Review of v0.11.2...
I really enjoyed Intertwined. Yes it's the typical 'boy comes back to hometown after a long time away' trope, but there are enough twists and surprises to keep it interesting.
The character models are all gorgeous and realistic. Each character also has their own distinct personalities. They are emoted well, and come across as believable.
The dialogue between the characters feels organic and is amusing at times.
There are a few issues I had though....
The writing could be better. I don't know if this is a translation or if only specific sections are or something, and while some areas are fine, there are glaring grammar and syntax errors through the writing in others.
The writing also seems to be inconsistent in places. For example, there is a part where a girl who the MC was previously in a relationship with suddenly shows up to MC's house with a suitcase and clearly upset about something. She cries and talks to the MC's mother. There is never any explanation as to why she suddenly showed up or why she was upset. A few in game days later the MC makes a comment about how the girl has to leave the next day. Again, there was never any indication as to how long she would be there or when she was leaving. Her visit starts with the girl suddenly showing up clearly upset about something and needing a place to stay and ends with everybody acting like she was on a planned visit. It's like there are two writers and one didn't know or care what the other was doing or had planned.
The lewd scene animations are decent, but the lewd scenes rely too much on one or two animations meaning the lewd scenes can be over in basically two clicks.
Some LI's (Valeria) show up pretty late in the current build. So unless the game is only half completed I'm not sure how you could reasonably get anywhere with them.
I was hoping there would be at lease some minor harem elements to the game (I like both Alexis and Eryn), but with the way the game is turning out it doesn't appear so.
I know I seem to have a lot of complaints, but these are mainly my own personal nitpicks (except for the part about the writing). But despite those I would recommend this game to anybody who my be interested in it and I hope to see it completed so I can return and visit these characters again.
