Chapter 15.2 Status Report (2)

Enjoying the game so far, but there are a couple of gaps i’ve run into. The biggest is Lena-Holly at the beach, when Ian leaves it just ends for Lena, then the story jumps over to the next time they go out, which is a pretty big miss for that path. The Ian/Lena/Holly Throuple scene is great at the beach, so it doesn’t make sense of there’s no “moonlight cove” scene if Lena and Holly are there. As good as the throuple works, Lena Holly seems to make more sense, with Ian seemingly better suited to Emma, especially since he really drags his feet early on with Holly, and Lena doesn’t.

I really enjoyed the game and ended up buying it on Steam. One feature I'd absolutely love to see added is the ability to share or display the choices you make in the game with your Steam friends, similar to how it works in Detroit: Become Human and Telltale games. I think it would be a really fun addition, especially for comparing decisions and seeing how differently your friends approached the story. It would also be a great incentive to gift the game to friends, since being able to compare each other's choices would make playing it alongside friends even more engaging.

Feedback on the Lena Cheating Path: Narrative Disconnect & Missed Emotional Stakes As a player who has spent hours thoroughly exploring the various narrative branches of Our Red String, I wanted to share a critical breakdown of my experience with the Lena Cheating Path (specifically the v16 breakup arc). While providing Ian the choice to walk away following Lena's betrayal is the correct structural decision, the narrative fallout fails to deliver realistic emotional consequences. Even for a player accepting of her promiscuity, the total absence of genuine guilt or self-reflection after betraying someone she claims to love breaks character consistency. To break down why this specific path feels so disappointing: Hypocrisy & Unaddressed Trauma: Lena’s choice to cheat on Ian directly mirrors the exact betrayal she suffered at the hands of Mark. The narrative completely glosses over this monumental irony. Instead of being overwhelmed by the agonizing realization that she has become her own antithesis—no better than the man she despises—she exhibits no true self-hate or internal reckoning. Absence of Consequences: Rather than treating the betrayal with the emotional gravity, social fallout, or lasting psychological weight it demands, the writing frames it as a casual pivot toward an uninhibited lifestyle. It portrays her not just as broken-minded, but as fundamentally incapable of understanding love, making the outcome feel less like a complex dramatic choice and more like a hollow narrative reward for an unearned betrayal. Mechanical & Structural Bias: From a player perspective, the underlying game variables feel heavily weighted toward Lena’s independent agency at the expense of mutual commitment. Even when striving for player loyalty with Ian, the system continuously funnels the story toward her independent progression, offering no justifiable path for a truly faithful playstyle. After investing so much time into these characters, seeing a major betrayal resolved without genuine accountability or emotional catharsis leaves a sour taste. A character with Lena's backstory should be crushed by the weight of repeating her own trauma cycle; ignoring that moment of realization cheapens the story's overall impact.

It would be nice to see some content featuring a fight with Jeremy or Axel.

Idk about everyone else but I'd love to see more of Lena and Stan. That dynamic is just so interesting

I would love to see more Stan action.

Looking forward to Ian and Alison moving in together.

Hi, I've been playing your games for years and I love the stories you've written. I was wondering if it would be possible to add the Spanish language to the first game you made and to this one when it's ready.

You definetely should include a gloryhole story somewhere

Hey Eva i have a questions? will there be more different kind of piercings and tatoos. maybe even possible to do implants? Like Ivy have got,and more.. im at chapter 10 so im still not sure if this is already implementet.

Fingers crossed 🤞 for more Minerva!!!

Tbh no complaints on my part I really enjoyed the story and plots and I can't wait for the next to come. Definitely ready to kick ass in the MMA tourney!

Amazing work on this game, truly. I'm compelled to say that Lena's cuck-teasing of Ian, with Wade proposed for a potential threesome and Perry slathering her in sunscreen, was a very, very nice touch. I REALLY hope you expand on this cuck path before you wrap up the game!! There is so much potential there, and I've been looking forward to Lena messing with Ian's friendships beyond Jeremy. Thanks for all of your work!

Honestly I really love that game. Can't wait for the next update. Thought would be cool if some little QoL : - in the phone : updating the budget menu based on the what really happen, sometime it does, and sometime it doesn't (like lena choosing to pay more stan for the rent) - in the phone : the relationship icons sometimes doesn't math what happen. Like I did the throuple with ian-holly-lena, with ian going out with holly then adding lena in it after ian broke up with lena. Thought Ian still have a broken heart symbol with lena, while lena still have a friend symbol with holly and a broken heart with ian. Same with the couple symbol (the double ring) would be nice to appear instead of a heart once the 2 partners made it official. - in the save menu would be cool if a personnalized save name is kept when loading a save even after restarting the game.

Grandes expectativas

I’m really looking forward to the MMA tournament. I can’t wait to step into the cage as Ian and crush the competition, especially after all the buildup around his training and confidence. At the same time, I’ve heard that there hasn’t been much faithful Ian and Lena content in the recent updates, and honestly, that worries me a little. I really hope the game isn’t moving away from the Ian and Lena focus that made so many of the earlier chapters special to me. Their faithful route has always been my favorite part of the game. I love their conversations, the quiet moments they spend together, and of course their intimate scenes. As Lena herself said, it was probably the best sex of her life. But even more important to me is the emotional bond between them and the way their dialogue shows how deeply they affect each other. Lines such as “I had learned a different way of being loved is possible,” “I wish I could stay in this limbo forever,” and Lena saying that Ian is the only person keeping her standing are genuinely beautiful. Those moments made their relationship feel realistic, vulnerable, and emotionally meaningful. I really hope we continue getting romantic dialogue of the same quality. I understand that the other paths may also be varied and very well written, but the corruption, cheating, and cuckold routes simply aren’t for me, so I won’t be playing those versions of Lena’s story. Ian’s adventures with the other women are still exciting to follow, especially the new characters, and after the recent Ivy scene I’m even more curious about where that relationship will go. Still, loyal Ian and faithful Lena will always be my favorite pairing. I truly hope they eventually receive the happiness and success they have earned together. It also seems that Lena’s path becomes considerably harder when she remains pure and faithful. Her opportunities are more limited, and reaching her goals appears much more difficult. Because of that, it would be especially satisfying to see her finally achieve the success she genuinely deserves without having to compromise herself. I would love to see Lena succeed in her music career, with Ian beside her supporting her while also pursuing his own goals. Watching them overcome their struggles, grow successful, and build a happy life together would be the most rewarding conclusion for their faithful path. Good luck with the remaining development. I’m excited to see the tournament and the climax of Ian’s part!

Just wondering, has Minerva gotten any new scenes since the one on her birthday?

ivy!

Excited for this next part! Hope we can get more scenes with the throuple, it seems that whenever they get together someone has to leave for some reason, so looking forward to more scenes with them. And hope we finally get a scene where Lena meets Allison.

To be honest, the wrestling gym doesn't look very polished

Maybe Ian is gonna fight Mike next! This is gonna be good! Speaking of Mike, would it be possible for him to get a rimjob too? I feel like he can do even better in those hot scenes with Lena! I also like pretty much all his threesome combinations with Mark, Ian, Jeremy. Would be nice to see him in a scenes with Emma, Slut Holly, Ivy and Zarina, as long as Lena is present (or not; if you know what I mean!) I also wanted to say that I'm loving the music in this game and I also enjoy the fights a lot, especially when Ian fights in the street hahaha

Damn that was fast

can’t wait to play from Lena’s perspective, especially the interactions with her ex-boyfriend.

Looking forward to the next update but really keen to playing the last update when it comes to Steam. Do we know when that will be?

Hi Eva, when will steam 15.1 version be released?

♫♩ "You're the best around, nothing's ever gonna keep you down" ♫♩

Hey Eva, looking forward to it, but no rush. We’d love to see your work without constraint :)

Yeah. I hope we see Emma again after the big win in the ring

Thank you for this sneak peek and associated progress update. The background looks nice. Take care!

Hey Eva could you check your dms I’ve got an issue that I could use your help with

Sounds good, looking forward to it!
