VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.14.1] [Nyx]

[Nurikabe]

I have some questions for the people who are up to date with this game. I want to preface this by saying that I'm not trying to hate on this game but I'm getting the feeling that it might not be for me so I'm looking for some mild help without any concrete spoilers to see if I should even continue playing this.

I'm right at the part where Erynn tells the MC the truth about what happened 5 years ago and literally everyone is keeping some messed up secrets from the MC and they're fucking each other over even worse. I like most of the LI's when it comes to personality but the way their stories seem to be heading just gives me real bad vibes with the exception of the stepsisters and maybe Layla.

If I was the guy in this novel I would honestly be packing my shit and go away as far as I can from all these people as possible. I usually don't mind playing darker games and while this vn isn't even that dark it has just left me feeling kind of icky.
Does the whole drama aspect taper down as the game progresses or does this only continue/get worse as it goes on ?

Well, I wouldn't say it is dark. But if you consider this dark and it bothers you up to that point, maybe this isn't for you.

This is nothing against you or your question. I just never understand why people ask that question. Nobody can really answer that for you. And if you played every route in the game, you might have invested a total of two hours of your life. If you are terminally ill and seconds matter, then I would say go spend it doing something you enjoy. Otherwise, why not play and see what you think?

As much as I do advocate for mini harems...

This is all I truly need.

I mean at this point it seems like Eryn is in some kind of unwanted prostitution/escort situation which isn't that dark as far as avn's go but I wouldn't call it light either.
The reason I'm asking is because game has genuinely left me in a bad mood. At the end of the day I'm playing these things for entertainment not to feel bad about it. I do however like the Li's themselves so I wanted to see if there's more to this before I drop it.
I'm also not asking if I should play or not. I'm asking if the story continues to be as dramatic as it is now so I can make the decision if I should continue playing because if it is I know for a fact I won't be.
Really not that hard to figure out if you read my comment properly.

Forgot to say before but I also really like Erynn

Damn this game is making it hard to choose

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks29]

This game is kind unique.
All over the place, kinda make sense the name intertwined. The trick is Making this story connect the dots in the end.

Drama is shotgun going in the front bro.

Is like playing gossip girl og with a golden dick protagonist and having teenage drama.
I give a nod for having LIs having more soul than your normal game.

Yeah that's kind of what I was suspecting. I get why people are into it because I do actually like the LI's as I already said but I guess this just wasn't the one for me if the drama keeps being as prevalent as it is now.
Thanks for the help.

At what point did I say or advocate cheating in my statement? I did not. It's clear we have interest in other gals while on routes with Alexis/Layla. Also, we are laughably "conflicted" about our feelings with such. The issue at hand is that Nyx in her writing hints and teases the idea or possibility of maybe possibly having more than one gal with Alexis/Layla, simply by the dialogue and scenes as presented already. The idea and concept is there.

Yet, and I stand by this, if for all that was hinted and teased at for that NOT to happen, then 1. Why bother having in there in the first place if you not gonna deliver? 2. Trolling fans for wanting/hoping for something doesn't do great for possible returning patrons/new patrons who are looking for that type of content. Yes, this is Nyx is game and she can do whatever she wants with it. Same time, if she's teasing possible pairings or the idea of say Layla/Elena - Layla/Val - Alexis/Lexi - Alexis/Erynn, etc. and DOESN'T deliver on it, well thats possibly losing fans/patrons/money all because she wanted to troll or failed to deliver what the fans want or are hoping for. If that is the case and it does happen, Nyx can reap what she sows and risk patronages down the road.

I don't think anyone has said you advocate for cheating. What I said was that Nyx has specifically made it clear that choosing a path where you are dating more than one girl (cheating) will not end well. Perhaps, you see a connection where you can get both Alexis and Erynn in a playthrough. I don't see that. I see where Erynn is pissed off that Alexis lied. I see a solid relationship between Alexis and the MC. I believe there will be a solid relationship path between the MC and Erynn. But not one where Erynn and Alexis are happily sharing the MC.

I am glad you stand by that. I stand by this: support for this VN has continually gained members. Despite all the drama, the 'teasing', the what did you call it, trolling, her support has increased. What the patrons want is for Nyx to tell her story.

Explain something to me if you would. If the game makes you miserable, why do you continue to read it? Why do you continue to post negative posts? Why not just ditch it? You are talking about how these fans will just leave Nyx for, apparently asinine behavior, why not do exactly that? Or is your goal to try to convince others that they should be just as miserable about the story as you are? What is your goal?

Erynn is my favorite she has some kind of charm or spell over me I cant explain especially when she is playful tho Alexis is almost as good in my books

 

[SerHawkes]

Waifu talk?

1. Melissa aka Milfy Quinn. Wants to bang. Maybe marry into the family there. Eyrnn would be PISSED. But then again, sacrifices had to be made.
2. Val. Flirty, sharer of pics, likely swallows on first date. So want to cuck Zach properly for him being a dumbass.
3. Nikki. Muscle mommers in making. Would love for a true casual relationship with her though.
4. Layla. Wholesome gal with nice tits and decent ass.
5. Alexis. Will get us kill by her father. Mistakes were made. Will also be ready for pegging content and route. Bring lube.

Honestly if you don't like the drama so far it is only going to get worse before it gets better so might be time to find something else to play if it is leaving you in a bad mood. Once it is finished and we know the outcomes by all means come back and have another look as it may be possible to end up with some sort of happy ending depending on which of the various routes you are on but i wouldn't bank on it, especially if you are playing around with more than 1 girl but in the meantime play some of the other thousands of games that don't leave you miserable.

In a way make sense, without drama the story get stale and the dev must end/finish or harem/cheat relationships.

I love this

Is clearly going to be focused drama swapping girlfriends and losing friends.

Even in Elena / Layla is visible the jealousy and discomfort portrayed.

I could see LI having a sharing, cheating tolerance.
Iris / Val / Tori and even Lexi could accept sharing in some fuckup scenario.

Layla could allow Elena with her and maybe having a throupe.
Maybee...

this is pretty much where im at especially when its factored in i have to restart from loosing all my saves i was a patreon for a while for this one but at this point i prefer to see where it ends before investing anything further

Darryl is a world-class asshole for sure.

To be honest I disagree. I think he's just competitive in sports and jealous about MC who've every time Darryl sees him another hot chick around him. There's this feeling he's a good guy and friendly to Valerie but turns into a wannabe alpha clown once MC appears. We just can't see his good sides because it's off screen. We only see him in the gym talking to Val without MC in the near, where he invited Val to the beach with him and the others, and that was a normal conversation between buddies.

I agree in some parts, maybe he is a good guy and friendly at all, but towards MC he isn't, and I think that even you are competitive, you don't need to be a dick, that's why I don't like him, and let's not forget that he threw a ball to hit Lexi.

I hear ya. But consider this: I use to work with a guy who was the biggest prick at work. Everyone would tell me, "he is only an asshole at work. You should get to know him." The thing is, if he is an asshole at work and that is all I ever see of him, the guy is an asshole. Darryl is an asshole. On the track, around women, to other women, and certainly to the MC. So maybe he has a good side, but he is still an asshole. And any dude that jumps on the back of a woman is not and talks to her the way Darryl did, especially after how she has chastised his behavior previously; even more poignant that she is in a bikini and feeling safe on the beach with friends. Even Tori gives him a hard time for the shit he pulls.

I get Darryl hate,he is a solid antagonist.

He does his job is cool. But the snake that Zach is fuck him, fuck his car. Fuck his m'lady moments.
his betrayal is fucking canon ! Correct me if im wrong.

Yeah i noticed that, seems like they(Layla, Val) should've seen MC with Erynn, but nothing came of it... so far.

Can someone explain to me the appeal of Erynn ?

I can try...
First i'd say it requires for you to waddle through the mountain of BS her route throws at you innitially and not give up or start skipping/fast forwarding.

You'll eventually see that there's a sweet girl undeaneath that BS, a girl that has been through some trauma and is suffering... So appeal number 1, guys who like to play white knight i'd say, she's absolutely the single character that needs help the most.
Some will like that, some will see as red flags and avoid like the plague, personal tastes...

As a bonus because of past history those 2 have with each other, she just puts so much stock into this relationship, she simply loves to be around the guy and take care of him... drive him to school, cook for him, watch him play games, simply hang out in his room for no apparent reason or defined objective... all these simple things just make her so happy, as i said she's a sweet girl behind the initial messed up impression.

I would add something that simply resonates with me(and might mean something to others out there), i love "righting wrongs from the past", "recconecting with the one who got away" type stories and these 2 have this type of story, they have history, they have feelings for each other... because of some BS they split up before it could ever happen, now you get the chance to fix that mistake.

Last but not least... she's a slender blonde, i don't pass on those
