I dont know a better way to reach out to the author. Dont know if he will even read it, but thank you. It really sneaked up on me to be honest. It came out of the blue for me as well, its good to remember but you took the extra step. Thank you, well done.
This game has such an amazing and involving story line. Each and every character has a unique personality. You can tell Drifty put a lot of time and care into developing this game..
I felt every emotion one could feel while playing this game. It hits hard, gets real deep and explores areas of our emotions most Devs are too afraid to go.
It's dark, quirky, sexy and fun all in one.
I cannot wait for the next update, and I plan on becoming a patreon as soon as I get paid next.
thank you for an amazing story drifty, can't wait to see where this goes next.
I just wanted to say that I've never been hit by a game so hard and that I admire you for having enough strength to make a game about a subject that is so painful for someone who has seen it at first hand, I wish you strength through out the following years and hope you won't ever have to experience something like this again. I was already kind of spoiled about Cece dying to a lack of spoiler warnings but the end credit scene wasn't expected at all. That a loving parent has to see their daughter do this to themselves is the worst thing ever and I can't imagine how hard it must've been to cope with it and then to also make a game where you discuss such a horrible subject.
This game really hit close to home. I had a girlfriend who took her life a few years back. I wasn't able to save her. The funny thing is, is that she looked almost exactly like Cece. So I went that route, trying to simulate a universe where she would have lived instead. Episode 6...really hit me hard though. Was not expecting it. The trailer for episode 7 helped a bit, but man I got to hand it to you. You made me feel feelings I haven't come to terms with in a VERY long time. This story is top notch and I look forward to seeing the completed story.
Drifty, I feel what you were trying to communicate with this story. And honestly, thank you.
I Downloaded this game today and also finished chapter 6 today. What can I say about the ending, I was speaking to my self like I was shouting "NO"
and then i burst out in tears, I was litterally crying felt so bad
Anyway the game is amazing 10 out of 10 amazing job to all the developers
I can't really explain how good this game is. Hope we get chapter 7 soon
I can't wait (pls release it soon :-). I did not haave that many sex scenes cause I don't care about that I just love visual novels(I am basically into the story than the sex). And after playing this ofc it's on my top 5 AMZING JOB AGAIN! to everyone that worked to make this game so good. Also I want to ask if there is a way to get a different ending but I guess this not a good question since I saw the sneak peak on chapter 7(no spoilers).I also want to say that I went with LEXI as me girlfriend I mean one and only girlfriend. It was between her,CECE and STEPH after the story she told you (again no spoilers) damn man i still think the story now that I am writing this comment and I feel like crying
Thanks so much to all the drifty team that worked so hard making this amazing game and story (I am emphasizing on hard since I was trying to make aa similar project, but it did not work out in the end)
Anyway I don't want to make this comment so long so I'll just say AGAIN AMAZING WORK to all the DRIFTY TEAM (hope you release chapter 7 soon I can't wait tio see this amazing story continue)
Just finished Chapter 6 last night and oh boy I cried, even today when I replay ending part I still cry... Great story and the background songs were spot on! By the way, do anybody know the title of the song(last part) when Chris/James is texting everybody what happened to Cece? Thanks a lot DriftyGames for sharing such great story!
Wow...just wow. Reduced to tears last night to where my wife ran to me to make sure I was OK. She was first skeptical about crying over a game, got her to sit down with me to replay the final chapter and she understood at that point as she is much more emotional than I am.
One question I thought about last night, is there a way to select Holly? I saw in a walkthrough that you can buy cigarettes for her on the pier I guess but I can't seem to get that option to open up (maybe because I select That's a bad habit when I see her on the balcony?).
I just finished my first playthrough and was really impressed. Honestly wasn't expecting this level of writing quality from an adult VN. I pretty much skipped the later adult scenes to get back to the plot and characters.
It's really amazing how well you are able to balance humour, tragedy and love in this. Do you have any plans for how long you want the final product to be?
...So I've just finished the game a 4th time. Honestly I wasn't expecting the bomb you delivered to us all. Imho it's outstandingly written and I really mean it. The way bonds are evolving among characters, the thin line that divides final results. The outcome of your choices, the facts, moral aspects, events all... This might read a lil' fluffy but honestly, it's the 4th time in 3 days I cry. I felt totally connected, specially when you start to read between the behavioral lines of every character. I really like funny sex games, and I really enjoy sex games with some well written script BUT wholeheartedly I really LOVED LoF so I want to congratulate you for your hard work, exquisite pen & paper skills, the coding and even the rendering. Wish you (and your beloved ones) just the best, I thank you and I'll be following your brilliant work.
holy fuck this game is 150 percent worth downloading heck its worth going to patron and purchasing straight from Drifty as its got it all, warning emotions can go far with how well written the characters in this amazing story, just finished the entire game from 1-6 on ceces storyline, and all I can say is JEEEZ THIS WAS POWERFUL, from the amazing choices in music to the goofy and relatable actions and dialogue the mc uses my personal favorite was the helping out at the burger shop scene when u reach it you will know why "love ya Sam'' and I really enjoyed all scenes in this entire storyline, cant wait to try out the other scenes with the other characters storylines.
will def be supporting Drifty for the future chapters when they come out
cant wait for chapter 7 and 8
thanks for amazing journey through this virtual world
this is the first time I have commented on anything from here. I want people to play this game because its good. not just good with the sex and girls. But the emotion is their and it should be experienced. I know this sounds odd but honestly you made the first game of this genre that I don't want to play again to see the different paths. When it came to the branching choices I chose Cece but around half way through chapter 4 I did the typical thing that I do and went and reset to try and optimize my choices better (a bad habit of mine I know) and doing so I said "what the hell lets switch" and I picked a different path. Then came the ending. I don't want to spoil for anyone so if your reading this and haven't finished the game stop. But that ending made me feel guilty about that spur of the moment choice. I know in my head that had I stayed down the same path I would have meet that same end. But media has always touched me emotionally and damn that was some good hurt. keep up everything your doing and I hope your doing ok. I'm sure their is someone out there seeing that sunset and thinking of you.
Thank you for such a great game. When I downloaded this I wasn't really sure what I was getting into...but I just cried my little heart out last night. I haven't done that in so long. Thank you.
You just surpassed top 2 of the VNs in my list with this one. Those top 2 were Acting lessons and Summer's gone. And I'm sorry for your loss. Life really sucks, sometimes.
I think I have successfully glued together the old and new binaries, but I’m missing my previous save after completing chapter 4 or 5... Is there a save file I can download & use to begin at chapter 5 or 6? thanks in advance
I might actually track you down and beat the heck out of you for this... OK, I'm just joking. But it hurts, man. FU though, lol. (Great game, entertaining, well written, great characters, but still... FU. The pain was real!)
I'm at a loss of words... So far this has been truly wonderful.. I cannot wait for the nest installment of this. Thank you Drifty for this story. It is truly something amazing.
So I've got 4 different plays going at the same time...one for Cece, Linda, Lexi and then the fun couple. My favorite so far emotionally is Cece. I just love her whole story. Not the biggest fan of Steph. The renders are awesome all around. Just finished chapter 4 with Cece and Robin/Kira. My favorite, unexpectancy is with Lexi...you will know exactly what I am talking about when it happens. I really can't even begin to explain how great the story writing has been for every character. Really excited to start Ch.5, but I have to complete Linda and Lexi Ch.4 first.
Were you not disappointed, no interactive three ways with Lexi and Holly and Kia and Robin? And a very poor ending for Linda, too, considering the story. That is all that has spoiled it a little for me. I think the dev knew most would go for Lexi or Cece in their first play though, so put all the effort into those two, not so much anyone else!
5 bucks to you for a great storyline. I can totally relate. It's more of a Love Novel than Hardcore Porn Novel and that's exactly what I'm looking for. Looking forward to the whole story.
Amazing game, engaging characters that just draw you in and make you really care about them. The choices feel impactful because of how engaging the characters are. The story so far is great if you don't mind a bit of a tear jerker but absolutely 100% worth playing and supporting.
Great game so far! I will say I noticed about a dozen typos in my playthrough and I'm curious why Cece is the only white girl that doesn't have a super dark tan? Even her siblings are dark. Maybe just the program... I am very sorry to hear about your daughter but I must ask why would you choose the medium of an erotic game to tell this story? Hopefully she is not too based on her, that would make the sex scenes kind of awkward. Lastly could we at some point get an option to disable/skip the girl on girl stuff? It feels a little forced and awkward. But still great game! Looking forward to Ceces recovery. Going to do a Lexi play through next
My comment was not, "OMG DELETE THE BLACK CHICK" It was Why is Cece the only light skinned person besides possibly Robin. But Cece's 2 younger siblings unless they are adopted look nothing like her. It was a question of was it a choice or is it the program that is making everyone appear like they live in tanning beds. (Looking at you Lexi, she has that Trump orange look going)
wow. when I bought leap of faith I was not expecting this, It is very well done in my opinion. It is a very difficult subject to broach, everyone goes through different emotions when faced with similar feelings to CECE, I know I did going back many years ago, thankfully I came through the other side, occasionally I get small moments even now. Playing this was both rewarding and upsetting. after ch5, I thought she's a bit more relaxed but as can be the case it's not that simple. I have got to say all the other main characters were just as well written, each with their own insecurities. So thankyou to the developers for making such a powerful game, I look forward to seeing how CECE'S friends cope, and remembering what a unique character she was, and will be following dev's progress. Also I bought the full game on itch, had trouble loading ch5-6. so went to downloaded full game from patreon all saves were there.
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

I dont know a better way to reach out to the author. Dont know if he will even read it, but thank you. It really sneaked up on me to be honest. It came out of the blue for me as well, its good to remember but you took the extra step. Thank you, well done.
Great game, but I'm having trouble applying the update on a mac. Can someone explain how to apply the patch on mac os? It's not as easy like on pc.
So no Android
This game has such an amazing and involving story line. Each and every character has a unique personality. You can tell Drifty put a lot of time and care into developing this game..
I felt every emotion one could feel while playing this game. It hits hard, gets real deep and explores areas of our emotions most Devs are too afraid to go.

Suicide is a real problem. Take it seriously or suffer the consequences. Don't ever forget to show a loved one how much you truly feel. Great game 5/5
This game really hit close to home. I had a girlfriend who took her life a few years back. I wasn't able to save her. The funny thing is, is that she looked almost exactly like Cece. So I went that route, trying to simulate a universe where she would have lived instead. Episode 6...really hit me hard though. Was not expecting it.

This story is top notch and I look forward to seeing the completed story.
Drifty, I feel what you were trying to communicate with this story. And honestly, thank you.

Anyway the game is amazing 10 out of 10 amazing job to all the developers
I can't really explain how good this game is. Hope we get chapter 7 soon
I can't wait (pls release it soon :-). I did not haave that many sex scenes cause I don't care about that I just love visual novels(I am basically into the story than the sex). And after playing this ofc it's on my top 5 AMZING JOB AGAIN! to everyone that worked to make this game so good. Also I want to ask if there is a way to get a different ending but I guess this not a good question since I saw the sneak peak on chapter 7(no spoilers).I also want to say that I went with LEXI as me girlfriend I mean one and only girlfriend.

Thanks so much to all the drifty team that worked so hard making this amazing game and story (I am emphasizing on hard since I was trying to make aa similar project, but it did not work out in the end)
Anyway I don't want to make this comment so long so I'll just say AGAIN AMAZING WORK to all the DRIFTY TEAM (hope you release chapter 7 soon I can't wait tio see this amazing story continue)
More than 100% recommended to check out this game
In chapter 3 I can't get to choose any song, can someone help me? After I connect to external speakers it says "no song available" :(
a little old but you have to download Lexi's songs to your phone then you can connect to the speakers.
Just finished Chapter 6 last night and oh boy I cried, even today when I replay ending part I still cry... Great story and the background songs were spot on! By the way, do anybody know the title of the song(last part) when Chris/James is texting everybody what happened to Cece? Thanks a lot DriftyGames for sharing such great story!
Wow...just wow. Reduced to tears last night to where my wife ran to me to make sure I was OK. She was first skeptical about crying over a game, got her to sit down with me to replay the final chapter and she understood at that point as she is much more emotional than I am.
One question I thought about last night, is there a way to select Holly? I saw in a walkthrough that you can buy cigarettes for her on the pier I guess but I can't seem to get that option to open up (maybe because I select That's a bad habit when I see her on the balcony?).

It's really amazing how well you are able to balance humour, tragedy and love in this. Do you have any plans for how long you want the final product to be?
Thank you!
And the completed Leap of Faith will consist of 8 chapters total. Just a few more to go now.
...So I've just finished the game a 4th time.
Honestly I wasn't expecting the bomb you delivered to us all.
Imho it's outstandingly written and I really mean it. The way bonds are evolving among characters, the thin line that divides final results. The outcome of your choices, the facts, moral aspects, events all...
This might read a lil' fluffy but honestly, it's the 4th time in 3 days I cry.
I felt totally connected, specially when you start to read between the behavioral lines of every character.

will def be supporting Drifty for the future chapters when they come out
cant wait for chapter 7 and 8
thanks for amazing journey through this virtual world

You just surpassed top 2 of the VNs in my list with this one. Those top 2 were Acting lessons and Summer's gone. And I'm sorry for your loss. Life really sucks, sometimes.
I like this game so far quite a lot. You can clearly see the great amount of hard work and passion in this, and I appreciate that very much!
One thing, i coundn't get the Plane Party starting. I think were is a missing If-statment. Check script03 line 3646.
Otherwise, like i said great job!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. :)
The if statement is in the phone app, not the script. Check the music app before heading off to the airport.
Ah thanks for the hint. I definetly gona check this out. :-)
I think I have successfully glued together the old and new binaries, but I’m missing my previous save after completing chapter 4 or 5... Is there a save file I can download & use to begin at chapter 5 or 6? thanks in advance
I might actually track you down and beat the heck out of you for this... OK, I'm just joking. But it hurts, man. FU though, lol. (Great game, entertaining, well written, great characters, but still... FU. The pain was real!)
I'm at a loss of words... So far this has been truly wonderful.. I cannot wait for the nest installment of this. Thank you Drifty for this story. It is truly something amazing.
Might just be the most touching and beautiful story line. The revelation at the end ... : ( was unexpected. I am so sorry for the loss.
So I've got 4 different plays going at the same time...one for Cece, Linda, Lexi and then the fun couple. My favorite so far emotionally is Cece. I just love her whole story. Not the biggest fan of Steph. The renders are awesome all around. Just finished chapter 4 with Cece and Robin/Kira. My favorite, unexpectancy is with Lexi...you will know exactly what I am talking about when it happens. I really can't even begin to explain how great the story writing has been for every character. Really excited to start Ch.5, but I have to complete Linda and Lexi Ch.4 first.
I did the same. A different play for each.
Were you not disappointed, no interactive three ways with Lexi and Holly and Kia and Robin? And a very poor ending for Linda, too, considering the story. That is all that has spoiled it a little for me. I think the dev knew most would go for Lexi or Cece in their first play though, so put all the effort into those two, not so much anyone else!
I didn't know what to expect for Chapter 6. But oh my God.
Thank you for this story, Drifty. Just... thank you.
5 bucks to you for a great storyline. I can totally relate. It's more of a Love Novel than Hardcore Porn Novel and that's exactly what I'm looking for. Looking forward to the whole story.
Thanks Mate
You fucking shakespeares! Loved the plot so far. You guys are doing it well.
Amazing game, engaging characters that just draw you in and make you really care about them. The choices feel impactful because of how engaging the characters are. The story so far is great if you don't mind a bit of a tear jerker but absolutely 100% worth playing and supporting.
Great game so far! I will say I noticed about a dozen typos in my playthrough and I'm curious why Cece is the only white girl that doesn't have a super dark tan? Even her siblings are dark. Maybe just the program... I am very sorry to hear about your daughter but I must ask why would you choose the medium of an erotic game to tell this story? Hopefully she is not too based on her, that would make the sex scenes kind of awkward. Lastly could we at some point get an option to disable/skip the girl on girl stuff? It feels a little forced and awkward. But still great game! Looking forward to Ceces recovery. Going to do a Lexi play through next
wow how to spot a racist
My comment was not, "OMG DELETE THE BLACK CHICK" It was Why is Cece the only light skinned person besides possibly Robin. But Cece's 2 younger siblings unless they are adopted look nothing like her. It was a question of was it a choice or is it the program that is making everyone appear like they live in tanning beds. (Looking at you Lexi, she has that Trump orange look going)
some people are just fair skinned or pale skin or porcelain skin and though don't tan, they burn.
wow, amazing story. thank you Drifty.
love it, to quote the ending (it's just a game). It's not, it's more than that, can't wait
Fuck me, I was not expecting that sucker punch. A beautiful peice that conveys an important story with care and love.
Might stop crying in a bit.
7/10 so far. Hey when is Episode 7 going to cum out
ep 6* - they released the trailer, so soon. also its 'come' my dude
No, i already played chapter 6. I am talking about chapter 7
wow. when I bought leap of faith I was not expecting this, It is very well done in my opinion. It is a very difficult subject to broach, everyone goes through different emotions when faced with similar feelings to CECE, I know I did going back many years ago, thankfully I came through the other side, occasionally I get small moments even now.

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:
Acting Lessons 9/10 Best
Savior (unfinished) 8/10 Awesome
City of Unbroken Dreams 7/10 Very good
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.
Shadows over Manston sucks too hard. idk what made you overrate it. It has barely choices too
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
