There's a porn app the MC uses that references middle-eastern, Asian, Latina, and Indo-Iranian ethnicities, so I think that's a tip off both as to the writer's preferences and to what the characters are supposed to be.

It seems clear to me, based both on facial features and on in-game elements (like the trip to the museum, story of lot, the diet she puts them on and her vegetarianism, etc.), that they're probably intended to be of broadly Persian ethnicity (Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, north India), rather than Arabian-North African (Arabian peninsula, Egypt, Libya), although the latter is also very possible. If this is not your thing I understand, but I can promise that if you allow yourself to get into the story you'll get past that, and the intimate scenes (models and writing and anim) are hot as fuck.

This is one of the sweetest, funniest, most poignant, most sophisticated, and most charming porn games/stories I've ever seen. The concept and backstory and how that's handled is one of the best I've seen. It's rare to see a porn game that actually has any sort of spiritual depth or which provides insight into how people actually understand their own relationships and what's important to them in it, and this has that more than any other. Picture Acting Lessons, Haley, etc. and you start to get the idea, but don't really quite approach what's happening here. These are people struggling with a loss, failing to deal with, but desperately trying to find a way to do so.

I can't stand the idea of incest, so I had to flag the characters as step-daughters (since nothing more distant made any sense with the story). It's a shame then that it so often tends to be mostly incest games that handle these themes of loss, longing, and relationship depth so well. I suspect that they appeal to people not so much who fetishize the breaking of this taboo but who just have a dearth of familial love or have experienced loss of family just like this, either through divorce or death or what have you. In fact I can practically guarantee this in light of the fact that the MC in these types of games so often tends to be a divorcee or widow (DMD, DFD, TFMG, etc.), although in other cases it's the loss of a father or a distant father or family (FF, WTHI, DOD, MC, PL, etc.). There's a whole lot of Oedipal and Electran things going on in these games that I don't have room to get into, but this one handles those issues in one of the most sophisticated, sensitive, direct, and understanding ways possible.
I may be wrong, and thinking of another game, but I was sure that I saw Macy use the word Puta a couple of times, and if I am correct then I would say more Latin or South American. I could be wrong and thinking of another game.

what kind of update is this? is the dev joking with us?
Always read the changelog before commenting. It clearly states what was added (in this case, no new real content).

Also check the version number: Ch.4 v0.5.2

The next major update will be v0.6

If the update has a second decimal, chances are it contains bug fixes or narrative corrections, not new content.

At first I wasn't to sure either about this game but then I decided to try it. The girls are actually better looking then the banner shows once you get into the game. I like the story line as well and the animations are first rate. I would actually recommend anyone to at least give this VN a shot. I think it is worthy of at least a try.

Also these girls have some of the best looking nipples I have seen in many other games on this site.

This game's really good. Underrated as hell. I neglected to play it since the first release only to come back recently. Writing's fantastic and I actually grew to like the aesthetic. Keep up the great work. Now to wait for the next release.

I sometimes use the word Puta. I'm not Spanish, Latin or South American in any way. I just like the word.
Oh I do too. Gonna go back and see if there were more that could shine a light on it. D, and M, both remind me of some of the women I met in Rio de Janeiro, and in Juarez, but also remind me of others I met around the world. I just want to say that I saw other things in this game that gave me that feel, so going to make sure that I am not confusing with any other game.

Just a heads, if no one mentioned this before. Walkthrough links etc. in OP doesn't point to the right post if the page post count has been set to anything other than standard (20).

Longwinded and admittedly speculative thoughts about the ethnicity of the characters. Feel free to read or not, but you may find something herein that educates or amuses you. The ethnicities listed in the MCs porn app, the last in particular, seem to be the most direct clues, but there are many others and I want to mention some of them. My own conclusion is at the end.

DIET: the concerns about "pure" diets (vegetarianism, good vs. bad spices, etc.). This is something reflected most especially in Indian ideas about the "three gunas" and "sattvic" diets. The specific foods recommended are all "sattvic" and "rajasic", and the foods avoided are all "tamasic". This is very specifically Indian, as is the vegetarianism. Some of these ideas are also reflected to a lesser extent in Islamic ideas about avoidance of intoxicants (caffeine). All of the listed foods are tropical in origin, being grown throughout large parts of both Indonesia, India, and the Mediterranean.

DRESS: Look at what Denise wears to the museum. I can't place the ethnic origin but I think it's likely a big clue. Whoever made that resource knows more.

RELIGION: Story of Lot / Haran: This seems to me a tip that the writer is more than just versed in religion but actually may be Islamic or something close (at least that he inherits a lot of his beliefs from Islam or the big three), though it's unclear whether Sunni or Shia, though I think (just think) that respect for Lot is more prevalent in Sunni communities rather than Shia, despite Shiites being I think generally more favorable and open to public displays of respect for saints and prophets. It does suggest that, regardless of whatever may be their specific sect, the writer / characters are not Wahabbist or Saudi nor are they from regions very strongly influenced thereby. So, for example, they seem more likely to be Lebanese than Saudi, more likely to be Syrian than Qatari, etc.. When I talk about the writer and/or characters being or not being x, y, or z religion, I'm not talking about what they themselves actually practice so much as what their dominant background historical and cultural influences are. I use the characters as a surrogate for the writer because I think no one writes this kind of thing without having been a part of it.

" GYPSY GIRLS": another poster said "I know lots of gypsy girls who look like this." and that seems essentially correct to me. Although it's hard to judge, the models seem most likely to be specifically inspired by a racial grouping (macro-ethnicity) extending in a large belt from Romania, to Greece, through Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, northern Iraq, Iran, and somewhat even into India. A lot of these features and this ancestry also extend throughout large swathes of the Mediterranean region more generally (North Africa, Spain, parts of France, Albania), but it seems more specific to Persia. This, together with the next clue and the dietary clues, seem to be decisive for me if I were a betting man.

"LIGHT": "Light" is not centrally a Judeo-Christian-Islamic spiritual motif but is a pre-Christian one, specifically it's Avestan, Vedic, Zororostrian, Yazidi, Manichean, etc.. This suggests very, very strongly, together with the previous clues, that the writer is portraying characters whose spiritual beliefs are very heavily influenced by old Aryan-Persian religion (and the writer's him or herself also likely are). This sort of emphasis of "light of the world" makes its appearance in more doctrinal Semitic beliefs (Judeo-Christian-Islamic), such as in Matthew 5:14 and John 8:12, but mostly only second-hand by things like Greek and Gnostic writers who introduced it there.

DEATH: The portrayal of death and the afterlife and immortality is more suggestive of these "pagan" ideas - Zoroastrian, Hindu, Buddhist - than of orthodox Semitic religion. It's more like the Buddhist bardo, the Hindu idea of liberative return to Brahman. etc. Her presence in the desert is even a geographic tip. She, although going elsewhere, is also disseminated throughout other souls. The idea of the unity of souls, the soul or atman/jivatman, this dichotomy about its fate, and these concepts of afterlife are things that are most present in religions and philosophies that center on Greece (Plato's anamnesis and metempsychosis, Aristotle's "one soul in two bodies", Hellenism and Stoicism, etc.), India (atman and jivatman, as well as Buddhist ideas of deconstruction of the psyche). These are really clear clues, together with "light", the diet, etc. what these characters believe and where they get their beliefs from.

SO WHAT ARE THEY?: The girls are almost certainly of broadly Persian ancestry, and their family from a region very heavily influenced by both Islamic and Gnostic thought, though probably not Muslim themselves. Their specific nationality or ethnicity can't be more clearly fixed, although it seems likely that they or their family hail from a coastal nation with both deserts and seas (The Levant?, Iran?). They may be of Zoroastrian, Druze, Ismaili, or Yazidi descent, and if I was forced to pick just one I would guess Druze.







Lastly, I just want to say that these models, and more importantly every woman who inspired them, are incredibly beautiful and should embrace themselves and their beauty. In researching this issue I found out that more Iranians get nose jobs than any other nation in the middle-east, and four times as much as Americans. Everyone can do what they want, but personally I find this fact very sad, and I find the people and cultural trends pushing them to it to be disgusting. Just my opinion.

I've quite enjoyed the game and it's clearly a top one, listed on this site.
I am wondering, however, where's the "incest" part covered since you never engage sexually with neither Denise nor Macy except

Macy and Denise are sisters. So even if you don't consider what MC was doing with his daughters to be sexual acts (personally I do), it's clear that those two have certainly commited incest together.

This is one of the sweetest, funniest, most poignant, most sophisticated, and most charming porn games/stories I've ever seen.
Apostate , I couldn't have said it better myself. The very first VN I played after discovering this site more than a year ago was Milfy City, just due to all the good reviews and it seemed to be popular. At the time, I never expected adult VNs to be more than fun diversions. After finishing that and reading recommendations on the threads I started trying more story-centered VNs such as Acting Lessons and Haley's Story. It was quite eye opening to see the depth of character and story that some devs were putting into their VNs. I was hooked.

Then I played Light of My Life. The first thing you notice are the unique models. I remember thinking they are quite a departure from the western swimsuit model type that we tend to see here. They were cute, so it kept my interest. It started off a little confusing. Why does Macy seem to hate me so much? What's with the poorly remembered night scene? Why would Macy be so mad that I drunkenly kissed her? A little cold or embarrassed maybe, but she seemed furious. Why? Then as the story slowly started to reveal itself, we got to see how much Denise was hurting also.

Every update has been better than the last. This story really hit me like a ton of bricks. It's wonderful. How can a "porn game", have so much warmth, love, humor, sweetness, and compassion, and also be so hot and sexy at the same time? It's really ironic to me.
Anyway, I don't want to embarrass Naughtyroad, but he has really created something special with Light of My Life that really speaks to me more than any other game here. I've played a couple hundred games here, and there are about 25 that I consider great or near great, but Light of My Life stands alone in my book as something unmatched.

Myself I thought they were more Indian looking, maybe because of the darker skin tone and the fact Dad works in IT. A generalization I know but that is what pops into my mind when playing.

Huge spoiler. Maybe don't read it until you've played the game, but I can't just let this ridiculous question go unanswered or let anyone mistakenly think that this isn't an incest story.
