Leap of Faith
Romance, Drama, Comedy · by DriftyGames · 2022
Two years after his girlfriend vanished from a perfect relationship without a word, a young man finally lets life back in and finds six very different women in it.
Who it's for: Adults who like modern-day romance VNs with a big cast, humor and a serious emotional thread.
The story (spoiler-free)
The game opens on a man who still does not know why his girlfriend walked out on him. When he finally decides to stop waiting, things start happening: a stranger he helps out of a bad situation, a famous pop singer, old friends, and eventually the ex herself, back with questions of her own.
Most of the runtime is spent getting to know six women and the friends around them, with plenty of banter and comedy. Underneath that is a more serious story about depression, which the developer flags up front. Besides the usual dialogue choices, an in-game phone lets you message people and find opportunities you would otherwise miss.
You can focus on one relationship or let several grow at once, and your choices lead to different endings. The story is finished in eight chapters. The free itch.io demo covers chapters 1-4, so it shows the setup and the cast but stops around the halfway point.
