VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.2] [Eva Kiss]

[Xupuzulla]

FACTS. Whenever I checked for new update on games, I would notice ORS regularly in recently updated games and think to myself,'damn, this game does have very frequent updates'. Only if I knew at that time what the future holds . I decided to give ORS a try, and it was great. Blew me away totally, since I started playing it when it was developed till the beach prologue, there was sooo much content for me already. Fast-forward to now, where I have been waiting half a year for Ian POV.

EK baited you hard,thats awful

Due to its lenght and complexity, the game may have relatively low NTR content, as cheating and getting cheated on are just some of many paths (you can also play it entirely vanilla and shut the rivals off immediatly) but a few NTR paths are available and can impact both main characters (a man and a woman). There is one typical ntr plotline with the classical cuck beta boyfriend and the girlfriend getting taken by the alpha bull (and even that has variations).

I'd recommend it unless you are a hardcore ntr fan who wants the game exclusively build around it. The game has NTR, but its not a NTR game.

So you're saying that the vanilla path has more content than the NTR path? That's not a big deal, I won't play the vanilla path anyway. I guess the question is more if you play the NTR path does that path on its own have enough content ( a few hours would be good) and is it good quality?

Also is it consensual or not? Because if it is consensual then it's cuckolding and I'm not into that

The game is long in general, so each of the countless paths take long enough. The game is only on chapter 12 though and planned are 16-20 chapters, so beware that it doesn't have endings, yet.

The standard NTR path is well regarded, the scenes with the bull are considered one of the better ones in terms of art and in particular how it messes up the heroine.

It can be consensual and the boyfriend can become a cuck, but it doesn't has to. Another variant is that the girlfriend never allows the boyfriend to have vaginal sex with her (while she can potentially fuck a couple of guys), but thats going indepth and the game encourages exploring on your own, because it is freaky complex.

I see, I'll give it a shot then. Thanks!

Has anyone been playing this on ubuntu? The 12.3 updates are such that I get "permission denied" when trying to run the executable. This is after trying "chmod u+x" on it. I did not have this problem with 12.2. Does anyone have a fix? Thank you.

Not only that but how many guys are available in the game, it seems only Ian will be a choice for a true romantic relationship in the end, other guys could only be a hookup which would be a downer.

For what's worth Lena has love-marked options also for Mike, Axel, Seymour, Jeremy, Jack and even Robert ( :hidethepain: )

It's not that bad for me, though. I like how things are going in-game, and I can wait for ORS while playing other games. Sometimes I feel the people who complain the most here are the biggest fans and have nothing else to play but ORS.
I have done Art both traditional and 3d and I understand the effort that goes into the traditional style art forms. Also, I think EK is like me, a person who cannot do just one thing for long(and hence, "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."). So she switches between writing, coding and drawing. And she might not be the best at either of those , but she still does a good job.
Also, not everyone is Dr.PinkCake.

Hi! I'm looking for a new NTR game to play, this one has the NTR tag but can someone that played everything tell me without too much spoilers how much NTR content there is in this game?

There is a decent and good amount of tease and denial style NTR. Not hardcore yet. You can go through that route most easily by keeping Ian sexless and making Lena a slut while still dating Ian, and go through the play through with a Cuck mindset, and you shall find your way.

PilotLara There seems to be a new bug in chapter 11 since the 12.3 alpha update. For some odd reason, the lena_go_holly variable tends to go down to 3 if it was at 5 after Holly kisses Lena in chapter 11 effectively putting Lena and Holly on the non-romantic path. In this playthrough, it is an Ivy dominant corrupted Holly so I'm guessing it's somehow related to that.

Here is a save just before the incident.

Yes, having Ivy involved with Holly switches off trinity route:

    l "Thank you so much, Holly. I really value your opinion. You're a great ally to have!"
    h "I'm so glad you trust me enough to make me part of your creative process..."
//...
    elif v8_holly_sex == "ivy" or v8_holly_sex == "lenaivy":
        if lena_go_holly > 3:
            $ lena_go_holly = 3

There's secondary check for it in Ch.12 to make sure it's dead, too:

    if holly_ivy and lena_go_holly > 3:
        $ lena_go_holly = 3

So that's working as intended, not a bug.

Does anyone know how many specific routes there are?

I have many disagreements with this matrix, but anyway.

In this playthrough though Ian broke up with Lena for Cindy. I wasn't going for the Trinity path. Is it still working as intended?

edit: I just loaded an older save of the playthrough to not let Holly sleep with Ivy and yeah. I think it's working as intended.

edit: Interesting thing though. Holly still comes to seduce Ian at night if the conditions are met. Even when Lena decides that she want's to enter a dedicated relationship with Holly. Maybe it could be that her slut variable (Lena dominant) overrides that . Or Lena and Holly never got to have the talk... edit: hmm does this mean we can intentionally sabotage Lena's relationship with Holly? Sorry Lena but it seems you are getting added to the cuck list

Make sure to also set the executable flag for the 'OurRedString' executable inside the 'lib/py3-linux-x86_64/' folder.

I doubt that the political view has much to do with your view on porn and sex.

Right, left, liberal, radical, they all like to fuck.

Same applies to asexuals. You can find those on every side of the political spectrum.

Specially when we are not talking about actual sex, this is just fiction. A man or a woman can fantasize about being dominated without any correlation to their IRL bedroom behaviour, much less to their general behaviour, socioeconomic status or political beliefs. It would be like saying that if you are in a relationship and masturbate to porn imagining yourself fucking the girl, you are a cheater.

Yeah, i got the exact same issue on Mint (based on Ubuntu). Dualbooting into windows and unzipping the same zip-file there fixed the issue. That unzipped game ran perfectly on both windows and linux, so I assume the problem is zip-related somehow and that the permissions warning is incorrect, but I dont have a fix beyond that (except dual booting if thats an option for you)

Thank you both for your replies!
Emoon: I did not know there was a second executable that gets invoked by the first one. I followed your advice and it fixed the problem! Thank you so much!
Thank you, intressemannen! Now we can run the game without visiting windows and having a shared directory.

This sounds like oversight at some point, since if i understand things right, Holly getting involved with Ivy should switch off Lena/Holly romance path (similar to how Lena getting involved with Jeremy disables Lena/Ian getting more serious than just FWB. Although it's more complicated because Holly can get into Lena/Ivy threesome while already dating Lena, effectively giving Lena a "cuck path") When you say, "Even when Lena decides that she want's to enter a dedicated relationship with Holly" which specific decision point do you referer to?

Funny thing is, when Ian, Holly and Lena go for a stroll at night time on the beach, Ian senses the romantic tension between the two girls and decides to give them some time alone. Which is why I was gob smacked when minutes later Holly was jumping him in his room.

oooh, I haven't played a lez focused game, there's a possible cuckquean route?!!

Yeah, the 'OurRedString.sh' in the root folder is basically just a launcher of sorts. The true executable for linux is always located in the 'lib/py3-linux-x86_64' (Python3.x) or the 'lib/linux-x86_64' (Python2.x) folder, no matter which renpy game you load up.
