VN - Ren'Py - Our Red String [Ch.13.3.6] [Eva Kiss]

I went into this one thinking it would just be another other games , but it really caught me off guard - in a good way. Yeah, the sex scenes are seriously well done - they’re hot, detailed, and actually feel connected to the characters and story, not just thrown in for the sake of it.
But what really surprised me was how deep and emotional it got. Some scenes straight-up shocked me, and not just once. It touches on some pretty real stuff — relationships, choices, identity - and it does it in a way that feels raw and honest. There’s a ton of paths to take, and the choices feel meaningful, like the story could go anywhere. It gives off this feeling that the possibilities are endless, which kept me hooked.
It’s mature, it’s bold, and it’s definitely not afraid to explore darker or uncomfortable moments. If you’re looking for something more than just spicy scenes (though those are definitely great) this one’s worth diving into

I think Eva Kiss is one of the few authors who really makes the charm of a visual novel, lots of choices and routes that really make the novel a game and you can choose the route you want to experience.
Writing wise I think Eva is at a very good level, she has the ability to not let the plot fall apart, that alone is more than 90% of the game authors on this site. The drawing style is unique and I kinda like it. And there are good looking male and female protagonists, which as a bisexual I'm happy about.
My only big complaint is the dual protagonists, which is a matter of personal preference, but I think the dual protagonists hurt some of the immersion.
In any case, I'll be picking up a copy on steam to support the author after OSR comes out with early access. If Eva will make a new game after making this one, I very selfishly hope it's a single protagonist.

One of the best games on this platform in just about every aspect, from characters, non-linear story line, great writing, high quality art. Just about everything you could want from a visial novel .

This one is really, really good
has a lot of routes, the character are well developed, the story is compelling, and the art is pretty consistent and pleasing to the eye. Although i do feel that Lena's LI are not that great, I heartly recommend this one.
Also, there are some interesting buttstuff scenes

Absolutely love this game! The story is deep and engaging, the character models are stunning, and the branching paths offer endless replayability. The choices you make genuinely impact relationships and events.

Chef 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.
