What Leap of Faith is
Leap of Faith is an adult visual novel from DriftyGames, the name GOG gives for both sides of its company line, and it is sold on GOG as Leap of Faith + Official Walkthrough. It is a paid, single-player game with English audio and text for Windows and Linux, made with the Ren'Py engine. It blends a story-heavy visual novel with a dating-sim structure: the player works through several romantic storylines instead of following one fixed path. GOG files it under Adventure, Narrative and Visual Novel, and its tags include Dating Sim, Choices Matter, Emotional and LGBTQ+.
The GOG edition bundles the game with an in-game walkthrough, which matters for a title whose content is not all reached by clicking through dialogue.
How it plays
The synopsis on the GOG page sets the starting point. The player character has spent 2 years wondering why his girlfriend left a seemingly perfect relationship out of the blue, and he finally decides to move forward. As he opens his eyes to the world, the page says, the world seems to open its eyes to him as well. Before long he has connected with 6 different women, all with their own stories to tell: one he saves from a horrible fate, a superstar pop singer, and even the returning ex-girlfriend. The synopsis calls the game the story of the journey the player takes with them, and it promises that choices and opportunities lead down a path the player never could have imagined.
The mechanics go a step beyond dialogue menus. In addition to the normal visual novel choice menus, the player has to use an in-game phone as a tool to explore opportunities, or even to discover them. The developer says outright that Leap of Faith does not offer every experience in it by advancing through dialogue alone, so a player who only presses forward will miss material. That is the main reason the walkthrough exists.
The official walkthrough is built into the game. It guides the player through all the choices, with hints for when to check the phone, when to activate bonus scenes, and how to get traits and reputation points with each character. That description also tells a reader how the game keeps score: each character has traits and reputation points to earn, and some scenes are bonus scenes that have to be triggered. The walkthrough also holds extra renders, animations and scenes that were judged not good enough for the final cut, and a developer commentary with goofs, mishaps and explanations for some of the scenes and events.
The page puts the game's scale in the developer's own terms: 12.500 static renders, over 85.000 animated frames in full HD and about 69.000 lines of source and dialogue. The description counts content and gives no length in hours.
Content and themes
Leap of Faith is an adult game. GOG labels it as mature content recommended only for ages 18+ and notes that it may be unsuitable for viewing at work. The tags are Mature, Sexual Content, Nudity and NSFW alongside Adventure, Indie, Story Rich, Choices Matter, Visual Novel, Narrative, Emotional, LGBTQ+ and Dating Sim.
The Dating Sim tag fits the synopsis: 6 romance interests, each with a storyline of her own, and a reputation score kept per character. The LGBTQ+ tag is the store's own and stands on the page as a tag only, with the synopsis written around the male lead and the women he meets. The Emotional and Narrative tags sit next to a premise about moving on after a breakup, and Story Rich and Choices Matter describe the same thing from the mechanical side: a long script in which decisions and phone activity decide which scenes are reached. The visuals are rendered images, described by the developer as static renders plus animated frames in full HD.
Platforms and where to get it
The game is sold on GOG, on the store page linked from this title. GOG says Leap of Faith + Official Walkthrough is officially supported on Windows and Linux, and its Works on line reads Windows, Linux. No macOS build is named for the game. The stated minimum requirements are Windows 7 or newer, a 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB of RAM, graphics compatible with OpenGL 2 and DirectX 9, and 8 GB of available storage. The recommended requirements are left blank.
The store's answer on DRM is that the game has none and can be played offline, and that GOG Galaxy is optional: a fully offline installer can be downloaded instead, while Galaxy handles achievements and cloud saves for those who use it. Cloud saves and Single-player are the two entries under the game's features, and the store advertises full refunds up to 30 days. The description also points players who want to support the developers and get access to exclusive content to Drifty's Patreon. The Patreon's tiers and prices are not on the GOG page.
Price and model
Leap of Faith is a paid game: one purchase on GOG covers the game and the in-game walkthrough together. The page describes a single product, with the walkthrough, the cut material and the developer commentary all inside that purchase. The Patreon is a separate channel for supporting the developer.
For that single product GOG's currency menu gives a choice of CHF, EUR and USD, and the amount shown follows the choice.
In October 2026 GOG's own user rating for the game is 4.6 out of 5 from 204 reviews.
Development state
In October 2026 GOG's product details file the game under 2022 and name DriftyGames as the company behind it. The page states no version number and no update date. What it describes is a fixed body of content, counted in renders, animated frames and lines of dialogue, with a walkthrough that covers all the choices in the game and holds material cut from the final version. A developer commentary on finished scenes and a "final cut" are the page's own words for where the project stands. For anything beyond the store release, the page's one pointer is the developer's Patreon.
Who it suits
Leap of Faith suits a player who wants a long, choice-driven adult visual novel with several parallel romance storylines, an emotional thread running through the premise, and a package that comes with its own walkthrough. The phone mechanic gives it more to do than reading, and the walkthrough keeps a completionist run from turning into guesswork. It also suits Linux players, since the store names Linux support beside Windows, and anyone who prefers an offline installer without a launcher.
The caveats are straightforward. The game is in English only on GOG, and Windows and Linux are the only systems the store names. Some content sits behind phone interactions and bonus triggers, so a player who ignores the phone and the walkthrough can miss scenes. The exclusive content mentioned on the page sits on Patreon and is separate from the store purchase. Players who want mechanics beyond choosing, such as management or combat, will find a game built around reading, deciding and checking the phone.
