VN - Ren'Py - Light of My Life [Ch. 8 v0.8.1] [Naughty Road]

Love the renders, love the latina characters. Let's see where the story goes. I really wish the creator(s) incorporate more of latin culture, make it vague enough where it intesects with most, if not all, of our latino cultures. Maybe more dancing scenes? More user input to refer to certaing things/body parts. Overall pretty fucking good! I pledged to the creator on Patreon.

By far one of the best games on the site. This is an absolute must play. It's very much a VN that goes straight through, but you do seem to have some control over the events. Looking forward to the next build. Time to check the Patreon.

Best game on this site. The renders are unique and beautiful. The scenes are hot and the story is great. This is a must play for the people of this site.
Sidenote: the dev is very active on this site and listens to the fans.

This is such a great piece of art. I genuinely laughed out loud, I cried, I jerked off, I got angry and I was worried.

I really like the models, I think the style is unique, interesting and very hot. But obviously that's a matter of taste.

The story is not groundbreaking in the incest genre, but it has really nice execution and pacing, which many other games lack. It also manages to be believable and make sense given the characters and personalities present.

The only downside I can think of, is that many choices only give different flavour text, while others that may seem that way actually makes a difference. I found myself going back and checking all the choices for the best outcome a bit too much, sometimes unnecessary. But that might just be me trying to have a perfect playthrough in terms of what I'm hoping to accomplish, and not really an issue for anyone that just picks a choice and commits.

Overall the game is really good. I like the renders and how they look very realistic. Most games don't have the npc's with more than one facial expression or blinking eyes. Can't wait to see what the future updates look like. I like how I can change the "relationships" without having to use any type of patch. Of course I changed "caretaker" and "ward" to...well most people understand. "wink" "wink"

The only thing from keeping this game from being a 5 star is the lack of a really good UI. It would be nice to have a UI phone like a lot of games have. That way it would be easier to see where the relationships are with each NPC in the game.

Ironically the overall high quality of the game makes it much harder to accept the few inconsistencies that remain.

This mainly comes down to two major issues:

For one, the behaviour of the two 'wards' absolutely does not reflect their age. At times it can be hard to believe that they are supposed to be any older than 12 respectively 14 years old. The younger of the two has considerable gaps in knowledge and the older one seems to be in puberty.

Additionally, the still very convincing way in which the conversations between the characters are depicted, makes it painfully obvious that the MC sees the girls very much as his daughters. However, the game makes it hard for the player to aknowledge this, as it not only lacks loves interests outside of the family, but also actively warns you, when you are about to leave the incest route.

Obviously, incest and (for lack of a better word) loli behavior ar very common in games, but they are usually coupled with a way less serious and realistic setting.

This is why this game sometimes feels like an awkward mixture between a dark drama and parody porn.

The game's got heart & it's gonna make you feel things. It's an excellent visual novel that also happens to be very naughty & sexy. But the core of the game is just about love and overcoming lives hardships, together. 10/10 would recommend !

This, to me, is a five star game.

The writing is simply superb to any other game I've played of this type and I have played many. Granted, if all you're looking for is an excuse to fap, then you would be better off looking elsewhere. Where other creators are content to churn out comic books and pulp fiction, Naughty Road instead decided to create a Graphic Novel.

The story within this VN is deep, heart-warming and at times heart-breaking. I cannot compare this game to any other property on this site because there simply isn't one to compare it with. I started this game with a box of tissues, looking to fap, but ended up using the tissues to dry my tears instead.

Sometimes because of the delightful humour, like the unintential innuendo in main offender Macy's dialogue. The seemingly random, but oh so raunchy co-worker encounters. The gentle poking of fun at certain VN tropes (hello, shop-lady).

And many times because of the post-mortem character of the dear mother. One of the most effective uses of a dearly departed character that I have seen, not just in VN's but in all media. I was not prepared to bring the waterworks, yet this game managed to constantly coax them out of me.

Some critisize the character models, but for me they worked and added to the charm and appeal of the game. Despite their unconventional and cartooney styling, they felt more real and life-like than the picture perfect models that are overused in other games.

Give this game a chance and you will not regret it.

It's kind of incredible how hot it is. It tries real hard to justify its setting and motivations and the scenarios built up are well rendered and sexy and great fun.

Overall, one of the best around. When more smut is added, I'd like to add I'd perhaps even go as far as to rate it the best around.

Honestly the game is pretty fun. The story goes in a great pace, with its cast getting more and more interesting. I really enjoy the style of the characters, and i'm aware that maybe it's not for everyone, but it is honestly interesting and attractive. The to main heroines are fun and they do feel more human than usual, which to me gives more depth to the game and story. They both have their own personalities and struggles, which grows throught the story, and it just gets better and better! I'm truly interested in the next chapters and i hope to keep following its development! Great work!

Enjoyable slow burn! Funny jokes and innuendos!
Though the plots were not special, they were easy to remember (which is good considering I have to wait for updates now) Also, how they presented was intriguing!
Non-typical and very intuitive dialogues!
Cartoonish characters. They move around, illustrating the current dialogues on screen!
Detailed environments!
Great picks of music for moments!

I kinda regret playing this before completion.

Review for the version : Ch.4 v0.5.0
Oh so first off, I came across this game several times before finally giving it a go. The character's faces weren't really appealing to me, and it's been a big turn off for a while, but then I browsed by "weighted ratings" and Light of my Life was so highly ranked that I just had to give it a try, and boy am I happy I did. I have to warn you tho, if you're only looking for a quick fap with ★★★★★ babes, don't waste your time on this game, but if you like a good, realistic story with complex characters, try this game, I'm almost certain you'll love it.

Graphics : 8/10
Light of my life has pretty good graphics, just not enough to make you go "daaaamn they outdid themselves". They are accessory to the whole game, you don't tend to notice them, it's exactly what you're looking for, unles you're a graphics freak. One thing worth noting is that the characters aren't that good looking. Not that their textures are bad or anything, but the design of their face, just like you'd call somebody ugly in real life, but it feels like it's a thought out choice. A lot of games use the same models from the same cheap / free libraries, and you end up seeing them over and over, used for different characters, which lowers the immersion quite a lot. Light of my light seems to have opted for custom homemade models, or maybe models from a completely different library than usual. It can be a turn on, or a turn off, it really depends on you.

Sound & Music : 9.5/10
One very strong point for this game is not only it's music, but how it is used. A lot of games don't even bother using music, and those that do mostly don't use it as well as they should. Light of my life uses the full potential of music in every scene it can, sometimes shifting dramatically from a genre to another, to create the perfect ambiance to support the storytelling. There could be more sounds, or better sounds, but it really isn't an issue, just trying to point out room for improvement.

Story : 10/10
Second best storytelling I've seen here, just after Our Fate - A new family. There isn't much to say; the caracters feel real, it's funny most of the time, every part of the game is used to enhance the storytelling, the events are realistic, you even wonder sometimes if the Dev went through some parts of it to nail it down so perfectly (the backstory, mostly). If you like a game with a good story, you owe it to yourself to play Light of my Life.

Gameplay : 7/10
There isn't much to say about the gameplay because it's a visual novel, but you kinda have a lot of choices, and even if some don't seem to impact the story, there are quite a lot that actually do, to an extent. There are "emotions" "love" "affection" stats for the characters and they seem to impact the story, but there are no ways, as far as I know, to look at the overall stats of the characters, you're simply notified when said stat changes, so there a bit of improvement to be done there.

Looking forward for future updates, which seems to come rather slowly.

Top of the line here. If you are bored of cliche VN, this one definitely stands out of that crowd. My curiosity to try this game was sparkled by original look of characters that reminded art of early VNs with a tint of cartoonish/caricature look, then seeing number of review and average score, just surprised how it skip my attention so far.
Overall, impressive art work, you may compare it to some VNs with photorealistic look, but they not get even close in term of immersion of story or giving you holistic game atmosphere like LOML does . Content delivery methods that control players focus during game another well done piece. Story may be slow paced for some tastes, but this VN of the one you should read trough when it comes to scenes preceding lewd scenes at least, this is where it shines with good narrative.
Sex scenes are not disappointing either, creator pays attention to avoid awkward physics and genitalia clipping, this is very tedious work I can imagine.

I love that none of the characters in this are the same models I've seen in so many other games. Their everyday struggles with work and life after a tragedy are both believable and relateable. Keep up the good work and ignore the trolls.

The author is certainly brilliant. True, it is not clear to me why he complicates his already difficult work? ....................................

However, despite all my attitude to the game, which I ignored because of the appearance of the characters presented on the cover, literally after half an hour of the game, the attitude towards them changes.

ps It's amazing how he managed to make sexually attractive personalities, souls ...

Probably the best Ren'Py game in F95zone. Very well made. Perfect work with sound, interesting story and characters, very engaging. On the top of that a great work with the imagery.
Well done!

There is no more to say, but these reviews need to have more words so I am adding them here.

This could be a good example of making a risky bet.

In an environment where Ren'Py games are full of calendar women, huge penises and perfect tits, this author shows us characters that very few would qualify as attractive. And that's not bad... In fact, breaking that monotony is what perhaps sets you apart from the rest.
When you decide to try it out you discover that the appeal of the novel is not in the characters, but in a well-told script that makes you empathise with the characters, immerse yourself in the story and look forward to the next chapter.

In the event that the characters are not your type, the game presents a good modeling of the characters, quite a few poses and a good development. Perhaps (to give you a point against) say that the scenarios are quite simple, but, ultimately, you should give it a chance.

The story telling is first rate and the girls are actually believable. Anger and angst is even palpable. The main characters come off as passble to real life characters. The Personal conflict is the well developed between the main characters and provides and engaging storyline. A story that is enjoyable and capturing.
Well done.

Original models and not the same old models, faces and bankgrounds you have seen in dozens of other games. Nice story line with some humor. Some kinks and lots of character. In short, one of the very best VN's out there. Looking forward to each update and unlike others, they don't take forever to drop.
If you're thinking about donating to a game, this should be a serious contender to do that.

I was actually unaware of this game at first until I saw it in the Recent Updates list. At first glance, I raised an eyebrow at the character models, but the tags and description fit what I am into for games like this so I decided to give it a shot anyway.

I was very pleasantly surprised. The character models are different than your typical 3D adult game, for sure. There seems to be an element of caricature to their design, which isn't wholly bad. In fact, it grew on me as I played through and I actually quite like it now. In a way I find the depiction of the characters in this game to be more on the realistic side compared to other adult games in this genre, where you can often see the same asset being used across games or even in the same game.

There is a lot of care put into the various scenes, including making the characters blink - which at least to me is practically unheard of, and makes me appreciate even the dialogue scenes even more. Judging from other comments this game has a very long update cycle in comparison to others but it seems to show - in a good way. Every update seems to be worth the wait, and the most recent one (Chapter 4/v0.5.0 - where I got into the game) seems to have really gotten things going. I also liked that the developer made a function in-game to avoid the necessity of a patch to change the characters' relationships to each other.

Writing-wise I am actually pretty into this story, and I like the alternative approach where the MC isn't really the one in control and is just kind of going along with things - particularly with regards to the two main girls. There do seem to be a few branching paths but nothing major as of yet.

Progression with each character feels natural and is part of the story. There do appear to be ways to regress or simply not progress due to your own choices, but there is also no grinding events or conversations to get "stats" up; every gain with a character is a result of actually interacting with and talking to each one in a relatively unique way. How natural it feels is the main reason I am enjoying it, I think.

I am very interested to see where this game goes in the future; despite at least one path being pretty obvious, and I am more than ok with patiently waiting for the next update.

Don't sleep on this one, folks.
