He is unironically too good looking.
Well, I don't know that I agree with the general statement either. Consider ORS alone, Seymour isn't a compelling villain either.
Fair enough, Cindy does end up rushing into the modelling thing. If all NPC's had variable routes similar to Holly maybe some alternative outlet could have been explored.
I mean, it's not like I'd claim Eva is a master of script writing, but for what it is, yes I generally think Ian and Cindy have fun interactions. Ian can be charming or more overt or even put off by Cindy's traits. When they do get together I think their sexual dynamic is fun because Ian can stumble here and there if he pushes things, but playing his cards right he can get Cindy to lower her barriers to do new things.
And I will freely admit that I am perhaps a bit too into Cindy. I don't really find your view disagreeable, I can see how Cindy's scenes wouldn't work for everyone.
At the end of the day all the characters and pairings are subject to individual preference. I don't enjoy Ian/Lena so I wouldn't mind whatsoever if Eva neglected that route wholly in favour of spending dev time on the routes I enjoy or the potential routes I would wish to start.
Villains are very often characters with negative traits exaggerated to cartoon levels. This is something i personally don't find interesting at all, and my appreciation for Cindy's character comes very much from how her character is grounded and realistic in this regard -- she has flaws, but they're the sort of flaws you'll find in a normal human being and this is actually quite rare in fiction.
Given that the party is Lena POV I don't imagine we'd get a scene with Ian and Mike talking alone without her being present too, assuming Ian shows up at all.
Oh, I didn't know that, thought we were going to get a sort of "debriefing" of the getaway shenanigans for Ian's perspective.
Would make it quite a bit more interesting too, between the possibility of Lena having fucked Mike, and her potentially learning that Ian still has feelings for his ex. I imagine the player would get some input on how to react to such news.

For sure. But I also feel Chapter 12 was such a defining moment in the relationship between the two leads that having a shake-up so soon would undermine the work done there.
Lena's being so proactive in setting up threesomes and whatnot, lmao. It's about time that Ian starts putting some food on the table too!
How about threesome where Lena has sex with Gillian while Ian cries and masturbates
Knock yourself outHow about threesome where Lena has sex with Gillian while Ian cries and masturbates
. How about a twosome where Lena has sex with Gillian while Ian and Mike have that boring talk!? It's another Saturday night then?How about threesome where Lena has sex with Gillian while Ian cries and masturbates
I can't think of any good memories of a visual novel coming to Steam. I wouldn't be surprised if, after the Steam release, Eva Kiss comes up with the idea of a "remake".View attachment 5448293

I missed last week’s status report, but I’m back with this week’s.
I’ve been focused on pushing things forward on several fronts, mainly the script and the art. I’ve already written the events leading up to the party, and I’m finally working on the final part of this arc. It’s been a complicated process, since I keep weighing and discarding ideas as I go , figuring out which ones are worth implementing and which ones I should drop, how to develop the dialogues and scenes, how to order and connect them, how to shape the pacing, what art to use to support the narrative properly, and so on.
The previous chapter was easier because the scenes were clearer, simpler, and not as tightly interconnected as everything happening in this big event. Still, I’m making progress; always slower than I’d like, but steady enough. I’m really looking forward to publishing the next update and bringing this story arc to a close.
We’re also getting ready for the Steam release of Our Red String, something that’s been postponed for a long time but finally seems to be becoming a reality. Right now we’re putting on the final touches and going through the bureaucratic steps, but for now we’re estimating a possible release in February or March 2026.
Apparently it’s important to build up a good number of wishlists before launch so the game gets more visibility and impact, so I’ll be spamming you over the next few months to make sure you add it to yours!

And by the way, I’m looking for collaborators to help me put together the game’s Achievement list: picking key events, giving them a fitting or funny name, and adding a short description. So if that’s something you’re into, message me on Discord and we’ll set something up!
The previous chapter, for Lena, was just a gallery of optional sex scenes though. So it's not that odd that it was easier, like Eva also remarks.
