VN - Ren'Py - Let the Nightshine In [v0.16 Ch. 2] [Sieglinnde]

Fun looking models, but unfortunately the updates are coming slow and with little differentiation between ntr and vanilla. I have some hopes that will branch off more eventually, but hope is dwindling.

I liked the story, how he told his girlfriend about his dream and she said that he was a cuckold as a joke, the moment where they study cuckold at the computer is also good, I think we need to add a little more experience on the topic of cuckold and not rush, I hope his childhood friend too will participate in ntr

Let the Nightshine In is a VN with a heavy emphasis on ntr. While there's technically a non-ntr route, it has very little content at this point. I'm not really sure why devs bother to make what is essentially two different games just to attract or dodge different fetishes since it feels like it sucks the soul right out of a game (not in a good way), but I digress.

While there's not a huge amount of content as of yet, there are some distinct grammatical/spelling issues throughout the game. While it's certainly not MTL, there were a number of moments with poor word choice and a rare time or two when I had no idea what was being said.

A second issue I had was the lighting and color choice. The game feels supersaturated, and this is coming from someone who typically doesn't pay attention to stuff like that. Everything feels uncomfortably bright. The vaporwave style font used in some scene dividers is also almost painful to read, but that may be just my opinion.

With the technical qualms out of the way, the story is adequate. It's not doing anything groundbreaking, as I've played a few sex games where the male MC fantasizes about sharing his ex-slut girlfriend and she agrees when he brings it up. I guess it's good enough to introduce the fetish, but it's nothing new.

The characters are fine, but it definitely feels like they know each other far better than we get to know them. There's been hints of a turbulent past between various characters, but nothing is ever told directly to the reader. While I don't mind a little foreshadowing or teasing, it's another thing when characters' actions are based on events and backstory the readers don't know. I'm left feeling out of the loop, not curious.

Lastly, the models are fine, but barely a step away from default honey select. I'm fairly sure I've seen the same main character in a dozen different games. I get that the guy isn't very important, but come on.

Overall, I feel like the game has some promise, but the over saturation is the real dagger. Without using some darker colors or adding some shadows, I feel like the game borders on unplayable, no matter how good the story.

I didn't play the previous version made with real porn... And the reviews here didn't help much since they only refer to that version, but as far as this new version with this engine... Personally I liked it a lot. It's the best way in my opinion to build the NTR, I can't wait to see some interracial situation with Tyrone or something like that. I would really like to see something between Ariana and the mc's father as well. I hope the next update will be out soon.

Critique - v0.3 demo

The content seems a little too cuck orientated, the fact that almost all the girls in the game are fucking or could fuck black cock is a bit much. Some unique character profiles/ pathways would be better.

Use of porn is good.

English is good enough to understand the game, not good enough to understand the subtle hints during conversations.

I don't like that MC back story, how his past love was seduced by someone else, it's just unnecessarily painful and isn't a turn on at all. Then the same black guy also fancies your current gf? Not even remotely realistic.
Setting up the game full of cucking scenarios with little to no story and quick adultery makes for quick fap opportunities but little motivation to play the game long term.

FYI this review was for the previous version of the game that used real porn.

Very enjoyable story, just needs more content now as the demo is short, will be keeping this on my watch list for sure.
I like the direction the plot is going and the images are all very good, I would enjoy more sex options personally, such as different positions and longer videos to add more content in the future.

Your usual short demo that is found here and elsewhere but it covers content I'm interested in. It's average in content but the models look great even if they won't match any porn stars because they're actors and models. I'll send some encouragement to Sieglinnde but seriously we need more before we can accurately judge. You really needed to add stuff to the other paths so people can have an accurate representation of what kind of content is going to be in the game. Right now there's only the NTR route and all other options lead to dead ends.

Just a heads up for people that do try it, the in game mute does not mute everything. Use your OS's volume controller as I was surprised by some loud moaning all of a sudden.
