Our Red String Chapter 7 ALPHA release!
Added 2021-02-21 17:26:42 +0000 UTCIt's finally here! Chapter 7: Heavenly Sins is finished. This has probably been the most challenging update I've pushed out so far, and it took me longer than I anticipated, but I think it'll be worth it. Thank you so much for your patience and support, and I hope you really enjoy this one!
This update is packed with the most amount of content I've ever crammed in a single episode, it has 80+ full-screen, full-color illustrations, 20.000+ lines of narrative code and sex scenes with over 10 characters. Be mindful, to see all possible events you'll have to go over the chapter at least two separate times, and a lot of what will happen is dependant on your previous choices.
Did you Lena tell Louise about Jeremy's games, causing them to break up, or are they still together? Did Lena sleep with Robert or rejected him right away? What's Ian relationship to Emma, Alison, and the other female cast? Try different choices to discover wildly different scenes.
I'll publish a list of scenes further down the line, but for now you can join on the live discussion on our Discord Channel to ask your questions and comment your thoughts and opinions. I'll be there during the next hours personally responding and hearing you out!
And as always, I'll be thankful if you write down on the comments any weird bugs you might find, and also I want to read your feelings about this new update!
I hope you enjoy it!

Yeah that was Lena’s interaction with her at the record store. I meant Ian’s actually, I’m sorry didn’t specify that earlier.

2021-02-22 22:05:21 +0000 UTCLoved the update! I think it is setting up so many interesting storylines with characters. I would love more Mike and Jeremy scenes in the future!

2021-02-22 19:01:07 +0000 UTCDon't know exactly what you mean. Try extracting the full game in a new folder, you can delete the older one, don't worry about the savegames as Renpy places them elsewhere.

2021-02-22 18:58:17 +0000 UTCI have some problems to involve the new data in the old version of the game. Can someone help me please?

2021-02-22 18:05:30 +0000 UTCYeah, it looks like in many routes there is too much money and not enough money sinks at the moment: one of my Lenas went in a shopping spree (all 3 outfits plus the sex toys, that's 2 months rent for her) in this chapter, and still could send money to her parents again without ending the chapter completely broke... It's true there are also some routes (for example for Lena: losing the restaurant job, not having the stalkfap income and not going to Seymour gig) where money is tighter, but you almost have to "aim" for it and in general I would say both Ian's and Lena's financial situations are not as bad as the game implies from time to time, and hence the impression economics doesn't play a real role gameplay wise. I get it can be frustrating for some players to not be able to have the desired outfit or missing some content just because of money, and maybe Eva is trying to avoid that, but personally I'd be fine with having a more challenging experience regarding that issue.

2021-02-21 19:36:57 +0000 UTCLots of different variations depending on previous choices, so it feels like the splintering nature of the game is starting to make itself known. That also means that it feels much more natural to play the game from start to (the current) finish, since jumping from one save to another somewhat makes everything blend together. I mentioned it a while back, but for me splitting the game into two parts does sound quite appealing when I consider how long the story will be when all is said and done. I think that the images in this update are the best so far, and there are several plot elements that were introduced here that makes me look forward to what you write next. If I had to be negative I'd say that the money mechanic so far seems a bit lacking in implementation. I haven't really held back in spending nor tried my best to save every penny, but I haven't seen any major differences so far... Unless those choices will come into effect even later.
