You know, I'm very very impressed for the accuracy of how Cece is feeling. It's so on point in a lot of things and it actually brought back some memories. Now, there's one thing I want to say, not to the creator of this marvelous story but to some people I've seen commenting about what "should" happen next. First hi, I am a survivor of not one, not two but three attempts of suicide (I'm completely good now, that was seven years ago), pleasure to meet you! I've seen someone comment that after that scene certain character is not... let's say "dateable" (did I say that right?) and that they need to get help. I agree 100% on the help side of the comment, absolutely, but the "dateable" side and the nature of the "get help"... not so much. I'll explain:
Being like that is a torture 24/7 in our homes, in our "normal" lives, when we guilt ourselves for not being able to do the normal stuff, the most trivial stuff, other people do without even thinking that that thing could be hell to someone. Now imagine how that emotion would be if we were locked up in a hospital.
I understand where this is coming from, people want to help and we appreciate that, but for me and the bunch of people I got in touch with in that countless therapy group sessions the answer is clear: it would literally mean the death for us, because then we'd have a solid proof that we are that useless and that we need to get fixed (spoiler alert: you don't because you are not broken. It's just a pattern of thoughts, a habit that can be changed)
Therapy? Psychologists? A shit ton of mind work to do? For sure 100% Hospital? A few people might need it but I've never meet anyone that says that would be their case.
About the dateable thing, it's funny because that was the position my girlfriend and I were, when some little thing upsetted me back then and she didn't sleep those nights because she was afraid I'd make something crazy. She went straight to my therapist one day and asked him if it was wise or even healthy for me to be in a romantic relationship. He sat us beside each other and asked us if we wanted to be in a romantic relationship, I said yes but my girlfriend hesitated. She insisted in ask him if it was healthy for me, just for him to repeat his question. I was about to burst in tears and then she said that yes, she wanted to be with me (the relief!). He then asked us if we were willing to put in the work and compromise because it wasn't going to be easy. Again, we said yes. Then my therapist smiled and said "then I don't see any problem!" It required a lot of daily work, discussions and a few tears along the way, but two years ago we got married so I think we did pretty well.
Of course, everyone has their own opinion about this kind of situation and everyone is different, but keep in mind this little story of mine.
Lastly, if you are one of those people that are in a situation like I was let me tell you something:
You are not alone, I love every single one of you and I believe in you. Everyone is battling against their own demons, yours might be louder but they will fall too. Please hang in there, you can't even imagine how much beauty and happiness the future holds for you
I like the fact you've taken the time to create a table based of the ratings people would vote on. I think interesting and realistic plot should be higher though, as its realistic to the creator, and its realistic to a lot of unfortunate people that have been through similar situations, respect nonetheless though.
Hi, this is of course a very subjective evaluation, any other person can feel quite different about it. I agree that the plot is very realistic, it's the 'interesting' part that lose the points, but you're right that maybe I did not appreciated it enough, it's certainly not boring, I didn't skip any text even once.
Hey i noticed you haven't played Acting Lessons yet ( Same creator of Being a DIK), also Savior, City of Broken Dreamers. My ranking for them would be the following:
Thanks for the hints. Actually savior is on my black list https://vnrank.blogspot.com/p/poor.html and I don't remember why, probably because of sandbox, incest or simple I found the plot silly. But maybe I will give it another chance if you rate it so high.
Regarding Acting Lessons & City of Unbroken Dreamers: I played them quite long time ago and forgot to evaluate them but I didn't like them.
'Acting lessons' have very limited choices, you are stuck with one girl and may only decide whether to cheat on her or not. And the last chapter doesn't have any decision at all.
'City of Unbroken Dreamers' I stopped playing more less when the MC found the girl. I was simply bored with all the Sci-fi staff, probably it's not for me.
Regarding Acting Lessons, I enjoyed it a lot because of the well crafted characters and story especially the plot twist and I understand your frustration of only being only able to save one of the main girls. The thing is you can choose other girls too (aside from either Melissa or Megan) like Rena, Leah, Angela, Hedwig, and Ana. The only sad part is one of them would die (one of the main girls). Overall, I'd say give it another go. Its story is superb. Characters are solid especially Liam (your best friend). Very emotional story. Dr. PinkCake sure knows how to create excellent visual novels. I still rate it 9/10 after playing hundreds of visual novels.
It all depends what are you looking for in the VN. For me the most important is to make decisions and have an impact on what's happening, to feel like you live another life . In 'Acting lessons' I had a feeling that my actions don't count at all.
I am having trouble updating the base file with the new material on mac. I looked at the contents of the .zip file and replaced the folder with the expansion. That just clones the expansion (lost my progress). Thoughts?
This chapter just broke me. I lost 2 close family members to this same situation. It is not easy nor does it get any easier. I am sorry for your loss and I know the pain you feel. You are a great story teller.
I knw this game is very good and I appreciate how rich the story is, but u can't just kill her in the next chapter bro, idk if that happens I won't be able to play the game man, it will too overwhelming I hope you don't do that
fuck man chapter 6 ending hit me so fucking hard! im a 22 year old lad who never shows emotions but shit :'( that hit so hard such unbelievable work the story is so good even if at times its painful. much love <3
How can you write such an incredible story? Respect dude. I played Chapter 6 on the release day and Im still hoping that the end scene was just a nightmare of James... (yeah who would stop hoping) Keep goin on Drifty!
This is the best game, like... of all. The story is great, characters are all awesome, this is the first lewd game where I've genuinely wanted to help set my 'best friend' character up. The music video portions are amazingly done, the characters seem real and relatable and not just 'harem bingo'. Great stuff.
Truly epic drifty that is true gaming right there and sorry for your loss and to all the haters you obviously dont see a great game when it's staring at you and think how hard it was for drifty to make them scenes given what happened in rl so show some respect and keep up the great work respect drifty
Man...I honestly don´t know what to say! This game was just beautiful. Your story telling was just pure art and all the characters were just perfect. Cece´s character is so lovely, but most times people with depression are the most caring ones for their friends. This game was something different. It was an emotional roller coaster for me. You triggered so many emotions in me during my playthrough and had me crying in the end, because I was so sucked in by the story. Also the song Blue from Faith Richards might be my new favorite song I just can´t stop listening to it. Keep up the good work.
I love your work. It really sucked me in. Amazing story telling and programing. But this was to heavy. Even with the disclamer people will watch it. Anyone who has lost a loved one to this could get massively wrecked by this.... to the point of even doing what you depicted in that final scene. For me I was gonna save her story for my final play through when you finished the game. The true heros journey. But that's screwed up now. Also for anyone that says it's real man I call bs cause I know for a personal fact you can always be pulled back from the brink if someone makes it there in time. Specially if it's a loved one. But hey it's your IP. I am just not sure I can support your work anymore.
its not in the creators hands if the viewer decides to still view the distressing scenes even when told NOT TO, if it reflects a personal matter. Also yeah people can be saved if the right person comes at the right time, but everyone's different. Some people just can't be saved (as heart-breaking as it is). Nonetheless I respect your decision and I somewhat agree, especially if your "walkthrough" is for YouTube where they have a large young audience.
Everything seemed going so fine. And then it's turned upside down. I loved Cece from the start and really care about her. A testament to your skill at writing.
It's the second time a VN was able to give me such a numb feeling (other time was the bad ending in Summer Scent), and the horror when connecting the dots with MC beforehand and realizing what she is planning to do. Couldn't sleep for a while, as it reminded me of the brother of my best man.
After marrying, we had a party with the family and two days later with our friends. Due to a spur of a moment, I asked my best man on the mornig of the party to invite his brother to the party. He came with him and I was wondering during the party, why his brother seemed a little strange and a little bit of clingy to me.
The next day my friend told me, that this invitation had probably saved his brother who was just a step before doing it when he called him. I still think about it even 23 years later he is still alive and passed those dark times).
Thank god this was the only time people I know personally brushed with suicide and that small things (even unknowingly) could have a big impact (positivly in this case). I feel sorry for everyone who had to experience this personally and wish them all the best.
When sitting down beside Cece (slightly before this) to comfort her, bring up your phone and send a message to her.
Afterwards, go through your Nuke app after the screens where Robin is dancing, right before Cece enters. Find the picture of Kira and search it for clues.
When I text with CeCe, it ends with a hug, fade to black and then my date with Lexi pops up; Robin's dance sequence does not play. Where am I going wrong?
you get it the pin from Kira's picture but you do it after Robin tells you she's going to go try her toy out. It will say I need to find her pin number. You pull up nuke and go to kira's picture. it's basically the numbers on robin's sn.
When the screen shows robin dancing after showing you the toy, and right before cece pops into view it says something on screen along the lines of "I wonder what her code is" (heavily paraphrased), go to Nuke and look for one of the pictures of Kira (i found on the one of her in the dress walking to your house) and theres the option to look at robins user name.
I REALLY HATE YOU! BURN IN HELL. I so often have to deal with those same emotions and this ending has so boosted them again. I knew how it would end but hoped I was wrong. But no!
First let me say I'm sorry for my beginning outburst. I'm a combat vet who saw way too many friends die and brought all that home with me. I still can't let that go even seeing psychiatrists all these years. I got into Leap of Faith cause it was showing me a happier side of side even though it wasn't real. But then I found myself so attached to CeCe cause her life, dark as it was, matched mine. Many times I wished I could have done want she final did. But her life seemed to be on a good track finally and seeing her just give up like that, I just totally broke down in disbelief. Why! Was all I could say. And if she could finally do it to get away from her demons then why not me. I really feel my struggles each and every day cause I see myself and it's hell! I'm trying hard not to think, but easier said than done. Strange that I would have a date coming up soon to see my psych, but I don't know what to say to her. You have written the most incredible story I have ever read but in a way I'm sorry I read it. My brain just was not ready for that mirror to look into. Again sorry and keep writing,
First of all, thank you very much for coming back with a followup comment. I absolutely applaud you. I can fully understand reactions to this chapter, although 99.9% of them are good. Leap of Faith is very much about feelings, or rather to feel. I do know that for some feelings are hard (if you read the text at the end), but I will do my utmost to make it up to you in the following chapter, and I hope that you will find peace with your demons and can live alongside them.
Secondly, did you notice the heartbeat at the very end of this chapter?
i shouldnt ignored the warning at the end. seriously guys, If you ever had a suicidal thoughts in your life you must skip chapter 6 end scene, its not a joke !
So i have Leap of Faith 5.1c , i downloaded the 6.1 and it tells me its a patch, what do i exactly do to play Chapter 6? I don't know how to really play otherwise, aka I'm clueless , any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
I've just tried launching the game and it comes back with error and when I wanna load my save file or press ignore it takes me back to chapter 1, I'm really annoyed because I really don't wanna go through the entire story again. It took me so long to get every girls happy ending up til chapter 6. what do I do?
the ending to chapter 6 was absolutely phenomenal man, really sensitive and touching end. can't wait for ch7, love the storyline, artwork and overall progression of this novel. 11/10
its symbolising the fact that cece was "dying" or "dead" because it flatlined, but if you watch til the very end, there's an extra beat. probably meaning shes not fully under. We'll have to wait and see in chapter 7 though.
WOWW chapter 6 completely fucked me up. What a great cliff hanger. Absolutely amazing I'd definitely say this story is in my top 3 and that your 100% going places. I don't know if you know who Dr. Pink Cake is, but he wrote 2 of my favorite visual novels and I'd definitely put you in the same top tier category as him. Can't wait for chapter 7. Great job!
That was an amazing experience. Props for you guys, really top notch work. The game has a really nice plot and great relatable characters, laughed, cried, felt happy and sometimes sad so it was really a unique rollercoaster. Also, great selection on your OST, some songs really push the mood in certain scenes. Im curious to see where you take the story in the next chapters.
Hey, so I followed the download instructions but never had a overwrite prompt show up and when I do open it it's missing images/sound ect. Just hoping for a push in the right direction :)
Due to my file limit here on Itch, I had to make chapter 5 into a patch - meaning it contains the chapter 5 images only.
In order to play 0.5.1 after downloading, unzip it and copy it into the 0.4.5 folder after unzipping (select overwrite when asked about it), then run 0.4.5 as you normally would. If the top right corner of the main menu screen shows 0.5.1, you've done it correctly.
I have made a post at the top of this page, also on the download page, and in addition to that I answered you message about three months ago when you asked the same question - if you scroll down a bit. :)
If you have problems patching, then you can download chapter 1-5 in one go at my patreon page:
I rarely ever comment, but this game had me hooked from the get go. Such lovable characters, the scene and story building is wonderful. I am rarely emotionally invested in a VN character, but there are a few characters I really connected to in this story..
Awesome job, will be supporting your patreon as well. Can't wait for the update.
I just discovered Leap of Faith yesterday and I just had to leave this comment.
For anyone reading: This comment contains some major spoilers for one of the girls in the game.
.

I chose to focus on Cece in my playthrough because she just appealed to me the most from the get go and oh boy what a journey it has been so far. I am currently at Lexi's house just when Cece and MC have Sex for the first time and I just wanted to say Thank you for making this game. I am in a pretty rough spot in my life right now and seeing Cece's struggles and how MC and literally everybody loves her and helps her ... helps. I am bonding with her a lot and I can't wait to see how the story progresses. Also this is the first VN I am ever playing where the music really enhances and supports the gameplay. It is an excellent choice, the humor (like the bunny dancing / singing scenes) fits it perfectly and it is a really really great game so far. I will pledge to Patreon as soon as I am in a better spot financially because this game deserves way more praise and attention than it seems to be getting so far.
We don't know each other, but please stay safe and healthy Drifty, looking forward to all your future content. Have a good one.
The one thing that keeps bugging me is Steph's age and her relationship with the MC. If the game takes place after 2 years Steph leaves the MC without contact, and right now she's 26, how old was she when she moved to the school? The main character is 24 if I'm not mistaken and Chris said they all know each other for almost a decade. Did she have a romantic relationship with a minor when she was an adult? Bruh...
Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Steph joined up with them much later on, about a year after the events of his 17th birthday. Those who had known each other for a decade was a reference to Linda(/Matt/Chris).
Thanks for replying. So the thing she did for her work was indeed dating a minor? Hahaha, damn dude by all means. I'm not here to judge or anything. I'm just here to enjoy the story, especially with Cece, Kira and Lexi.
spoiler alert for those that have yet to play this vn, do not read below!!
Let me first ask this, because I have played through this vn until the end of chapter 5. I saved Cece's life. We fell in love and then i sent her back to the mc's residence and he told her to wait for him there etc.
Is it possible to fall in love and date any of the other women? What about getting back with stephanie? He Tells chris he will always love her and they had sex just after the metro, mc tells stephanie he loves her (after she drags him back to her place and he ends up jumping out the window).
near the end of chapter 4, speaking to holly he suddenly doesn't love stephanie anymore (is the mc really that childish he has to come out with saying that? when he knows he stills loves her no matter what and would have his nuts cut off to be back with her imo) , that makes absolutely no sense at all..what makes even less sense is that when he meets her and she tells him everything, suddenly any love he has for as vanished into thin air?? I was hoping to go through a playthrough with both of them being back together again, but no matter what i do, it always ends the same way near the end with cece telling me to go and speak to stephanie..she is always there. what makes even less sense is, it seems to me at least, the mc always ends up with cece, unless i have done something wrong on each playthrough?
I really dont wanna waste time trying to fall in love and be with the other girls if its impossible. so is it possible or is cece the only one and all the rest are actually shallow fill in's?) I would really like the choice who i fall in love with, not be cajoled into being forced with cece no matter how beautiful she is, inside and out. If it is, then why dangle carrots on a string that are not obtainable, it just makes the game 1 time playable, with no replay value at all if thats really the case.
I am just trying to find out if the above is possible? coz i dont wanna go around in circles wasting hours for no reason if its not possible. I already have the save on cece for when the next chapter comes out.
You can select one of the other girls at the beginning of chapter 4 if you want to see their routes for this game. There is a total of 58 variation endings planned.
Steph is also a Love Interest if you play it right. I ended up with her on one of my playthroughs. Cece is my favorite, but I also like the story with Linda and Steph.
Is there a walkthrough do you know for this game, I think I would find it kind of tedious to repeatedly go through the same actions again and accidentally make silly choice mistakes only to end up back with Cece again. I do adore Cece, she is so adorable! I mean she might not exactly be the prettiest girl there, I do quite like Holly a lot too. Do you know if Holly is actually datable too?
I have a few more AVN's to go through, but I would like to replay this one again, and without a walkthrough, I hope I don't end up with the same conclusion hehe

You know, I'm very very impressed for the accuracy of how Cece is feeling. It's so on point in a lot of things and it actually brought back some memories.

Acting Lessons 9/10 Best
Savior (unfinished) 8/10 Awesome

Shadows over Manston sucks too hard. idk what made you overrate it. It has barely choices too

Holy Shit!, I wasn't expecting that ending at all I was crying when I finished it. Such a beautiful game I can't wait for Chapter 7 :)
I....I am speechless as I type this, the new update is so captivating and its impossible to not be emotionally invested in Cece, even from the start.
The final scenes had me in tears, kinda wish I stopped at the disclaimer as I've been there before.
I can't wait to see how the rest of the game plays out.
Man...I honestly don´t know what to say! This game was just beautiful. Your story telling was just pure art and all the characters were just perfect. Cece´s character is so lovely, but most times people with depression are the most caring ones for their friends. This game was something different. It was an emotional roller coaster for me.

Relax, it's just a game (plus the sudden pulse from the heartbeat monitor in the ends might hint something, idk)
its not in the creators hands if the viewer decides to still view the distressing scenes even when told NOT TO, if it reflects a personal matter. Also yeah people can be saved if the right person comes at the right time, but everyone's different. Some people just can't be saved (as heart-breaking as it is).

What a chapter. Really great writing.

I went and rewinded... It is not just a game, so thank you very much.
Is there a way to get Robin's pin code number to take control of her toy?
What am I missing?
When sitting down beside Cece (slightly before this) to comfort her, bring up your phone and send a message to her.
Afterwards, go through your Nuke app after the screens where Robin is dancing, right before Cece enters. Find the picture of Kira and search it for clues.When I text with CeCe, it ends with a hug, fade to black and then my date with Lexi pops up; Robin's dance sequence does not play. Where am I going wrong?
Hmm. I don't really know. This worked for me. Might be that somewhere previously in the game you indicated that you did not want Robin ?
you get it the pin from Kira's picture but you do it after Robin tells you she's going to go try her toy out. It will say I need to find her pin number. You pull up nuke and go to kira's picture. it's basically the numbers on robin's sn.
When the screen shows robin dancing after showing you the toy, and right before cece pops into view it says something on screen along the lines of "I wonder what her code is" (heavily paraphrased), go to Nuke and look for one of the pictures of Kira (i found on the one of her in the dress walking to your house) and theres the option to look at robins user name.
Thanks, I'll give it a go.
Now I'm heartbroken. But even more: I am sorry for your loss.
Why would you do that to me man? god dammit.
Man, screw you for making me cry. Keep up the good work, eagerly waiting for the next update
I REALLY HATE YOU! BURN IN HELL. I so often have to deal with those same emotions and this ending has so boosted them again. I knew how it would end but hoped I was wrong. But no!
First let me say I'm sorry for my beginning outburst. I'm a combat vet who saw way too many friends die and brought all that home with me. I still can't let that go even seeing psychiatrists all these years. I got into Leap of Faith cause it was showing me a happier side of side even though it wasn't real. But then I found myself so attached to CeCe cause her life, dark as it was, matched mine. Many times I wished I could have done want she final did. But her life seemed to be on a good track finally and seeing her just give up like that, I just totally broke down in disbelief. Why! Was all I could say. And if she could finally do it to get away from her demons then why not me. I really feel my struggles each and every day cause I see myself and it's hell! I'm trying hard not to think, but easier said than done. Strange that I would have a date coming up soon to see my psych, but I don't know what to say to her. You have written the most incredible story I have ever read but in a way I'm sorry I read it. My brain just was not ready for that mirror to look into. Again sorry and keep writing,
First of all, thank you very much for coming back with a followup comment. I absolutely applaud you. I can fully understand reactions to this chapter, although 99.9% of them are good. Leap of Faith is very much about feelings, or rather to feel. I do know that for some feelings are hard (if you read the text at the end), but I will do my utmost to make it up to you in the following chapter, and I hope that you will find peace with your demons and can live alongside them.
Secondly, did you notice the heartbeat at the very end of this chapter?
i shouldnt ignored the warning at the end. seriously guys, If you ever had a suicidal thoughts in your life you must skip chapter 6 end scene, its not a joke !
So i have Leap of Faith 5.1c , i downloaded the 6.1 and it tells me its a patch, what do i exactly do to play Chapter 6? I don't know how to really play otherwise, aka I'm clueless , any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Also, With the attempt to start a party, it says there are no songs available, what do I do there?
I've just tried launching the game and it comes back with error and when I wanna load my save file or press ignore it takes me back to chapter 1, I'm really annoyed because I really don't wanna go through the entire story again. It took me so long to get every girls happy ending up til chapter 6. what do I do?
the ending to chapter 6 was absolutely phenomenal man, really sensitive and touching end. can't wait for ch7, love the storyline, artwork and overall progression of this novel. 11/10
What does the heartbeat monitor mean?
its symbolising the fact that cece was "dying" or "dead" because it flatlined, but if you watch til the very end, there's an extra beat. probably meaning shes not fully under. We'll have to wait and see in chapter 7 though.
Dude you knocked this one out of the park again, best VN around.
Just hope Cece is ok as it is just a game like it says at the end, already looking forward to Ch 7.
WOWW chapter 6 completely fucked me up. What a great cliff hanger. Absolutely amazing I'd definitely say this story is in my top 3 and that your 100% going places. I don't know if you know who Dr. Pink Cake is, but he wrote 2 of my favorite visual novels and I'd definitely put you in the same top tier category as him. Can't wait for chapter 7. Great job!
YESS do it! It almost sort of resembles Acting Lessons. You'll see.
just saw your comment and wanted to look for Dr. Pink Cake but I cant find him here..
Dr. Pink Cake's visual novels are on steam and patreon.
what date does ep 6 go live publicly?
Just now! :)
thank you so much!
just finished the first chapter and im definitly enjoying this visual novel.
That was an amazing experience. Props for you guys, really top notch work.
The game has a really nice plot and great relatable characters, laughed, cried, felt happy and sometimes sad so it was really a unique rollercoaster.
Also, great selection on your OST, some songs really push the mood in certain scenes. Im curious to see where you take the story in the next chapters.
Hey, so I followed the download instructions but never had a overwrite prompt show up and when I do open it it's missing images/sound ect. Just hoping for a push in the right direction :)
Download both 0.4.5 and 0.5.1 and unzip both of them.
Navigate into the 0.5.1 unzipped folder until you see the executable LeapofFaith.exe.
Use CTRL+A to select all files and folders (including the game, renpy and lib folders) and CTRL+C to copy.
Navigate into the 0.4.5 unzipped folder until you see the executable LeapofFaith.exe
CTRL+V to paste the copied contents. You should be prompted with a "do you want to overwrite" for a lot of files. Click yes to overwrite.
Run the game from the 0.4.5 folder - which is now patched to 0.5.1 (should display so in the upper right hand corner of the main menu).
If this doesn't work for you, feel free to ask for more help should you need it. :)
just downloaded v0.5.1 and right from the the start there are missing screens even before you get to the menu and at the start of the V.N.
Due to my file limit here on Itch, I had to make chapter 5 into a patch - meaning it contains the chapter 5 images only.
In order to play 0.5.1 after downloading, unzip it and copy it into the 0.4.5 folder after unzipping (select overwrite when asked about it), then run 0.4.5 as you normally would. If the top right corner of the main menu screen shows 0.5.1, you've done it correctly.
I have made a post at the top of this page, also on the download page, and in addition to that I answered you message about three months ago when you asked the same question - if you scroll down a bit. :)
If you have problems patching, then you can download chapter 1-5 in one go at my patreon page:

(if you download chapter 1-5 in one go, install it anywhere. your saves are still intact).
Thanks a heap!! I believe I was only copying the game launcher file. Very new to pc gaming so thanks for the extra help! love the game so far :)
I rarely ever comment, but this game had me hooked from the get go. Such lovable characters, the scene and story building is wonderful. I am rarely emotionally invested in a VN character, but there are a few characters I really connected to in this story..
Awesome job, will be supporting your patreon as well. Can't wait for the update.
I just discovered Leap of Faith yesterday and I just had to leave this comment.
For anyone reading: This comment contains some major spoilers for one of the girls in the game.

I chose to focus on Cece in my playthrough because she just appealed to me the most from the get go and oh boy what a journey it has been so far. I am currently at Lexi's house just when Cece and MC have Sex for the first time and I just wanted to say Thank you for making this game. I am in a pretty rough spot in my life right now and seeing Cece's struggles and how MC and literally everybody loves her and helps her ... helps. I am bonding with her a lot and I can't wait to see how the story progresses. Also this is the first VN I am ever playing where the music really enhances and supports the gameplay. It is an excellent choice, the humor (like the bunny dancing / singing scenes) fits it perfectly and it is a really really great game so far. I will pledge to Patreon as soon as I am in a better spot financially because this game deserves way more praise and attention than it seems to be getting so far.
We don't know each other, but please stay safe and healthy Drifty, looking forward to all your future content. Have a good one.
Please can you tell us how long shall we wait for the chapter 6. Pleaseeeeeeese.
I've not gotten close enough to pinpoint a date yet, but it's coming along nicely.
I'm working on it every single day, so every day you have to wait is more content in the release.
Yes take your time , There is no rush.
Great character interactions, cute animations, and a great fun journey to follow through.
*Spoiler* Don't read if you haven't played the game yet

The one thing that keeps bugging me is Steph's age and her relationship with the MC. If the game takes place after 2 years Steph leaves the MC without contact, and right now she's 26, how old was she when she moved to the school? The main character is 24 if I'm not mistaken and Chris said they all know each other for almost a decade. Did she have a romantic relationship with a minor when she was an adult? Bruh...
Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Steph joined up with them much later on, about a year after the events of his 17th birthday. Those who had known each other for a decade was a reference to Linda(/Matt/Chris).
Thanks for replying. So the thing she did for her work was indeed dating a minor? Hahaha, damn dude by all means. I'm not here to judge or anything. I'm just here to enjoy the story, especially with Cece, Kira and Lexi.
jus' sayin', there are 28 games called leap of faith on this platform
spoiler alert for those that have yet to play this vn, do not read below!!
Let me first ask this, because I have played through this vn until the end of chapter 5. I saved Cece's life. We fell in love and then i sent her back to the mc's residence and he told her to wait for him there etc.
Is it possible to fall in love and date any of the other women? What about getting back with stephanie? He Tells chris he will always love her and they had sex just after the metro, mc tells stephanie he loves her (after she drags him back to her place and he ends up jumping out the window).
near the end of chapter 4, speaking to holly he suddenly doesn't love stephanie anymore (is the mc really that childish he has to come out with saying that? when he knows he stills loves her no matter what and would have his nuts cut off to be back with her imo) , that makes absolutely no sense at all..what makes even less sense is that when he meets her and she tells him everything, suddenly any love he has for as vanished into thin air?? I was hoping to go through a playthrough with both of them being back together again, but no matter what i do, it always ends the same way near the end with cece telling me to go and speak to stephanie..she is always there. what makes even less sense is, it seems to me at least, the mc always ends up with cece, unless i have done something wrong on each playthrough?
I really dont wanna waste time trying to fall in love and be with the other girls if its impossible. so is it possible or is cece the only one and all the rest are actually shallow fill in's?) I would really like the choice who i fall in love with, not be cajoled into being forced with cece no matter how beautiful she is, inside and out. If it is, then why dangle carrots on a string that are not obtainable, it just makes the game 1 time playable, with no replay value at all if thats really the case.
I am just trying to find out if the above is possible? coz i dont wanna go around in circles wasting hours for no reason if its not possible. I already have the save on cece for when the next chapter comes out.
You can select one of the other girls at the beginning of chapter 4 if you want to see their routes for this game. There is a total of 58 variation endings planned.
oh thanks! so does that actually mean you can fall in love with any of the girls (except steph) just like i did with cece in my first play through?
Steph is also a Love Interest if you play it right. I ended up with her on one of my playthroughs. Cece is my favorite, but I also like the story with Linda and Steph.
Is there a walkthrough do you know for this game, I think I would find it kind of tedious to repeatedly go through the same actions again and accidentally make silly choice mistakes only to end up back with Cece again. I do adore Cece, she is so adorable! I mean she might not exactly be the prettiest girl there, I do quite like Holly a lot too. Do you know if Holly is actually datable too?
I have a few more AVN's to go through, but I would like to replay this one again, and without a walkthrough, I hope I don't end up with the same conclusion hehe
