Our Red String
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
An erotic visual novel about heartbreak, self-discovery, and curious turns of fate- Lena and Ian are two very different people who find themselves in a very similar moment in their lives. Both are struggling to achieve their dreams and are dealing with the aftermath of a heavy breakup. Their lives will become intertwined, with each other and with several characters that will impact who they are and who they will become.
They will be able to experience the heights of love or the depths of lust… And your choices will impact how their story plays out. However, even choices made with the best of intentions can lead to an unexpected mess, so be mindful as you weave the thread of their Red String.
- DUAL PROTAGONISTS: Alternate between Lena & Ian's viewpoint!
- EVERY CHOICE MATTERS: Branching paths with an emphasis on player freedom!
- KINK FRIENDLY: Walk on the wild side and engage in NTR, BDSM, exhibitionism, and more! The kinks in the full game currently include, but are not limited to, the following:
Oral Sex / Vaginal Sex / Anal Sex / Masturbation / Handjob / Titjob / Sex Toys / Romance / Cheating / Corruption / Teasing / Stripping / Interracial Sex (both ways) / Lesbian Sex / Voyeurism / Exhibitionism / Mild BDSM / And more!

Hey does this game also contain Futa/Trans ?
No it doesn't.
What is the cannon/correct history to play?
Does anyone know if Lena can choose to stop being a model over the course of the game?
hope this goes to steam
AFAIK that's the goal.

talk about timing heh thanks for the notice
Will Our Red String have pregnancy?
i would also like to know this.
I would love to play that
Man, what is it about these games that have all the men silent while the women are moaning up a storm? lol
almost embarrassed to admit how much I liked this game
i keep getting hit by a error page cant proceede
If you got drugs from Emma, then it isn't a bug, it's a feature.
One of the characters gets nipples piercings, would that option, and maybe some others too, also be available to Lena later?
Would Ian ever consider getting some tattos or piercings?
Lena says she might be into exhibitionism, and you have exhibitionism in the kinks list. Will lena be interested in exploring that kink, or is it planned for other characters? Or perhaps both? Or is this limited to that 1 scene in the park?
Is it possible to get both Lena+Ian+Holly and Cindy cheating routs at the same time?
Holly is the biggest cockblock in the game. If you are on any route with her, you won't be able to cheat (at least for now, who knows what future may bring).
Lena have piercing slots in the code. Ian and Holly also have tattoo slots. As of now, they aren't used.
I'd say her StalkFap route is exhibitionist, isn't it?
I really enjoyed Good Girl Gone Bad and I was hoping I'd like this game more. Unfortunately, I think the game is too complex and has resulted in a number of scenarios that don't make sense. Lena's choices in particular don't have enough of an effect on her relationship with Ian. In one play through, she slept with every guy possible except Ian. They were taking it slow. Then she gets mad at him and breaks it off for sleeping with Holly, without ever really acknowledging that she'd done basically the same thing multiple times with multiple guys. I think the game is good, but you have to be quite careful to not get yourself into circumstances that don't make a lot of sense. Lena can end up feeling like a totally different person from one scene to the next if you aren't careful. There are a lot more variables at play and I don't think the developer has been able to account for all of the situations. On the whole the game feels a lot more prescriptive than GGGB. Perhaps these things will change when the game is finished.
A good example of what I mean: In one scene, Ian calls Lena to apologize for having sex with Holly (the only person he'd had sex with the whole game) and she shames him for being a typical guy. In the very next scene, Lena can begin sexting with Jeremy, Ian's friend and Louise's current boyfriend. It just doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Just because she's a bad person doesn't mean it doesn't make sense, it's quite common for someone to exhibit a behaviour constantly and be the most angry when someone else is found to exhibit the same kind of behaviour. Also Lena treats cheating with Holly as more severe than "cheating" with other girls or as her cheating with random guys since Holly is also a good friend of her
So you're saying that Jeremy is a random guy? He's Ian's good friend and Louise's boyfriend...I don't think that really adds up.
i've never gone jeremy route with Lena so i can't compare there. Does Ian not get angry or is there an option? if so i actually agree with you tough i don't think it's that big of a deal
Love your games thank you so much for offering them through this platform and on mobile.
hot girls ♡ louise
wow! what an update! Glory Hole scene was amazing.. more slut Holly please!!
agree! <3 that scene was hot!
great update
any plans on adding a futa for the girl mc or guy mc just wondering
Damn, I was worried itch was forgotten in regards to updates of the game. It goes without saying that I am very happy for this pre-christmas blessing. Can't wait to dive back into the story. Merry christmas fellow players and Eva Kiss.
Hiya , tx for all the beautiful work. Any plan to release a Steam version ? Cheers.
AFAIK there will be a Steam version but no one knows when, not even the dev herself.
Yes! Finally an update!
Do you play as a female MC or male ? or both at the same time ?
both, one week each other
Thanks , will keep an eye on this.
Hi guys! An excerpt from Eva's Patreon report that has been posted few minutes ago (29.11.2024):
(...) I still have to release the polished, full version of v13.1 with additional, small fixes, and an overhauled Gallery thanks to Lara. That's also coming soon, and it will also be released on itch.io, but right now I'm trying to focus on pushing forward development.
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.
Personally I feel like they make up less than 1% of the population and they don't fucking need to be in 100% of games. Keep that crap out of this game. Most people are normal.
I think there is enough characters in the game at this point. Eva is already struggling trying to remember all paths she created. At this point adding new ones would be counterproductive.
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
I like playing as Ian, probably cause i'm a guy i can relate to him much easier
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.
animations are overrated
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.
