Recommend this, it’s really great.

Fun game. I have Sister Lust on Steam and really liked it (Bella 4 Lyfe, YO!). This is very good quality also so far, so I think you're on the way to making another winner. Unless I'm doing it wrong it looks like it's not as "twisted" as SL was, unless you think banging aliens is twisted. 

Definitely, thanks a bunch for the tip. If you know others like this, I'm definitely game to hear about them. I really enjoyed Bad Memories so far too, not sure if you tried that one. 

I just finished my first play (of probably many to come) for Leap of Faith. I have a really great feeling about this game. The best adult VN (or I guess, any VN to be honest) that I've played before was Acting Lessons. And don't get me wrong, that's a fantastic game. But wow, I'm very, very happy about Leap of Faith so far. It's similar to AL but it's got its own vibe. Its a story first, hot action second, and that's what makes it great. I'm very excited to see chapter 3 now, the ending of chapter 2 was amazing. I'm off to check out the patreon now... heh.

Just finished playing everything that was implemented so far, I think. The graphics and animations for this are probably the best I've seen yet in an adult VN. Extremely hot also. At first when I did the prologue I wasn't too sure I was going to like the fairy parts of this, but wow, that turned out really great for this latest release. The story so far seems OK, there's a lot of different girls and that's good, looking forward to going further with the main characters I think. Definitely will keep an eye out for more updates.

OK Well I've just finished first play through up through Ep6 so I figured I'd give some hopefully constructive feedback. Please do not take offense at anything I mention here that I do not like. For one thing, it's your art, your game, and opinions are like a**h****, everyone has one. I do hope anything negative I write here is taken as meant to be constructive and not overly critical. Overall I'm very impressed with this VN so far, and I realize it's still a work in progress.
  
Characters - Love most of them. Emily especially. She's an absolute doll. The characters express realistic emotion and are relatable. This doesn't really even feel like a porn game, at least not in the route I'm taking, it feels more like a Rated R drama movie to me. That's not a bad thing, actually, I think it's great that you want to write a story about people who aren't porn stars who act like real people. That's very cool and appreciated.

I really dislike Ash in the current way I've managed that relationship, she just comes off as a jealous, manipulative, friend-(ab)using "Queen B" for reals. I may try to replay again to get on her good side at the cost of probably Emily's friendship but just to see if I hate her completely or just when on the Em road. At any rate, KUDOS for actually making me feel something in a VN, even if it's hate, it's an emotion, and that means your writing has impact.

Samantha - smoking hot MILF with a heart of gold, what's not to love about her? Was really hoping for a "Mommy dearest" thing with her, but so far I have failed. Will definitely be trying for that in another run.

I was OK with the main character, maybe even he was likable, up until Ep6. Then he got too over the top in trying to be cute/funny/charming. In my version so far, he's for all I know still a virgin, but he acts like he's Casanova. It is kind of starting to get irritating, like he has to make some kind of flirty or funny response to everything, even when it's completely inappropriate. 

Also if a character flat out asks the MC a question, that should have to get at least get a "doesn't matter" response from the player. In other words, if you're going to railroad the plot, at least fool me into thinking I'm making the choice, even if all the choices lead to the same spot. I get that this game is not yet complete, and my advice to make it better would be to concentrate on adding some more choices for the player to make to keep them glued to the story. Even if those are actually choices that do not matter to the plot.

And sometimes more choices do matter. Like for example, at the hospital scene when talking to the doctor there is no freakin' way that I would have ever chosen to take her along with us on the lunch date with Emily.  In fact when he agrees to let her tag along I was yelling at my monitor "NO, you IDIOT!" First of all, even if he is romantically interested in the doctor, when he's out with Emily she should be his focus. I would expect at this stage in Em & MC's relationship (in my playthrough) he'd be dying for a chance to get her alone away from the other characters for a conversation that actually means something. At least, that's what I was hoping for.

Relationships - these feel pretty realistic. A few feel a bit glossed over a bit, like Lou I've spent a total of maybe an hour of time with but we're best buddies. That's fine, I'm not playing this for a bromance, but it did feel like he warmed up to MC a bit too easily. The writing for most of the relationship stuff has been excellent. It feels like Emily has a real connection with MC but is afraid to express her true feelings. If I can read that much emotion into writing on a screen, well, you've accomplished your goal, I think!

Artwork - absolutely fantastic. This is some of the best quality VN art I've seen before. Definitely doing A+ work on this department.

Sound - Really good, loving most of the music background, and especially that opening song at the main menu, that sets the tone perfectly.  Some of the sound effects have been great also.

Story - Feels a bit like it's stalling out at this point, to be honest. I guess I'm accustomed to stories in this kind of game moving at Cheetah (Cheater?) speed, but this one is moving along at its own pace. It's not boring, don't get me wrong, but I think something needs to change in Episode 7 or it's going to feel too drawn out. I think when I play through again I'm going to pick different choices and see how fast the pace goes on other routes, it may just be the route I've chosen.

Overall - This is a superb work of interactive fiction in the making. I really feel like this could truly be a great game. It is definitely quality work so far. Really looking forward to more, and I'll check out your Patreon soon as well.

TL/DR:
Recommend adding more choices for the player, even if they aren't real choices at all (ones that branch the story). 
Recommend speeding up the pacing for the rest of the story.
Recommend making the MC less of a wanna-be ladies-man and a bit more serious, at least with Emily.
Less dick shots, more bush. :)

Thanks for reading all of this if you managed to do that, haha. Congrats on making something worth talking about! :)

I'm hoping these are placemarkers for actual choices to be added at some point?

Thanks!

Seconded, that song is amazing. I haven't even started playing yet and I already love this game.

This is the first VN to give me real hope for the genre since Acting Lessons. The characters seem real, the story is realistic and very intriguing and very A.O. The MC (male anyway) is a complete douche IMHO and even though I'm sure he has his justifications for his actions, he's a real piece of work. Quite honestly, if this all blows up in his face I would actually be happy. Of course, in a few of the cases I chose to be the douche, so maybe it's self-loathing talking. But what he has been doing to Rachel really hits a nerve for me, because of loved ones in my life who have had to be on psychiatric medication. I get his justification, but damn. That's cold. As for the therapist, I think he's giving her exactly what she wants, she just wants something she is too afraid to tell herself she wants. I'm hooked, either way, so really looking forward to the rest of Bad Memories, great job!
