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

[Nobuko]

I played through the Ian/Holly route for the first time yesterday and my feels got hit so hard, I actually cried a little lol. If only there was an option to not do everything in one night. At least if you told her in the park that you're not looking for a girlfriend, then the game says they'll "go slow".

It was disappointing to discover that if you go for Robert, then you'll get bad Jessica. Doesn't make sense to me why Robert is one of the markers for causing bad Jessica. Mike, I understand, but not Robert. It should be Jeremy and/or Axel instead. If that marker is going to remain, then I hope we get at least one new guy option for Lena around her age. Then again she already has so many scenes to be developed with the existing guys (three of which are 30+ years older than her...), that probably isn't going to happen any time soon. Guess I'm looking forward to Stan development instead.

I hope that will happen especially after u are caught humping Cindy in the alley

Well, I mean, maybe if Ivy got enough of an eyeful of Ian fucking Cindy to develop an interest in trying it on with him (especially if she had heard enough of how good he was in bed from Lena), she might use the opportunity to blackmail him into servicing her sexually. I'm not talking about a mutual sexual relationship here - at least not at the start - but basically taking her pleasure from him while refusing him release. She's pretty much the only one, besides bad!Jessica, who I could see being brazen enough to do that, or being practiced in the art of femdom, especially if she can simultaneously have some fun punishing Ian for leading her friend Lena on. I mean, if she catches the feels for him at some stage down the track (cos you get the impression Ian is no slouch in the sack), she certainly wouldn't have planned for that when she went down that road.

Ehh, maybe it wouldn't work, IDK. In any case, we don't really know that much about Ivy as a character beyond her flippant attitude towards sex. I mean, you really get the impression she gets around and has lots of sex, yet you never actually see her getting overly familiar with any guy, which is kinda weird. Also, despite Lena being her best friend, she doesn't seem to know half the things Ivy gets up to - she was surprised to find out Ivy was secretly modelling for Axel and didn't tell her, she has no idea how Ivy was making so much money, etc etc. I mean, they're meant to be best friends, or at least very close. It's kinda weird - like she has this whole other life Lena has no idea about.

It'll be interesting to see her fleshed out in game, and I hope either way Ian will get to spend some time with Ivy and get to know her. And hopefully more.

I notice a couple of people mentioning Stan, and I'm sorta curious: What is it about Stan that there are people who want to see Lena with him verses other guys? Is it because he's more relatable by some players (as in, more of your average guy rather then a chad)? Or is it that you're just curious how that relationship and the sex would look, or what?

No judgement whatsoever, I'm just curious.

I mean for me it doesnt have to be with Lena, but i would like to see Stan and Perry get some

Curiosity if EvaKiss was gonna do something particularly creative with him, also roommate dynamics would be funny with Louise busting his balls but Lena doing him on the side.

A bit dissapointed his route seems to be only simp/incel stuff, holding out some hope that his story has more variation in the future, but for now I'm not super interested in his content.

Someone asked in the NEW CORAL CITY thread for a similar game and OUR RED STRING was mentioned. So I thought let's try it. What should I say... Wow! I'm hyped! I fall in love with this game. Awesome!

I would go so far and say the number of players who relate to Stan are close to zero. Not even Stan would recognize himself in the mirror. I like the contrast, especially when sex is reduced to an animalistic showdown between the beauty & the beast. I mean which sane person would stoop so low and pleasure Stan out of compassion? Exactly. Someone who's not afraid of wrestling a pig.

 

[slightchance]

I guess I sorta knew the answer anyway - that some people are into that sort of degradation kink, and I'm not gonna judge - but I did wonder if there were genuinely others who were interested in something more 'wholesome' from the Stan-Lena connection. Eh, you get what I mean.

You can have your own opinion of what archetype Stan plays in this story but I'd say he hasn't shown many redeeming qualities so far. He's like the pathetic dad in GGGB, Eva's first game.
Like in RL, I don't want to feel Lena or anyone bad about how they get themselves or others off - on the contrary. I want them to love the act despite the (abnormal) circumstances and if they both learn from each other in the process that's fine by me. Eva Kiss, like you said, needs to come up with some better plan though as his character arc is non existent. If he stays an unfunny slob with nothing to say and Lena only gets down on her knees because he owns a camera and a penis, well, the whole arrangement might be more degrading than wholesome from my POV.

I think different types of people have very different ideas of what they considered redeeming qualities, as well as irredeemable ones. Everyone has a different value system. Not to say Stan's showed many. But neither have a bunch of other characters and he's far from the worst.

 

[Frenchtopus]

In the future I think that if Lena keep interest in Stan maybe he will start to take care of himself and became a gigachad or something like this, that's why I play his path

 

[Rickster82]

Could it be that the female characters are based on porn stars? Visually, Emma looks a lot like Abella Danger.

Well, yeah. Because EvaKiss uses reference photos to produce her art. And it's fairly easy to find pictures of porn actresses and actors in various sex positions.

This image was posted on Discord by Eva as a sneak peek of Chapter 9. I think this is a variation of an older drawing, but Alison is holding a phone and the background seems to be the hotel room from chapter 7...

So don't get your (for whatever reason) hopes up about Agnes. I doubt Eva wants to sift through loads of geriatric porn.

I hope Chapter 9 gives a non-Alison-route Ian another opening to join her on that trip if it's over between him and Lena in Chapter 8. Finding all the Alison/Jeremy pictures on his phone could lead to some interesting dramatic scenarios if they started dating.

Just a wish though. Not a "y tf u no doo dis?!?" gripeful fan demand.

Is Ian shoot photos of Alison without her knowing (bc this place looks like an hotel) or Jeremy to bragging about to voyeur Ian?

I just hope Ch9 the non-Alison route is about Cindy and the whole alley debacle!

Yees Alison my Favorite I can't wait and it looks more and more that she will be one of the main Players in Chapter 9. Love it.

But the Background is really interesting...I still believe it's too early for the IanxAlison Vacation?! But pleaase I hope this is not a Jeremy Scene. Damn it now I have to think what this could mean for her Story

If you play the Non-Alison-Route Ian how is the Status with Alison and Jeremy in the End of Chapter 8 if you don't mind me asking? But yes it would definitely be an intersting second Entry Point for her Route for sure if Ian and Alison still have a good Relationship at this Point? I'm asking because I never played this Scenario

It was just Ian ask for more photos of Alison from Jeremy, nothing more

Ian can still have a good relationship with her, but if you don't have sex with her after that first meeting with her and Cherry or the second opportunity where you skip out on Lena/Holly in the park for her, you're locked out so far. Basically at around the middle with her on friendship status if you're otherwise nice to her. Your friendship with Jeremy fluctuates based on other choices, often independent of Alison. Can be high or low friendship.
