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

[HypMarteer]

Not sure if there's a path where this is made exactly clear but from my deductions Jess is Mike's gf and when Ian has his trip and it's explained to him how there's a good Jess and a bad Jess because of how Lena didn't sleep with someone, my guess is if Lena sleeps with Mike then behind the scenes Jess finds out and she becomes bad Jess and if she doesn't then Jess stays or becomes good Jess? Not sure if Robert is somehow involved in this too since trip version Evakiss was saying there's 3 versions of her depending on two people that Lena might or might not have slept with.

Thoughts?

3 variations? I remember only good or bad Jess, man it's been I while since I last played. I always thought, and I could be wrong, that good Jess was going to be another lesbian option if Lena didn't sleep with one of the male options. IDFK.

 

[Solomon Grundy]

Yeah, there's only 2, and they're both Easter Eggs to GGGB. If Lena sleeps with either Robert or Mike, the version of Jess we are introduced to is Bad Jess from GGGB (looks attitude, etc). If she does not, we get Good Jess, which is Best Jess, which is why my Lena never sleeps with Robert or Mike.

Thus endeth the lesson.

Same, but it kind of turns her into a celibate nun. Wish there was an earlier lesbian option.

Nah, come on, that's too far-fetched and silly. After one affair, she suddenly goes from a girl who looks her mid-twenties to a 45-year-old junkie? The major turning point in GGGB for Jess was whether or not she would quit drugs. Bad Jess obviously continued taking drugs. I mean, look at the effects of years of taking cocaine or heroin — the effect is exactly that. Wrinkles and an aged face. And that's what bad Jess has.

Ah, ok thanks. I haven't played GGGB yet and didn't know Jess was a character from there. Then I guess my theory of her being Mike's gf is wrong too.

For my taste ORS is just better to play in a slow-burn style. Honestly, I don't see it as a fuckfest game, GGGB did much better with that. So it's better to skip the scenes here and there, but get much more satisfying scenes a little later, both romantic-sexual and career- and friendship-wise.

 

[Satiro]

Some things that i liked of Evakiss were: the quality of her games and the game timing released, every 2 months moreless. But with the revamp and the last update, too many time passed and the timing is broke. This is not good for the followers and for the flow of the game. From my humble opinion, there should be an update this summer.

Depends! Both versions of her are bisexual. And Good Jess´boyfriend is Dave (those who played GGGB will know him. Really good guy and friend), so a lesbian tryst might be possible since Dave was open to that in GGGB, but not more. To be honest, good Jess and Dave make a terrific pair, one of the best in GGGB.
Bad Jess might still be an option for a lesbian affair, but she is quite an abrassive package. Still, generally you are right that which version of Jess we get depends on if Lena sleeps with Robert and/or Mike. If she does, we get bad Jess, if she does not, we see good Jess. At least that was the situation before the rewrite.
Unfortunately it is not possible to get good Jess with bad Jess´outfit here in ORS.

Well atleast lust campus is out what a surprise

I think nothing will happen with Jess, it's just an easter egg. Ivy is the spiritual successor, a mix between bad and good Jess

Nothing will happen? Uhm, you're breaking my heart, you do know that, right?

I see that similar that Jess (whatever version) is an easter egg akin to the Ashley pornshot we can see. And Ivy clearly is modelled on Jess.

According to EvaKiss:
I've been preparing some Jessica content that I've been wanting to add for a long time, but I always had to cut it due to time constraints

I hope any possible Jess content will be only as part of a Ivy path if players are in a sexual relationship with Ivy. Add another solo path at this stage will be overkill.

And I would agree with you, I just like option to pursue introduced earlier to give time for the relationship to blossom. Right now we are limited to Holly and Louise; with Jess, Emma, and Ivy a remote possibility, all skewed towards the end of the game, which also impacts points accumulation and relationships if you forgo any men. Contrast that to Ian with a myriad of early relationships. Now, I realize the absolute logistical nightmare to change this and the clusterfuck of branching and complexity of story it would entail, but I can whine and pine about it.

What I expected: GGGB 2, porn
What I got: hanging out with friends, helping out your bros and achieving your dreams
great vn, 10 out of 10

Right, man? Why do you need a midnless fuckfest when you not only can't, but don't even want to empathize with the characters when you can fuck chicks and then discuss it with friends over a beer while working on a book.

I mean I think it's a nice bonus, but I think the best reason for Lena not to sleep with Mike or Robert is that they're both assholes. YMMV!
