VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 12 Full] [Eva Kiss]

[JohnnySolo]

I would say that the prerequisites are not directly obvious, but they are.

The first is a meeting in the gallery. If you choose the Lust answer option, then Seymour will say in fancy words that he agrees with those who take pictures of naked girls just to drool over them. Of course, this is not too obvious yet, but it can already be added to the piggy bank.

The second is a meeting in a restaurant. Now he says "That just makes you so much better", but if I'm not delusional and my memory does not deceive me, then in earlier versions he said "only better". It does not differ in meaning, but stylistically adds dark shades to this statement, coupled with a classic villainous smile.

The third is that during the photo shoot Seymour out of the blue starts calling Lena "Doll". This treatment gives the impression that he already considers Lena his toy and property. I think that many girls would think after that about the intentions of the photographer.

The fourth is that he quickly agrees with Agnes and asks Lena for the most depraved shots with Axel. All in all, it doesn't stray too far from his provocative style, but given how far they can go, it turns into soft pornography.

The fifth is the smirk during the phone call for the appointment in Chapter 9. Already portends something unpleasant and dark even before they meet.

Well, I would also include here the fact that he appeared in a cafe. In itself, this is harmless, but he clearly knew about the state of affairs in the house, plus the manifestation of too close interest in Lena.

These are all suspicious moments that I could remember.

Thank you, all points pretty obvious.

I think my problem is, that I still hope that in the Seymour / Lena story there is something more, not just the bad rich guy how can’t accept that someone is not obeying him and now he wants to “destroy” him.

And don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait until Lena and/or Ian are taking down this pig.

I agree, I had very high hopes for Seymour from the very beginning, and I have to admit, the current dynamic in Chapter 9 is a little disappointing and makes him a flatter character than he could be. I hope revamp will make it more interesting. Or in the following chapters, unexpected sides/motives will be revealed.

I would suggest trying the apk version to see if it's a device specific issue.

Since his first appearance he screamed of Arthur with a coat of paint to me, with the money and posing as a intelectual. By the time the photo sessions started i became pretty sure he was going down that "daddy/blackmail" path.

I expect his route will be equaly quite big just as Arthur's was in GGGB.

It's working just fine with GGGB :0

At the moment I'd say he's substantially less interesting than Arthur because of the emphasis on compelling Lena rather than corrupting her. Arthur might try to drug Ashley at one point, but for the most part he was simply an opportunity to do increasingly depraved things. Seymore has shades of that, but he takes great pains to keep everything he's doing reasonable at the surface level. It comes across less as less depravity and more as trapping an unsuspecting innocent.

On top of that, the instant Lena declines to play along, Seymore drops the hammer and tries to force her hand in the most blatant manner possible. It's all about control, not temptation. Whereas Arthur will mostly fade into the background if Ash isn't interested; it nicely illustrates that Ashley (and the player) is complicit in the corruption. Plus, Arthur had a certain twisted charisma, a sort of refuge in audacity. Seymore is such a smug snake I'd much rather punch him than let him instigate something, no matter how sexy.

That's how I see it, anyway. YMMV. I'm not normally a fan of corruption, but I thought Arthur was an unusually well done example thanks to the simple combination of taking no for an answer but pulling no punches if you keep saying yes. It could change in the future obviously, but so far Seymore is the typical series of excuses to ameliorate the heroine doing 'bad' things.

My Lena will become Seymour's little pet and will enjoy being humiliated in public, while Ian will witness it like a good cuck

I wish there were only male/female protagonist. Playing both characters seems frustrating.

feel you. Game looks great but playing as male and female make it wierd and confusing and breaks away immersion.

I can appreciate why someone might have their opinion; I gotta be honest though, the mixed-protagonist angle is part of what makes this game stand out from a lot of others on the site, IMO.

So as a guy that never followed GGGB and just started paying attention to this dev, is the lack of communication and progress reports normal? Or did this last EP really take its toll? Can't say it isn't a bit of a red flag when deciding whether to donate...

EvaKiss seems fairly consistent - her Patreon seems to average an update approx. every 2 weeks, though this increases the closer she is to a new chapter release. She's never been a "post every day or two" developer so far as I know.

Up to you to judge what you make of that.

Pretty sure you have to go with her to the shoot and have a high enough relationship and basically call him out on his behavior (multiple times cause he is a creep) if you are a low relationship with Cindy pretty sure she tells you to fuck off or you might not even get a call.

 

[Tierra_Azul]

Stopping Axel from getting any is impossible. He's too good-looking, and has all those good Scandinavian Lodbrok genes..... But, I think you'll have a fairly good chance of saving Cindy if:

A.) Ian commits to a relationship with her. (Not the cheating route.)
B.) Ian moves mountains and becomes a full time councilor for Wade and Cindy.

Anything else will more than likely end with Cindy going for Axel, and end with the orgasm of her life, making sure she'll never waste time on Wade again. But we'll have to wait and see how Eva proceeds with the storyline.

Probably, but it's not easy. You need a solid relationship with her for starters. You also need to chase after her in Chapter 3 (when she first meets Axel), and I think you need to show up to Wade's birthday party; bad news if you had Ian's eye on Holly. You can, however, suggest Wade accompany her to the first shoot with Axel if you don't want to go yourself. Then you need to keep Wade calm when he sees her post.

If you jump through all those hoops without annoying her, she should be willing to allow Ian to accompany her on the shoot. Once there, you can try to keep Axel off her (there are some stat checks, and I believe it's best to ignore incidental contact and only complain when Axel keeps stepping out of line). Afterwards, it should be possible to ask Cindy if she's serious about her relationship with Wade, which seems to sober her up a bit.

Who knows how long that will last; this is Cindy after all. But for now it seems to get her mind off Axel and back to her boyfriend.

I fucking love Alison for my reasons. First, i think a woman who shows straight interest and hots for me is a big turn on. Second, her body and her scenes with Ian are hot as fuck, i really like how naughty she can be and how this make her more into Ian that she not even think give attention to Jeremy.

I also love her as character. Just like Ian and Lena, we see Alison in difficult moment in her life and with more struggles than any other NPC, in my opinion. She was dumped by a guy who is completely out of her league (screw you, Milo!), lost her former job because of things out of her control and now work in a shit job who doesn't fit her professional expertise and have to come back to live in her parent's house. She has this inner conflict of while she wants have fun and explore her sexuality to recorver the time she lost with Milo, she feels is getting behind because her colege's friends are married, get pregnant and starting a family while she keeping hang out in bars like a teenage, in her words. That's why i like see Alison as a "third non-official MC" together with Ian and Lena.

I fucking love her the same way i fucking love Lena and Holly. My only fear is if in a path where my Ian end-up with Lena or with Lena and Holly (Holly Trinity, i belive), the only fate of Alison is be use and exploit by that douche Jeremy

Hi, your post is similar to my points about Alison, thanks! I am an Alison fan too, I just hope Eva makes several nice solutions to her paths. I hope for an Ian-Alison being a love pair ending, a "wild" Alison ending with Ian and Alison a loving pair and having major fun in the bedroom, an ending where Ian and Alison are friends with benefits and an ending where Ian is with Lena, but still (just) friends with Alison, who found someone fitting her.
Naturally there will be endings Alison with Jeremy or Alison finding someone completely new, but the endings above are those I hope for being incorporated.

 

[Overfoxed]

Alison was a character I dismissed in the early chapters, but now I have a second save on the go dedicated to her.

I don't think the relationship with Ian is as impactful as some guys have written here, the main parameter here is wade_cindy. Therefore, the procedure is as follows (in my opinion):
1) Be sure to go to 'Shine' with her and not say you'd like to see her photo. But it's a good idea to dance with her for relationship points if you choose book fair;
2) Tell Wade that 'You need to fight for Cindy' (wade_cindy +1);
3) Go to an art gallery with her, preferably have the opportunity to have all pep talk and if you don't want Ian to get to know Axel further, then convince her to take Wade (wade_cindy +1). And by no means say that Wade called her selfish;
4) On no account go to the club if wade_cindy<2, because it will lead to a quarrel. If w_c=2, then it only slightly affects the relationship between Ian and Cindy, so for writing reasons I would choose book fair in both cases;
5) If you chose the book fair, then when they come, choose Cindy's joke and tell about the quarrel between Cherry and Lena, and you can just in case choose her side in the dispute so that there are enough relationship points for the photo shoot;
6) During the phot shoot, you need to have 6 Wits (this is mandatory, despite the fact that you can have the same number in other parameters. The last paragraph moans why) and say 'It's surprised me', 'She must learn...' and 'No touching';
7) Say 'Do you really want to be with Wade?'. To do this, you need to have 6 Wits (wade_cindy +1).
