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

TL;DR - Play it. You will thank yourself.

A sense of shame washed over me realising how long I had this game bookmarked only to never play it (cuz of the game size!)

Intertwined is special. Despite not having music, or any SFX audio for that matter - the believable characters, witty writing, and steamy scenes more than make up for it!

I'm nowhere near to finishing it and I just couldn't help writing a review!

Came here expecting a fun college themed VN, got a very interesting story full of lovable characters instead <33

This game had me taking notes ffs

My best girls - Erynn, Emily, and Nikki

Guess to some extend my rating is not needed, as there are so many, as this novel is running for so long. Anyway. For me it is close to excellent. It is a fresh breeze to have a novel with lovely characters without constant lewd scenes, but a real storyline behind. Yes, sometimes a bit lengthy, but you can scroll forward, so no issue at all. The male MC and - in my path of the novel - Layla as his girlfriend are so refreshing. I always end watching with a positive feeling, not given in a lot of other novels. So really well done. And the amount of intertwined relations is just amazing.

Played this on V.0.14.
The story is alright, and the little connections and twists are cool. Until you can see them coming from 2 chapters away.
The MC is very well done as a hothead teenager, props to that. However the girls... I mean everyone has their tastes but like 70% of the girls in this game are creepy/ uncanny looking ahh legal aliens..
After some time playing it also doesnt feel like a game and more like a one way narrow street. Choose option 1 to end the relationship forever, choose option 2 to bang. There is no middle ground. Even then, the erotic scenes are also quite average. The author made an effort to animate them and I do appreciate that. However. Its just meh. Gotta work on those angles man.
Not to mention this game will probably never get finished, seeing the amount of routes one can take, its a titanic undertaking filling out all the possible options.
Cant recommend. At least not until its finished.

that's one of those games where characters stay in your head when you turn off the pc and go to bed.
pretty awesome. and as far as ratings go it's one of the best AVN on this site. if not of all time. I'd put it up there with Summer's gone and BADIK.



looking forward to future updates . definitely . it could have done without the "socially inept sidekick/dudebro for life" but the betrayal is an interesting spin to it. I like that,pretty unexpected.

This was one of my very first AVN's I ever played, and it's still in my top ten without a doubt. Stellar visuals, a storyline that will keep you engaged from the beginning, and a colorful and dynamic cast. If you are on the fence, deciding whether or not to play, I can confidently recommend Intertwined.

One of the three most significant discoveries of all time! Intertwined left such a strong impression on me that I’ve returned to it over and over again. I’ve played through the game approximately six times in the past few years, and each run has been just as captivating as the first.

What makes it stand out is not just the story, but the way it weaves together emotion, choice, and atmosphere. The branching paths encourage true exploration, and every decision feels meaningful.

In short: a masterpiece in storytelling and design that has earned a permanent spot among my all-time favorites.

I had pretty high expectations going into this, and I was not disappointed at all. In fact, I'd even say I was pleasantly surprised. There are so many fun, sexy and interesting characters that it's really hard to pick favorites. I can already tell that this is a game that I'll actually want to play multiple times to feel like I'm not betraying anyone, lol. If I had to pick a favorite so far... it'd probably be Valeria.

Interesting story, good writing and pacing and I appreciate how the dev manages to connect ever character to each other. Renders are great. Wish animations were smoother, hopefully they'll go back and upgrade the earlier ones to balance it out at some point (also just noticed a mod after publishing this... sigh). Wish we had more music!

Overall, a great game and I can't wait to play more and see where we go next.

One of the best games I have played. The characters are hot but also have substance. The choices you make affect the game and story. Great concept and execution, can't wait for more. The narrative depth is truly impressive, drawing you into a world where every decision feels significant. It’s rare to find a game that balances compelling romance with such meaningful player agency. The world-building is also top-notch, creating an immersive experience that keeps you hooked from start to finish. This title sets a new standard for interactive storytelling and I'm eagerly anticipating future content.

Yep, excellent. SO many different pathways, so many wonderfully full scenes with different LI's, who are all hot in their own ways.... This one is a keeper, and I am so thankful that the dev has decided to keep going with it!
The title says it all, and it is indeed intertwined. Really sharp dialogue, dramatic storyline, hot hot hot women, not-horrible MC (that's a big compliment, just sayin)
I can understand some who may feel that a scene with an LI might be construed as just banter, but for me it fills out the relationship. I actually love to watch the MC develop ties with the girls/women. If ya don't skip, ya don't miss it.
Some may be very disappointed that they can't harem the whole troupe of gals, but for me (okay, female perspective here, but still) -- the idea of having to make an actual Decision pops the game into another level of Good. Kudos.
This VN is tops. Gratitude. 5 means 5.
My only caveat is: Please don't let me down...

I put this story on par with BAD as far as humor, intrigue and emotional investment. I have played most LI paths so far (ep14) and can't stop thinking about several of the girls! I am big time Team Valerie and Elena, but wish you could get Elena without having to crush Layla (hoping for possible throuple with Layla in future?). Anyway, happy I found this and am surprised it's not rated higher. The animations frame rate could be better, but the models and renders are pretty excellent. The amazing story overshadows any faults for me.

okay what happened.... we went from great writing, melodrama, to..... whatever the hell THIS is. solid 4 maybe 5 starts until this update. im so disappointed. the suspense build up about Santiago just for THIS. smh

+ hot gals
+ likable characters. I don't remember any annoying or bitchy ones
+ many choices/routes, and possible combinations
+ funny moments
+ John is a great guy
+ MC is ok, thankfully he's not a total loser
+ memorable situations
+ game has gallery
+ relationship development, in most cases is nicely done

- dream scenes.. ugh..
- too many girls, consequence of that is some of them barely get any progress with our MC, or it's very fucking slow. They need more screen time, or dev really should speed things up
- bad animations
- too much classic "teenager" drama
- cockblocking
- disappointing, short lewd scenes written without passion. Definitely weakest part of this game
- story could be better

Games doesn't offer anything spectacular, nothing you haven't seen before. I expected more from this avn, we already hit 14 chapters and it feels like nothing changes, things become monotonous and predictable. 3 stars

Art: Top notch
Story: Engaging
Writing: Excellent
Sex Scenes: Super vanilla
This game defines the phrase "came for the smut, stayed for the story." The characters are well written and come across as more than just there to fulfill the MC. The story is believable, but with definite soap opera twists to it. They did a good job of sprinkling sex scenes throughout to keep things interesting. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Really good story, a lot of content which still leaves you wanting more. Lots of paths and realistic relationships, highly recommend and cannot wait for more!

i love all the girls and hope there will lots more frequent updates as im excited to see where the story goes! im hoping for some pregnancy content!

Fantastic game. I do wish it was a harem game but great job fitting in extracurricular around the current girlfriends. Only part that is truly annoying is having to pick between Gabi scene and massive loss of Layla and Elena points. That is just cruel and I'm sure dev was smiling creating that choice knowing the turmoil unleashed. Overall top game.

Amazing game. Very happy to see so much support for it here. I have been playing it for days and I can say this has amazing character development, a fun story and really makes you think about your choices.

I saw another review that almost mirrored my thoughts on this game. For the first few chapters, this game could not miss, the women were all smokeshows, the story was great, the decisions were tough, and as the title suggests, everything was intertwined, the problem is now, it's been almost 5 years since the game debuted and at a certain point, this game should have been done and over with by now.

It's been years since I was excited for a new update, but this game was once one of my favorites, and I think Nyx might just need a fresh start for new game at this point. I still recommend this game, it's still better than most games on the site, it's just gone on for so long at this point.

Very long and fleshed out story lines, choices do ultimately matter which make you actually question your answers and save before fairly pinnacle choices. This is very engaging and well worth a shot. Also this warrants multiple playthroughs

A great game with one of the best-written romances. It's true to its name - everything is truly intertwined, but not in a forced soap opera way. It also shows how to make a simple slice-of-life story extremely tense and engaging.

Visually, it's equally good. There is a lot of work invested even in male models. If I had to pick my Top 5 favourite AVNs, Intertwined would definitely be among them.

Intertwined [v0.13.2] [Nyx]

I used to believe Intertwined was a top-tier game, however, with each new update the facade of an elite game crumbles into disappointment. There is a fine line between dynamic relationships and a hotmess and Intertwined dances on the line. Without the relationship driven drama of all the far-fetch connections of each character, this game would be utterly void of content. You mostly follow the MC partake in trivial/mundane day-to-day activities that leave the player wondering: okay so what is the point?

What exactly is going on with this story? You can spam the keyboard for literally an hour to bypass conversations that go on forever and still have GBs of content to explore. Although I appreciate the impactful decisions, its those impactful decisions that create a vulnerable flaw in this game. Often its those decisions that lock you into a route, which seem to be difficult to escape. As a result, you're reading irrelevant content that you're locked out of enjoying unless you save multiple routes.

Intertwined renders are beautiful. The dialog is polished. But overall the game is underwhelming as you experience the MCs every trivial day-to-day activities and conservation. Without the plentiful side-characters to add some spice to the story, the story doesn't progress very much as all.
