Instert Corny joke about taking a chance

I wandered into this game with zero expectations and fore knowledge and came out more that pleasently surprised. I believe that an VN/H game should have two of three things going for it, Plot/Characters/Gameplay, art style is a given and bad art will kill any game. This is an excellent example of what a good VN should be. The characters are likeable and believeable enough that you can get invested in them. The Plot, while being contrived, is unobtrusive and works as a vehicle for the player to explore the charactesr. The gameplay is what is to be expected from a VN, the choices actually lead to different places and feel like they have a decent impact on the characters and the story. What i did not expect was the commentary from the creator, it actually adds to the game and lets you appreciate what you are looking at, also the little side bits to show what they had to do to render some of these scenes adds a bit of welcome levity and appreciatiaion to the game. Overall, Highly recommend Leap of Faith as it stands out as a quality product in a sea of 3d generated H games.

Hugely emotional rollercoaster

At first glance, I took Leap of Faith to be another cookie-cutter AVN. Implausibly buff guy manages through improbable circumstance to meet up with girls and have the option to hook up with them. Sounds like the usual trope, right? Not so much. This game touches on a whole range of sensitive topics, and is seriously emotionally impacting. I defy anyone with any emotional connection whatsoever to get through playing this and not be touched by it. If you feel emotions strongly, this game might well cause you to need a day or two to recover. Other reviews have already touched on much of the themes, so I am loathe to repeat that, but I think what I noticed most was that this is a blend of two very different concepts, without feeling forced. On the one hand, the AVN trope - everyone's good looking, often not wearing too much, mid-twenties, there's quite a bit of sex if you choose - and then there's the entire rest of the game, which is deep, well written, emotionally charged, vivid character building, and filled with humour and sadness. The sex scenes often feel fitting and meaningful instead of forced. There are some scenes where the writing is worthy of philosophy, of deep inner awareness of mental health and self-reflection. The music, even the cut-down list that makes it into the game, is absurdly well scored for each moment; and there are quite some moments. Would I change anything? Well, I hope for the days where these adult games mature, pun intended, into working for all audiences, rather than so often just the male heterosexual, but I would caveat that by saying this is an indie dev who nevertheless created nearly 30k renders for just this set of character arcs, so I also understand the constraints that multiple protagonists and even more arcs would impose. The latter chapters are a little less well-structured vs the opening, and a few plot elements are easy to miss, but it's minor stuff. This is, as will become clear if you play it, one hell of a story.

overrated

This is not the title you're looking for... it's VN first and foremost with scenes few and far between... and to unlock them all it requires multiple playthroughs, even when having saves in key moments. The story is ... a dream (not literally)... it's completely implausible.... it has all the good vibes and it's nice and all is positive... but too sweet for my taste... even one dark chapter is not enough to slightly bitter it. Main character is a nice guy and every girl almost literally glues to him the moment they meet. He doesn't earn anything in game... except by being the ultimate nicest guy on Earth. I liked the walkthrough add-on, really insightful of mechanics behind. Dev commentary was also interesting. I wish more devs put some of it These are worth a star here...

Outstanding Story

One of the best AVNs I have ever played, and I can't believe I'm admitting that publicly. This ranks right next to Eternum for me! The CeCe route is the absolute best thing in the game.
