Hence the title of the game. "Our Red String" is referencing the red string of fate, from various Asian cultures, that ties Ian and Lena together, and how their string(s) is weaved in and tangled with the strings of all of their friends.
For me, they are perfect for each other, but the title of the game would be perfect for a game that's romantic and dramatic without sex scenes.

I don't like gggb that much because there is no in game walkthrough, that I could see. The choice system is also so complex and kind of... convoluted, like if you don't say hi to someone on some day, then you get locked out of a bukakke later on as a fake example. like one has nothing to do with another... it's just you needed so many prerequisites to unlock certain paths and that locked you out of other paths, it's too much, i couldn't be bothered to study the PDF walkthrough religiously to play the game the way i wanted. i wish more devs released walk through mods.

Even the walkthrough mod for this game isn't the best it could be. It doesn't guarantee you end up on the path you want. I remember it only gives some info on what responses make certain people happy which for me was practically useless really and didn't tell me what I needed to choose to see what I wanted to see. I'm not like other people who maybe enjoy playing the same game 1000 times, and reading a walkthrough. I'm a one and done person, I want to choose the scenes I want to see and never touch the game again, except I want it within the framework of a game still, rather than just unlocking a gallery and watching it like animated hentai disconnected from any choices.

TLDR gggb would have been the greatest game if it had a proper in game walkthrough, then I'd agree. Right now it's one and done with mediocre feeling because i could only unlock maybe 1 or 2 paths following the pdf walkthrough. couldn't even figure out how to see what i wanted to see. lol

even in ors my playthrough skipped the holly scenes a lot of them, even though i wanted them, no idea why, but i know 100% even if you told me how to unlock them, i will not do another playthrough anymore... i'll just finish this playthrough to the end, consider it mediocre because i only saw 80% of what i wanted, and be slightly annoyed games like this never get proper in game walkthrough mods. and move on to the next game. one and done.
No offense, but this feels like a you problem and not a problem of the game. You are certainly welcome to your opinion, so if you find the game mediocre that's fine and you don't need to defend that opinion.

But at the same time it doesn't sound like you're really giving either game a fair shot. In both games you can hop on, or get off, a character's path at multiple points. As an example from GGGB, there was one playthrough I remained relatively neutral with Jack the entire game, I showed some interest in him, but never had sex. I had lost the job at the advertising firm, so I took the job at Jack's club as a dancer, which is the last sex scene with Jack in the game before the ending, and still was able to have sex with him despite going the entire game denying him. Literally even last second Eva allows players to see sex scenes, so long as you haven't been openly hostile with characters. Ffive has been testing how many times Lena will give into Axel and Seymour, before Eva quite literally takes that choice away from him to get off their respective routes. How's that going by the way ffive ? I assume Lena was late arriving at the beach party?

I'll admit, the .pdfs are confusing at first glance, and certainly overwhelming, but that's because of how many branches to these games there are, and how many different ways a scene can play out. But I think if you took a little more time to look it over, and especially to understand the variables at the very end of the walkthroughs, it will make a lot more sense how to get what you're looking for. And if you don't want to do that or there is a nuace that escapes you, ask in the respective thread, though I would ask you actually attempt to understand the walkthrough if you're wanting multiple routes. msleomac is incredibly insightful for GGGB pathing, and while I don't hold a candle to them, I've still helped several people find the outcomes they're looking for. There are probably about 10 people in this thread that could do something similar for you for ORS, though it can be a lot more complex due to the dual protagonist nature of ORS, and the fact that the game is still evolving so we don't have all the answers yet.

But at the end of the day, these games are purposefully designed to be played through multiple times, in multiple different ways. It's actually kind of astounding just how much effort EK puts into all the subtle, and often not so subtle, changes to dialogue, inner monologues, and facial expressions of characters depending on choices that a player could have made 10 chapters prior. There are AAA game studios that put in less effort.

Me too. She haven't done something like that before.
You mean Ash having sex with her actual dad, her mom, her mom's boyfriend, her mom's swingers club boytoys, or her boyfriend's dad doesn't count as something similar to fucking a step-dad?

For me, they are perfect for each other, but the title of the game would be perfect for a game that's romantic and dramatic without sex scenes.
This game can absolutely be played as a romantic game with some additional friend drama. My first through third favorite paths in this game are all romantic paths with Ian and Lena trying to be supportive friends to the people around them. So the title of the game fits perfectly. Keep in mind just because the red string of fate connects to people doesn't mean that those to people will get together, their string can get tangled and knotted with the strings of others, which can prevent them from reaching the person at the other end of the string they're bound too.

How's that going by the way @ffive ? I assume Lena was late arriving at the beach party?
Yes. Yes, she was. :whistle:

The flexibility regarding this is actually impressive, even more than usual -- at the beginning of the chapter Lena can opt to make effort to stop cheating in general, then if you choose to meet Axel (or she'll do it automatically with Axel desire active) she can either put a stop to her relationship with Axel (which turns off desire variable) or actually re-activate it, if she resisted/ended her relationship with Axel before, but chooses to kiss him and go with him instead of boarding the train. Also, depending on whether she's made the mentioned decision to stop cheating, her love variable for Ian can either drop to reduced value, or to remain fully active in which case (if she ultimately goes with Axel) she has internal monologue how she feels pulled in two directions, unable to decide if she's more attracted to Axel or Ian.

I'm really curious where this goes. At least with extra sources of will points my Lena now has one to spare. Maybe she'll get an opportunity to use it on that trip with Seymour, or maybe not. We'll see.

Hello everyone

I'm new here and it's been only a few days since i have been introduced to EVA KISS's masterpieces.
I just have some questions about the game and i appreciate your help in advance.

1.How long does it usually take for the devs to update the game ?

2.I downloaded the game a few days ago from another website and played the game till the end of it which was the beach house and LENA and IAN having sex, but here i noticed that there's been an update yesterday , am i missing something in game or it's the same update that i have already played ?

3.When there is an update here do i have to download the entire game again or there will be a small patch to download and move it in game directory ?

ExactlY!

As far as the "game" part of AVN Game part goes, I've been chasing for another ORS high ever since I learned of BaDIK and ORS. If I'm going to play an adult game, branching choices and consequences game like ORS is something I want to play, and I can't find any like it, other than BaDIK and GGGB. And GGGB, i'm gonna be honest, is way too wild for me. ORS happens to be better written too
