VN - Ren'Py - Bright Lord [v1.01 Rework] [KissKiss Studio]

At beginning this game was showing promise. But now no story line just blah blah sex blah blah and it was like that last couple updates, No new characters game is dead and boring, Dev could have finished this game a while a go and there wouldn't be any difference!

I plan to Talk about the lack of representation in the game. I hope this situation changes in the future, but it's one of those games where you're limited to the author's narrative. The female character treats the main character disrespectfully, and the protagonist seems to agree with her, perhaps because the author directed him that way. As a player, you're confined to this point of view; you can't disagree with the character. In fact, regardless of the situation, you can't have any opinion because you're restricted to how the author wants the protagonist to think

Bright Lord is an interesting game with a theme on paranormal, incest and corruption. The graphics and character designs are good while the story is plausible enough. This game has potential although there are some really rough edges that need fixing.

Basic grammatical errors everywhere, bugs like “landlady” and “tenant” not being changed despite defining the relationship earlier or scenes towards the end not having any BGM is not something that should be in a game that is supposedly a reworked V1.0.

Story
MC moves into a countryside house with his mum and two sisters after their family lost everything in a business they founded. Soon he gets possessed by a demon who grants him mind control powers to harvest energy through sex. Typical adult game set up so far…

However the way corruption works deviates from other games - eventually all the girls are aware of his powers and corruption is subconscious through an alter ego in their minds that slowly “convinces” them to perform depravities.

The main story involves a fight between MC and the antagonist Megan as well their respective demon lord though not much has progressed at V1.0.

One thing to note is the large number of grammar and sentence structure errors, it’s so bad that it affects understanding occasionally. I’m surprised simple errors that can be caught using a proofreading tool still sprinkle throughout the story.

Game Mechanics
You get to make choices which affect Love and Corruption points, but in practice I’m not seeing much difference in how these variables affect the story. It is largely a kinetic novel with slight deviations.

Background / Character Renders
As the story doesn’t feature many unique places or scenarios with most of the events taking place at home or in office, not much can be said of the backgrounds except that they serve their purpose well.

Character designs on the other hand are very well rendered - Margarie, Emily, Chloe and Megan are hot and unique in their own ways. Liza’s the only let down as her stock model has been used in so many games that it breaks the immersion.

One thing which is a shame is Emily’s model was changed half way through (in the game it says Emily decided to change her hairdo, but in reality the new model looks very different). The new Emily is butt ugly and makes her look at least 10 years older then she is, I’m unaware of the rationale behind this sudden switch, but the least the developer could have done was to make sure her model is consistent throughout the story.

Character Development
MC comes across as incoherent with a personality that is invented on the go. One moment he’s a moral upright nice guy, the next moment he does not hesitate to consider performing something highly immoral. Some big challenges he shrugs it off as no big deal while he gets hung up over some minor stuff coming from an odd angle.

Most of the LIs are kind of flat or unconvincing as well. Margarie is supposed to be a head strong and action oriented businesswoman, but mood swings like a pimple faced teenager. Chloe is just the broken bitch personality that has been done to death in AVNs, Emily is a typical shy with secret crush on MC archetype whereas Liza is simply a corrupted sex obsessed tool.

The developer tries to put a spin on things by introducing alter egos that corrupt each LI, but this all descends into a clusterfuck cat fight between the girls for MC’s attention which is neither sexy nor interesting.

Sex Scenes
A very mixed batch - the good ones are not bad whereas the bad ones are bad to the point of being comical. Overall there are not too many scenes though most of them do meet basic expectations in terms of dialogue, music, camera angles, background and renders.

The inconsistency lies mainly in animations. Some of them are quite good while a few were downright odd looking. Imagine a girl being doggied aggressively with boobs hardly moving, legs curling up in a stiff unnatural angle during missionary or deep throating with a nonchalant face etc.

BGM and Sound Effects
Basic BGMs that complement the experience and no / minimal sound effects.

Conclusion
The main story depicting a fight between the two demons and their handlers is entertaining despite the lack of originality. I quite like how the developer has chosen to execute corruption in a way different from other games, but I have reservations whether having the whole dynamic descend into a harem cat fight between LIs is a good idea.

The characters are pretty and lovable, but let down by two dimensional personalities. Surprisingly hygiene factors such as being relatively bug free, having readable English and animations that obey the laws of physics are oddly missing in a game that labels itself as a reworked V1.0

I always wish it was easier to find out who is who in the pictures for a game, so here it is: In the main image on this page, counting from the left, the second girl is your little sister, the third is your mother, and the fourth is your older sister. The first is your younger sister's classmate, and the fifth is the main antagonist.

This is a great game, and the first one in a very long time that I actually read the story, so I'll give a quick summary of the story below:



There are a few things that made me drop a star on this one though. For one, sometimes the sentences don't make much sense, which I guess is because whoever is writing this is not a native English speaker, but that can be fixed with proofreading.

There's also parts of the story that don't make much sense. For example at one point his family is mad at him for the situation they are in, but really it has nothing to do with the MC. They would have been in the situation anyway, he just happens to have the Volon. It reads more like poor writing than a character being distraught an blinded by anger. The MC never even says, "I had nothing to do with what happened" and just lets them keep thinking that he caused it. They should know he didn't.

Some bullet points to finish it off:
-Sister
-Mother
-Mind Control
-Corruption route
-Awesome renders
-Tits bigger than feels natural at times
-no pregnancy at this moment

Also I'm the 100th review apparently

*played the rework v1.0 (btw english is not my first language so im sorry if i made mistakes)

ill start by saying i almost always skips the "supenatural / hypnosis" staff.
i find it lazy and unapealing especially if the mc is related(or step related) to the sex objects, cause that what they make it feel like - sex objects for the rapey perverted mc, who need some time to work on them in order to get to the main event with no real obsticales.

when i first played this game about two years ago i thought it would be the same so i kind of skipped through it and forget about it without really reading the story .
and for that ill have to say wow! finally a game that take this theme, but with actuall backround to it, the mc dont want to force himself on his family unlike any other game, the story is intresting and makes you think while the fap materials are also great: the girls looks amazing, the clothes vary and are uniqe and attractive.
and i really have to emphesize that making the "magic influence" setting convincing and tempting is something i can really apreciate.

in a scale of 1 to 10 i would given it 9/10 which is something i can rarely say about this type of games(at least for me i criticise way too much)
the only problems are the sex scenes and animations: even tho the animations here are above the avrege they are not great in comparison to other games or the quality of renders in this game which breaks imersion. now for the problem with the sex scenes, i see it in many games but a lot of game devs jumping right into the thrusting whitout showing a pentration, for me that one of the best parts if not the best in a sex scene, the pause , what they are feeling in this moment i missing and that a shame given everything i wrote above.
(i didnt mention the naming bug cause they said they will fix it...)

so for conclusion: i highly recommand you play this game tho it have some flaws the good parts are defenetly worth your time.

A big time fan here, following this game since early 2021 ,love the graphics , just the right amount of dialogues. meaningful coversations. but i have to point out the shortness of actual sex scenes . like 10-12 renders and 1,2 animations thats it feels like there is no depth between act.

the bonus and extra renders are absolutely mind blowing.

A fascinating story about demons playing with mortals for their own purposes, but with a twist; the MC becomes more and more powerful and gets to fuck his "mom" and sisters in the process. Mom is also really hot and she likes to play hard to get, just like things should be.

Renders are excellent graphics wise, but I miss more control over sex scenes (several camera angles maybe). Also they feel quite robotic and cheap sometimes, which feels like a terrible waste with such great female cast. Other than that the game is great, even the music is spot on. Well done!

Gane version: v.1.0-Fix Rework

I played this game years ago, in its earliest stages of development. Back then, it already had very much the same strengths and weaknesses it has today:

++ Really great, stunning renders
+ The MC isn't ugly

Yep, that's it. No comes the bad:

- Animations are still stiff af, they don't "feel" natural at all. Physics are absent (arms and legs are unnaturally raised in the air, no bouncing, no wiggling...) and the animations are very limited in frames count overall. They are just slightly above "bad".
- NPC's are one-sided/ bland and they lust for the MC much too fast (yes, that IS explained and reasoned with the powers, but it still feels too fast- there is almost no development in their relationsships).
- The MC's character has at least some depths in it, which is emphasized by the choices he has to make (corruption <> trying to stay sane), but ultimately he is just a jerk trying to lay every woman he meets.

The story is still mediocre and has some issues with consistency, although the dev managed to fill some plot holes over the years, which makes the plot easier to follow and understand.
Another, disappointing fact is that the content hardly rose and - as already mentioned- the quality of the scenes is still rather bad.
To me there is still a LOT work to do, before this game becomes a "good" game.

Great game that I ignored for a long time due to the presence of my least favorite tag(mind control). Here, it is not a hindrance and is used judiciously. The MC also isn't fully in control and his powers are a threat to him as well. One thing that can piss some people off is that the game clearly wants you to go corruption mode. There isn't a viable alternate path(yet). Even then, the primary girls retain their personalities and don't turn into mindless sex dolls. There's an inherent struggle going on in their subconscious mind that makes the mind control palatable and makes it something to weigh against while making your choices.
On the technical front, I liked the designs as they are pretty much the best you can do with Daz3D. Sex scenes are well animated and the music is unobtrusive. There's a clear thrust to the story so far with exciting revelations and intriguing mysteries. The supernatural elements are tackled well with the underlying demonic entities each having their own goals which might differ from what their human host wants. There are no spelling errors and the prose is well written.
Overall, a stellar experience and I'm looking forward to enjoying each new update.

Always wanted to give this Game try but due to time constraints wasnt able to do so. Finally after the Full Version of Season 1 released i took it upon myself to try this game out. Here are my thoughts on the Game


- The Renders is the first thing that catches your eye. Amazing Graphics I must say. Can definitely keep up with the big boys in that regard

- Female Cast is nice. Some Beautiful Women I must say. My Personal Favs are Chloe the older Sister and Megan the Villain. Some splitting into Paths so your own Main or go down the Harem route. Having a Chick as beautiful as Megan not become a potential Love Interest would be a shame.

- The lore surrounding the Story is quite interesting i must say. Would love if the Author could expand on it further in Season 2

- The Mc is all right. You could tell that the Mc was steadily growing throughout the Story. Now that the groundwork has been set an increase in critical choices would in Season 2 would be much appreciated so you can mould him into your own character (badass, simp, hothead, perhaps even Villain alongside Megan )


The Potential is there and the groundwork has been set. Given how the overall Story was steadily improving throughout the playthrough makes me very hopeful about how good Season 2 will be. Highly recommended Game 10/10 with potential to become even better

The game is truly exceptional and deserves much more recognition. Its compelling storyline and outstanding animation set it apart, making it unfortunate that it remains relatively unknown. Undoubtedly, it stands as one of the finest offerings available. Please continue the excellent work!

Pretty good game, I've had my fair share of playing high end rendered games here, yours does take it in my top10. Sadly the biggest criticisms are a bit overblown but they are true nonetheless. It really needs proofreading and fast or atleast for the next project. The story and the themes put are interesting, don't let anybody say otherwise but how the plot goes on afterwards does feel really lacking, the relationships are purely corruptive but the MC really acts like he's trying to be a good guy and do the right thing. The pure corruption part might've felt better if the MC was a bad guy at the beginning and maybe tried along to get better or something. The author got a few things to really fix and his project might get big. there are others that have done more with simpler and uncomplicated plot but nowhere close to the renders here.

Game needs a lot of work with the writing and Proofreading,
Good thing is there are lovely models in and good renders. The story is kind of all over the place and is not breathtaking. If you are looking for just for hot girls and nothing more then it is a good play

I practically don't write reviews but I am very disappointed with this game, there is practically nothing in it that I could describe as good, I will only mention a few elements that are quite weak.

-Renders aka character design, the 3 main characters look like clones, the same faces, the same body type (huge boobs), at the beginning of the game I had trouble recognizing who was who, the only distinction was "this one is a mommy, let's give her pubic hair and the sisters will be bald" Additionally, the renders themselves, although good, are not top-of-the-range (many games have shown how to make great renders) and due to their generic nature and the "bimbo" effect, they are more repulsive than encouraging.

- The main character is completely useless, he always talks about not touching the "group" (sic!), he constantly cries about how poor and manipulated he is, but you can't see it at all, the game feels like the developer wanted to do the most a vanilla game because he is afraid of anything more hardcore, but at the same time he would like to make a hardcore story and it doesn't work at all. A story in which a boogie woggie possesses a guy and controls women cannot have a hero who is a complete twat, it would be funnier to make him gay and as if he had to have sex with women in great disgust.

- The sex scenes, something that should be the strongest element of this type of story (and porn games in general), were completely unmemorable, vanilla and even boring, the game's theme was dark about a creature without morals and most of the scenes were ordinary blowjob or boring sex scenes when the "inner the voice corrupts the character. All this corruption is also poorly done, and although the idea of the subconscious doing it is interesting, it is done poorly and boringly, it comes down to "do it, do it, you want it blah blah blah"

- most of the scenes are very dark, to the point that you can't see shit in them, I understand that this is an artistic intention and the game was supposed to be a horror game and very "dark" (which completely failed) but it does not mean that the scenes ( especially sex) are supposed to be dark and hide 3/4 of the scene

- The plot wasn't bad in general, but in my opinion it was poorly written, and what's more, the main character is very annoying, as I wrote above, I wasn't more interested in what would happen to him, I was more interested in whether he would become a loser, he would finally become a bright lord because he I felt dissatisfied with the shallowness of all dialogues and "actions". Like the already mentioned constant crying about the "group" or even the scene in which he killed one of the bogeymen in the woman and instead of using her or turning her into a sex slave (after all, his parasite needs energy), he gives her water, says that it will be cool and gives it back completely nobody knows why. The choices also don't seem to matter because despite choosing all the wrong options, the main character hasn't changed a bit except for crying more about how he is a monster.

TL;TR The game disappointed me a lot, because I was expecting a dark erotic horror with elements of control, but what I got was an annoying main character, 3 family members who look like clones with a bimbo build, completely vanilla scenes, and a plot that doesn't hold together with constant jumps between flashbacks, the world of dreams, and other places, and the general problem with the desire to build a dark "evil" world and the fear of any more "bold" actions

VERSION: 1.0
SUMMARY: Very good? No.

PROS:

1. Stunning models, unrealistically good looking, bragging rights to the designer but doesnt make for a very realistic scenario.
2. Animations are very nice also.
3. Writing is decent, structured well enough.
4. Story is different, unique and I would say good simply because of these aspects, but...Check CONS

CONS:

1. Development is going on nearly 4 years from first version, even got a rework, which is good, but honestly, I don't feel the developers heart is in it.
2. Story is IMO all over the place and when it does get some direction, it takes a hell of a long time to get anywhere, this game has been in such long development that it could have been done twice over already.
3. Writing is poor, the dialogue is not terrible but the grammar is shit. The developer gives you options to set the relationships but its such a lot of puke around ACT2 already where the "landlady" is no longer called whatever you called her nor the other members of the "household" (lets cut the bullshit, its written to be family) yet its one minute mom, then landlady then father Christmas or something else. Don't you proof read your work? Again, developer is good at visuals, shit at writing and story IMO.
4. Characters seem or want to be complex, but the game story and narratives are so slow (in terms of development). There is very little story here, very little character background and depth. The dev wants to pretend that there is but really, the player really knows little to anything about the characters before the possession or after.
5. Updates are so infrequent and often small with little content and usually you end up having to replay the game from start to get the thread of the story again or your old saves simply fuck out...

TLDR: This game boggles my mind in a way, I even had a hard time typing up a review, it simply was not thought out well in terms of execution of its story. The story is decent, but falls flat due to poorly fleshed out characters, slow development time and ultimately just doesnt have the cohesion to give it a better rating. The developer should focus more on the aforementioned and less on the the models IMO. GET THE GAME DONE

2 stars for the models

It was a masterpiece. The story, the elaboration of the characters, high-quality design. What more can you ask for? You will meet a green-eyed demon who will not leave you indifferent. I envy those who can experience for the first time this dark but at the same time fascinating story.

Another "corruption" game where I'm supposed to believe that the MC gets cock blocked from fucking his family. This is despite the fact that he literally gets full control over the girls. This has been done to death and this game offers nothing new to the genre. The same bimbo looking models with the same looking unrealistic MILFs where it's trying too hard to make them look older but not too old at the same time.

Honestly, a solid 4. The animations for the sex scenes are really short and you can't control anything, it's basically just watching the scene. Also, the writing is pretty average and the plot tries to be deeper than it actually is. The corruption/love routes are also a huge lie like a lot of people say in other reviews. There are a few scenes where you can move around the rapey stuff if you're on the love route, but the general premise is going to be the same: raping girls. There's heavy corruption either way and over time you change the girls to be more, well, corrupted, and they become more open to your shenanigans. I can understand why people would be pissed off if they were expecting the love stuff and instead they were forced into the rape stuff, however that's pretty much what I'm after so that's lucky. If you're not into that, you will hate this game and you should definitely avoid it. Also, the girls all look really hot and they have big tits so again if that's not your thing, you won't like this. Overall, a pretty damn good corruption game, but the love/corruption routes are the same, and the rape is mandatory, you should not play this if you aren't accepting of this.

Full marks for rendering, but the animation scene is too short and the plot is decent. The only downside is that corruption and love route scenes are the same. Choosing a love route will still control the protagonist's family. What I hate the most is controlling corruption..This is rape，I can't accept it.

This is just horrible
Renders are ok, but all the girls are bimbos, at least a bit of variety would have been appreciated

You get to define the relationship with girls, but writing is so inconsistent. In some scenes, "Landlady" acts like MCs Mom, then in another scene she acts like MC is just an acquaintance.
The "Dad" of the "Family" died and MC didnt even go to the funeral because he was too busy. That would make sense for "Landlord" but not for "Dad"

There is no "normal" sex scene in the game (at least in the beginning, i just couldn't play anymore..). You have option to agree to sexually abuse the girls, or if you try to resist then you are forced to do it. Dev calls this Love and Corruption routes. Raping is neither love nor corruption in my opinion
I Have no idea how this is not tagged with rape, because this literally is rape, MC either uses mind control to rape girls or he is forced to
Also on top of that, in one scene you have 3 options. 1. Rape semeone. 2. Rape someone else, 3. kill random person. WTF.
