    Never have I been this annoyed over a game before, made me waste a few hours of my life trying to make it seem as if the choice you take have any significance. The "love" and "corruption" route have no differences at all, MC still ends up fucking his family using mind control. The LIs are hateable, they blame MC for everything for no reason. There is so much useless drama between the LIs. The older sister is an entitled bratfy bitch who thinks everyone except her is in the wrong. Throughout the entire game, the players have no agency. The MC has been gripped by the balls and is controlled by the bright lord no matter what choices you make. Unlike the description suggests, you cannot "resist" him, this is a fully corruption based game but the dev of the game is too spineless to advertise it as that. Atleast have the balls to own what you are instead of wasting player's time.

    Great game. Deserved way more attention.
    Great story line, great animation, sad that not lots of people know about it!
    Definitely one of the best one out there
    The update is slow that's the only problem

    Render Review: (P2.V.0.9.part3)
    Very HQ renders but lacks enough Content or should i say just barely adequate (It's just straight up seggs, NO foreplay, NO romance, Only Seggs!)
    Models looks great. Nice Costumes. Nice Cosplay by chloe too. If Cosplay/CFNM Seggs scenes would've been there it would be Excellent!

    It's an excellent game. The characters and renders are so perfect that I loved playing it. The plot is quite nice too. At the beginning of the game I didn't thought that it'll turn out this good but then gradually it keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work dev (y).

    Let's start with obvious: the girls are 10, models (including monsters) are great and detailed. Outfits are perfect, but I think it would have been better that the girls would change their outfits that show so much skin a little bit later in the game.

    The story is intriguing, I actually read. Well, except some moments. Dialogs sometimes feel stretched or mentioning things that were established before. Could be so to remind player what happened on previous release, but I don't believe that.

    At first the story was bright, then it had some sort of dark twist, I kind of felt bad even, later on it got bright again. So it already has full emotional journey of game or hollywood movie :D

    I am considering to replay the game (even though it is not finished) again, because it feels like your decisions matter, there was reference to one of them in the game - "you should have done this as I told you" - or something like that. But I'm not sure, either way, worth replaying.

    EDIT: forgot to mention that at some points Landlady looked younger than her daughters, and it threw me off a bit. But the game is so good, that this is probably the worst thing about it.

    Game Review before Rework:

    PROS
    - Great renders
    - Interesting combination of horror & erotica theme
    - The Paranormal part of the story is interesting

    CONS
    - Pacing and writing is bad. There is not much character development.
    - Sex scenes is short. The scene between love and corruption is not much different.
    - Too much unnecessary drama and very one dimensional characters
    - Players choice is useless as the story path is predetermined
    - Conversation flow is bad and childish.
    - All the LIs behaves like kids throwing tantrums and does act their age.

    There are much better games out there. Would only recommend this if you;re really bored. This is a Kinetic Novel pretending to be a Visual Novel

    Updated Review as of 1.0 After Rework
    - The entire game is still a hot mess
    - Renders are great but the dialogue is still badly written and the interactions between characters are awkward.
    - The story is badly written with much of its story potential thrown out the window due to the author's inability to have story pacing and consistent story element
    - Renders and dialogue/story element is not in synch. example, the story narration states the house is old and need fixing but the house looks new/great condition in renders
    - The tenant/roommate title spoils the entire flow of the dialogue. Reading it can be painful like nails on a blackboard

    TLDR - Still a hot mess (2/5) after remake. The only consolation of the game is the renders, everything else is badly done

    To put it succinctly, this game is fantastic with a unique storyline and impressive graphics. The pacing is decent, though the sex scenes lack sensuality, and the expressions of the characters could be improved as their faces appear somewhat stiff. Despite these minor drawbacks, it is a must-play game, offering a refreshing and more serious tone compared to other games on the site. Kudos to the developer! I'm excited to see how the game will evolve in the future.

    A good visual novel that is well done overall.

    The biggest plus to the game is the amazing character models and renders. The writing and story are above average. A few things don't make sense here and there but it's a somewhat unique story.

    The love points don't do much in the game and the love & corruption points only change like one or two choices. The game is light on choices and the story is mostly linear.

    There are English problems throughout the game and it could really use a proofreader. Some sentences just don't make sense in English. 90% of the time I can tell what the author is trying to say but not in every scenario.

    All female characters in the game have the same body type - bimbo (huge breasts, large rounded asses, and tiny waists) except for the younger sister to some extent. More variety in character models would be welcomed!

    The mother/landlady and office secretary in the game have breasts so large that they don't look real/natural. Step away from the breast sliders please!

    Some of the female models' makeup looks funny/weird on close up renders (mostly the older sister). I'm not sure why, it just does.

    The younger sister is the only main LI that has a somewhat pleasing personality overall. The mother and older sister are witches for most of the game.

    The sex scenes are average to above average overall. The sex scenes are animated. The animations are smooth but lack adequate movement and/or penetration. Those hips need to be moving and they barely move. Nearly all penetration scenes only move back and forth maybe an inch or two at most. When the MC has a huge 12 inch dick, it looks funny! It makes the scenes look awkward which isn't good. I will say that there are two deepthroat scenes with good penetration.

    The animations detract from the sex scenes in some instances. The animations are too robotic and sometimes the character models look like statues having sex as a result. Some additional body and head movement would improve the animations a lot. It would be cool to see their head slowly turning towards the MC or the player which few authors do. Give them some facial expressions and move their eyes a bit. I've only seen a few authors do this well.

    The mother/landlady in the game wins terrible mother of the year award! She doesn't act like a mother and is verbally abusive so often to the point of cringe. The older sister is overly entitled and rude too much IMO. I guess the drama has to come from somewhere right?

    Fix the English, improve the animations, and lengthen the sex scenes a bit and it may turn into a 5 star game. Some non-bimbo female characters would be welcomed also.

    Overall, I had a fun time with the game even though it made me cringe at times. The story is about a dysfunctional family which is worsened by supernatural forces. Don't take the plot too seriously and you will probably have a good time.

    I recommend the game and encourage others to give it a try.

    V. phase 2 0.9 part 3 fixed (which will no doubt become even more convoluted)

    right off the bat the art is great. scenes do the job and visually pleases the eye.
    the plot is good. it has a decent hook to it and is different as much as it is similar.
    game design is the right choice. this works as a VN as it requires the immersive style of a choice based novel to keep immersion high. trying to break that immersion with something like sandbox would weaken it's hook hugely. it can work for some stories but not this one.

    the biggest downside to this game is by far the writing. it has so many inconsistencies it drowns out all the good. does the writer even know the routes? i suspect not as the crossover is obvious.
    not only are the characters inconsistent with the stats, MC included, but the story presentation is full of more holes than a taiwanese mega brothel.

    why would an MC on a love route be so aloof and treat the women as tools, the same way as a mixed route?
    poor writing drags this down considerably

    Revolving Mania

    The renders of the LIs are good and they're hot, but oh boy are they annoying. The little sister and the mom are cool at the beginning, but the mom soon becomes a hysterical mess. Worst mom of the decade, honestly. She hates all her children and treats them like garbage and she spends almost every scene yelling like some stereotypical crackhead mom who abuses her children.

    Let's not even speak about the older sister, she is your typical bratty and entitled rich asshole, like one of those "young masters" from Chinese novels. She apparently hates the MC because he didn't want to drop out of college for her, lol and she acts like a snobby rich brat for most of the game until she is mind-broken by having two "alter egos" inside her. Then she's suddenly all mellow and loving.

    The little sister is perhaps the only human-like being amongst the LIs, but she becomes a jealous mess, which is understandable, honestly and still makes her feel like a human, but I believe in this case she should've remained cool-headed to provide relief from all the crazy women in this AVN. Then there's Liza who was mind-broken from the beginning and is always crazy about the MC.

    The MC is alright, I guess. He acts like your typical dude. Not too much of a pushover and you get the chance to stand up for yourself a few times, but it never unfolds in a satisfying manner. The MC always takes the blame for more than he should and puts the blame on him while everyone else berates and treats like him garbage. Not to mention he has a powerful demon in his mind controlling him. Not sure how he hasn't killed himself, yet. Dude is not having a good time, at all.

    Last is the plot which is not good at all, either. You have to really shut down your brain if you want to have any chance at enjoying this. Many unexplained events happen and they're just accepted by everyone, nobody wondering it even happen, like when the MC gets blamed for someone's suicide without any proof at all. But well, who knows.

    Lastly, I do not feel that choices matter at all. No matter what you do, it seems the events unfold in the same way. Just a few differences in the dialogue and not much else. Overall, there's nothing enjoyable about this aside from the good-looking renders. Maybe I'd give it 3 stars if the sex scenes were good, but they're short and the animations are awkward.

    This game did surpass my expectations by a long shot. I thought it's gonna be like all the other taboo harem type games that're only good at half-decent sex scenes. Imagine my surprise upon the realization that there's an actual story that hooks me.

    I'll admit that the so-called story only makes sense on a surface level, think but a lil harder about it and whole thing comes crumbling down. But I appreciate that there is at least a tight enough narrative progression that keeps me engaged. Tons of other VNs fail at this very simple task.

    I do feel that the older sister's corruption progress was too rushed. I don't feel the hostage exchange they did was great enough a turning point to justify the sister's sudden change of personality, considering the mom and the other sister were progressing much more naturally.

    The sex scenes need more work. The models are too hot to deserve such "simplistic" sexual treatment. The dev needs to get more invested in building up these scenes. They are the purpose of the game after all.

    All in all, in an environment where hundreds of substandard VNs are being produced daily, the decency and wholeheartedness of Bright Lord is very much appreciated. The road ahead is still long, there are still lots of room for improvement.

    This game is pretty good at making me hate some of the characters. Shoutout to Chloe and the Landlady (who btw doesn't even have a fucking name) for being some of the most hateable, dimwitted bimbos in existence.

    Good quality renders, and the story can be quite interesting at times. The improvement in both how the renders are used for animations or even for regular scenes is notable across the game as you play. I recommend it, but it does infuriate me at times.

    I think the concept of this game is very interesting and was really enjoying the premise at first. However, as you keep playing you realize that if you try to resist you miss out on almost all the good stuff. It just seems like this was geared way more towards the corruption route and much less payoff is given to the resist route. The problem for me with that is if you go the corruption route you feel like you have no agency over the story and it might as well be a KN. IDK maybe if both sides of the story were flushed out more I could get behind it, but how it is I feel like a passenger.

    edit: reviewed against 1.0

    I can't do it, I can't play the game. The whole thing is just awful. The MC is just so seriously un fun I itch when he talks and what's worse is he's meant to have this... demon? in him but really all that lad does is bitch about how he needs power and the MC is so basic all he does is complain about a sore head. That's it, that's all he does.

    The characters are puddle deep, they're so one track minded. I talked about the family being tropes but really there's no excuse for it now. They're boring. The older sister is angry and has like... not a single brain cell in the melon on top her shoulders. She has not a single characteristic other than "angry" so by goodness you better hope you like that otherwise what's the point of her? She makes stupid decision and doesn't listen to anyone but don't worry it's ok. See.... she's angry. Bah.

    ----
    reviewed against Phase 1 v0.6 but not that far through I suppose.

    The game is quite interesting. The plot is there but it's not TOO overbearing. The main issue, and by god is it an issue that seems to plague a lot of similar games, is that if you decide to just let go, to embrace your situation and go with the flow.... the MC is still a complete wet blanket at times.

    So the overview states "Bright Lord makes you his servant. Will you let him take over your mind completely or fight his will in his conquest for power and revenge"

    Now, as porn games go that's actually pretty good. The Dev has spent the time to actually think about what the plan is. So they should be applauded. The issue is the execution. The game seems to have a very heavy bias towards the "letting him take over your mind" route which is grand cause it's an interesting story but the plot goes along the lines of every now and again the MC gets the urge to be naughty cause of lust or whatever and even if you choose to do it, he still acts all "oh woe's me for doing the thing" and he seems to do it half the time. Like I get it but as a player I've picked the option, I'm going down this path can we skip this bit and just move on"

    I get it's done for a story point of view but if it is a case of having the MC unsure then why have it as an option at all. Let the hate flow through you, as someone once said.

    Aside from the MC, the game's solid. the usual tropes are in there (oh look the older sister is A N G R Y, the mother's a widow, the younger sister is all innocent) but really they've become so standard you can't really knock a game from sticking with a tried a tested formula. Renders are solid and it seems the dev has decided to go with a small core of characters as opposed to playing whack a mole with 500 different women you see once or twice (and chances are you've seen in 20 other games).

    On playing a bit more I'm in two minds, It's an interesting game but the issues with it really hold it back. The story's fine, although the dialogue at times feels a bit wooden. The main issue is the MC. As I mentioned above he's just a boring character and it's hard to judge whether it's because of who he is or the story making him as such.

    Regardless of what he does, he seems to sit and mope for a while about it, "Oh woe is me I done the thing" and like..... it gets old. Like the game follows this pattern

    *thing happens*
    *voice in your head* I need energy go do x
    I dunno
    *voice in your head*
    you need to
    *selects option to do the thing* Ok
    *does x*
    Aww how awful, I done x, what is a man to do

    Like..... I could understand if the game was more open and you'd selected no to do the thing but to agree to do it then hear the MC bitch about it..... I'll just hold down control and skip the next 50 lines of self loathing shall I? Either let the MC open up and actually let the player enjoy be bad or railroad them and continue to waste time lamenting about it but to give the option of choice just to hear yet ANOTHER speech about how whatever your doing is wrong..... bleh

    Quite a good game with decent renders and nice girls. I had to substract 1 star for the poorly hidden incest part. If the first thing you have to do in a game is to rename the character relations, I half way out quitting the game. They said they were going to re-work this part and hopefully get rid of this creepy introdution to the game.

    AlbertoRiveron

    The dialogue is terrible, the story is just really not interesting and yet continuously stuffed down your throat. Pacing is a huge issue in the game too certain relationships develop insanely quickly and other deteriorate at a crazy rate as well. The biggest positive this game has going for it are the renders, but either than that I don't really recommend this game.

    PROS:
    Renders

    CONS:
    Story
    Choices dont really matter yet

    krantos

    Has a bit of an identity crisis.

    Is trying to tell this big, serious story, but the dialogue is just... bad. Especially when it comes to sex. As soon as sex comes into any conversation, its like the characters learned to speak from watching the cringiest pornos ever.

    Similarly, uses surprisingly strong lighting and renders, but the bodies as too "Blow up doll" like to be taken seriously. I

    In short, the Story and Renders are trying to be "High art" or at least "Quality Porn Game", but they are wasted on bad dialogue and cartoonish body proportions.

    Just completed part 1 and had to skip through the second half as it took all I had and felt my IQ dropping by the minute trying to keep up with the juvenile dialog so I never even got to part 2 and deleted all of it after an hour of suffering.

    PROS
    -Beautiful models
    -Great renders
    -Some cool animations
    -Emily & MC interraction credible and interesting

    CONS
    -The writing is just aweful and so is the pacing
    -Sex scenes too short and could use improvement
    -Too much useless drama & confusion from the main LIs & MC
    -Every type of sex given right from the start making the game pointless
    -Brightlord character very poorly written & boring as hell
    -Juvenile dialog. Many comments feel like they were written by a 12 year old. I mean how many women call you "my king" in the middle of intercourse, seriously?
    -Useless point system as "Brightlord" makes most decisions anyway
    -Rude & bitchy PMS'ing characters throughout phase 1 (and I was not interested in trying phase 2) so no clue if anything changed nor do I care.

    Boring LI's and confused MC places this one in a long list of the most boring VN I've played. Almost everybody is possessed in this which makes the MC look as boring as the rest of them. On the positive side, there is a WT MOD and gallery unlocker so you can at least check the scenes & renders without going through so much pain. Cannot recommand without gallery unlocker.

    One of the best mind control VNs on here.

    The renders are great, the girls are all hot yet distinctly different, and the story is actually interesting. Looking forward to seeing the dev stick the landing.

    Loved every minute of playing this game. The reluctant corruption of the MC and his family is very well done and puts a refreshing twist on the usual plot in these types of games.
    The actual story and worldbuilding are also really interesting and engaging.

    I especially liked how the LIs don't immediately accept the harem situation and there's some drama/jealousy between them for the MC.
    I assume eventually they'll give in, but in the meantime, the characters just feel much more alive and realistic because of this. And I also just find it extremely hot.

    The pacing and escalation of NSFW content are excellent.
    The sex scenes are on a shorter side for my liking and I'd love to see more different positions and camera angles, but overall they are still fantastic.

    The renders are beautiful and all the women are absolutely gorgeous. They are constantly dressed in very revealing and sexy clothes which is maybe not very realistic, and I have to suspend my disbelief a little bit, but it's not a complaint and I love this since it creates a great sexually charged atmosphere even outside NSFW scenes.

    The only negative I can say is that the renders are a bit too dark.
    I even increased the screen brightness while playing.
    But it's not a big deal. Also kind of ironic, since the game is called Bright Lord.

    Overall an amazing game, now one of my favorites. Hope the Dev keeps this up.
