I hope there is gay(m/m) content.
I hope so too, but I don't think there will be... there's not a trace of it in the game.
I'll have to disappoint you: according to the dev there will be no m/m content in the game.
Even if we talk about a trans woman charater, no content will be added?
IIRC there wasn't any talk about a trans character but given how poorly Jasmin from GGGB was received I wouldn't count on one to make appearance in ORS.
It's very sad, personally I feel that this is the right moment to introduce a trans character and (I don't know how badly was received Jasmin) this could be a second chance to try doing better with a different character. Also, she could always be an optional romance route, and no one should be obligated to follow that path if makes them uncomfortable.
I'm not sure if you’re in touch with the developer, but it would be very kind of you to ask her directly about the possibility of introducing a trans character into ORS. This isn’t a demand, nor am I trying to pressure you into anything, but I’d really appreciate it if you could do this for me.
Hello, I am new on itch.io, so not sure how it works. If I happen to purchase this game in development, do I need to pay for upcoming chapters?
that has been the case so far but expect some delays, i purchased the game while here it was as chapter 9 which got update to 11 after 11 fully released, now waiting for chapter 12 as it has been launched a while back but no update here yet
Thank you for your reply. How much did you pay per new chapter?
nothing extra, think i got the game while it was on a 20% off, can't remember exactly as it has been a close to 2 years since then
No. Paying once should be sufficient.
Been nearly a year since the last update though. The creator hardly prioritizes this platform.
I forgot how good the music is in this game. I know most of it is just generic royalty free music, but some of this must be original stuff, at least the credits told so... I absolutely love Lena's songs "Broken Dreams" and "Shine Again" which both can be heard in Ch.8 during the concert at the cafe. Wish I could have them outside the game, but I couldn't find it. Is there any way to get them?
Those songs were made specifically for the game and unfortunately you can only get Shine Again through the Patreon as Eva have posted this piece for fans to be able to download it. For others, you will have to decompile the gamefiles to extract them.
Is there any info on the chord sequence in "Broken Dreams"? Tried to play by ear, but what I got doesn't sound right.
Nope, never heard anything about it.
Gave it another go, got smth like Am - C7 - Em - G7. Still doesn't sound right, especially the 4th chord, but I dunno what exactly is wrong.
it's a very good visual novel, I recommend
The amount of possible paths makes it one of the best games, the scenes are incredible and overall it's a 10/10.
The only bad thing is having 2 main characters, Ian is totally unnecessary. A lot of content for a character so uninteresting and uncharismatic. Focusing on one character is the best, that's why Good Girl Gone Bad is such a good game.
I agree i dont really care about Ian I just speed run through all of his stuff
Are there any animations? I would like to know before I purchase it. Thanks in advance!
There's not. The best you'd get is maybe 2 frames cycling? Maybe? But it's all still images.
Are these characters 2D or 3D? And how did you animate them?
This game is 2D. It is being drawn by hand, not rendered by CPU/ graphics card.
Shame that getting full chapter updates here is almost impossible. I understand slow dripping content for people who don't pay for the patreon, but to hold full releases for a literal year after release is crazy.
i dont think this guys care about people who actually paid for the game here, i mean, yeah, patreon put more money, but i bought the game, why i shouldn’t have the same right as them to play the last patches or even have news about what i already paid for? I never saw a game on early access doing this to people who actually put money to make the project a reality i just feel like they are looking down at us or something. And the chapter finished a week ago and no news yet. See what i mean? We are like lefts zeros
A game on itch being updated much more rarely than on patreon isn't uncommon. I think I've seen cases where itch version was only a half of patreon's build or even less, so this case isn't that bad. Also, according to dev log, last update had both chapter 10 and 11, so it might be possible that it will be the same with the next one (12 and 13, maybe more). Would've been nice to have some info about Eva's plans for itch version of the game, though.
Hi!
I love the game and was wondering when Chapter 12 will be available here on itch.io?
It is supposed to be released here when 12.3 Final will hit Patreon (which didn't happen yet).
Ok, thanks a lot!
one of the best avns out there. i love the concept that Ian and lena can be friends with benefits (in an open relationship) and both can pursue other woman! Hoping for more lesbian and mff/mfff scenes. Keep up the good work eva kiss!
Will there be any b/g ivy scenes soon?
At Patreon this game just reached chapter 12.3 (alpha release). Not sure how long Ewa is going to wait before she releases chapter 12 on itch.
I bought this 213 days ago and it's still on chapter 11 just like the day I got it. I want to support the people who are creating the games but it's been a road to nowhere every time I do. I realize there's no guarantee of content beyond the purchase but why would I do Patreon when I get nothing else here.
hii i was wondering if i can romance or uhh get freaky with Wade?
Up to the beginning of ch.12 no. After that I don't know since I don't have latest Patreon version (12.3 beta)
hmmm okay thanksss
This. Is. Awesome! Thanks for the game, the plot worked just great for me!
[spoiler alert]
So I finished the first game Good Girl some time ago, and I had an ending where Jessica and Ashley are girlfriends, Jess became a 'decent' girl and they started to live together. (Yeah, I've played "good girl gone bad" the wrong way, obviously)
Then I started Our Red String and recently met Jessica in it - she was still decent artist girl in the same clothes as in the ending, and she said she has a girlfriend and they're planning to get married! I don't know is it just my luck, a coincidence or a strike of choices, but it's brilliant! I even thought that the game uses imported saves at first.)
I also really liked that weed trance where you need to interact with rollback system - the best fourth wall breaking I've seen!
So, I have just one question: how many chapters are planned in total till the end? I think I became addicted ;P
ORS doesn't import saves from GGGB, Lena's actions will influence Jess appearance in ORS.
The game is supposed to have between 16 and 20 chapters (maybe even more but I wouldn't count on that).
Hi. I love both games, good girl, gone bad; and this one. But I found a big bug in chapter 11 I can't get the scenes when Lena goes bartender, however those scenes are available at galery. After Lena goes shopping with Emma, the scene jumps back from Friday July 4th week to saturday July week 1st. How can I get the correction?
Very good games; congratulations Eva!
Wait, is an unfinished game? For money?
The game is being released in chapters primarily on Patreon. Here you can have almost recent version for far less money.
Ah its an old comment I.........GOT THE GAME XD its awsome. I just didn't want to buy a demo because iam heck of impatient xD but it was on sale sooo ><
hi, I bought this game on here but I’m interested in playing chapter 12 and getting it from Patreon. Will my progress be saved? Or is that a whole new thing? Thank you
Yes, you will be able to continue your game without a problem.
(light spoiler)
im glad that Jessica made an appearance cause my ending for her in Good Girl Gone Bad was sad to see, so the canon version of her is great lol
turns out that version of Jessica was actually present in the game but I lucked out on my choices lol I love the depth in this game well done Eva
There are two versions of Jess present in the game. Which one you'll see depends on your (Lena's) choices.
hy Dev, so do we as player have full control over both MC's choices? Like if I want the male mc to have all the girl's & female MC only for Male MC. Is it possible?
Also Male MC with female MC & girls in group S€X (No other male)?.
Some choices are mutually exclusive. Also this isn't your typical harem game.
For example???
Well, you can't have Lena and Holly at the same time (well, you can but to the moment when Lena finds out that you banged Holly...). The same is with other girls. At some point you'll need to decide.
Hi. No 12.2 on itch to download? Just in Patreon?
Not yet...
It will be released here when the chapter is fully polished and completed!
The game is amazing, but it's unfinished like dozens of other amazing adult VN games. If you're only interested in adult content, this game is great, but if you're interested in seeing where your decisions take you in the novel, forget it. Wait a few years for this game to be done; to make matters worse, the game somehow feels abandoned. The story is very engaging, and getting to a certain point and being told "to be continued" sucks...
The game is not abandoned. Here is the link to the latest (from yesterday - 17.04.2024) progress report
I said "feels abandoned" because the progress is quite slow. I follow Eva Kiss's posts on Patreon.
Can you tell me if there is any information from the developers on the update?
Here is the latest progress report from Patreon.
hi does anyone know how to not get ivy to sleep with mike in chapter 11
AFAIK Ivy will always fuck Mike.
I’m stuck in the mall with Emma. My only choice is “Buy outfits”, but I already own them all. When I choose leave, the only choice I get is buy outfits.
I just ran into this same bug. Does anyone know who to get past it?
I went back into a different save, skipped Emma, and now I can't get the customers to show up at blazers.
Is there implied cheating here?
More than implied
You could even say it's the core mechanic of the game 😂
girl the fucking "look at me" then the pirate dude "i am the capt now" lol omfg. i was so not prepared.
Love this game! When will the chapter 12 content be released on itch.io?
Chapter 12 needs to be completed yet! First part is on Patreon, after the second part is released there, the polished version will be published here some time later.
How many chapters are there planned to be? I am looking forward to the completed game!
According to last Q&A, the game is supposed to have between 16 to 20 chapters.
This game together with Good Girl Gone Bad (too bad this ended) are 2 of my top 5 tier favourite games. The plot behind is very well written, plenty of excitement and anticipation, graphics are good and can't wait to play the next few chapters. Keep going Eva...
Fully agree! Do you mind sharing the names of your other favourite games? Its hard to find quality..
I currently have around 80 games now which I am waiting on their updates but the most recent one I have played and think it's worth it is Game of Hearts. Others include Isabella, Darker, Project Myriam, Mirror Mine, Pandora's Box, Sluted,. Each one has their charms but some really draw you in. Best wishes..
Goodbye Eternity is my top 1 in graphics with the best visual I found here and if you like following some story content Out of Touch and Eternum are the best VN on here (Less choices and kinks though but the story is +++)
You should also check out Her Desire and A Wife and Mother (if female protag is your thing). AWAM is very slow on updates, but what's been released thus far is excellent. Her Desire just had an update and is an excellent addition to the AVN genre
Reading the comments... Are chapter 10 and 11 added into the game yet or not?
Yes, the game files here has been updated and contain both chapters.
ooo ok thanks for the update
No problem! Have a good time with it and...Merry Christmas!
Thanks, merry Christmas to you as well!!
Got on to play the new chapters but it ends after chapter 9, tried starting a fresh save and still didnt, am i missing something? the game is updated
@eva-kiss You are my new FAVORITE creator!
You must be so diligent. I would really like to learn from you, maybe even work with you, although I'm sure you'd be uninterested.
If I am wrong, some of my artwork can be found here: https://actiquest.newgrounds.com/
I totally get working alone and wanting to control what you put out. I'm the same way, but I believe people can still help each other to go farther. I noticed a definite improvement in your artwork between good girl gone bad to this game.
When are you going to release chapters 10 and 11 here?
It's kinda farcical at this point. It probably won't happen.
wondering if in the future you can bring the ending you had from good girl gone bad transferred over for Jessicas story cuz in my ending Ashley had the good ending romance with Jessica
In ORS it is possible to meet Jess that is still with Ash. :)
Wow I am blown away by this game, it is so amazing- keep up the good work on the game!
Damn no update yet
patrón says chapter 11 full release yet we only have 9, Fuck!!!
Way to ruin the game with the ex in chapter 10 and the cuck shit that followed
You know that in the game everything is avoidable, right?
Damn, you made me think chapter 10 had actually been released on Itch for a moment there.
