VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.2 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[BlandChili]

I don't think ORS was ever meant to stay "vanilla" it just doesn't start out with Lena in a gangbang and Ian on a cuck chair because the format of the game is to escalate the sexual content, just like GGGB did.

The content is certainly different, but I don't think Lena becoming Seymour's perverted muse is any more vanilla than for example the porn or gang routes in GGGB.

Eva Kiss wanted to cut a storyline because she was overwhelmed. It was between Ed and Stan who'll get the axe, and she went with Ed because the game already had an older man character in Seymour, who's also a key figure in the plot. Stan received a makeover and a more prominent role in the story than initially planned. Ed was supposed to have more screen time, comparable to Robert.

EK knew Ed was going to be more popular than Seymour.
We are 4 years in development and people still ask for good old Ed

A good portion of the game is still very vanilla. Almost all of Ian's routes are romantic vanilla routes. The kinkiest things that happen in them is the occasional maledom and the fact that some of the women are cheating on their boyfriend/husband for Ian.

I think it's just a bit more grounded than GGGB which automatically dials down the kinkiness. Ashley was hanging out with famous people, used as a street gang's stress relief and dealer, cucking her bf with his dad, lost her cuck to Africa which is probably a first, fucking HER dad etc all relatively quick story wise. I think GGGBs premise of a good girl potentially going right of the fucking rails gave Evakiss a lot more freedom to get crazy. The entire point was how she could (potentially) go from 0 to 9001 fast.

In ORS corruption and depravity seems like much less of a focus compared to relationships and character. Ian and Lena's sex life is mostly run of the mill hook ups, relationships, kink and cheating. Their friend group is mostly out of the limelight as well, no Jacks or Tyrones. Even slutty Jessica is more reserved than her previous version.

Though of course still plenty of time and room to ramp it right the fuck up.

Should I play the game or just watch gallery scenes? i am confused because there are many 5 star reviews and also a 2 star review with 48 likes. What should i do?

No guarantee you'll like it but this is definitely more in worth the play vs just unlocking the gallery territory.

I wouldn't put much stock in a review's upvotes good or bad. Negative reviews for popular games always get a lot of upvotes. Probably because people are more interested in finding out what may turn them off a game. I do that myself skip past all the 4-5s and read the one 1-2 star review.

Well, Ian is a male character made by a developer who emphasised maledom and cuckoldry in her last game, so it's pretty on par. From the male character perspective GGGB was pretty vanilla too then, we just haven't gotten to the gangbangs and addicting drugs yet.

It's absolutely dialed down. It's also a game that is not yet complete so I am fairly sure content of a similar tone will appear. Probably not any gangs, but there's other corruptive material for Lena to explore.

I need some light spoilers here. Besides each other, who else can Lena and Ian date? Can I rekindle Lena's relationship with Axel? And can I set Ian with Holly?

 

[gena orlov]

who else can Lena and Ian date?

Almost any major character for both

Can I rekindle Lena's relationship with Axel?

Yep

And can I set Ian with Holly?

Yep, and even more for Holly

 

[donorys]

Yep
Yep, and even more for Holly

Nice. Holly looks like she desperately needs a hug. While playing as Lena, I try to be nice to her and not as forceful, but I'm afraid of Ivy corrupting Holly so much So for the next playthrough, I want to have Ian interested in her

Also, I've seen some screenshots of Ian meeting Robert and slamming him to the ground. How do I make this happen?

You have to make Lena date Robert, so its almost impossible.

 

[donorys]

Just Robert or both of them? Because I don't see why Ian has to get worked up about Robert if Lena's dating Robert only. Unless Lena two-timing him

Would be nice if this played out Scott Pilgrim-style

 

[GokutheG]

You can have Lena with Holly without Ivy changing her. She can even join the two at pole dancing and not get corrupted. You just need Lena to pick choices to tell Ivy not to push her.

Ian can fight Robert only if Lena is seeing both. I think it happens at one of the life drawing events.

 

[Roderick2]

Check this out... we're on track to hit 3k pages of comments. If that doesn't make the game a success, I don't know what does.

Congratz, Eva Kiss

 

[Gicoo]

Is it possible for Ian not finding out about Lena cheating? Does it happen with low Jeremy relationship?

Jeremy always tells. So its important that nothing happens in Blazer.

You can pull if off with Axel, but its tricky: Be on good terms with him and have him fuck Lena in chapter 9. But in chapter 10, Lena musn't have feelings for him. Play music as a distraction, masturbating and even relaxing leads to fantasize about him. Generally use the bottom option when she deals with him to be safe. Lena shouldn't succumb to him at Blazers in chapter 11 that way. Then, in chapter 12, Lena can respond positively forwards him again and fuck him before the trip. Ian doesn't suspect a thing.

You would be saying the same thing about anyone of the male cast if you knew their storyline was scrapped early on. It's a lot less about the fanbase loving Ed and more about the feeling of "what could've been".
Me personally I think the most pointless/poorly developed male LI is Robert, scrap him from the story and very little would change. Would Ed have played a bigger role? Who knows, but it certainly would've been more interesting than Robert's. If nothing else, at least from a corruption point of view.

Im actually really curious about Robert,what the fuck was Evakiss thinking?
She really throught this character was going to be popular?
If you go to the date with him in chapter 2 you can clearly tell she had bigger plans for him...

This is how I feel about Ian. EK could have had the main character be an aspiring club promoter, or aspiring photographer, or aspiring DJ, or someone starting a modeling agency... but nope... we have Ian.

Ian is better than Robert, but seriously, the opportunity EK had to make the main player fantastically more interesting was severely missed.

No, Robert was used to enable Lena to have early sexual content. It is a porn game with respective expecations of their audience. Without Robert, Lena wouldn't fuck until... Mike? Ian? Quite late. Hence Lena and Ian can already fuck in chapter 2. Alison and Cherry share this with Robert.

Robert was intended to be unpopular, as in the "scrappy".

The mistake was that Eva didn't simply drop him after his second fight with Ian. Now he occasionally is around to fuck Lena, a relationship that goes nowhere. And the joke stopped being funny ages ago.

The thing is,both Alison and Cherry,the early options of Ian are not shitty like Robert.
So not only Ian has more options both are better than the absolute TRASH option of Lena.

If Ian is gnome, Perry is living in quantum realm.
