VN - Ren'Py - Intertwined [v0.13.1] [Nyx]

So far (1st playthrough) a superbly written game with cute and beautiful characters who have different personalities and issues. I love the humour, 4 and sayonara have made me chuckle. I really didn't expect this to be so good and heart warming; mostly a nice feel good vibe (yet to see how Erynn's situation gets resolved). I don't normally play games in school settings as most are simply porn and little story plus bad teenage personal experiences, however, I was persuaded by @FatGiant who also likes another of my favourite games, Chasing Sunsets and I'm glad he did.

For me it's not a porn game but more than that; the porn is nice and appreciated but the story is more important. I like to stay faithful in real life so played this the same way and only 1 sex scene and now and well into the game (Layla bj in the hot tub). I really hope that the writers allow the player (John) to stay true where that path is chosen. I'd like to be a good friend to Erynn and help her out but not cheat; hopefully that'll be possible.

Edit: Ok played it part way through this time following Alexis (only) path and again wow, so well written, thanks! Plus many more sex scenes.

On scores story is 5/5 as are the graphics. Also I think it has a high replay value as it can be played in many different ways different girl routes or multiple. Many thanks and keep up the great work.

Surely a top tier game. Renders are decent but a little grindy at the start. But now it's ok girls models are usual daz 3D models. But story is interesting all the characters are intertwined in an interesting way. Girls have their own personalities. Not a harem game but each different girl's path is interesting and lovely. Fair amount of gameplay. If you like story driven games give this one a try. It's worth playing. Layla is cute and funny, alexis is lovely, new girl Valerie is also nice. Nikki is also nice. There is little humor too.

Keep up the good work dev. Looking forward to next updates.

One of the best games I have ever played. There are young beautiful students and hot teachers, gorgeous models and fitness body athletes, Chocolates and ardent latinas, cute teens and hot milfs, ordinary relationships and taboo. And also new beautiful characters are constantly appearing. Secrets are revealed, lies emerge, new facts appear from the history of those with whom you are close, which can completely change everything. For heroes 5 stars, for interesting plot 5 stars.

Everything about this game was great to me until the whole drama started, it started feeling like a soap opera or teeny drama show, culminating with Melissa being angry at Andres for shouting at MC's mom when he was cheated on, I dunno maybe that gets resolved by the end of that plot point, but I just couldn't stand it anymore.

I don't like soap operas, not a fan of drama's, not a fan of cheating (sharing is fine when you know what you're getting yourself into) and these factors were starting to creep into the story earlier, but I could have tolerated it back then, but the more the story became about the side characters, the less engaging and tolerable it became for me.

I'm still giving it 2+ stars for the models and the game that I played for like the first couple hours, I'm just warning the people that if you like how the game is going in the first 3 hours or so, don't expect it to last and save your time.

If you're into stuff like that, keep going, but it will take some time to get to that.

Amazing VN. story is long, abit of a slow burner and quite obvious at times. but that doesn't take away the over-arching storyline.... extremely good.

visuals also very very good..... far too many H.O.T ladies in this novel.... can someone make it a VR so i can upload my mind and stay there forever!? hehe

lewd-scenes are well planned and animated. few and far between. but more than enough for the story.

Highly recommended!

An amazing visual novel.
Intertwined. The name really spoke for itself, the more you play the game, the more you trully feel the tittle.
The story is top notch, start off very simple but interesting but slowly took me by surprise by how complicated the relationship between the characters.

v0.8.2

I regret not checking this game sooner. Not all the love interests are presented in the description here. Overall, varied cast, good story (you are *of course* completely irresistible to the ladies, but the writing is not too much) - It's a good game. Not as many scenes as other games, but still a decent-ish amount for the plot. They serve the story well enough.

As noted in other reviews, the animations are a bit choppy and there is no sound.

Would still recommend if you have a few hours to sink into it.

v0.8.2 Bugfix

A VN about a young man who moves back in with his mom in his old hometown and rekindles old relationships and finds some new ones. The writing is very grounded. Even though there are plenty of hot scenes, it still feels like a very slow burn game. Lots of scenes just getting to know the characters and very slice of life. I found it a bit too slow sometimes but not overly so. The renders are very good but the animations are a bit choppy. No sound at all really. Overall worth checking out.

I donot have words to describe this game. My rating says it all. There are some games in this site or in this genre which cannot be described with mere superlatives. I feel this game will easily be in top 5 of that list if not top it....

Though in recent past the updates are a bit late but the plot, renders, models, everything is top notch. The story progress is also a bit sagged in the last couple of updates. But keep it up dev, you rock I know you will revive and come back like never before..... Oh this rating may be a carbon copy of my other rating as I cannot make up my mind which one is better.

Version 1 - 7: one of the best games . Update 8: horrible - two of the main characters eliminated each other at the beginning. the next two hours were endless boredom. Please return to the good path or leave it at all.

A little bit of everything. Nice models, good writing and lovable characters. A guide might be needed as some choices are not obvious. So far, there are few timeline errors which is surprising with that number of romantic options.

Top-quartile, if you like slow burns.

There isn't a central driving narrative so you bump along from one subplot to the next; the dialog is definitely above average. Almost always believable, regularly funny, and I can't remember it ever being cringe-inducingly bad.

The models are very good, the posing is good. They took the time to give a girl wet hair after she got dunked in a pool; how often do you see that?

The love interests range from "do you in the first half hour" to "still arguably in the friend zone after 8 episodes". The setting is high school so I feel like that works, but if you're all about the l00dz this one might try your patience.

All the characters look like fitness models; basically no body variety outside of boob and butt sizes. I wanted to mention that under things-to-improve because I love to see some rounder girls.

Even if you aren't a cheat/guide person, maybe consider a cheat/guide for this one. On at least one path (Layla) I find the gating is extremely tight.

There is a ton of content and choices and the models are reall hot.

What the game really lacks is interesting scenes.

There is no interesting kinks it's all pretty vanilla.

No bdsm, no anal, no ntr, no cheating, no humiliation, no trans.

If you want really vanilla sex with a lot of different characters it works. But if you want more interesting kinks and scenes it gets kind of tame.

Reviewing [v0.8.1 Bugfix]This is an awesome game! The backstory and how all the characters lives...intertwine is just amazing. The animations and dialogue are great the fact your choices impact future events is super cool, and overall the character designs are top notch as well! Highly recommend I didn't even notice how much time passed due to how well the game is written and how entranced in the game I was I greatly enjoyed this and can't wait for the future updates! Well done dev! 5/5 highly recommend!

I don't easily give out five stars, but there's really no other option here. Intertwined is nearly perfect. The models are gorgeous, the characters are very believable and the story is fascinating slice-of-life that is light-hearted and serious in just the right amounts to still work as an erotic game. And it is very sexy too.

Intertwined manages to be erotic even without drowning you in sex scenes. I'm sure that is a negative thing to some, maybe even many, who are looking for a quick fix to rub one off but that's more about managing expectations. I personally enjoy the pacing a lot, especially when it is made with such finesse. The trick here is that even without having sex scenes, the scenes are beautiful and sexy - it is something many other slower pacing games fail at. The characters are good looking and their outfits, their poses and the camera angles are very well thought out to deliver sexy scenes even without nudity. Also the dialogue is witty and humorous, and there is some real drama too to deliver a satisfying reading experience.

There's still plenty of nudity and sex too! What I'm trying to say is that there's just a lot more to Intertwined than just sex.

A very nice experience. Thank you.

Nice story, beautiful LIs, semi-realistic plot.
I just don't like that the step father suddenly became an asshole when he was caring towards the MC initially and being happy that the baby MC was calling him "dad".

Well, this was a pleasant surprise!

I'll be honest, the description on this page did not give me much hope for this game. The renders are gorgeous, obviously, but the description was about as generic as possible and I’ve come to be skeptical of any game which has little text description and has no dialogue in the screenshots.

That said, holy shit was this good! I’m honestly a little annoyed I haven’t found it sooner.

The characters are well written and rather believable, with minimal “porn logic” to suspend disbelief over. Honestly the only thing that I had trouble believing was that these people just happen to run into each other so frequently in what is supposedly a big city, but even that is quickly forgotten once the story gets going.

This is an example of my favorite type of erotic story, one that is not afraid to space its steamy scenes out quite a bit in order to spend time getting to know its characters and letting them build real relationships, an approach that only makes those scenes all the better. Few games are willing to do this, and even fewer can pull it off. Intertwined shoots out of the gate with a few scenes to get the engine running and then is content to let the player build their way to satisfaction.

This leaves me with my main gripe about this game: it’s turned me into an indecisive compulsive saver. Another game story element that I love that is rarely pulled off is allowing the player to play the game like any other for a while before pulling the rug out from under them and reminding them how much of a psychopath they’ve been. A great example of this is Lessons in Love and now Intertwined can be added to the list. By doing the usual erotic game harem approach and being nice and flirty to everyone you meet this game will eventually develop into the best slash/worst scenario: Having to choose between characters you like, genuinely not knowing which to choose, but knowing that no matter what you do you’re going to hurt someone.

That’s rough, really rough, and it’s a sign of a great story that I actually cared enough to have to sit back and weight my thoughts and options before making choices. Not just asking “What option will get me laid” since it’s pretty hard to avoid fun times, but actually having to think about what each other character will think of your actions and acting accordingly.

I’d highly recommend playing Intertwined, though I’d also recommend grabbing the gallery mod. It’s pretty clear that this is a branching narrative kind of deal, and when I checked the gallery after finishing the update there were quite a few scenes that I had missed because I’d chosen a path that led to other scenes, a decision I hadn’t even realized I’d made. Play through as you want to, then enjoy the other routes in the gallery.

TLDR: Intertwined made me nervous to help someone carry their groceries to their car and I love it for that.

Easily my favourite game. Story is intresitng, girls are hot.
There is more realism to how women behave here than usual, probably because dev is also a woman.

Some not so good sides of this game are lack of sound and long breaks between releases but these are not a problem for me so 5 star stays.

Writing is one of the best
Girls are cool.
There are some unrealistic thinks and holes in the plot but is still really enjoyable and fun game .
Renders are solid,animations meh but story is really good.

Renders are good but animations are bad very bad, but that is not real reason I am giving it 2/5 rating.. Real problem is story or more pricelessly how vilified are Men presented. For some reason dev decided to present every male except MC evil or imbecile. And all women's victims. One of the best example are MC Father (Step-Father) and Mother. Andre who has raised MC as his own son is show like a evil man. His crime? didn't sucked up to his cheating wife. MC when he learns that Father is not real one, instead of showing appreciation turns on him. Instead of continuing calling him father he suddenly starts calling him "Andre".. that even after he was living with him for 5 years alone..

Relationships don't work like that.. especially Father & Son one.. I can write lot about how Mother fucked up her whole marriage. But I will say it shortly: You Don't Fucking meet with former fuck body and then act like nothing happened
