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

I was like "ha this game can't be so good" and I didn't play it for years. Like, literally, years. Let me type it again so I can use underline for emphasis now: years whoops years. But, I finally got around to being worn down by seeing it pop up in Latest Updates and being heralded as a masterpiece and:

YES IT REALLY IS.
IF YOU ARE HOLDING OFF ON THIS JUST PLAY IT NOW.

Been following him from the first day and the amount of effort author put into this game is undeniably great. He ok his time to create something amazing we could enjoy again and again.
And as we all know Best things took there time to be ready to play so am not even going to complain about how it took him so much time.
In the end we all know The Creator put lot of effort to create a really good adult game.
My 5 start review is enough to appreciate his effort.

Nothing but the best from naughty road. I have been on this since day one and I'm loving it.
This is the best game of all time in this genre, at least in my humble opinion. Someone get this dev a medal because he really deserves it.

really the best game for me. i enjoy the story, the charakters, and the look. the only downside it takes so long for a new version. but i guess quality takes time. i hope this game will never stop. 10/10

Really well written and animated. Lots of everything in the right measure. Really good game overall, deviating from the the typical boring game. Keeps the player looking forward for more the whole time and in between chapters.
Don't know what else to write xD.

Excellent! Gripping story that made me feel for the characters, i cried, got mad and i laughed , that combined with the fantastic visuals, makes this easily the best visual novel i have played so far.

I like this game too. The father saddened by the disappearance of his wife and the bringing together of these 2 girls. one managing it through rebellion and the other towards coming closer to the father figure. The design is original.
Keep it up, can't wait to see more.
nice job

Great game, graphics and animation. The story is to date the best I have come across. Would not be for everyone is heavy in story but if you like that them you definitely need to give this a try. Look forward to the next release.

All the thumbs up for this VN.

The story is well written, the characters are endearing...even the unlikeable ones, in their own way.

I completely intended to skip to the H-Scenes but the story sucked me in within a few minutes and I was completely hooked.

After so many tries, I can finally write my first review.

I have to admit that I honestly had little interest in this game at first because of the characters, but it's these characters with their quirks and quirks that make this game so special, it's so lovingly crafted that it's hard to put the right words into a translator that they do the game justice.

Another big plus is naughty visibility, even for people who don't support him ( of course I support him nervously looking left and right) they always get enough information about the state of things.

SUBJECT: LIGHT OF MY LIFE will take you on a journey of self and how you relate with other people.

I have been playing adult games on and off for years now. Long enough to know the difference between hack jobs and the people that are actually trying.

This game is hands down (even though incomplete) perhaps the best adult game I have ever come across, and actually one of the best dialogue driven games I have played (to include non-adult themed games).

This is a story game, and it really tells.

Things I liked:

1. The dialogue in this game can't be compared to anything else, especially for a Renpy based game (the script in so many other games can be absolutely ludicrous sometimes).

2. The characters feel real to the point where I found myself relating to them and their issues.

3. The characters have solid depth to them, especially the older gal, you can tell she is going through a lot, so when you finally make it with her it actually feels like a major triumph. The road getting there is long but well worth it.

4. The creator of this game with the in-between cutscenes, and the solid sarcasm (like if you try to change the name of characters or your "member" to make it sound larger than it actually is). He also acknowledges a lot of what goes on with these games being released and condemns people trying to sell it.

5. The fantasy metaphors used to explain the psyche of the characters in detail, so you as the player can understand what they are going through.

6. Arguably the younger gal is the one that is probably the least believable, but she works well as a "vessel" to help you the player get to the next station of the story or advancing your relationship with the characters. All in all a very good use of what in other games would be wrote off as shallow, somehow turns that notion of a younger woman being naive into someone that is human, playful, and wants to explore a wider world.

7. The graphics are probably the best use of this gaming software I have seen to date, and I am not talking about them being the best looking graphics (animations, renders, etc.). The characters are unique, and not recycled from another game. They actually almost look human, more realistic and less anime driven.

8. The use of the deep metaphors regarding this particular taboo that makes you actively question the ethics involved and even somehow jumps into the realm of spirituality.

I am going to be up front about this, whomever wrote the dialogue and the plot for this game is wasting their talents on porn/adult games.

They have so much potential to do a lot more, and I hope they keep doing it.

Take all of the adult stuff aside (especially the taboo theme of the game) and you have a very very interesting story worth exploring.

I have NEVER had an adult game make me almost take a spiritual journey before now, and I have played a number of adult games (again on and off) for years.

I will say that while it can be fun to explore this particular taboo via a video game, in real-life this type of behavior would be totally unacceptable and often in the real world is more sinister in nature than benevolent, so I would be an advocate against this sort of stuff in reality.

I like the review of one of the other members on here (Fuchsschweif)
that comments more in depth about the elements of this game are just simply unnatural and would not work in the real world.

I think most people that are actually on this website would actually be advocates against this particular taboo, because we often see in the news how something like that is not only a bad idea but it is a type of manipulation that can be extremely damaging to individuals.

In that respect to that, however, this game is still good, and even if you removed the taboo element from it, I think it would still hold up. Somehow the creators of this game managed to find an almost acceptable route to follow to pursue the ideas therein, which given the subject material is actually kind of impressive in its own right.

Again, not supporting this type of taboo, but in this game in respect to the dialogue and the motivations of the various characters (to include the gals that are sentient actors in their own right) seems to just somehow work.

Let me tell you, if you feel uncomfortable with this material, I don't blame you and it okay to walk away feeling icky.

This is the first game I have seen in this particular genre where you the player truly question the deeper ramifications of having relations with another person (adults of course), and especially between people where this type of dynamic just wouldn't work.

I give this game a solid 5 out of 5 stars:

A. Ready for the next addition to the game
B. Yes I should feel bad for enjoying this game, and yet I don't care
C. Would play again, and would love to play other games from same creator

I have one problem with this game, and only one. The depth of the story, my investment in the characters and their interactions, have left pretty much every other VN I play seem rushed and inconsequential in comparison.

I cannot praise this story enough. If I had to make one complaint, it is that the bits of non-consent in the camping scenes made me a little uncomfortable, but that's purely a personal reaction and not something I would expect anyone else to share.

It is the best game on this side, period. It is a very slow burn but man, the characters are just so good you feel that you are with a family of two beautiful daughters. One of two games on this site that makes the girls truly human, instead of simple fuck toys for people to fap all over. (the other one is Duel Family, shame its creator might have coc themselves to death or on their way there.)

I really appreciate the care that's been put into the writing in this. Top notch. The character models aren't the typical fare, either. Each one is distinct, and none are the typical mold. All around a unique experience.

everything is said at the other reviews.
if you like incest games you have to play this one.
the only 2 negative things i can add is that the 3 freaky office girls cant be renamed and sometimes there is a feeling of groundhog day.

Not much too add to all previous reviews.
This is an awesome game. It has a great detailed story. Characters are unique and progression is on point. It's less of the just-get-to-fuck-everyone-right-away-games and its sex scenes are not spammed all over the game but this makes it just better.
I have to admit that in the beginning I was a little skeptical because of the unique artstyle but honestly in the end it made it so much more relateable and more realistic and authentic. It's seriously one masterpiece of its kind.
There is no comparison to anything outthere.

The only very very little flaw you may feel is that there is no real animations. Animated slide shows at best but actually it didn't lower the fun and rewarding feeling in any way.

To sum it up:
Awesome dad-daughter-daughter incest game with long detailed and deep story. If you are a porn-VN "with story" fan, this is by far the best out there.

It's an excellent game I've been playing for hours and for some reason it's addictive I would like to find more games like this since I'm about to finish it.
The progression system is quite good, it doesn't go to the point like many games, it gives you a feeling of wanting more.

The dev is creative & makes quality work. The game delivers a unique experience & sets a new standard for VN adult games. The characters, dialogue and story are top notch. He understands the audience and gives them what they want.

The game is sooo well done, but I can't play it. First of all, 50% of the time I'm trying not to cry because of the dark past and the loss of "my" wife, the game goes really hard on how depressive and lonely that feels and how you miss her but can't get her back.

The other 50% is the fact, that these two daughters are just so damn cute and loveable! I didn't even make them blood-related because that would've been to much for me (they're the daughters of my wife, their mom, but I am just her husband, only their caretaker since she passed away), still the game is so immersive that any sexual desires are completely wiped away, this speaks more to my actual caretaker side, of being an actual normal father.

Makes me wish this was a real game without sex, or at least without involving my daughters. Especially the little one, she's so cute, so naive, and needs so much guidance in her life.

I found this game in a thread where it was all about games where women would make the MC do naughty things (instead of the other way round).

But I still feel since she's just young 18 and very needy for protection and affection without any sexual experience, the MC somewhat becomes manipulative if he pushes towards being sexual with her. Because he at his age should know better, it's almost like low-key manipulation and abuse of her naivety, which is generally something that I wanted to avoid (not playing games where the MC uses drugs or mind control or any stuff).

Idk, I just can't play it with this level of immersion and cuteness. I've only played other games yet where family was related, where I played like a teenager boy being completely innocent. But from the MC perspective of being a caretaker (with a father-feeling) I just can't

But somehow I'm glad I can't. That's a line I personally don't want to cross.

Anyways, beautiful girls, interesting story (not so standard). Animations are a bit weak but that's not much of an issue. Like I said, I wish I could just play this as a normal game instead or without the daughters being sexually involved.

I have come late to this game, but love it. We don't need analysis of aspects or dissemination of whats good or bad. It "feels" good and sparks emotions at a basic level. I've cried, I've laughed, I've got turned on - it's like real life and all its intricacies. If awards were given out on this site or elsewhere, I would vote for this game at the highest level. But don't take my word (or anyone else's for that matter) for it. Try it yourself
