I have held off writing a review for Eva's games because I think I sound like a raving fangirl, but seriously... she deserves all the hype and more.
This and GGGB are outstanding. The storytelling is better than anything you'll find here and her characters are flawed but nuanced and real. Anyone that ever wrote fiction understands how hard this is to pull off. The path structure is a marvel in its complexity. It allows for so much freedom and consequence.
Our Red String improves on many things. The art is certainly better and the story is more personal. Also, where the characters in GGGB were still a bit shallow and stereotypical in their personal development, all this changes in ORS.
Decisions have consequences, but they are not good or bad, just different. Just like in life. Lena can be sexually empowered, she can be a slut, but she never becomes cliché. It's really outstanding, marvelous story telling.
Support her if you can.
