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

[Ariostebaldo]

I'm not sure what to think of Iris at this point, but I have to admit that she is an interesting character in an enlightening chaper and will probably make the VN better. One strong impression that she gave me is that she tends to underreact to situations that others would find uncomfortable or even violating. Such as when MC took a nude picture of her without her consent, or when she found him having sex with her roommate. She didn't respond to catcalls, as if she was completely dissociated from these blatant calls for either positive or negative attention by males. She dropped the revelation that she was bisexual very bluntly as if she didn't know or didn't care that this might come as a shock to MC (not saying this is a positive or negative trait, as being this accepting and truthful about who you are can be healthy and being excessively concerned with what others may think can be damaging). She also seems to be prone to impulsive decisions, such as calling herself on a strange man's phone after he took naked pictures of her to assure that she could text him later. Or the impulsive decision to sun herself topless in a public place anyway. As others have pointed out she doesn't seem to recognize certain social cues or personal boundaries. She seems to struggle to realize when she is being too familiar or making others uncomfortable.

Well, not trying to be insensible, but I see Iris as a pushy, distasteful and creep little bitch, if you try to make up sob story and a dozen excuses as to why she is like this, still makes no difference. She should know to respect boundaries. If she's been acting like this for years someone would've already put her in her place by now, if she keeps acting like this there's no way to say she does it in good faith.

I mean, for a porn game I guess she's okay, she acts just like a basic porn character does.

I had a girlfriend who behaved very much like this once and it turned out that she had been severely abused in childhood.

That sucks. I won't comment on this, I'll just say that don't seen to be Iris case.

As to being bi or gay, I'm not sure you stop being bi. An ex-girlfriend of mine ended up marrying a woman but it was more of a case of finding the right partner for her, not denoting a change in her sexuality. There are exceptions, such as when gay people simply perform heterosexual sex when in denial or in the closet, but Iris doesn't seem that type. However, it is possible that another woman did come between them, resulting in their breakup.

I mostly agree with you, I mean, outside of people who try to live in denial, maybe in extreme cases involving a lot of emotional trauma people sexuality can be affected to the point of changing, but in 99% of the cases not.

...
I will continue to support via Patreon ....

Oh, looks like my statement is no longer true since I've got kicked from Nyx' Patreon site and Discord server, which means either she is still reading here or we got a rat because I'm easy to recognize there.
Of course that's the way criticism should be handled, I'm thrilled. Anyway saves me money.

This is what happens when you reject Erynn's attempts to explain. But when you listen to her, she actually opens up emotionally and she and MC have a great bonding moment. A beautiful scene if you let it happen.

Yes that's exactly what i thaugh when i saw it coming, i was thinking "Ok now she will play the violin and sing me a nice song"
The problem is that it happens because you catch her red handed with Ethan, she did not do it freely in normal circonstances.
I'm an old guy and life has told me one thing, when people start to lie, they never stop, never!!

 

[rainnnnnn]

I see alot of people complainig about this update.
I guess that might be because Nikki/Carra are not that popular. I guess it's always a risk when you give an episode dedicated to one character.
I like Nikki quite alot so I think this episode was great but hopefully the next episode we will give love to more girls.

 

[Kukipett]

Feel like a lot of people pining for Erynn are going to be disappointed.

The cliffhanger ends with her apparently unconscious next to a dumpster.

Pretty sure her P will remain closed to visitors for awhile yet.

She's down bad.

I guess so she can have a new tatoo on her butt

After finaly having time to play the update, i was a bit disapointed.
I like both Nikki and Cara, but there wasn't that much content with them. I really hoped they stay permanent....
While i don't like Iris, how do u even get her flashback, i didn't see it in any of my saves ?
I so hope we can finaly beat up Zach, he has earned it.

I liked the Nikki content, she's hot. Even though I already told Alexis about Nikki, I hope she don't find out that my MC spent the weekend fucking her. I kept a separate save just in case.

And how did you avoid getting Iris flashback? ...you aren't on Lexi path?

On Alexis' GF route, when you're in her room you have to choose "tell a story" instead of "tell her about Nikki"

She will, where is the fun otherwise?

I chose tell about Nikki and the MC still tell Iris story afterwards.

Thats strange....i need to try out again....i had two encounters with Iris on alexis path...first a flashback when i was telling Erynn or Emily (i dont clearly remember) about my past years...then later when i met after the camp Alexis she came in our room.

 

[dolfe67]

Hmm probably, didn't choose that option

LMAO, did you serioulsly get kicked out? Man, people really can't handle criticism now days. Looks like the game will really take a dark turn then. Unexpected.

 

[Raziel_8]

Well that explains it.
No i don't have Alexis or Erynn paths, they don't interest me at all.
Nikki/Gabi/Valeria and Elena for me.

 

[CrioniC.Syn]

You don't have to be on Alexis' path for the flashback.
You tell the story to Emily if she's met Iris. But maybe you aren't on her path either.

 

[Raziel_8]

Emily has no path.
But i don't think she has meet Iris in any of my saves.

Yepp, realized it this morning while checking for new messages since I'm supporting a few games. Looks like she only wants your money when you show real passion to the game without even thinking of critic.
I even thought about upping the pledge and paying for a year in advance, but this urge is gone completely somehow.
Anyway free money for another dev, I already have a few in mind.

Emily doesn't have a path but you can creep on her, kiss her on the lips "accidentally", and feel her breast while she is sleeping because she insisted on sharing a bed lol. There are many incest-themed games that are blueballing their fans with about that same level of content lol. But in this game, it is just a throwaway b plot.

There is Emily_Points variable.
If you get at least 13 of them just by being friendly to your mom, she'll take you to choose a car and you end up seeing Iris&John. Then at home she'll ask to tell her your story with Iris

 

[Canto Forte]

What a wonderful entanglement .. after you fall over heels with your girlfriend, you bump into your ex who is also
kissing and grabby and groping on your girlfriend. Such a wonderful way to bomb your life with others who just grab your girl, not like she feels like belonging to you, any old gal can grope her, why not.

About the bff who fkks her female friends, it is her who gets them drunk, it is her who takes them out to get them drunk.

Emily doesn't have a path but you can creep on her, kiss her on the lips "accidentally", and feel her breast while she is sleeping because she insisted on sharing a bed lol.

You are entitled to all of those, because her supposed bff has been doing all of them for years and blaming her.
Such a great game where the victim of sexual abuse and substance abuse - she explicitly asked her to stop pouring her drinks, as a bff, and edging her to drink, such a cheap way out for a creep to make the victim apologize for being a victim.
We have the evidence as her glass is half full - she never drank, just ensured her victim was wasted before she made her move. Prety easy to make your drunk victim think she was the instigator when you have been pushing for it the entire day.
