It seems to me that a lot of people will not wait for the end of this epic. Why is that? It's simple and the reason is trivial - it's death from age-related changes. Since about the spring of last year, the speed of issuing new content has dropped by an order of magnitude. And I was completely convinced of my assumptions by the fact that by the New Year we were all left without a gift and did not even say simple words of apology. We had to wait for something to be said about this as early as 2026.01.02. I am saddened by this. I have a strange feeling that Santa is quietly sneaking up from behind with his pants down. And since we did not receive a gift for the New Year from him, there are reasonable concerns about what this gang, consisting of a really old pepper, a pair of big-eared ecology activists and a terribly worried deer of unknown origin, wants.

How many drugs are you on at the moment?

She tried it for backgrounds, don't know if they're used in game.
I'd say they are. There's at least one that has the distinct "AI doesn't know how chairs, or anything really, work" telltale signs.

Wasn't this also promised in the previous update?

Maybe Ian/Ivy, assuming Ian even appears. Else Zarina and some chumps like Jack.
That screenshot of Ian/Gillian makes me wonder if maybe it'll be surprise small POV switch so we get their supposed date.

... Actually, if Gillian is Mike's girlfriend, what if she shows up at that party on the last day, either invited or out of concern after their last phone talk thing, while Ian gets potentially invited by Lena...? :whistle:

Regarding Lena's affair, Jeremy will inform Ian no matter what. How can this situation be avoided? Could ruining the relationship between Ian and Jeremy prevent it?

So if you want to make a cheating Lena and you want to avoid Jeremy affecting that path because he ALWAYS tells Ian then while playing as Ian be a shitty friend and when the time comes where Jeremy tells about Lena cheating, i believe this always happen after the tournament, just react angrily and always antagonize Jeremy, this will make Ian and Jeremy destroy their friendship and while they're not friends anymore then as cheating Lena you can have sex with Jeremy at the party at the end, cheers!!

Jeremy always spills the beans no matter what whenever Lena cheats with someone from the club. Lena can however cheat with Axel and Seymour without Ian finding out. With Axel it's a bit tricky though as you don't want to have sex with him at the club else Ian finds out. To circumvent this, first have sex with Axel at the photo shoot at his house then Ignore him, don't masturbate to him and choose options that give Lena a negative disposition to him. Then at the club reject his advances. In chapter 12 agree to meet with him then fuck him.

I had this issue with Android. So I installed joiplay and using the joiplay, I am installed windows game in Android which works perfectly fine. Everytime new version comes, I am just copying saves folder in the new version and uninstall the old version game.

I usually do one route in these games (route that I'm the most interested in) and skip through the rest even though I'm completionist when I play AAA games but I must pay better attention since ORS is branched in that way, that you always miss some choice/scene.

You sound just like YandereDev... Are you YandereDev?

I think the wording of the last Patreon post is very interesting:
I'm commited to keep doing my best this 2026 to keep progressing on Our Red String and deliver a satisfactory experience, chapter by chapter, and until the whole game is completed.
...whenever this may be.

During this year I hope to be able to advance the main plot threads and get the game closer to it's end,
...hinting that the game is moving into the latter if not endgame.

I hope I can continue to earn your support through 2026 and carry this project all the way to its completion.
...not getting more specific but again hinting that chapter 15 (which let's be honest is definitely going to be the only one in 2026, and I would bet only part of that chapter) might already move towards tying things up.

My prediction for the game moving forward.
  • Chapter 14 closed in February/March
  • Chapter 15 in August/September (small preview in May)
  • Bigger dip in quality of art
  • At least one giant character blunder (retcon; redesign, move that sparks outcry and subsequent fix)

Saddest of all (imho) is that even though EK is probably still doing fine financially in terms of ranking on Patreon (in the adult section) there has been a continous drop. With the right structure/production and playing into certain audiences this could have been on the Summertime Saga level.
