VN - Ren'Py - Light of My Life [Ch.9 v0.9.1] [Naughty Road]

If people would rate the game as it is instead of what the game could be, "potentially", the rating system would be more reliable. The writing is not bad and the pace is good, but man, the character dialogue is just boring. Ever been on a date and the "small talk" drags on without any substance? Yeah. So much could be removed without losing any of the plot or what little there is to emotionally draw the player in. The characters are butt-ugly, almost intentionally. Yeah, I tried this one due to the high ratings and was sorely disappointed.

Dropped after ch 3
Cons:
lots of reused assets
Pretty straight fwd rerlation dev
word ios pretty uni dimensional
Incest is taken bit seriously , which feels a bit uncomfortable

Pros:
Charater and relation dev with main lis is written expertly
even relatioon witgh side character is written competently , wqith enough leeway to explore kinjks in vanilla spectrum
character design is top notch and not run of the mill]
presentation is unique.

Still for me cons outweigh pros ; I dropped it after ch 3

Brilliant. A bit too much on the text chunk really, I prefer less text. But well, in this case it's definitely worth your time. No surprise it has some of incest, but not only that, also the adventures at work are incredible. The characters are spicy and tasty. Fully recommendable

I'm writing this review after completing the available content twice in four days. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a game this much, and even less so in this genre. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for this story, which has often moved me in more than one way. Thank you for your characters, both for their design and their personalities and how they develop, for the humor in some moments, for the overall experience, and for your wonderful work.
I've enjoyed every moment, and the love with which it was developed is evident.
As soon as I can contribute my bit to support it, I will gladly do so.
I look forward to continuing and sharing this household journey.
Congratulations, good luck, and above all, thank you so much once again.

Surpassingly good game. I have to be honest, I did not like the aesthetic of the game at the start, but the game won me over. The story and dialogs are very well written. The game gets you to really care about the characters in it.

It is definitely unique. I recommend it if you're interested on doing some reading.

Easily on the top 20% of the game. High 5/5.

This was a 10/10 game up until about the payoff, the first real scene with the main two. Up until then it was a slow burn, getting to know them, figuring things out with a lot of more creative ideas. And yeh, the novelty of different looking characters.

The problem is, once we got past that, well, it's literally the same stuff and trying to present it with slight differences so it's not just recycled. In its current state its very repetitive, doesn't feel like there's a point and the novelty of how the characters look has worn off. There's a great scene here and there, don't get me wrong, it's just a general air of boredom for me when I watch the same ideas and same dialogue.

I feel like the dev had an amazing setup and amazing idea and just didn't know how to wrap it up with progress and an ending. Clearly he has tons of passion and is great at this, I hope he does more games and he avoids the trap he put himself into, but to me this is the "Song of Ice and Fire" of VNs - written into a corner, the only way its being resolved is by leading nowhere for a while, thus being screwed over by its own excellence at the start in contrast to its ending.

What a fantastic story this is!
The writing really got me going caring about all of the characters, even ones I didn't expect to like at first meeting.
This game in particular really goes out of its way to cement this game drastically in real life with real societal and personal hangups. The characters all deal with these pressures in different ways but they are all believable and fulfilling ways.

The best thing I can say about this games writing is that it really got me absorbed and made me truly make decisions based on what I thought would give the characters the best experience/lives. Rather than what would give myself, as the player, the best experience. Which, let's be honest, we always do in visual novels like this.

Honestly one of the best games on this site. Great story, great content. Maybe a little slow schedule but thats not bad. has a good variety of content as well which is always nice. Not that bland 3d art either, which is something I feel like I see too much.

I really really don't get this one. Don't get me wrong its clear there is passion here which I appreciate and I don't even mind it being such a slow burn. Still its just not a very great experience.

The biggest issue I have here is that the actual story and game are probably one of the most boring story's I've seen in a long time on this site. Its just a dad losing his wife and eventually ending up with his daughters but it just feels so so wrong, the older daughter is fine, but the younger one is written like she's a 15 year old but apparently she's 18. Beyond just the story itself though the pacing is atrocious, again I don't mind a slow burn but the way its done here is just constant dialogue like "wow I'm sad" "Hey dad I'm anxious" "Fuck you dad" etc etc etc, the first 4 chapters are basically just entirely this and it just circles around and around in on itself without any real feeling of growth. Even the bar scene barely moves the plot much. In a more competently written game you'd have chapter climaxes, real buildup, etc. but here it just all feels so boring and slow. I just don't really see how people can claim the work is competently written when the pacing, structure, and story are all extremely monotonous, repetitive and shallow.

Beyond story, pacing, and structure, the characters are pretty surface level too. The older daughter I think is ok but she doesn't get a ton of screen time compared to the younger one. The younger one of course is baffling to me, she acts 15 despite being in her last year of high school. Any scene with her and something sexual just feels EXTREMELY predatory. Don't get me wrong this is a game I'm not making a moral judgement here, go for it if you want, but choosing to enable her sexual path in this game just feels like a dad actively taking advantage of his daughter rather than a mutual sexual relationship being formed. It just comes off really gross because of how the game tries to push you to be a "good dad" the rest of the time. I think if the game has a competent story this might not be such an issue but as it stands it just feels like you play the gremlin in the dad's head being like "yeah bro fuck your kid, cmon it'll be fun" but picking that option never feels right.

Some minor gripes now, the visuals aren't great, I don't like the whole having multiple canned renders that change based on the dialogue, I much prefer scene to scene renders. Still this is really minor, and some of the models can be a bit odd looking graphically.

The good here is interesting. I first admire the passion, clearly there's an attempt here which I always appreciate. I'd rather have 1 of these kinda games than 1000 cookie cutter AVNs. I also like the look of women here, the fact they actually look more organic and real is really attractive and even though some like brooke have somewhat crazy features with her gigantic ass its still very endearing seeing characters that don't all look like models or Egirls. The humor here is also quite good, Brookes whole side thing with the copier and the coven is very very cute and well done. Honestly experiencing that bit just made me want to see this dev do a game with a different premise because it was really cute and fun.

In the end I'll say that this certainly tried but the writing here is just pretty bad. Yeah technically the writing is passable but it does a terrible job holding interest, creating stakes, building tension or really anything that a story like this should do. Hopefully the dev's next work is better now that they've gotten more practice but this one just really misses the mark.

A Dev who knows that its worth risking some of the girls being considered unattractive (only by some) in the effort of creating a more diverse and realistic feeling world.

Characters are eminently likeable, unlike most games on here. Animations are simple but still enjoyable.

Not a quick game if thats what your looking for. This is definitely a slow burn.

Simply put, in terms of visuals, originality, and character development (all top-notch), this game sets an incredibly high bar - one that seems nearly impossible to surpass. Surprisingly, for the first time in a game, I found myself struggling to progress not out of boredom, as is often the case with other games, but because I dreaded reaching the end too soon.

Among all adult visual novels, this one undoubtedly deserves a category of its own. I’m honestly jealous of those who have yet to begin exploring it.

One of the best games I've ever played, with an excellent and dynamic story, excellent rendering, and great characters. I love how dynamic it is. While your girls talk to each other or with you, they move, not just a static rendering. Don't think twice, play it now. 5/5

I really don’t see the fuzz about this game. Immanuel, I really like the banana boobs and why not have Indian faces every once in a while . But

• The story is boring. Same routine Every day, same things happening every day, super slow progress
• Graphics sub-sub-standard - portrait view pictures of the girls flowing in, in dialogue the girls look straight at the „camera“. Renders er-used dozens of times
• Unreasonable story od dad marrying his daughters (and this means unreasonable among AVN‘s, well aware that they all not likely to happen )
• Ugly faces
• Silly cutting off MC‘s Head, Even in 3rd Person view
• MC not in the lead, but daughters decide

And what really made me angry: 1.000 „decisions“ to make, that do not change the outcome . Every third sentence you need to decide about saying a or b and then a daughter decides to go with a anyway.

This is truly one of the greatest games on this site, the writing alone is fantastic, hell of a story! I've only one question, you've created one of the most bangable asses I've ever seen, but when will we be able to tap it?!

Light of my life

I really wanted to complete it but sadly didn't had the patience. For many girls faces are turn off. But I didn't mind it oldest daughter was hot. Younger daughter ain't though. I played around 4 chapters of this most of the content so far is with youngest daughter. It's slowburn it's not a negative point for me. Actually I love slow burn games. But seeing same renders and same postures continuously for 4 episodes that was a big turn off for me. Would have been nice if dev used different postures and scenes. Also so far story is okay. But sadly this game is not for me

This is the best erotic game I've ever played... it has everything. I love the characters, how the story and their relationship is built. the taboo and everything. I wish the progress would be faster on the chapter development, but I understand it takes long to create such a great story and great graphics and images.

It got me hooked pretty hard at the start. The story starts very well and I had my hopes really high. But I tried so hard to escape Denise path, and wanted to end up with Macy, but it's not possible. Wish there was a way, but game has developed too far to change that unfortunately

Absolutely phenomenal
Aesthetic and cohesive story, feeling engaged through out the entire experience. Master class level use of Ren'Pyl. Defiantly worth 5 stars.
Looking forward to seeing were the story ends.

I think expectations were the killer here. Seeing the reviews for this game, I was expecting a masterpiece of a visual novel that I would have a hard time putting the game down, that was not the case.

Pros:

Solid writing, good backstory, and overall lots of effort and polish on the game.

Brooke.

Cons:

The game warns you that it doesn't condone incestual relationships but forces them upon you at every turn. This is for Patreon reasons, I'm sure, but I thought I could be a normal father figure to these girls and instead it's mired in weird sexual things.

Denise is extremely annoying, I get the VN is trying to use her to rationalize everything, but her model, the way she acts. just are a turn-off, let alone her actually being a daughter-like figure that you've raised since she was a kid.

My least favorite genre of games on this site is incestual, but to specify it even more, I hate when I am thrust into a father figure role and the game punishes me for being a good dad instead of being a complete degenerate.

The models are unique but as Denise calls herself, everyone is frumpy besides Brooke and Macy, it does give a sense of realism but then the cartoony faces throw it off again. This game was not made for me and I understand it, but I still wanted my opinion shared for players like me that feel the same way.

Conclusion:

The game is well made, no one can deny that, the dialogue is good, and it nails the premise of the game well, I just wish I could be a good dad hooking up with the other girls in this game as a main plot instead of a side plot.

(please I'm begging you stop trying to get me to fuck Denise)
