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

[BlandChili]

Since next update will focus on yet another far-away event I hope the characters who are left behind at least will have some interactions via social media/texting. I hate when characters just stand idle for several updates, it leaves such an ugly hole in the game in my opinion. Even few lines of text and a picture or two go a long way!

I'm hoping for a chance for Lena and Holly to actually do some sexting now that they can be a couple.

Wouldn't mind hitting up Eli either, share a few behind-the-scenes shots with her..

Hmm, that conversation is only possible with ian_lena_open not False.
What's the value of the variable for you, "True", "ian", or "lena"? Did Ian say he was interested in the threesome or experimenting together? (ian_lena_3some) because that might have triggered it.

Huh interesting. Just as you said ian_lena_open is set to true but none of the dialogue with Ian and Lena alludes to this. In fact it's the opposite. Both are actively cheating on each other and their inner monologues reflect that. ian_lena_3some is set to true as well. I think I'll just leave a save file.

What's the correlation of being a messy character just because you are a unstable drama queen? Louise is very picky and aware of her style and tastes, so being clean about her clothes, make-up, bed and furniture is very consistent.

I did not imply that there is a correlation between Louise's emotional instability and being messy. Louise is messy because she's written as being messy. She throws her used underwear around her room, and it stays there until Lena's cat can drag it around the apartment a day or more later, as it did on a couple of occasions.

Are there any "corrupt" routes like in Good Girl Gone Bad in this game?

Yea, you can turn Alison and Emma into bimbos, make Holly a gloryhole taking slut, and have Lena be an e-thot/"influencer".

Sounds fun, I'll give it a try! The walkthroughs are mighty complicated though, I wish there was a walkthrough where I could just decide what I wanted the outcome to be and see a map of choices for that

Edit: Thank god for ChatGPT lol, it can map out the exact "route"

Yeah Alison not texting at all during the beach trip was weird if u were on her love path.

Switch reviews with Holly or write a honest review. Then appear at Seymours visit (requires charisma/will). Obviously don't successfully blackmail Minerva.

Damn didn't know that was possible wonder if u could do something similar with Lena failing to save the cafe.

I don't know what the status is in the current chapters, but I remember that in the early game Lena can steal from the café if she has a bad relationship at least with Ed and lies to him about what she wants time off for. I can't recall if you need to lower your relationship with Molly too.

I don't recall the consequences of this, but I would assume it leads to a bad outcome here too.

 

[GibboBtw]

What is the most like, L playthrough you can do I wonder??

Like, how bad does it look for both Lena and Ian if you're doing everything you possibly can badly??

Has anybody tried and maybe wants to share??

Because I can't do it...

Sure, if Lena doesn't help out, Ed and Molly close and all further events are in the modern cafe (the one Seymour and Ian meet).

 

[sztrb]

Lena rejects Stan, so he gets trained by Chad Ian in a montage set to Eye of the Tiger and becomes a gigachad, with Ian as the wise mentor. (Only when Ian is not dating Lena of course).

Can you be a gigachad with a small dick though?

There's no "love path" for Ian to pursue with Alison, not exactly. As it stands, he can one-sidedly catch fee-fees for her and it changes Alison's perspective on theoretical threesome with Jeremy (if it gets brought up at all) and who initiates the talk about moving in together. That's it, until about the most recent scene in the latest chapter, where she drops the line about not minding getting serious with him. Her route, if you could call it that, is wasted potential all around, lazy rehashing of old encounters and constant detours to contraceptive talk, which finally gets resolved with Ian succeeding the persuasion check and learning the power of pulling out. Lena never gets jealous (duh, because she's perfect, right) of Ian getting with her, they meet each other only once, very early on and it's entirely optional, and that is such a missed opportunity to have a solid shot at adding depth and fleshing out characters through a classic love triangle. There could have been a competition, even a fight between these two, but alas.

My honest hope is that Ian gets Alison pregnant.

Wait is that official art? Why does it look so terrible?

Of course you can, in fact you need it -- without a small dick there's nothing bragworthy about pleasing girls. It takes actual gigachad to pull that off with the tiny dick.

That's why Stan is the final boss in this story, not the likes of Axel or Mike.

Last playthrough I did the Axel route for Lena and I think it has really good sex scenes but it's difficult for me to accept that she goes back to him, my head canon she is just not that enthralled by him, that's why I always go for the choices that show she has moved on. The thing is I like that his character is in the story and part of the reason I like Lena so much is because of his role and how he affects her character development.

It really pains me that I don't like most of the LI for Lena cause I know I'm missing on so much of the game... Like maybe Robert's route has some interesting twists but I have 0 interest in the guy.

funnily enough when playing Axel's route I also discovered that Bad Jessica has a cool story with Ian, again making me sad of how much good content is behind some uninteresting LIs for Lena.

Just view him as a foil?

Even if you elect to ignore him mostly he still pops up and you can go do his photoshoot without having sex with him. I'm not a big fan of him from Lena's POV but I liked the vibe he and Ian could have before Eva rewrote it, but that may reappear in the future. Axel and Ian were at least cordial in my playthrough.

I am curious to see what he gets up to now that Cindy seems to have passed through his stage in her story and if Lena didn't resubmit. I imagine he won't just disappear entirely. There's still interactions with Ivy too I imagine we might have, she still feels burned by him.

It depends, it could be a funny looking wheelchair

Nope, Lena barely allows him to be around. His route is currently a nothing burger. He serves as early game sex for Lena to start up and his route peaked at the fight with Ian and that should've been the automatic breakup.
