VN - Ren'Py - Intertwined [v0.12.3] [Nyx]

great game design , great 3d character design and wonderful story with good character development. love stories like this with a dedicated developer and active community. I Look forward to this games updates and other developments from this developer.

Very promising game, interesting story, characters & the protagonist actually has some depth to him, with the makings of a great love story to boot that's bound to become more complicated with the characters become more fleshed out with each update. Hope this game doesn't get abandoned like so many others have as its genuinely got intriguing characters

This is great. The characters are beautiful and likeable, there is chemistry, great build up and it's pretty believable. There are some slips of engrish towards the end and not all animations look great but that Michelle Jenneke animation makes up for that and then some. More than any other game I've played I actually felt like an asshole for going for multiple girls in the same playthrough, the writing made me like the girls that much.

Art could be considered great if this game had a couple of years, but it's from 2020, so it's really subpar. Animations are quite static and are certainly below average, story is OK-ish and the gameplay is quite quite dull. Sure, you've got choices to make but since the story isn't that great, the gameplay ends up not being that captivating. It's unbelievable to me how this game can have such high grade while much better games have lower grades than it.

Overall, if the game was from 2018, it would be quite good. But since then, we got much better stuff that pushed the genre forward and increased the standard for art, story and gameplay. Today, this game falls below that standard.

So.. I just was able to play the whole game at this state (0.7) and yea..

First of all, I need harem. I cant hurt any girl in such games but I could also love all. .-. xd


The story is really good, after some clicks and readings there is like a puzzle and u get everytime a new piece, what you also gave some glues who is with who related or similiar. I prefer also visuals where can catch me by reading them in the most parts. But also its a kinda classic way for such games. Isnt the first with such a story build, but also wont be the last. At least its one who can catch the player/reader I think.

Nearly the same apply to the graphic of the game, its not really a new or innovative style of design but its really good done so far, I prefer also here more the details then the whole pack of pictures. But in all its fitting and thats so far I think important.

In all I can rate this 4 out 5 stars, its really good so far, but nothing really new/innovative

I hope for the developer my best and that they keep hold their work up

(I hope also my english is readable so far, its not my native and to my bad I didnt learned it to well too ^^ )

After playing v0.7 of this game, here are my thoughts.

I like:
-good renders and animations
-good story
-comedy, some of the scenes really made me laugh
-hot women
-lots of hot sex scenes
-no unavoidable sexual encounters
-the player's choices matter
-the player have the option whether to pursue or end a relationship with the female characters
-no NTR, I wouldn't mind it as long as the MC is the one stealing the woman (netori), otherwise, it's a huge boner killer for me
-Emily is so hot
-there are twists in the story which is so uncommon with most of the games here
-scenes are realistic aside for the one when Cara sits on the bike's handlebar when the MC takes her to school and home

I didn't like:
-the drama or rather the source of the drama which is the MC's over reaction on the situations especially with Emily, Erynn and Alexis. It is the most commonly used way to start a drama in stories, the "there's nothing to talk to, what is there to explain, I've heard enough. If only the MC didn't over react and just talked with these people instead of speculating, all those drama and problems could've been avoided. It's irritating to see those kind of scenes in stories,
-there is no way to torture and slowly kill Ethan. I really hate that piece of shit
-there is no romantic option for Emily. It sucks that the devs made her so hot but the player cannot pursue a romantic relationship with her
-no sex scenes with Erynn, aside from the one which did not progress further, I hope there will be more of her and the MC in the coming updates

I'll give this game 4 stars but since it is still ongoing so things can change and making something of this quality is not easy, I'll give it 5 stars for now and see what happens later on.

One of the best game i've ever played, great story.
I love the charachters, i love the way they act and i love that there is a lot of content. I want to play more and this is the best i can say.
This is not the game where mc has superpower, is not the strongest and he is simply a guy.

Really like this game.

the good :
a lot of girls
a good story , and well developped characters.
A lot of options and really nicely setup.

The less good :
Renders could use a few more frames & some audio added during the game would make it more enjoyable

excellent game. the emotion is complete with this game. you'll get funny scene, sad, emotional, etc. graphic are really nice, the girls are awesome with their own ways. would be really hard to choose one . The updates are quite frequent with a decent amount of content. Maybe adding music/ voices is the only way to make this game better. Good luck for the developer. I think this game have potential to be one of the best here..

Really loving the story so far. I dont mind the incest because it's not literal incest, it's actually quite enjoyable incest. I don't mind the animations. The music is non existent but im using my personal music playlist so it's still the same for me.

I've played through this VN twice (0.5 & 0.7) from beginning to end, the only other VN I went this extra mile for was Being A Dik so that says a lot. If you are looking for a good read with plenty of beautifully rendered characters that have personality then you have come to the right place. The drama is good and I love the fact that the MC is rough around the edges which creates plenty of opportunity for growth in the scenes that play out. The way the VN uses the flashbacks is also pretty awesome. The fact that the MC follows my simple rule of foreplay (kissing and fondling because why have a beautiful woman with curves if you are not gonna do the needful) and then sex means everything as well.

Lastly, Layla is best girl and I consider her route also to be the best simply because I love the chemistry between her and the MC. . Nikki is a close second but honestly all the girls are pretty awesome. The new girl Valeria is arguably the cutest chick of the VN though.

I don't normally review, but damn this game deserves the five stars. The characters feel more realistic than most, and the writing is top notch. Normally plots for these visual novels can be pretty flimsy, but this one managed a good balance of humour and heart while keeping it very grounded. Of course, the women are also gorgeous and the animation stands alongside Being a Dik and City of Broken Dreamers as some of the best in the genre.

Waited 1 year to find out that the main Li of the game was in a serious relationship with a other man
While her love of life was away
And now there there a sex tap of her to with the other guy
This game is not for everyone

Overhyped mediocre "meet-as-many-girls-as-you-can" VN
which beauty-renders obviously are there to distract from its dullness

Well, due to all these overwhelming reviews with 5 (and even more!) stars I was tempted to give "Intertwined" a shot as well.
But to make it short: the whole thing did not convince me!

Okay, ... on the (+) side...

• the renders and some animation are done quite well,
• the girls are beautiful (of course that's subjective)
• the writing isn't bad, neither is grammar nor the dialogues
• there are a bunch of choices (but most of them without too much impact as they are mainly giving you more scenes)
• 5+ GB of content (well, the renders are HQ jpg)
• no real complaints about bugs so far

??? So why is "Intertwined" only average for me???

Many reviews here point out that this one has...
For an approx. 5-star "game" or VN that's much too less... immersive, realistic, story-driven and interesting for me.
I got bored by all the cliches of characters and plot both...
"Intertwined" isn't bad or poor, but it's far from being soo great!

There is a lot to like in this VN but it has a few minor issues.
The game is basically about 'teenage relationship drama', and it is written that way. That was not a criticism btw, it is all believable and otherwise well done (although I feel the story gets a bit convoluted later on) The MC is kinda dumb and drops a few plot holes for his character considering he has excellent grades in school, his emotional intelligence is certainly lacking when it comes to dealing with the women and girls around him!
Sometimes there is drama for drama's sake Which then get explained away and 'solved' through a flashback or lengthy conversation. Like how some bad romance movies could be half as long if characters just talked to each other instead of running away and creating extra misunderstandings. This game is a bit like that. It is not a deal breaker: It adds to the story! If one girl is angry with you, that is how you can get more familiar with another girl or if you are friendly with 1 girl her friend might get to know you better as well. The way conversation choices bounce off off each other really makes the story all 'Intertwined' : :roll credits: :


Seriously though, my biggest gripe with this are the sex scenes. There are animations, but they are choppy at best and underused sometimes. And on 1 occasion a sex scene was entirely made up out of a single, short animation, fade-to-black and on with the story. When there are still renders used, they are used well and plenty which is most of the time.
The differing personalities On the girls and women are working well and the visual models are all overly beautiful. Visually overall the game looks good. Sound and music is used sparingly for the dramatic moments and is done well!
Overall: try it if you want interesting story. I hope the game gets finished and then gets another pass to fix some of the minor issues like fixing plot holes and spicing up lacking sex scenes/renders.

Really beautiful graphics, some of the most adorable women I've seen in adult games are found in Intertwined. Quite a few of the scenes are nicely animated. One downside for me is that the game frequently features a woman/close to identical model from the game Depraved Awakening. I kind of got my fill of that model in DA, so the scenes with her aren't as enjoyable for me as they probably should. But that's a minor complaint, plenty of other beautiful women to keep my interest. Definitely recommend the gallery mod, as choices do matter.

Just started playing this game, wanted to play it for soooo long, what a great masterpiece, amazing story, amazing graphics, and what great turns.

Loved it!

Waiting for the next update soon! Also, my fav is Elena, she seems very sweet and super fun to hang around.

The title of the game is one of its greatest strenghts. All story lines are connected in some way and its always interesting to learn about new connections. The characters are really interesting and likeable but still have flaws. If you enjoy romance and drama you probably will like the game a lot.

I very much appreaciate the length of the updates. Update 0.7 was only two months in development and for me had a quality playtime of two hours.
The biggest compliment that I can give the game is that I enjoy it so much that I am supporting it on patreon with real money

Wow... another extremely rare five star from me. Usually I save these for completed VN's, so this one is even more rare.

Intertwined starts off with a fantastic premise, six degrees of separation. Ask a math nerd or sociologist for the finer details, but the basic point is that even with a large population there are a surprising number of first and second order relationships between complete strangers.

Every character has a complex story that fits like a fractal puzzle piece in this VN. Even the apparently out of reach characters are three dimensional with interrelated needs and motivations. I discovered this two chapters ago and with chapter seven it just keeps getting better.

I start the game with my own personal hi-jinks... I call it my "normal" play-through where I act as myself, ie; don't stick your dick in crazy, hold back until you get to know the lay of the land (er... ladies)... that kind of deal. For a lot of VN's, this is also an amusing way to totally break the story and play-through. This is one of the very rare VN's that actually allows you to be a celibate monk and yet still gives you massive amounts of story that entertains. Honestly, it's a viable strategy for this story, and also probably a good safe and realistic methodology. The hidden social connections do come out pretty quickly and you get the feeling that you may have dodged a number of bullets when you do this.

You also get the opportunity to be nice without immediately jumping into sex. This is actually pretty refreshing. So many VN's automatically leave the choices to either be a complete douchebag, or stick your dick in crazy. This played a surprisingly important factor as far as my rating goes because it is so very rare.

Once I took the plunge and pursued my interests on later play-through's, it just got better. You get so much story with cool interactions, but there is even more when playing hot. It seems as if you cannot get all the stories in a single play either which is excellent.

The visuals are on the high end of the scale, but they do fall short in production value. This is usually the big tipping point for a five star rating. While this one gets that fifth star for superb story, don't imagine the visuals to be lacking. Like most of the better visual novels there is still a lot of love put into the models themselves. The poses, clothing, and ages seem to be crafted pretty well. Sure, the MC seems a bit older than stated, but not to the extreme that some take it. He's fine, and I'll accept "18" for him. What's even better though is that most of the characters, especially the parents, get to be seen at several ages that do look pretty natural.

What should be a failing is that once you realize just how interconnected everyone seems to be, you start to expect it everywhere. That's where the good writing comes into play. Back in chapter five I was imagining some problematic revelations, and by chapter seven I am feeling SO MUCH more certain that some of these may actually happen... and I can't wait to find out for sure.

If you want some good hot vanilla sex at a decent pace, you got it here. If you want a story that really engages you though then this will amaze you.

as of 0.7
this game is so underrated.
the characters are beautiful and have great personalities.
the story is narrated properly in spite of all the time jumps, it flows naturally.
renders are all very well crafted, a lot of effort goes into them by the likes of it.
animations are top tier, not to overly complicated but always effective.
one thing i think needs to be praised:
the humour, i genuinely laughed out loud with various scenes in this game. something i can say only one or two other games.
one thing i think deserves criticism:
so much unnecessary drama. the game is self aware of this, yet there’s so much of it that doesn’t play any part and i believe most players know exactly what’s happening and that the mc is just overreacting and jumping to conclusions. it gets a bit tedious.

10/10 layla best girl
