VN - Ren'Py - Bright Lord [v1.15.0 Steam] [KissKiss Studio]

v1.15.0 Steam

Story fits perfectly for AVN game. Accepting this evil entities demand to fuck family members does logically take you on corruption path. Story does balance really well family, sex and main plot. I personally would prefer that corruption path and love path would have some variation on sex scenes and not separate hidden scenes, but this seems to be the normal way how most of the AVNs do it. More small differences during journey would remind us better on what route we are in.

Writing is overall good, but atmosphere is super negative. At the beginning everyone dislikes each other, but with the power of magical corruption, the family comes together. It all just feels kind of dark and depressing. For this reason, I have no interest on checking the love route. Only women I personally wanted to "save" were the side characters girlfriend and Gabriel. But in some ways I like that I can just brainwash abuse some women that I don´t care that much. Of course forced love scenes do remove this illusion.

Visually game looks good. Women are super skinny with air balloon tits, so sadly no jiggling of any kind. Over the updates the sex scenes have got better. Lots of sexy pictures to keep reading fun and some look especially great. Whole plot of mind control sex just makes the regular sex scenes somewhat letdown. There is no real taboo, love, hatefuck or other clear emotions on sex scenes. But overall everything looks good.

Hands down the most overrated AVN on this site. Granted it has some of the most beautiful girls you will ever find in a game, great renders and good music but that is all there is to praise. You play as one of the worst main characters ever written. Let's first adress the elephant of the game: He can't get a boner because his childhood sweetheart is missing... Ok. His personality is a unique blend of depressive, cold, arrogant, zero empathy and negative charisma. Whenever he opens his mouth you just want to roll your eyes and puke at the same time. It's impossible feel a shred of simpathy for this guy. On top of it all he has a unique set of skills that allows him to embarrass himself whenever a girl tries to get too close to him, for example there's moment where he has the hottest chick in the game on his bed wearing nothing but wet panties and she tells him she's horny... imagine what the faggot hero does? Absolutely nothing. In result she puts her clothes back on and leaves. And yet somehow this guy is woman magnet. Logic that only make sense in the SG universe. But hey, if humiliation is your favorite kink this is the perfect game for you

This is "Whining: the game"
Mc whines that he's infested with an entity and has to fuck his family. Entity whines that it was betrayed and that MC doesn't want to fuck his family. His family whines at each other about everything, then whines on MC that he has to fuck them and later they whine that he fucks not only them. Main antagonist whines that MC's dad didn't divorce his wife for her. Side antagonists whine that main antagonist is fixated on MC.
And it just doesn't stop. Same thing over and over again. It gets old fairly quickly.

So the story isn't that great, what about everything else? Models are hot. Sure, the only bodytype present is "bimbo", but that's fine. Individual renders are great, plentiful and every now and then game even offers you alternative ones to view. Sadly, renders for sex scenes are limited and stiff.

The game does offer some variability, but mostly it feels that it offers options for the sake of options. Perhaps if there was a way to know what options you locked yourself out by previous choices - it would've felt better. As is - it doesn't really matter what you choose.

It's good for a single run-through, but i'm not seeing myself returning to this game.

I thought, based on the screenshots and reviews, that it was a good game in its field.
At first, the plot was captivating and the scenes were short, so I went with the "good guy" route.
But then you realize the plot gets worse with each act. The scenes and animations are all clunky, so you notice little things due to bias. For example, in one shot (IT'S not even an animation), Emily's new hairstyle is broken and hangs like it's made of wire.
And almost all the animations are crappy and short.
Afterwards, I decided to replay as the "evil" character, and the plot didn't change. That is, you're still weak during the first encounter, and when you save Chloe, the "White" character will still win, and Lisa will still feel unloved.
I assume the good guy ending will feature a choice between the girl and the villain ending will feature an orgy.
But the essence of the story won't change. And the "grown-up" women don't look like "grown-ups" at all; that's just a matter of taste.
I don't recommend this game; it has a nice cover, but the implementation and so on are poor.
Also, the Steam achievements haven't been working for a month now. I had to "hack" them.
P.S. I saw that I purchased a "package" from this developer, who released two Steam games in one year, and neither of them is finished and both are still being worked on—which is also a minus. It's clear there will be a lack of focus. But I hope the first one will be better, although that's unlikely. I give this game a 1/5 rating. Maybe the game will change.

First off I wanted to love this game from first picture. A family of beautiful brunettes! So disappointed almost immediately I had to delete game and write this. The mom and younger sister are so sweet and stunning and then from the get go it’s basically the MC raping them and them forgetting and praising him. Here’s hoping for a total rewrite and them getting a story worthy of them.

This is the basics! The main character and his harem are banal and uninteresting. However, in such genres, I focus on the plot component. In this aspect, everything is much more exciting. According to the plot, a spirit that "feeds on emotions" enters the main character, and your task is to resist it or give in. The plot is enticing, the dialogues are interesting, and as we know, this makes up almost 100% of the gameplay in such genres. BUT this banal imitation of choice spoiled the impression of the game. Even if you resist the "spirit", in any case you will f*)k everyone, the plot remains linear, and your choice only affects the text in a few sentences.

A great discovery for me, even though we're on version 1.14.
The girls are gorgeous, and the story, while not horror, is a fantastic one. It's not always clear, but it's relatively fluid.
The game's usability is excellent, but the option to change outfits is, in my opinion, useless. Where the game falls short is in the intimate scenes: it's not very fluid, but it's mainly because it's way too short! No options in the scenes or progression during the intimate acts: 69, caresses, top-bottom... make it a bit too cold! It's a shame because the girls are gorgeous, and their "family" relationship is successful and progresses well!
So, dear DEV, push the feelings a little harder for the romantic route ^^. The MC is good and plays his role perfectly!
Overall, this is a good AVN that lacks a bit of warmth.
4/5 for the girls, the story, and the usability. One to watch closely. AND PLEASE no ending to spoil the whole dead style of the MC or the girls!

I have to agree with previous reviewers, The story is very mid. Its an interesting premise, but the delivery of that feels very half-hearted. The corruption path doesn't feel earnest, and the love path still ends up with too many angry/resentful moments all the way up to the current version.

The women are all obviously hot, and the renders are high quality. The animations are mostly shit though. They don't look natural at all. The range of motion is poor, the body physics are lacking, the durations are short, its just generally not a very appealing experience.

Because the dialogue is not super engaging you can get through this pretty quick. I think its worth a quick run, but don't expect this to measure up to the top tier VNs.

I plan to talk about the lack of representation in the game. I hope that the situation will change in the future, but this is one of those games where you are limited by the author's narrative. The female character disrespects the main character, and he seems to agree with her, perhaps because the author directed him in this direction. As a player, you are limited by this point of view and cannot disagree with the character. In fact, regardless of the situation, you can't have an opinion because you're limited by what the author wants the main character to think.

I didn't have high expectations for the plot of this game, considering how weak the main plot is in Bright Lord, but I at least expected that GG would be natural in a flirting game, and conversations with girls would be meaningful... So far, GG is disappointing in both aspects. We got an average game with excellent graphics and nothing else: no plot, no good dialogues, no interesting life stories, no hardcore gameplay. So far, 2/5 is the maximum this game deserves.

It absolutely sucks as a VN, but close to excellent as a set of nsfw pictures and animations.
Devs put maximum amount of efforts to make an eye candy, pity the rest of the aspects werent loved by them as much.
The game is trying really hard to over achieve, and it makes it slightly off.
My biggest cons with it were bugging inconsistencies.
MC with his LIs had to switch places of residence, so far so good.
They absolutely had no time to pack any of their items.
Nevertheless next days judging by the way they are dressed they are on a sexy fashion show.
LI can randomly switch swimsuits during the same scene.
My MC was RPing the 100% bastard with the maximum corruption path, and sometimes he started to loudly doubt himself while in the middle of seducing the next victim, while the victim in question was asking to continue.
If he would start having second thoughts before seducing LI, its completely undestandable.
If he would start having second thoughts in the process, if the LI is against it, I'm all for it.
But having existential crisis in the middle of having your dick s*cked, its definitely smth unusual in lewd texts writing.

Nevertheless, if nice looking graphics is your topmost priority, and you dont really care much about the rest, you'll most probably like it.

This is the best game on this site, love it very much, developer is top, literally awesome job! Hope you make more good games to bring us happiness! Literally awesome work and animations, and girls costumes... That's fantastic work!

I rate all games based on 4 parameters.

Art/Render 7/10

Overall the renders look really good they just look a bit stiff. The jiggle during animations is not nearly enough.

Story 6/10

It's alright. You being mind controlled (not exactly) by some ancient demon and made to go around and fuck your family isn't exactly the most interesting thing in my opinion but its okay.

Gameplay VN/10

Typical VN with a few choices and a lot of text.

Amount of Content 7/10

There is a lot of content but the distribution for people who actually read is not very good.

4/5 overall solid VN with a few small issues.

Word of advice to devs out there: When creating characters, on a sexiness scale of 1-10, shoot for 7s, 8s, and 9s. The dev here tried to make everybody a 25, and that simply doesn't work. When every character has a body and face a supermodel would kill for, the end result is extremely lifeless and boring.

When MC's mom and sisters are hanging around the house, they're always dressed like they're attending the gala event of the century or they're lounging around in exotic underwear like some billionaire's housepet.

The hair, eyeliner, fake fingernails, clothing, and high heels are all black, as are the paintings on the wall and everything else. All black is neither sexy nor spooky. It's just lifeless and boring.

The demon story is good, and technical aspects of the writing (spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc.) are excellent, but the human dialogue is boring, and the medieval demon dialogue is laughable. Most characters are unpleasantly bitchy.

The UI is very good with two exceptions: MC's thoughts are rendered in gray, which is hard to read, and there's a strange intermediate menu which adds extra keystrokes if you simply want to save your game. Aesthetically, it's excellent.

I recommend demanding your mother's ID before having sex with her. She looks exactly like your little sister.

Animated 3D game, an original story with decent lore, plus a legit plot device that drives LIs cock crazy? 5 stars.

Minus 1 star that it went through 1 reboot, but I'm hopeful this game will eventually get the complete tag. Potential 5 stars then!

I played it before rework, and it was good, little bit funky but good. Story was intriguing, art was good. Then developer (i believe name was santaras) Announced rework, and i thought as most games rework, will not be as good and i didn't touch it after that. Boy was that a mistake.
Now story is really progressing, characters are interesting, each with their own berry, art as i mentioned was good, now for me even better.
After joining Discord sever i saw how invested and detalied Dev makes updates and dev Logs ( That's another thumbs up for me)
Also will buy game on steam to support the dev,
So i suggest to try it, and not to skip to fucking scenes.
Can't wait how the story will continue.

Bright Lord is honestly one of the better adult games out there. The art is beautiful, the world feels alive, and there’s actually a real story to get into — it’s not just random scenes thrown together. The characters are well-designed, with different looks and personalities, and the game mixes solid strategy elements with the adult content really well.

Scenes are hot but also feel earned because the writing is actually good. Plus, the game looks and plays super smoothly, which makes it easy to get lost in for hours.

If I had to nitpick, almost all the characters have pretty much the same body proportions. Would've been nice to see a bit more variety there. But honestly, that’s a small thing in an otherwise great experience.

Everyone's taste is different. To me, this game is a solid 5/5.

I thought the game was great before the rework. But the rework made it EVEN better .

This is a great, interesting game with beautiful character models. All the ladies in this game are all gorgeously beautiful, even our BADDIES! The renders are superb! The story is simple, easy to follow, and engaging. I LOVE the interactions/relationships between all the characters, especially MC & Mr. Bright Lord himself. The animations are improving. I believe this game is just going to get better with every update .

All the content in the gallery is mmm, mmm, mmm, delicious! This game has SOME beefy content for you to enjoy .

I guess the only negative thing I can say about it is, "After it's finished, I'm always wanting more .

4.4/5
Pretty interesting story and characters, high quality renders. Some of the texts ended up being too long and I skipped through but it still seems like quite an interesting story.

Hoping to see more content with MC accepting the corruption rather than actively pushing against it for so long.

While browsing for new stories to assimilate entertain myself on these dire times, I stumbbled with this one by complete accident...Wish I had accidents like this one more often because I had a great time, Bright Lord be praised.

Story: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
Supernatural elements are hard to work with because they work on a fine line, they operate in a fragile balance that is harder and harder to mantain the further the plot develops. Bright Lord works because the dev managed to keep these supernatural elements somewhat coherent with what we know or believe is possible.
Would have loved that my decisions could have a bigger role on the plot, but I respect the kinetic storytelling when its interesting to read, and more importantly, when I was never promised that my decisions would matter from the start.
The story is correspondingly dark from beginning to end (of current version), and the setting works well for the mind control and other morally reprehensible interests, I suggest giving instances to the player to explore these options depending on current love/corruption score.

Characters: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
They all look good, and here's the big but: where are the redheads man? This is the perfect way to get into the RCB's (Redhead Control Burau) Bad Boy's list.
I would say they are well written, in Chloe's case I would say maybe too-well written: she's a insufferable brat sometimes, but there's a reason for that so I approve and will endure with her personality, just like every man does when the booty is too good to let it walk away.
Even when they look absolutely gorgeous, their personalities dont vary enough: Chloe and Liza for example, they look different from each other, but they are so similar at the same time.
Liked the lack of chemistry at first between MC and the Bright Lord himself, how he even mentions another char would have made a better host but he decides to stay nonetheless, even makes a joke later, that's relationship development, well done dev.

Mechanics: 5 Adamant-Hard Bananas out of 5
No puzzles or minigames, as the Bright Lord likes it.
Didn't managed to score a single secret code though, and oh boy I tried.

Content: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
Scenes and renders are good, would love to have more control over the actions, but the in-game gallery has everything you have unlocked to revisit as much as you want.

Ending: *404*
Pending of Rating, will revisit when is ready.

Bright Lord is an interesting AVN: It remains coherent despite the fantasy setting, managed to make the dark fantasy work in a modern environment in conjunction with the adult elements, and made stunning heroines feel like real people too.
Please Dev, don't rush it, give your story enough time and space to develop all the characters, you did a promising work here, don't waste it just to haste progress.
For now... Congrats.
