The Story

"Chasing Sunsets" follows the rapprochement of estranged step-siblings after the untimely deaths of their parents.   The player will navigate relationships and work to gradually uncover deeper events that link the sub-plots together.

The game is intended to be released in 11 total installments, including the Prologue.  Development is at approximately the 85% point as Chapter 8 (ver 0.9) released on May 6 2023.

The Game 

Stone Fox Studios has taken a story-forward approach with high render density with higher-than-usual production values to deliver among the most cinematic experiences in the visual novel genre.   In addition to quality art, we have integrated over 80 songs and hundreds of sound effects to round out the player experience.

We have included a number of premium features, such as over 100 in-game achievements, a scene gallery, image gallery, phone system, and soundtrack player.

The consequences of the choices you make will be reflected in a real-time point tracker, and summarized at the end of each chapter with an update on how you did and how it has impacted the people around you.

The Development Team

While this is Kentyrr and Stoya's first creative effort, Chasing Sunsets has been incredibly well-received by the adult game community.   Their focus on delivering quality and focusing on creating more realistic and organic relationships between primary characters has become their trademark style.

what software are you using to create this game? 

Also, i lost my shit at the Artemis reference

Wonderful Story.  So ready for more.  Cameos are great.  But seriously, Turner & Hooch??   Nice one.

Can't wait for more of this! Loved the Lexi cameo and made the connection to Jaye's cameo in Leap of Faith. Great story with great characters that really immerses you into the world. Definitely in my top 10 visual novels!

Hello Studios stone fox, please tell me in what month and on what date the next update of your game will be released

Holy Crap! The "Emperor's New Groove" reference!!!!!

Also, I knew my wife was the one when she said, "I know." when I told her I loved her.

Hello Stone fox studios please tell me when you will finish your game, it’s just very interesting and I would like to know when the final episode will be

Our expectation is to finish this year.   Chapter 9 in the first half and the final Chapter 10 in the second half.

After that we will release an update that addresses some early quality issues with the art and animations.

We have also discussed adding a free DLC at some point that looks at the protagonists' outcomes a few years down the road after the ending.

2025 is when we expect to be focusing on our second game, Firebreak.

Can you share what Firebreak's general plot will be about?

The dev does NOT support JoiPlay. There is a render issue with joiplay/ren'py and it won't run.  

(2 edits)

Well, who ever said that Android was supported in any way or even with an emulator?
And if there was a bug, why not post a bug report?

I am wondering, is this game broken up into chapters?  If so if I pay the money here, will I get access to all the chapters?

(+1)

Yes, purchasing here grants access to all future chapters as well.

Great!!


Hello, please tell me how to return the quick menu in the porn game Chasing sunsets, it disappears when Jay tells the main character that their parents died and everything after that the quick menu disappears and no longer appears, but instead a black bar appears on the android version without the quick menu play this the game is impossible please tell me how to solve this problem

There is no android version of this game.

(1 edit)

I just finished up to Chapter 7 and......im left speechless. I thought i had my list together of favorite developers and adult VNs but Chasing Sunsets has left me re-evaluating everything and set a bar so high that it literally isn't fair. The renders are amazing and the writing is publishing house quality. While everyone is waiting on the completion of this VN, I'm over here anxiously anticipating what Stone Fox Studios will do next! Kudos!

Thank you for the kind words!

That's why we do it!

There will be a pregnancy in the game and will it be possible to have the same relationship with Lisa Tara Biankoi and Tanaka as with Mallory and Jay?

Если вы уже спрашивали, извините, но могу ли я спросить

Hello, a very good interesting game, we are very much waiting for the continuation

(+1)

Hi.

Because Steam blocked the store pages of adult games in Germany but allowed to activate a Steam key of these games, is it possible to get a Steam key, when I buy it here?

(+1)

Send an email to support@stonefoxstudios.net and our naughty secretary will see if we have any keys left.   She'll want you to be able to prove your Itch purchase, though.   Keep in mind, the Steam and Non-Steam binaries are slightly different, so your saves wouldn't carry over.

Hi.

I sent an email but i didn't get an answer.

Check your mail.

Hi.
Sorry i didn't receive an email. Should I resend my email?

If the domain you sent the email from ends in "rcor.de" then we would have to find another method to communicate with you, if you don't see an email in your junk or spam folders.

И ещё с Лизой будешь тоже добавлять отношения или с неи не планируешь?

Привет можно спросить ты добавишь в игру  отношения с подругой его сестры и ещё в игре будет ещё немного драк с кем кем-нибудь?

Hello Stone fox studios please tell me when you plan to finish this game completely l would like to khow the date 

(+1)

Solid game overall good plot story moments and renders keep up the good work cant wait for chapter 8

(2 edits) (+1)(-1)

So I gave this game a chance after reading the reviews.
Its an ok game, not great not bad, just ok. The story isn’t really that interesting, siblings have a falling out and reunite after parents death and find out their parents are really rich. The character models and animation are good.
The MC is a pretty bland character who struggle to talk to the opposite sex and who all acts like he the greatest thing to happen to women. 

There are choices but they really don't mean much, you can't stop yourself from having sex with certain people, however you can choose to be nice or mean. 

2/5

(+2)

Minor correction...The story is told from the perspective of past and present.   Sex that happens in the past is considered "established history," so player's don't always have a choice.

In the present timeline, the player ALWAYS has a choice.

If you don't mind of course

It will be possible to add more politics and fights in the new version

And more relationship with his sister and Mallory

Ок спасибо

Hello, wasn't part 8 already released earlier?

Hello good game you can find out when there will be a new part?

The work on Ch.8 has just begun. I wouldn't expect it earlier than by the end of November.

Hello, wasn't part 8 already released earlier

(1 edit)

No. Latest release is Ch.7.

I purchased this game a year ago and have anxiously awaited each update.

Will the remaining chapters be available through Itch.io? I hope so. Or will Steam keys be offered?

We will continue to offer updates to the game here for paid customers until the game is complete, even if we discontinue sales on this platform.

If that fails, Steam keys are one potential remedy.

I cannot tell you how much I absolutely enjoyed this. You folks are extremely talented storytellers. The way your scenes are set, the narration, the buildup, not to mention the art and animations.......it's masterful work. You guys really, really have a nack for storytelling. I do want to find out if you folks have a Patreon or Discord community because we need to support talents like yourselves so we can continue to enjoy your works. 

I have had problems with script error messages in the Steam version which seems to be related to Steam achievements. It's a minor bother. If I could make one suggestion (not a complaint by any stretch), it would be this. The painstaking detail you guys use to weave the erotic scenes is palpable mostly because of the narration & dialog. However, the kissing scenes really don't seem to match the tale of what's happening at the time. Perhaps this is a limitation of the engine being used. For example, you have a moment like that in this most recent Chapter (7) between Alex and Jaye. The hunger and desire being told at the time isn't being done any justice by the paltry visualization of the kissing. In real life, two people with that sort of hunger would be wrapped in deep kisses for a long period. You could see in their faces. But unfortunately, all we see are what seem to just be pecks and maybe the tips of tongues touching each other. If its possible to better illustrate the kind of hungry, passionate kisses that your narration is weaving, please look into that. I don't want to have to imagine it in my own mind because what I'm seeing doesn't really match it. If it is a limitation of the engine, then please disregard. I can imagine how badly you might wish you could do such things in that circumstance. This is just such a masterful work; I would love to see it illustrated to match what the words & music are telling. 

This is some of the best work I've ever beheld in an AVP and I truly hope to be able to see more. Thank you for sharing this vision with us :) 

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement.

For the script errors on Steam, you can usually correct these by going to "Settings > Help > Clear Persistence. "   This will restart the game, but correct any mis-aligned achievements and unlocks.

Let me know if that works for you.   You can find us on Patreon here.

damn such a good story i really cannot wait to see what happens in chapter 8

I cant seem to download Ch.7. I purchased the game a while ago, but when I click the download button, it just brings me to a We Homepage. 

Same issue here.  I purchased a while ago but when I go to download with the link, it doesn't have a download.  Also, I tried emailing the support link but got "Your message wasn't delivered to support@stonefoxstudios.net because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail." from Gmail.  Is this dead?

(1 edit)

Mirrors for both PC and Mac should be updated and functional now.   Let me know if they are not!

The first link goes to a WeTransfer page, the mirror allows you to download it.

is this an harem or one girl kinda deal?

Looks incredible!

(+1)

My Patreon subscription is over and I couldn't ask you this 😑😑 According to the texts you posted on Patreon, this game will end in 4 or 5 more updates. Is it possible that there will be Chasing Sunsets 2 or not? Because this game and the characters are absolutely perfect and I don't think it is right to end this game completely

(+2)

Kentyrr and I are discussing our next project now.

This story will end in a few updates, but we hope that won't be it for some of our favorite characters.   We would certainly like any future projects to take place in the same universe at least!

When we decide on our follow-up project, we'll announce it on the AVN_Lovers Reddit as well as our supporter platforms.

The whole squad will be there 

So not a good start. Unfortunately, when trying to extract the folder to my HD, it's failing a CRC check. Tried redownloading, but no good. File issue?

(1 edit)

Sorry to hear that.   This is the first complaint of that nature we've received.   I will test the link on my PC, and potentially reupload another binary zipped with another program.

Can you confirm this is the PC version we're talking about here?

**Update**  I'm unable to replicate this behavior.   Did you end up running into a quote issue with Mega?   Please send an email to "support@stonefoxstudios.net" referencing this post, and I'll send you an alternative download link.

Thanks!

(+1)

Thanks. I did another download in a different browser and finally got a good one. Great game, BTW. I love the reference to Lexi from LoF :)

(+1)

Glad to hear it...Been frantically checking the support email for the past few days hoping I didn't miss your request!

(1 edit)

Ok!! I'm sorry for posting yet again, but you devs are really something else!

You lure me in with an awesome story, and more than my money's worth in content, and still has more coming. And now I was just about to play through a third time. And this is the main menu screen I'm greeted with.

A Witcher3 reference! I fucking LOVE you guys! hahaha.

Skirting the ragged edge of the "Parody" clause on Copyright law.

I know this isn't how things work, but for what it's worth, if I was part of CDPR, I'd be honored with that reference!

I really can't wait to get on Discord with y'all. But alas, I have a few things currently preventing me from making that leap. Just gota deal with a few other things before really indulging. Looking forward to getting to know the community. 

;)

A surprisingly captivating story, even though you don't get to make many choices in the beginning, I found myself immersed in the story almost instantly. That 'ski lodge' bit, kinda hit close to home, only in my case, brought back long lost memories of summer camp. Eh!

My only 'suggestion' I'd ask for would be an option to skip the lewd scenes. Specially once you've seen them, being forced through 'em all over again exploring the story for different outcomes, kinda gets "meh-ish" and unnecessary in many cases where there's no meaningful dialogs in those scenes. Just a thought. But it would be appreciated if such an option would get included in the next chapter release.

That said, I'll see this story through to it's end regardless. Great work! Interesting story, so far, interesting character arcs, and the story twists are welcomed even though I can somewhat anticipate what will come next.

I'm curious if there's someplace where ppl can discuss "spoilers" or perhaps even entertain speculations as to what might come next. Can you tell I've been drawn in?  lol

Great work. I await the next chapter with GREAT anticipation. I have too many expectations as to what is about to happen next, I CANT WAIT!

Glad to hear it resonated with you, and we take all feedback onboard.

There is lots of spoiler discussion and speculation on our Discord, and we both interact daily with our fans:   https://discord.gg/stonefoxstudios

It is a type of review and

What i get from this avn,

Spoiler will be there for sure


I absolutely adore and love this mc,only few avn has such good looking, Manly, knows his shit and ain't a perv teenager type.

He has billions of dollars but still humble and treats everyone good and does simple jobs for living,a man with character who even doesn't leave a one night fling girl on road when she needs him.

But i don't like li jaye at all,hear me out,

Don't think i hate Jaye, she's good looking but else nothing good about her,she dates with a gay(i mean sure she can be wierdo but not more than that,right?),who tries to rape her,i mean what do u expect after dating a weirdo,off course he will take what he wants,you should be stupid to think that he will not do anything,but mc stopped him from doing so.

Don't take me as pyscho but that would have been good,not because rape is good from any pov but because she throws shit at mc,instead of her rapist and even tried to defend his gay bf action,like wow great you deserved it bitch.

Then mc left her for her doing all this nonsense and she still doesn't do a damn thing and when he returned acted like a jealous bitch,like seriously? Was he supposed to be your loyal pet or something? You treats him like shit and he left as a real man,but you still blames him?

Even in story at no point we can blame Jaye for all this, but only can accept her shit lies and ridiculous stupid execuses for doing all that shit, instead of putting that bitch into her place.

That's all what she do with only good mc,rarest in avn,but she is more ridiculous that this,she is a lesbian and using her innocent friend for pleasure who also puts up with her shit as friend,and ain't a lesbian like jaye.

She doesn't work or anything and just live off on money of MCs mom,like seriously bitch you can steep more low?

And now she wants to run the company,like what she did for it?she wants all the money,yeah take it,mc is humble enough to leave all the money for a slut like you,why put mc into your shit?

She treats people like her slave,like with her gay bf,she brought him to ship from airport just to humiliate him,he asked for forgiveness but she brought him to be beaten down by mc,getting similar vibes, yup that's happened in past too,she just uses everyone around her,and when things go South she blames other.

I don't see any reason that she's a good li type,she is more of ridiculous bitch who's is nothing more than a slut,who just loves herself and nobody else.

Her friend is 1000000 times better than her if i would want to marry between them i would always choose her friend.

I think you completely misread Jaye, Christian was *never* Jaye's Boyfriend.

I think you need to replay those scenes and actually read the dialogs a little more closely. Because she very clearly mentions that she felt sorry for Christian after having met him in the school's infirmary with injuries from being mistreated by his father for being gay (recall when she points out 'cigarette burns'). And getting thrown out of his home for it. Then Jaye mentions that she felt sorry for him and invited him to her home to give him a chance to vent about his problems, and then that's when things got 'dicey'. 

As for her attitude, I think the story writer really did his homework on the psychological behaviors of people and how some deal with rejection and sexual/emotional tensions. I've personally witnessed similar events before, just not between actual siblings (not that Jaye and MC are actual siblings, I'm not sure how siblings with ZERO blood relations are considered as actual siblings. But for the sake of the story I'll let it slide hehe). And I think she is very well depicted. And her behavior checks-out. 

Also, about her relationship with Tara (her best friend), Tara is not gay and neither is Jaye. Again, I strongly urge you to go through the story once more and actually pay closer attention to the dialog details.

as for Jaye being lazy and not working, you really missed alot of text haven't you? because again she points out she worked as a barmaid. I don't know how you can even remotely conclude that she leaches off her parents for money, but that strangely sounds like work to me....

If you play the game constantly skipping ahead by mashing the "CTRL" button, I can understand how you ended up in china using a map for Australia!  Just sayin'.

(2 edits)

hey dear good sir you have some solid points,and maybe it's either I missed to type other errors or they are true so you didn't had an explanation for those,it's good since i can't take Jaye shit at all,it feels nice that i was right about her.

My point still stands,you don't love someone and just goes completely mad at them for reading your dairy,maybe when it's personal some could but off course she will throw shit and overreact at age of 8, something you can understand kids thing,but it lasted for 10 years? Yeah comedy right.

About bf part i think here you are the one at the wrong end,it was already mentioned by mc that she was dating that dude Christian and definitely didn't brought him out of sympathy she clearly also mentioned that Christian wasnt sure with his sexuality so he tried to force himself on her for that,and mc saved her,let's say you're a completely bloke head and the guy who saved you is your enemy but still who will you support your savior or your rapist?

Here this bitch just lost any empathy or explanation that could be given in in future to have a reasonable relationship with her from my side, taking her shit,trying to adjust with her.

So she basically sided with her rapist to throw her shit at mc,whom she loved? I guess nowadays love is joke or something,since love meaning is changed to throw your partner in the pit,i guess?

And it's not like she was never nice to others too,like when that Christian met Jaye at airport to appologize for it,she basically brought him on ship to be thrown out by mc,to get him humiliated and not dirty her own hands,good move bitch.

And basically what i make up of it,that bitch for sure wanted property of her parents all alone,reason why she did all this nonsense to get mc out of house,wtf she did to try to bring him back? And yeah just act as angry on mc for every fucking reason so why not here,she just acted like she's angry at him so even if he return(which she never wanted off course,in reality) but then either mc out up with her shit and apologize for Jaye mistakes to her,so she feels superior or she shows her true colours.

Now you will argue with nonsense like he bloked her no. Or something,but for sure that ain't the case,like when she phoned him to inform about parents death,how the fuck she called him? That's either mistake or just shit reasoning later for Jaye never calling,and what about her not coming with parents to meet him?so she was angry for shouting at someone for no reason and siding with her own rapist,rather than with her savior,and brother,and than making him ran away from house and instead of feeling for him and having any guilt to make him leave, she's just doing her bitchy thing of acting as innocent, it's either she's having bad acting skills or superior class.

About her sweet friend,Tara,only character i absolutely adore in this avn other than mc,i never said she's gay,i said how much innocent she is who not only put up with Jaye shit but also keep smiling after being used by her as sex toy,why not Jaye become a prostitute? Rather than using sweet Tara?why not earn with helping yourself at same time? That's where her ego come and her nonsense personality to think she is superior to others.

Basically whole point of avn is either we put up with her bitchness things and subside it and accept her with 1000000 flaws or she become our first enemy if we don't appologize everytime for no reason,well that's situation with your lover,but most of them aren't even half like jaye,she's extremely too dull if you look inside the context and beautiful if you just see her outside beauty.

This avn is wierd but only good aspect is mc,but when you make someone good you have to make him half beta(for no fucking reason) he's too good sometimes for his own good,like letting that girl just live off in his house,i don't recall names much but the girl he fucks in starting if avn,so he's just too innocent and we were made to believe it's Jaye, but she ain't good for anything,you justified her something,but it's just one big error which takes your whole life good credit and here she didn't had any already so she's basically off the list.

Why this much hate? No I am not spreading any and like i said i love this avn,but if main li isn't good and she's only one available WTF i coan do? Rather than asking for some justification of her character,in the end i didn't liked her personality at all,Tara is million times better than her and no not because she already slept with mc or has some real feelings for mc not fake like jaye one which switches on and off every time,but because she's sacrificing all that for someone like Jaye,still keep smiling after being used by her,and if someone keep up with shits like jaye that's for sure a greater person than i could ever be.

(1 edit)

Thx for at least taking the time to read my comment. And I could spend alot of time picking at what I think you're wrong about, but I don't think that would be productive as we're all allowed to interpret the story line and character arcs as we wish. So Instead of pointing out more obvious misreads, I'll be perfectly happy with "agreeing to disagree" with you. 

I respect that you yield the results that are most logical for you. Either way, I'm sure we'll still find plenty to enjoy out of it regardless.  I just hope you're still able to enjoy the rest of the story. 

As for me, I just love Jaye, and all other chars. I even love to hate Christian even if I suspect his role will be pivotal and actually change MC's opinion of him in the next chapter. just a suspicion I have. The writers are crafty buggers.  ;)

In any case, thanks for the exchange of opinions. 

peace.

;)

Is there a way to put up a alternative Download source beside mega? I tried to download two days in a row, and run into the quota at 98% :(

Oh.. awesome game btw. One of the best regarding story and characters.. good work!

(1 edit)

Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

I've added a WeTransfer option now.   Hopefully that will avoid any transfer quotas people may be experiencing.

Awesome! Can´t wait to play :)

I can usually just move my vpn to another IP address

 and it picks right back up.

downloaded and yet 6 didnt load and started from scratch.  what did i do wrong?

Hmmm...Starting from scratch, did 6 play?

If your save doesn't work, always try the last autosave on Page 9.   Chapter 5 should have autosaved to Page 9/Slot 6 for example.

If neither of those worked, I'm not sure.   I haven't heard this issue reported from others yet.

Yeah, I think I simply don't know how to download the new content and then pick up from where I left off.  When downloading new content, should it be saved within the folder for the old version, or simply on its own in its separate folder?

Anywho, I can think of worse fates than to re-play your novel all the way through.  I look forward to having the time to continue the adventure.  Cheers!

(1 edit)

You can open your new download anywhere.   The binary writes copies of your save to %appadata%/ChasingSunsets/ so it should be aware of any previous saves no matter where you stored the last update.   (As long as it's under the same username on the same PC)

(+1)

LOL!  Indeed that was the issue.  I’d originally engaged on my MAC Air, but then attempted 6 on my desktop.  All good now.  Enjoying your writing and art thoroughly.  There are 9 quality AVNs (in my humble opinion) worthy of following, which are of professional caliber, and yours is in the top 3.  Keep up that quality production!

The only element CS is temporarily missing to be THE best visual novel is... more Lisa content! <3

(+2)

The key word here is "temporarily."   ;)   The forecast for future chapters is "Tasty with a high chance of Lisa."


As for being the best VN, there is lots of great stuff out there, and we'd never claim to hold a candle to many of them, but we're grateful for the kind words and encouragement!

(1 edit) (+1)

Hello there! I want to start off by saying that I have played complete play throughs of Being a Dick, College Kings, and now Chasing Sunsets all in a single week. Out of all those AVN’s Chasing Sunsets 💯 has the strongest and most enrapturing story. It’s amazing and I love the depths that it makes me feel from high to low, the ride is incredible. 

-The Graphics are on point and the people and places over all look amazing with the exception of the main guy. He’s mostly ok and I think I see what your going for but something about his face just looks off. It needs more details I think just to sharpen it like everyone else’s. Everyone around him has dynamic facial expressions whereas I’d say the MC had like 2-3.  

That being said I’m rather surprised and disappointed that your roughly 50% through the story. It isn’t my story of course but as a writer playing this I just naturally feel like I’m more maybe 25% through the story. I would hope if this be the case that you have a plan for a sequel because it would definitely be wanted. 

Another low note for me on this game though is that if your truly 50% done, it feels like a rollercoaster. Out off al the AVN’s I’ve played Chasing Sunsets has the shortest chapters and they really could be extended. I see that chapter 6 is taking longer than most previous chapters I believe. Hopefully that means this chapter has more to offer than it’s shorter predecessors. 

Over all 10/10 on the story but because of the shortness of length and apparent pace id say 7.5/10 on the whole game. 

(+1)

Thank you for the feedback.   The average adult paperback novel contains about 90K-120K words.   Chasing Sunsets as of Chapter 6 contains 114K words somewhere past the halfway point.  Extrapolating through the projected end of the game, we expect to land somewhere between 170-180K words.   

Nearly every single line of dialogue has a unique render with every "short" chapter including between 1400-1800 unique and individually-posed renders.   Indeed, as of this moment there are over 10000 images in the existing content.

We're sorry the pacing and amount of content falls short of your expectations at our price point, but are gratified for the kind words regarding the story. 

I think you're underselling your wordcount by comparing it to a paperback novel. A novel spends time describing the setting and actions of it's characters. You guys are going the extra-mile and animating it. Not to mention multiple scenarios and coding.
