VN - Ren'Py - Our Red String [Ch.13.3.4] [Eva Kiss]

Like its predecessor GGGB, a shining gem among the myriad of low effort slops.

Great story, good writing, well set-up characters, lots of branches, doesn't shy away from the ugly stuff, great sex scenes and awesome art.

Can't recommend it enough.

The quintessential EvaKiss experience.

This game is honestly on the path towards perfection. You take what is good from Good Girl Gone Bad (GGGB) and you improve everything. The art, which was a main gripe in GGGB, has been highly refined with much finer details. The writing which was already highly verbose, takes it to another level in Our Red String. Add more characters and choices in the story for friendship and romance, and you have a serious contender for best game on the site. Additionally, you take control of not one but two characters! This gives the story twice as much variation, and becomes closer to a CYOA. This game respects the player's autonomy and have corresponding consequences. Watch as the two MCs' path converge or diverge based on what you choose.

This is a must try.

This game is one of those visual novels that really pulls you in with its storytelling. It’s not just about making choices, it’s about navigating complex relationships, personal struggles, and the messy reality of life.

Story & Themes
At its core, the game dives deep into themes of love, ambition, and self-discovery. You’re not just following a pre-written narrative, you’re shaping it. Every decision carries weight, and the characters feel like real people with hopes, flaws, and dreams. It’s easy to get emotionally invested, wondering how your choices will affect their lives.

Art & Visuals
Visually, the game has a distinctive, stylish art direction. The character designs are expressive, and the backgrounds are rich in detail, making every scene feel alive. The atmosphere shifts depending on the mood, enhancing the emotional beats of the story.

Gameplay & Choices
Unlike a passive visual novel, Our Red String gives you real agency. The branching storylines make every choice meaningful, and the game does a great job of reflecting the complexities of human interaction. Conversations feel natural, and your decisions can lead to wildly different outcomes, making every playthrough unique.

Why It Stands Out

• Deep Character Writing – The characters feel like people you know (or people you might become).
• Emotional Storytelling – It doesn’t just tell a story, it makes you feel it.
• Choice & Consequence – No two playthroughs are exactly the same, keeping it fresh and engaging.

Ultimately, Our Red String isn’t just a game, it’s an experience. It’s about the connections we make, the mistakes we learn from, and the dreams we chase. If you love visual novels that truly immerse you in a world of human emotion, this one is definitely worth checking out

one of the best experience playing this game with branching path depending on your decision. first playthrough should be your own choice based on your own morals and pov. 2nd and 3rd playthrough is to check what you may have missed depending on your first playthrough experienced. Overall it is a very new experience and showing both pov for both ian and lena gives a better output towards your mistakes or decisions. 5 star no doubt, definitely worth the time.

Currently the best game on the site. Well written characters, meaningful choices for the player, good art and the sex scenes can sometimes surprise you, which makes it even hotter. The story just follows the two MCs daily lives, which makes it feel organic and less contrived than some other games here.

It takes a special skill set to be able to create a story where almost all the characters are unlikeable and yet here we are , I remember picking this up in it's initial stages when it had only 2 chapters and decided to give it a try again mostly as a stopgap while waiting for better games , the initial impression I had back then still remains which is that of a cheap TV soap opera with even less compelling characters, now obviously those have their audience and so does this

Tropes in porn games are common and if done well can elevate stories , characters and scenarios , not here , the characters appear more as caricatures rather than people , all are defined by a single trope with ZERO depth to them and even the two protagonists aren't spared from this with the only difference being that the player can choose those tropes for themselves i.e either a passive cuck or a self deprecating slut , many people are happy with those traits in their characters , not me , the others fall in simple categories such as slimy old rich geezer , slimy co worker , the shy nerd , the creepy roommate , the black Tyrone , the annoying roommate , the psycho ex , the cheating gf , the lazy friend , the slutty best friend and so on , the characters never evolve beyond these tropes

Maybe it's my fault as a player that I expect a semi decent story even in a genre such as AVNs but we are living in a time where AVNs of very high writing quality exist that I am not allowed to mention in this review due to this sites review policy but I expect players to be smart enough to know some of them , so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a bit more , the best thing about this game is the multiple branches and not much more because the sex scenes are also average at best when compared to many contemporaries

My rating is based on the game giving me a 4 hour distraction and maybe the multiple branches

The visuals are very well done, but I particularly appreciate the narrative work done and the multiple branches and possibilities offered by the game.
It's a big job to maintain several options, over 13 chapters, each with its own text and character interactions.
A game that's extremely enjoyable to play again, with other choices.
An incredible game!

I didn’t expect Our Red String to resonate with me as much as it did. But somewhere between the moments of quiet vulnerability and the gentle unraveling of the characters’ hearts (in my case Ian and Lena), I found myself reflecting on my own relationships—past, present, and future. It’s strange, isn’t it? How a story like this can make you reconsider what you really value in the people you love. It’s not always the big, sweeping acts that define us, but the smaller, quieter moments—the things we say when we think no one is listening, or the way someone’s presence can change the atmosphere of a room. The novel taught me that love doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be real. And sometimes, that’s the most beautiful thing of all.

Eva Kiss doesn’t just tell a story; she gives us a mirror to look into, one that reflects our own desires, fears, and hopes for connection. There’s a depth to Our Red String that goes beyond its narrative. It invites you to pause and reflect on what really matters in your own life—and isn’t that what the best stories do? They leave you changed, just a little bit, because they remind you of what it means to be human. 5 Stars and more! THIS GAME ISN T A QUICK FAP....ITS A LESSION OF LIFE AND LOVE!

The gold standard for 2D VN games. Eva Kiss elevates on GGGB with a more dynamic, deeper game that is excellent in every aspect. The characters and their relationships feel real and your choices change their dynamic ina realistic and satisfying way. Lena and other characters progression (or corruption) is slow and well paced. The art is excellent and the music also serves to enhance the emersion. Probably the best thing this game does is the drama, constant twists in the plot keep the player on their toes, engaged and it doesn't feel monotonous at all.

Surprisingly complex game with choices and consequences, art style is pretty interesting but the gameplay and story is what sets it apart from other VNs. Going back and forth between two protagonists is interesting too, and the power/social dynamics are a good setting for the overall story.

Plays like an interactive comic book, with some of the most complex story branching imaginable. There's a crazy amount of choices available, which will lead you to all kinds of different possibilities and outcomes. Good Girl Gone Bad and Our Red String are easily among my favorite Adult Visual Novels. While Eva Kiss' games might make you miss the slick renders and digital animation present in other AVNs, you'll get an amazing story with the best Choose Your Own Adventure decision-making in the AVN genre. Great games which I highly recommend as must plays, Good Girl Gone Bad and Our Red String.

If their where a game that defines vanilla this would be it. Organic, yes. The art is fresh and I appreciate that. But that’s the only good thing about this game. As one that likes to get away from reality, I like games that seem real but are not just a story from any soap operas I can watch on my mother’s tv. Actually to be honest most of those shows had more kinks and drama than this game. The creators should stay to just making erotic art, that is what they are good at.

The game's story is great. It starts off slow but then it gets better and better. It's the kind of story that makes you care about the protagonists and root for them to do well. Another point that's worth highlighting in the game is the various routes it has. There are many, and for all games, you'll definitely find something here that you like. One last positive point I want to talk about is the gallery where you have the option to unlock what really helps players discover new routes. So this game is definitely worth playing.

ORS is currently my favorite ongoing game on this site.
The characters feel real and I feel connected to all of them even the side characters. The scenarios and different routes are very hot especially the cheating and ntr routes. All routes are enjoyable which makes this one of the most replayable VNs ever.
The art is the best I've ever seen.
Don't miss out on this masterpiece.

Overall the best 2D adult game now. Story is not quite as focused and good as her 1st game but the graphics are better. The other 2d games with good graphics are taking an age to develop which further boosts this game as it stands alone in timely deliveries.

Story 4/5, Originality 3.5/5, Renders 5/5, Animations 2/5, Amount of content 5/5

The best game out here story wise and visually, I can highly recommend. I already liked the last game but this one is even better. Interesting characters and nice choices which actually affect the outcome of the game

Until now, the best AVN I've played.

The story and art are very great, there is a great effort here - the 2D arts are very unique. The characters are very interesting and have much charisma, they manage some good constructions and turning points. The choices are good and have very revelant outcomings - there is a good variety of routes, and the dialogues make interesting to try and see what happens. The lewd scenes are quite satisfactory, with very mature lines, and the use of voice is good. The music variety and pacing is VERY nice and remarkable, it is never annoying. The gameplay between the two main characters is fun, and there are some great moments.

I really enjoyed this game, it's very interesting. The writer has managed to achieve something very engaging here, you can feel the attention and effort put into the lines, and I feel grateful for that. I'm waiting for more. If you like interactive stories, lewd or not, with really meaning choices that drive to interesting outcomes, try this. It surely will be very rewarding, at least was for me.

(played Ch. 13.2 Full)

Well, I was really interested in the game at first, but the way the dynamic of two protagonists was put together was a bad decision.

NEGATIVE POINTS
CROSSING STORIES
I had no interest in seeing the story from Lena's perspective. I was focused on Ian's story, which interested me, but when it gets to the high point, the game switches to Lena, and forces you to watch a story you don't want to see, because you were focused on another protagonist.

WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
The two stories would be separate, where the player chooses who they want to play with.
For example: I complete the story with Ian, then I'll play and see Lena's perspective in the story, that would be cool, and it would still give me space to work on each story individually.

Would I recommend it?
Yes, I definitely recommend it, there are people who like this dynamic.

I've played a fair share of VN games, but this one truly stands out as the most captivating and sensually charged experience I've ever had.

The character development in this game is simply outstanding. Each female character is a multi - faceted individual, far from being a mere eye - candy. Their personalities are richly detailed, with quirks, backstories, and motivations that draw you in. This complexity has me constantly engaged, exploring all the possible interactions and relationships that can unfold.

The narrative is refreshingly straightforward yet brimming with depth. The main story arc is easy to follow, which allows me to fully immerse myself in exploring the different branches of the plot.

And then there are the visuals. If you're someone who appreciates high - quality - visual games, this one will not only meet but exceed your expectations. It's a visual feast that enhances every aspect of the gameplay experience.

This is one of the few games that genuinely deserve a 5 star. I've been playing adult games since 2012 and this is one of the few that I go back to over and over again, mostly because of Alison. But yeah I can give a rating based on the different aspects that I consider in these games

Story = 9/10 - compelling but not perfect, has a lot of weird twists but amazing nonetheless

Models = 10/10 - a lot of characters here are 10/10 attractive, mostly Allison or Emma

Replayability = 9/10 - a lot of options to take and different routes, overall not bad
