitely not for the faint hearted..

This game resonated with me on a whole different level. Thank You Drifty for sharing such a personal story with all of us randos. This is by far one of the best adult game I've played so far, and my only criticism would be I wish we got to spend just a day or two more with our chosen one.

Thanks for sharing this story with us. Fingers crossed your next project is half as good as this one.

Wow what an amazing journey this was. Got hooked on the art and story very quickly and power played over 2 nights. Completed all the routes not long after. Whish there is a harem path and built a castle with all the girls since they are all sooooo lovely
Give it a go you will not regret it.

One of the best VNs I've played.

The story is amazing and really emotional. I teared up a couple of times.

The renders are great.

The soundtrack is one of best. I still listen to these songs on spotify.

I will remember this game for a long time and I'm really looking forward to Drifty's future works.

Fantastic game. The story goes emotionally far beyond most adult games which makes it far more enjoyable. Well writtencharacters and animation was great overall. The only reason not to play it is if you aren't in the mood to have an emotional kick to the balls.

Well done Drifty!

This was one of those games, where you'd be fine even if the intercourse scenes were not present. Outstanding storytelling, all the characters are fully utilized without any fillers and straight to the point, I played the first 5 chapters in 1 sitting and it's just so easy to go through, I didn't feel I should click rapidly to go to the next scences, and had a overall great time, like chilling out with friends.

I don't know why I was skeptical at first because I didn't think an emotional story telling is possible through this medium, but it was a pleasant surprise to be treated with this masterfully crafted story, well animated and use
of curated music that is mesmerising and complements the scences wonderfully.

This was such a delight, I didn't find myself trying to get a score with each and every woman, but let the story fold organically and it was a rewarding experience in the end. I haven't seen such a creative use of visual elements to enhance and make the scenes more fun to experience than ever before, such a thrilling roller coaster ride of emotions.

If you're on the fence about how you'll feel about this game..this might sound cheesy but you gotta take a leap of faith to find out. At the end of it you'll be left with an experience like no other, and it will make you appreciate more the hard work and personal journey of the dev that goes behind the scenes to treat us with such a creative spectacle. It wasn't short, it wasn't long, it wasn't boring and it wasn't virtue signaling either. This was a perfect masterclass of how a visual novel can have such an impact on the community, this was a masterpiece.

Wow. Just wow.
What a roller-coaster of emotions this was. Those characters had dynamic and believable personalities, backgrounds, emotions and the dev wrote them in such a way that they just all felt.. alive!
I really hope the dev keeps writing stories, no matter the genre, because he has so much talent it's just truly amazing . I also hope he gets the love and support he deserves.
Thank you for the game Drifty. Even better, thank you for the experience. Really.

What makes a good game amazing? These are details, and the first such detail was the end of the first chapter, when the author masterfully performed the transition to the title of the chapter.
The plot is quite simple, but its details immerse you in what is happening on the screen and cause sincere emotions.
The characters are interesting, each girl has her own quirks and character development. Great music, falling in time with what is happening.
As a result, the author made a wonderful visual novel. I thank him for this work and wish him peace in his soul.

This is overall an excellent game, with great writing, characters and humor. People should be aware that there is some darker content in it and it may not be for everybody, but everything is handled tastefully and well in that aspect of the game. MC is generally likeable and choices definitely matter, but the choices that matter most are mostly front loaded into the first half of the game so there's less sense of participation in the latter half of the game. There's a lot of clicking and looking to see how your earlier decisions play out. That's mostly ok because the storytelling is good, but it would be nice to have a little more impact in the end of the game too. The sense of play diminishes as you move along. There are also a couple of instances of things that seem important as tasks or events in the game that don't really get adequately resolved or that you don't see the results of, but really these are minor quibbles in what generally is a great game. Definitely recommended.

Incredibly written, multiple endings, and a "book" hangover where I'm sad it's over. It also has some tender moments that may hit you harder than you expect. I didn't think I'd get this much from an adult game, but I'm glad I went with Leap of Faith!

I can't really express how great this game is and how much it touched me. I will just say this:

Leap of Faith is one of the best adult visual novels around. It's sexy, it's funny, every girl has her own path (some even more than one), the story is great and did I mention it is sometimes hillariously funny... and then it punches you in the gut and makes you realize this is an adult game in more sense than one.

I cannot praise this game highly enough. It is truly a work of art.

Already posted in the thread, but I can't write more or better, so...

Wow! And in saying that, I mean it.
We have just finished our first run or rather first path with Lexi. We wanted it to be with Holly but it looks like we missed something. Probably the first choice when the Mc first meets Holly, then she asks him about his intentions with Lexi. We will try every girl's way, even if it is not mandatory for us to do so. It ultimately depends on the characters and many other things, so if we don't like one of the characters, we don't go that route. Here, all the characters are lovely and have an interesting background to discover. Moreover, their stories like the general plot of the game are quite plausible. Plausible to the point that some can relate with part of the story. We had read quite a few reviews and comments of the game, but as always take them with salt and pepper. Roller coaster huh? Yeah yeah, We'll see.... And we saw! Me more than my partner for that matter. Needless to say which part of this story is the most disturbing, everyone knows what, or rather who I am talking about. I was probably very naive when by avoiding choosing Cece, I thought I was avoiding drama. Having experienced something very similar, I discovered that I could still cry my heart out. Hell, I even had to take a break away from home for a few days to clear my head. I really identified with the relationship the Mc has with Cece. Suffering from empathy seems really strange, the symptoms seem to be irrational. To make a comparison, just imagine a big slap on the back while you suffer from a sunburn. Now sit in front of the TV news, and watch the bombs fall on a city on the other side of the world, and each bomb represents a great slap on your brain whose sensitivity is heightened by the sunburn. My little sister felt this for the smallest things that seem so insignificant to us, that we hardly perceive them at most. If the game is a fiction, part of this story feels lived. It seems Cece's character is modeled by the Dev's daughter. It wouldn't surprise me in the least. Anyway, we're going to wait a bit before choosing the path of another girl, because if I continue to cry, my eyes will eventually fall to the ground and break like crystal.

Now, speaking only of the game.
The title is really appropriate. It's an act of faith, once in a lifetime during a slice of life of an Mc, who too rarely is not a perfect asshole, stupid as a broom, who pervs neither more nor less than a normal guy , and not even that much, considering the number of sex bombs that revolve around him. His story begins in a fairly banal way (who has not experienced a tromatizing rupture in his life has not experienced one, in my humble opinion) and whose awakening is two-way, I mean he doesn't content himself to come out of his sack when he heard the alarm clock ringing.

NPCs....well, maybe not playable but definitely playful. Did I ever say girls were sex bombs? They are ready to explode of course, but their physique is only part of their charms. We learn to know them through different little scenes, especially during the interludes between two chapters. Long story short, the characters in the game are all different in both physical and mentality, which makes them all the more interesting. The story. Here, no Mc who builds a harem in his high school by blackmailing his main teacher, and\or who pervs on his benevolent mom, his bitchy big sister and his mischievous little sister, Nope!
Here, it's a guy who wakes up one morning, realizes he's wasted enough time complaining about something he has no control over, and armed with his best friend, will meet unexpected people. coming from different backgrounds who also have their own problems. First befriending them, they will live an extraordinary adventure thanks to an opportunity that we can only dream of. Lives that intersect, come together, to finally resume their journey separately, but having all taken back their lives in hand. A real rollercoaster full of strong emotions. Personally, I laughed a lot but also cried, and in between a range of emotions as colorful as a rainbow. Did I say we liked the game? Yeah, it's really a nice surprise that didn't leave us indifferent.

Con: you need a fucking machine gun pc to fully enjoy this game

I consider myself fairly tight with my emotions. I am a man after all, and society has ingrained into me not to cry. However, this game made me bawl like a baby multiple times. I cannot recommend this highly enough. You will fall in love with the characters, and the story is purely amazing. If you are on the fence on trying this game for any reason, please do try it. It will emotionally impact you, and you will enjoy it all. Easily the best visual novel out there.

Totally deserving of being the 5th highest rated game here. An emotional journey, one that had me shed tears at one point, definitely worth playing. This is NOT a fuckfest like most of the games here, there's a decent amount of scenes but the game locks you into one of 6 paths fairly early, so you'll have to play 6 times to see them all, but its still a great experience.

*One of the best games on this site*

Only recently found this game based on the signature of a random member whilst i was reading a thread for another game. all i can say is WOW!

In this game, choices mean something, lots of branching storylines, geninely emotional and well written throughout and enough lewd content to satisfy the fappers too.

I have played through this game twice so far to choose different LIs, i will probably playthrough it again too with one of the other potential LIs.

For those that like an engaging story this is a must play.

One of the best games I have played of this genera. Definite recommend. The renders are stunning (a few minor errors) but the animations set this game apart and the story is next level. Definitely interested to see how Drifty can top this with the next venture.
