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! If you want to support the project on Steam, you can Wishlist it through .

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!
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".

I mean, shouldn't she have remade GGGB then, with art that is more akin to what we are now seeing?
GGGB has a bunch of rape and incest and suicide and murder in it, as well as the whole Jasmine thing, I doubt Steam would want it, even if it did get a remake. And without Steam I doubt it would be worth it for Eva to spend time on.

Suicide? I don't remember a suicide.

Then again, I didn't get the incest playthrough either, other than the one with the disgusting Arthur.

As others have said, Ash can drive Eva and Bernard to suicide, murder someone in cold blood, murder someone else in self defense, drug and prostitute out Iris, prostitute out Monica, the questionable portrayal of Jasmine as a trans character, the incest, the incest baby,

Lot of very questionable things that Steam is going to flag. Not worth it for EK to remake.

I mean perhaps that's AI, but that's a common thing to do in visual novels like this. Have a pose with a blank face and then impose the expressions on top of it. It's a huge time save to draw a single pose without any facial details and five faces to place on that blank rather than five poses with a different face each. If the coding gets swapped is when you see errors like that because it's drawing the wrong expression to the wrong place.

Now, now. The incest baby is out of pure love and quite literally the one that does not belong here. :sneaky:
