VN - Ren'Py - Radiant [v0.6.3] [RK Studios]

Wow, I'm mesmerized by this game it's an absolute gem. The sad backstory with Gracie made me cry cause I've been through some shity years myself.
The renders are great. The woman are sexy hot and cute. The story is on another level. I play the loving pervert route

The game is in the incest category, but why does the story have to be so good?

It's a really good game, both visually and in terms of the scenario.

Really well written and well planned

I was clearly very sad while playing the game, I can say that the story and graphics are already better than many games

I never thought I'd expect something like this

The game looks so good already

Good luck to the developer.

Worth the time. Story and art and animation and everything is quality. Updates cold be shorter but they have several projects on the line. Maybe they shouldn't but that's up to them. I really enjoy the story it has a good emotional kick and the situations you get in are great. Really enjoy finding out what is gonna happen next. Every girl is beautiful.

If developers of this game are reading reviews, pls for the love of all pornographic and lewd, remove the prologue!

After seeing how it played out I almost deleted the game right away, no joke.

It was so cringeworthy that I had a grimace the whole time playing through it.

Worse of all it was absolutely unnecessary.

The rest of the game had already sufficiently established MCs circumstances. There is no need to torture the players with that "fever dream of a teenage mind" of a prologue.

If there is a need to introduce some element from it let it be in dream just like it was with Gracie or as a flashback.

Even if we do not talk about the positives the game would receive in terms of presentation without the prologue, at the very least we as players would have better perspective on a life altering crash and subsequent memory loss.

SO PLS REMOVE THE PROLOGUE!

Otherwise, I have nothing bad to say about the game. In all honesty, I quite like it. Try it for yourself, just remember that the prologue doesn't exist and it was simply your imagination.

This game should be on everyone's favorites list that love the daddy incest genre.
Slow corruption, perfect renders, supercute girls, some extra girls on the side, nice storyline, doesn't get much better than this.

Wow! I'm not sure I can do anything else but give this game the best recommendation and rating possible. The story, visuals, weighted choices, and multiple branches are incredibly enjoyable as well as interesting. I hope this project gets more funding and expedited completion with the same level of quality. Can't wait to see more from this game!

I just love the characters. The triplets are cute and adorable, the story is mesmerising and exciting. I'd like to have more frequents updates but I understand that such a high quality of the renders and animations take time to release. Very good job!

Never in my life has a porn game made me cringe so hard that my face turned into a black hole the size of Louisiana. I will say the reason but since it happens at the beginning of the game I will use a spoiler tag.
I mean let's be real it's a free porn game on the internet, I wasn't expecting some Shakespearian writing, but holy hell. I guess it could get better but the god-awful beginning put me off.
The readers are solid though cant lie, story? not so much.

I really like this game, it would be one of my favorites in this forum if it weren't for the delay in updates, and there are other things that I don't like very much like the unnecessary drama with the policeman and that I think the dev could work better on some routes but other than that this is a very good game with beautiful renders and sexy situations

In short, I like this game.

The renders look nice, which comes at the cost of quite a bit of download size. There are other games with beautiful renders as well, which are not so big to be downloaded, so it might very well be that the images could probably re-encoded tobe smaller, while not loosing visible quality?

Though there are some introduced aspects might be good to be piked up again at some point, like the sleepwalking, to improve the story a bit.
The game is not yet complete as a few choices do not seem to have a real impact yet, but I just looked at 0.4 so there is probably still something coming for 1.0.

Waiting for the remaining chapters ...

The story is coming along nicely! Exhalent content so far and I hope more comes soon. Very Good job on the characters and graphics. Some of the music is not the best choice though. Maybe " leaning on his everlasting arms" isn't too appropriate for a sex game? Or is it just me?

Review for Radiant v0.5.2:

I've played Radiant since the initial release. Like almost everyone else, I was impressed by the artwork, and it's truly outstanding.

Story: 4/5 - I don't play with any mods or patches, and the story and backstory has some awkward holes without an incest patch, but overall, it's entertaining. The initial backstory was very compelling, but after that, much less so. The story is a slow-burn for the triplets and so it introduces other characters to satisfy players' desires for lewd content. The release pace is already extremely slow, so slowing down the story progression is just turning the main storyline into a snoozefest.

Visuals: 5/5 - The most beautiful models I've seen in any adult games. Great animations, too, although they are infrequent.

Writing: 5/5 - The writing is great. It's so unusual to have a game with great visuals and good English.

Content: 1/5 - The content in the game is great, and the game has the right amount of content for the number of updates, but it doesn't have the right amount of content for the amount of development time. We don't know how long the initial release was in development, but the next 4 chapters averaged over 10 months each and the average time between updates has also been increasing. As of 0.4, I said this game is around 20% complete, but it looks the pace with the triplets is increasing with 0.5, so maybe it's closer to 30% (although more new love-interests keep appearing, so that's optimistic). At the current development pace, this game will be complete in 2033, at best. That's not an exaggeration or a joke, it's simple addition... and it assumes that no major catastrophe or life-changing event occurs in the lives of any of the developers before then. A game that trends toward 13+ years of development time has no chance of reaching completion.

Overall, the game is quite good, but I can't, in good conscience, give a high recommendation for something I know will eventually be either abandoned or rushed to a disappointing end.

Can only give this one a 4 out of 5 unfortunately due to the game receiving updates every time the developer comes out of hibernation..

Writing is not excelent but its fun and has some level of chemistry and its not just 2 rocks hubbing against each other.
Many options and possibilities of who to get, fetishes and etc.
And many virgins to deflower.

This is boring, typical VN that has an update every 9 months hopefully, full of slow burn to be able to get every penny out of their patreons and never reach a conclusion, or climax, ever, with the sole purpose of getting the maximum possible money from the same project, We already know of another VN famous for doing this and that coincidentally is on the same theme of incest and the promise that one day something will happen.

the story is boring, it is a wall of text without inspiration, the updates are every 7 or 10 months per chapter, there are no excuses, I have seen more ambitious projects that take 4 months to launch a chapter, this VN is always in the same scenarios, with the same 4 or 5 characters.

P.D: In the end, it's always the same boring thing, with the same people doing this, one day those who donate will realize that they are only taking money from them, "Spoiler alert": You're never going to see the MC having sex with any of his daughters, and the day he does, he's out of business.

I was already a big fan of the game But now I'm putting it in my top { 1 }
I managed to fall in love with the game more after the little daughter of Brooke it's amazing reminds me a lot of the game Lexi This game doesn't even need bitching like I see in many games to be the most downloaded I've surrendered to the game it's simply one of the best games of your gender I don't really care about the sex scenes in these specific types of games I will go the Brooke path to the end of the game to be a great father to her little girl then I will go the other paths with my other three favorite girls this game has that being recommended to everyone is a great novel one of the best stories written that i have ever seen in a game i hope it stays that way now you who are reading my comment and several others don't waste time download and play you will not regret this game yes deserved even more than five stars oh Dev is to be congratulated

Hands down one of the best intros to a porn VN I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.
After that it just turns into your typical run of the mill type of VN with decent renders and girls to drool over.
No problem, time to channel my inner daddy-daughter incest kink and... end of content.
Not a lot there at the moment and normally I only review a game when it's a bit further down the line, but this ones development moves so slow, I've seen glaciers move faster. Will it ever come close to completion? The phrase "when pigs fly" comes to mind.

Beautiful looking girls, and the story line got me in the feels, nice music choices too, fits pretty well, kept me engaged and wanting to see more of what was going to happen next. Color me impressed so far, did not feel disappointed or bored.

Not sure if this is a case of ambition exceeding the developer's reach, or of the developer being talented but not caring about their product.

There are great renders here, and a great opening. The backstory is delivered at a nice pace, with a sense that the writer knows what they're doing, and after the prologue, everything begins loaded with possibility and excitement. A rich premise and game mechanics that promise 3 ways to play through said premise? Great, I'm in.

But then....there aren't really any different ways to play. The most virtuous path and the darkest path have the protagonist doing basically the same things, which just makes the characterization more schizophrenic. I would have loved to have been able to play the MC as either an actually decent person or as a complete sociopath who just wants to dominate people. I was looking for divergent stories based on character choices. Instead, there's constant reassurance that the MC is a good guy, loveable, desireable, even when the game has him acting in completely antisocial ways.

Maybe I misunderstand incest as a fetish. Maybe this is exactly what someone wants, this exact range of behavior, this arbitrary set of reactions from characters that actually get more two-dimensional as the game goes on. But if the appeal of a visual novel over traditional porn is that there is a sense of agency and immersion that comes from depth of character and story, then this game simply fails to deliver. Agency is exactly what the player does not develop here, as the main character just feels more and more out of the player's control.

I would say that I would give the game another chance down the road, after more updates, but since those seem to be so few and far between, I think that this is effectively a closed book. And although the renders are hot and high quality, there are better ways to get off. There's plenty of fetish porn in the sea, as they say.

Likely to be among the most awesome games I ever came over here at f95zone. There is only thing I can find as negative, but the case is, this is over-weighting all the good stuff. So I mean really negative... Fact is this developer has been using (if compared to others out there) UNFAIRLY long time for any updates to come. I wonder how many times I have been checking Radiant to see if there was any new updates. I can't give him 5 stars for this fact - but I would if this was not the case. The lack of updates is very, very, very clear; too slow and here comes my main point: Why would I want to play something this good when it's making us all crazy about all the nice and tasty stuff we can not yet get in this game. Its been more than a half year. Somethings rather off here and it's just sad. Shame. I will however change my review if the developer find new inspiration and change the pattern in the future. Nothing is written in stone, but the Dev MUST take the feedback for what it is. And hopefully do something about it.

Focus of development: poor (seems to be more about pulling in money)
Work ethic: poor (promises and dangling carrots)
Upgrade cycles and development progress: slow - very slow ... and getting slower
Trust in the developer to improve and follow through: low and falling
Story: decent at the start but turns out to be uninspired and dull
Artwork and kink: good
Freedom and choice: limited
