VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.13.2] [Nyx]

[Guyin Cognito]

I played a game a LONG time ago (pre-covid, at least) that was called Intertwined, but it was basically just a "stay-at-home and build relationships with your mom and sister" kind of game. My memory is that just about the point where you get the sister to accept that what's happening is an actual relationship, the game "ends" with a promise of a sequel coming. I figured I'd wait a while ... then I forgot about it. Oops?

I thought for a while that there were more than one game with that same title, but now this is the only one I see. Is this in any way related to that old game?

prolly didn't get game from F95 but like said no any relations between this and that.

I like Layla just fine, wish we had more content with her. But I kinda wish that for all the LIs

Perv ! But you're not alone, I somehow came around to like all characters , even Tory to some extent.

you instantly zeroed in on the one I don't like

Since there was some talking about it;
I'm a Valeria fan, and i would compare her situation with Daryl from the tv series The Walking Dead, he's a tv series original character that didn't exist on the comics and made quite of a success, i think that maybe, at first, the writers had not much on mind for him and who knows, maybe they would kill him after a few seasons, or on the first season...but since he made such success with the fanbase nowadays he has a tv series centered on his character. With Valeria could be kind of the same thing, maybe at first Nyx had a pre determined fate for her, maybe she would use her for a specific purpose and get rid of her just after, but since the player base liked her so much (not saying that everyone likes her or that shes the most liked one) and she got a good development, maybe Nyx is at least re-thinking it and may use other character for this purpose if it exists...it's her game, we will know whats gonna happen with Val in due time, but in my personal opinion would be a waste to waste her character since its hard to create one that people actually likes and makes a connection with...many games fail due the players not creating a link with the characters.
From my part, even with Val not having the official L.I status i like to think that there's nothing set on stone yet.

I would add more; she’s the best-developed character in the entire game. Let’s be realistic all the girls seem to fall for the protagonist as soon as they see him. To me, that’s not realistic. There should be a process of getting to know them and gradually making them fall in love. That’s why the only one with a genuine playful romance is Valeria. She has that mischievous charm, playing with the protagonist in a way that makes you feel something for her she’s constantly toying with us.

Wrong. Play the game again and pay attention.

Most games id agree. Even initially I would agree with you on this game.

Maybe it just me but once I got to learn the story as to why Alexis and Erynn like the MC I can't. I can really only agree with this with Nikki and Cara those character do seem to fall for the MC rather quickly. Even Layla to a small extent too I can agree with this on because she did develop a crush within the first minute but after that not really. As her path feels pretty natural to me. But other than Nikki and Cara I honestly felt with the story telling of the characters all of them come across pretty natural to me as to why they like the MC

Well, if this were a 1on 1 Love simulator, I'd agree with you, what does not mean that you have somehow a bit of a point.
This is not only in this AVN, also in many others, although in this one it is quite good implemented for an AVN.
The girls are interested in MC "he is cute" or "he is funny" etc etc. and for the sake of not expanding, the getting to know phase (like in some others with slow burn) it is shown a bit accelerated with all its flaws and virtues.
So is it realistic ? No, but how much would a realistic aproach strech the Development times, and the time between the updates ? specially if there are a lot of Girls ? please take that into account.

For me, it’s not realistic to have sex with Alexis from the very beginning. For example, with Erynn, it makes sense because they’ve known each other since childhood. With Erynn, it feels like you’re rebuilding a friendship first and then transitioning into a relationship. But then we have many characters who feel attracted way too quickly. You yourself mentioned examples like Cara and Nikki; I would personally add Alexis and Layla to that list as well.
That doesn’t mean I think it’s a bad game it’s a great game. I just feel that Valeria’s character is the best for the reasons I mentioned earlier.

I take that into account, and that’s why I mention that it’s a great game. I’m simply defending my position on how well-developed Valeria’s character is and why she stands out above the rest.

I disagree about Alexis once you learn the reason as to why. Like how the MC was her first kiss, then when she realized who he was she wanted to take her shot before Erynn could. As she knows he is someone Erynn likes and talks about all the time and probably developed something for him after the kiss and how Erynn talks about him all the time. I do agree it comes off unrealastic until you learn all the details.

Layla is a weird for me , I agree and disagree. At first yeah id agree for sure but her paths develops rather naturally for me beyond her initial crush the first 30 seconds she sees us.

Layla fell in love with my MC when he complimented her legs in the middle of the classroom.

I understand your point about Alexis, but I see it more from a perspective of infatuation. I get that, since they were kids, she might feel something because of that kiss and the flower gesture with Erynn. I also understand why Erynn keeps talking about you throughout the game. But having sex right when you see each other? I would have preferred a different kind of approach without rushing to that from the start.

I get that every similar game has its initial sex scene right at the beginning, but in my opinion, it would have been better if it had been with a character you’d never see again. Alexis deserved more in that moment. After that, I do feel like they get to know each other better and something meaningful develops, but it would have been nice if her introduction had been handled differently.

Nothing to defend, that is a fact, she is one of the better developed characters in this "Adult Virtual (Tele)Novela"
there might be other opinions, and they also have good points, this is one of the better AVNs in characterization.

yeah can't argue with her introduction tho if I recall she was meant to be a side girl / one time fuck or hook up and developed into something more.

I didn’t know she was originally meant to be a secondary character. If that’s the case, I’m glad it didn’t turn out that way. She’s a great character who grows on you more and more as you get to know her.

I hate that we had to be in a relationship with Layla to get on Elena's route

as a one-woman-only kind of man I was in love with Elena since the start but using Layla is so wrong

I just felt horrible like a piece of shit the entire time

in fact I felt so guilty for using her that I was on the verge of Tears

that's why I will not play the game until it focuses on Elena again

I’ll always stand up for Valeria, though it seems like she doesn’t really need it

That's why Erynn and Alexis are the best girls for me!!!
