VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.14.1.4 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[DaLuke2]

So, what was the point of this update?
Half a scene and nothing else? is this just a placeholder till Eva gets the chapter done properly?

Hope this is not a pre-cursor to AWAM style non-updates for ORS also

EK just comes back to publishing teasers as she did at some point with GGGB. Agreed on AWAM, like most games I ended up losing interest.
ORS is actually the only game I have not lost interest in, but it might happen soon though: my main playthrough is faithful Lena/Ian both open to swinging both ways but only together, so with Ian not being present I expect this upcoming update to be very empty and very frustrating to me.
I so wish EK had made Ian joining the Billy event, however since Chapter 9 it seems she makes a point to take all the decisions going against my wishes.

Well said! We love our chocolate queen!

I hope an Ian+Cherry+Emma relationship will be possible someday. Because, in my personal opinion, these two women are the most interesting and hottest female characters!

Emma is getting all the workout she needs splashing millionaires with wine at social events.

To be fair, she probably moved houses a lot and that's not joke. No elevator and all those stairs would justify her ass at least.

I like Ian. His pov is my preferred of the the two. But damn I cant wait to see Lena and the girls slut it up at the mansion.

The party is gonna be crazy.

Yep, and he seems to be doing pretty well considering he is orbiting the same social circle as Seymur

Alternatively, Seymour is not doing as well as he pretends to.

Oooh I didnt progress through that route that much so I didnt know

Alternatively, Seymour is not doing as well as he pretends to.

Since this is path where Arthur is not in jail though, wouldn't it make it the one where he wins the lottery? I'm not very well versed in his paths, admittedly.

 

[falsapersona]

Oooh I progressed through that route too far so I didnt know

I would love it if that were the case. How sweet it would be if Seymour were only a big pretender, neck deep* of debts, and with no real power to mess up the lives of the rest of the characters, but unfortunately, it looks like he does hold a lot of influence and power, shutting every door in Lena's path except for his and making his heart desire with the town, at least for now

Since this is path where Arthur is not in jail though, wouldn't it make it the one where he wins the lottery? I'm not very well versed in his paths, admittedly.

That would be the one, guess that also canonize being Ashley's sugardaddy too

Hmm Ashley is potentially the partner of Good Jess though, so not sure how that'd work together. Maybe there're some tweaks and/or things that are omitted.

Right, we see Seymour whining like a puppy to Agnes, the old money behind an acclaimed brand, while the kinda guys that hangs around him currently are people who are new to money like him.
I did say he's not doing as well as he'd like, not that he wasn't doing well. But Seymour clearly wants more than to just be a rich man.

No need to canonize anything since the game already accounts for this difference. When Lena signs the contract and gets on the route where Athur pops up, Jess' fiance becomes Dave instead of Ashley. Ashley is only Good Jess' fiance on anti-Seymour playthroughs.
Arthur could, for all we know, have met a whole other fate on playthroughs where we don't meet him. Similarly, Ash is free to be his plaything without conflicting with the Jess relationship.

I haven't done an Ian/Lena path for a while, so I may be misremembering, but doesn't good Jess is in a relationship with Dave? And he is in Europe at a competition during her coffee with Ian

Good Jess tells Ian who she's in a relationship with if they hang out.
Or, at least when it's Ashley she corrects him about the gender.
I don't think Ian/Lena influences it in any way, but I don't know for sure since I don't play their pairing.

So, in this new chapter we're going to see Billy's event, but if at the same time you took Seymour's route, that means a violation of the contract with him. Just wondering if Eva Kiss plans on giving the reader the option to keep on going with both routes or if she's going to eject you from one of the two eventually. Would be interesting for me if Eva Kiss gave the option to take a corruption route where she keeps a foot in both camps for a while, although Seymour seems able to find out everything she does, starting from the stalkfap profile. Curious to see how it plays out.
