VN - Ren'Py - Bright Lord [v1.2.0 SE Steam] [KissKiss Studio]

The VN has good renders and honestly good pacing which is a problem a lot of visual novels don't address but beyond that its just bad writing all the way down. Characters are extremely boring and simple, acting impulsively and irrationally, if this had been explained in the plot that'd be more forgivable but some of these motherfuckers are out here having screaming matches every other scene and they're supposed to be actual adults. Idk just seems like a lot. Still the pacing is genuinely good, with scenes keeping a brisk momentum and you're never really greeted by walls of unnecessary text which is nice. A lot of VNs just have characters spew dialogue at you that's either uninteresting, poorly written, or completely unnecessary and for the most part this game doesn't do that even if the writing itself isn't great, at least there's not much of it yknow. Only reason this gets average instead of poor is because of the production value though which I was actually surprised with, there's music, interesting scenes, even some bordering on creepy, audio stings, etc. Its clear the author put in work here and if they could improve their writing abilities or include a writer in their next project I think they could actually make some nice stories.

Great renders and beautiful models - this is all that is good in this game. Writing is bad to imbecilic levels. Characters irritating, dumb, immature and in general they behave very irrationally for the sake of childish drama. Mother is an aggressive tyrant; the older sister is a dumb bitch; MC is a moron with "I'm always wrong" syndrome, and only the younger sister is fine most of the time. Story and events are soaked with cheap drama based on characters stupidity and immature behavior. The story premise is good, but delivery is just horrible. A lot of plot holes, inconsistencies and generally low-quality writing ruin even the slightest possibility for immersion in the story.

For this game to be fine, it needs a writer who, before writing this mess, at least googled "how to write a simple script"

Rapes his own mom

MC: "Apparently I'm the bad guy here!"

Yeah...sums up the writing of this particular VN. So another one with high-quality bimbos, very hot, jerky-jerky fucky fucky. But you feel bad wanking to this because apparently everyone is socially inept than a pimple-faced teenager.

Margarie is such a bona fide crackhead trailer park mom who has mood swings that swung harder than the modern American political spectrum. I'm surprised she hasn't gotten her own alcoholism and meth addiction subplot. Chloe suffers from an unfortunate disease called the broke bitch big sister dumbslut syndrome, so their personalities are to be the biggest most insufferable stereotypes of wincest adult games as possible.

The only person reasonable is somehow the little sister Emily who actually calls MC childish because MC is a bozo who thinks he's level-headed yelling with everyone else while having his head inside his own own ass.

All this on top of a corruption plot where your Jojo stand needs cum energy to fight a powerful bimbo because your dad told her that he preferred banging your mom, I'm fucking lost after allat.

It deserve a "good" 4 stars, although it is a 3.5 in reality.

The plus: Really good modelisation and lightings. The girls are beautiful, they have beautiful eyes and faces avoiding the uncanny valley. the scenery are nice, the animation clean.
Corruption theme for those who dig that.

The minus:
Girls have all the same physical attributes with barely the hair colour or cut allowing to differenciate them. All big boobed, big hipped bimbos.

The writing is average, there is some worldbuilding and an interesting premise but it fails to deliver or even offer some progression. That s where the corruption side fails, girls tend to stay the same.

H scenes are vanilla and quite boring, very short and with little buildup or conclusion.

Conclusion: it s an above average VN thanks to the high quality of models and animations, it will be proper material for one handed gameplay will pressing ctrl to skip the useless story... But it will be forgotten just as fast.

The premise is interesting (basically "gods" take over human vessels), but outside of a crusade reference for a short backstory it is minimally fleshed out. The story seems to bounce around without any real plot or character development.

The writing in general is a weak point. The characters barely have a personality and the personality they do have is wildly inconsistent. Choices do not seem to matter that much outside of mild flavor choices. There is not much content for a 4 year old game, and the story is not close to finished. Character models are pretty stereotypical for how most AVNs go. Overall I would not suggest it.

Most important part, the girls are smoking hot (except the boobs). This game is one of games where the eyes of women are the most beautiful. Beside the women, the graphic are very good. There is no bugs. At least i did not find any throug my gameplay. The collectabels are fun. Some of them are very hard and some of the are easy. The atmosphere and the music/voices are very good.

The story is awesome, interesting (except the forced mind control), creative and unique. Sadly it looks too linear. The player do not have much impact on the story. The decisions are simple. The characters personality feels simple as well.

The language is great. Easy to understand even for poor english speakers.

insane good story with crazy renders. one of the best games I ever played. the game is a 10/10 cant wait for more content. I am excited how the story will be go in the future updates. great job and good luck...

I really enjoyed this one. The artwork is fantastic and the story was a surprise. I thought it would be completely different and usual but it was quite original. Can't wait for more. Did I mention how great the models are?

I've played for a couple hours, just finish it, here are some pros and cons:

+Pros:
- Character : Top tier, amazing looks, definitely top 5 or even top 3 most beautiful girls model for me, especially Margarie, best MILF ever ! Their breast and body overall are also perfect.
- Render : High quality, stunning, very details, like the glistening skin or the glimmering light on certain scene, showing off the beautiful detail on characters , the scenery/view around you very well.
-Story : May not be top tier writing, but interesting enough to care about, and not just skip to sex scene, choice dont seems to have much impact yet, maybe on later update, also have a hidden corruption/love stat for each girl.Content currently is bit too short ngl.
-Music and ambience : good.

+Cons:

- ANIMATION: here comes the biggest flaw of this game, the bloody sex animations, the core of all porn games, its not bad, but barely qualify as average, most are like a 1-2 frame 2 sec loop ,scenes are short, like 3 click/3 line of text and done, swap to new position, or just end quite abruptly, some scene have 1 BJ, 1 sex position then done, around 6-7 click to finish a scene, some scene are just terrible, they start fucking like a bunch of elders with scoliosis or sth, slo mo thrust ,barely moved or have face expression,physics etc at all, a few scenes are way better, like with multiple position and such, but still a bit short overall, also very little to no camera /view angle change on most scene, and to top it off, the lack of animated climax/orgasm/cum shot to wrap it up on most scene, most end quite abruptly .

+Conclusion: Bright lord is a 4 star game for me and i definitely recommended it to everyone, buy it on Steam to support the dev , the only thing i think need to be improve is the sex animations, personally i would rather get 2 scene per update or so but are more well done, long, greater quality overall, like Eternum, Ripple, or Anna exciting affection chap 2

A fun game that is fairly well polished but with a few annoyances.

The game has had some rather harsh reviews recently which I disagree with. Players here seem to be more petty compared to other games of similar quality. If a player doesn't like one thing or they wanted the author to take a different approach with later content they trash it in the reviews. Some of the reviews I don't feel are very fair to the author. The game is a solid four stars IMO.

Most of the game works well, with a good story, good writing, good English, good character models, plenty of lewd content, and good renders.

Annoyances

• Some of the breast sizes are a bit ridiculous! I love fantasy like the next person but when the breasts are too large it produces the opposite effect for me - it destroys realism and they look unattractive. Margarie and Megan's secretary are two examples and Margarie is a main character. Chloe and Liza's breast sizes are the biggest that I find attractive and don't find comical.
• Character development suffers through most of the game and at the end of the current content, I still don't feel very attached to any of the characters.
• For some odd reason, the dev thought it was a good idea to add his own menu to the game. Ren'Py has it's own default menu so now we have two. Anytime I want to save the game or do anything that requires the menu I have to make twice as many clicks due to the two separate menus. I don't see how the author can view this as being an improvement. Nearly every Ren'Py developer out there just edits and improves the default menu - no need to add a second one...
• The animations in the game are hit and miss. Some are well done while others defy physics and look unnatural. There are a dozen or more animations where the two people having sex barely move. There is almost no movement beyond perhaps one inch. Most of these poor animations are for vaginal sex. Why? Some good animations and some really lazy/lackluster ones.
• The author improves this in later releases but in the earlier ones the player has few choices on how to react to dialog/events/etc.
• More freedom with who the MC uses to gain energy would greatly improve the game - too linear currently
• Game takes itself too seriously and needs some good humor!

Overall a solid four star game with room for improvement.

I wish the author success on future releases and I recommend this game to others.

just came here to give bright lord its flowers for the massive improvement the game has made since the first time i played it, it wont change your life, but its an interesting premise, etherial vampire lords waging wars against each other in the plane of human psyche is a very unique idea, the models are gorgeous, but its definitely more porn than novel, however im giving it a high rating because if you've been playing it since the start you can probably see the sheer amount if effort the dev has actually poured into this game, say what you want about the final product but ill always respect a dev that not only puts forward a good game, but has the love and work ethic to keep refining and improving where it falls flat for both their fans and im guessing pride as an artist and dedication to their vision, well done keep it up.
Tl;dr to me this game was 2 stars at the start now its a near 4 star game with 5 stars to the dev for all their hardwork

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.
