Ren'Py - Life in Santa County [v0.11.0] [Bold Bash Studios]

Version 0.4.2

Art: Sometimes pretty good, some faces suffer from deformity, some necks twist in weird angles. In the end it has too many flaws to call good or great.

Story & Characters: The characters don't click with me, and I consider them somewhere between forgettable and unlikeable. The prologue is just plain bad, it gets a little better after that, but not enough to recommend it.

On a side note, almost every sentence feels translated by a non native English speaker. With highlights like "It feels like I'm starting to make a meal out of him, to think too much. I have to get away. The way he make me feel is not right at all" ==> huh? An expression in some other language I guess. But it ruins the flow of the story.

Gameplay: It has a lot of free roam point and click stuff where you need to search for items, panties mostly but also money and other stuff. Then the order in which you do stuff matters, making it very easy to miss things.

TL;DR while it does some things pretty well, it has too many flaws to overlook and I recommend you skip it.

The prologue was kinda lame, but the first chapter was great, hopefully the game will continue on this direction, the writing got a lot better, the characters and the plot too, It has a good rhythm and is quite entertaining, I wish it had many more sexual scenes, but for a first chapter it has a lot of content.

I dare say that the developers of this game are the top developers after NLT Media

This game is one of the top 5 games so far

Stunning graphics and attractive scenes along with its good story make it the best game released in 2021.


Of course, the game has some drawbacks in the first part
But after the explosion, revolutionary changes have taken place

The firs part of the game is really good maybe a litle bit boring for someone, but after the explosion i can say became amazing. If you enjoy Being a Dik you relly need to give a try at this one. I really enjoyed the story and the character and i'm sure can became as good as Being a Dik . I really hope you guys ejoy it as much as i do.

Just needs a Mod, but the game it self is beautiful. Love the graphics, history, characters... Many big boobs, and nice scenes. The yellow fenix has one moment were the frames were choking. But every other scene was smooth.

What a great game. Renders are incredible. From a long time player of VN's...I'd certainly recommend

Only in to the second episode, but very impressed. The game really kicks in after the prologue.

Just played this game, surprisingly good, very interesting game interaction, the author is very imaginative, if the character modeling is more beautiful, it will be more perfect. Look forward to the follow-up of the story, come on!!

A really good game with constant updates and high quality models and renders. Can't wait to see how the story will develop. I would consider a top 10 game of this website, definitely deserves a 5 star rating.

Excellent images and animations.
MILFs and girls in general with excellent bodies. (my favorites Iris and Chloe)

Story to be very promising too.
(Made me very curious to know the whole mystery of the school and about Dave death.)

My score will CONTINUED being 5 to motivate the author to continue the game doing better and better!

the game has a hint system for the main tasks, but the gallery system seems to be the biggest reason for complaints from players, for having made the scenes and the gallery not being unlocked.

As a suggestion, I could include a Charisma and Intimidation meter so that we can better control the actions, as some scenes depend on these scores and we only have the information that we pass or fail in the scene.

version 0.11.0
For me it was the best update so far, mainly because the main focus was on Princess IRIS, the quality of the images and animations are better with each update.

Review for v0.4.2.

My main problem is the prologue. It just kind of sucks plain and simple, and that's mostly because of Ron: the MC's best friend.


Beyond that, the prologue just doesn't give the same feel as the actual episodes of the game. Pretty much everything gets better after it. So if you can suffer through it, you should enjoy what comes after more.

Without a doubt the best part about this is the renders. The character models and sex scene animations are pretty good as well. The sandbox element is actually one of the better ones I've played. It's a good blend of free roam and events if that makes sense. There is also this developing mechanic of either a "dominant" or "charismatic" personality type, and "rise and fall" choices? I think it's too early to say what those really do in the long run. Feels like I need a walkthrough though. There is a proper story developing and some deeper elements at play which I can appreciate. Lots of love interests as well which is always a plus.

The English could use some work. It's not horrible and I can get past it at the end of the day, but I wouldn't say it's good either and that's mostly because it just reads weird a lot of the time. My other problem is the pacing. There really isn't a lot of character development for how quick a lot of the sex scenes happen. Your sister is comfortable being naked in a pool with you pretty much right away as an example. It just feels nonsensical. But if you're a fan of things moving quickly and porn over plot, then you'll probably like this more than I did.

All in all: the prologue sucks but everything after it is alright. I think the writing and pacing could be improved a lot but part of that is due to personal tastes as well. This game seems like one that will get better with time so here's hoping. Give it a try and see what you think.

One of the best games I've played on here. I appreciate the DEV and much luck friend!

this 200 character thing is complete bs. side note....I'm literally out of words but I appreciate the DEV so much that I am going to keep on going. Fuck the 200 character rule

3 stars just for the nice renders. I can't stand playing a retard teenager who has the most punchable face in the history of porn games. This game is a living proof that a shitty story & turd like portrayal of MC can ruin the game for anyone.

Hi guys, hope y'all are doing fine, first of all I really need to thank you all the great team/devs of LISC, you're doing an amazing work on the game, so keep on doing this and please don't stop.
I just finished playing all the existing content at the moment of "Life in Santa County", a really good game tbh.
It has such great models, all the girls are gorgeous, the milfs are yummy.
In my opinion, the game has some rooms for improvement on some transitions between some scenes where I felt like It was missing some renders between them, like sometimes when the game switched the place and scene where the MC was at to another environment, but in the overall I see that the game has a great potential.
I'm really looking forward to the next updates.

the rendering is surpurp, very well done, the girls look amazing. it has some nice graphic in free roaming and the story so far has been interesting, cant wait for second episode... this game has some promising potential. it could very well become one of my top games to play.

Hmmm... this one is tough. The renders are top notch, but the girls all just look a bit... off. The sister is hot, the aunt is ok, and the mom is standard MILF fair.

But the story blows chunks. Every single place this guy goes... leads to another porn scene.

But the sandbox side of things is solid. PLenty of places to explore, and most of the time they make seense.
3 out of 5 is fair. Add other models in... should raise the score a bit.

Visuals are fantastic. Story is fine, setting a bit cliche, aside from the usual mom sister brother incest there is also an aunt and a cousin. Many interesting LIs, and the friendship between MC and that prat whatever his name is well depicted. Sex scenes are fire. Overall excellent so far. 5*. Keep up the good work.

Where have u been all this time
Can't believe I tried this unintentionally just for the love of MILF's but it really blew my mind. Got to give it to the dev cuz this has got so much huge potential. The story is captivating as u soon figure out that things aren't exactly what they seem to be. Likeable MC & gorgeous cast keeps u wanting for more. The best thing I loved the most was the sex animations holy shit this felt like a AAA game level animations especially that explosion scene, TBH never have I ever seen an explosion animation this polished in an AVN before(usually it's an explosion photo)

Now let's get to the issues so I know that the game is at it's early stage still:-
1st off needs some polish as there are still a few bugs especially when u text messages
2nd I'm still confused how the charisma or aggressive meter works as it felt like u have to choose 1 approach before each scene which felt kinda irksome won't it be better if the character personality is scored based on the choices u make throughout the game
(3)Lastly MC's BFF is annoying as fuck. Usually the friend is for the comic relief but this guy isn't funny at all & all he does is openly lusting after MC's family & pulling him into even more trouble. Not to mention when the friends mom was flirting with MC he got annoyed & called MC for checking his mom's ass , funny part is that this is the same guy who openly confesses how how much he loves MC's mom's titties ,want to sniff her panties & how much he wants to fuck her. Kindly make him less annoying or at least a lil more funnier

In the end I really did enjoy this hell a lot more than I anticipated & wish the dev all the very best as this is a gem that they created & all it requires is a lil polish to shine even more brighter

excellent renders
yet the storyline and the plotting style need a better juice to make it perfect
yes and there are also some question about the storyline that we need a logical explaination about that.
Oh boy i hope a lot of coming from this game,
definitely worth of waiting for another updates.
And btw can you Devs made Ron a more less annoying please
Goodluck Devs

The models are great and so are the renders. The storyline is average it can be better and there are a few grammar issues here and there. My biggest issue with this game is the lack of a walkthrough as there are many different scenes that I was not aware of .

AS OF 0.3:

One of the most promising releases in the past months.

The renders are done with care, they're really good.

The models are absolutely amazing(mainly the mom, I'm a MILF lover).

The storyline is enjoyable, there's a drug dealer plotline but I can't say for sure if it's good yet.

The biggest problem is the gramar, plese dev proofread the dialogues and the textless sex scenes that came on this upcoming update, spice things up with some dirty talk, it's the best.

CONCLUSION:

LISC is a great game with a lot to improve, if crafted with care and patience it can become one of the best games in here.
It doesn't deserve a 5⭐ rating but I had so much fun with it that I can't help but to give it to them.

Good luck and good job devs, you guys can do it!
