intertwine
❝ would you choose me... ❞
i’ve heard it said that love is a thread
woven through destiny. to experience
an inescapable pull—a free fall
into sun-dappled bedsheets,
intertwined caresses,
gossamer whispers.
i’ve heard it said that love is a tapestry
woven from memories. experiences of
a quiet comfort—a haven
of sun-soaked bedsheets,
interlaced caresses,
silken whispers.
i’ve experienced that love:
sun-dappled bedsheets into sun-soaked,
intertwined caresses into interlaced,
gossamer whispers into silken.
what i would do to experience that love
with you again—to follow this string
into the next life, with you by my side.
if i did,
would you come with me?
❝ ...in every lifetime? ❞
A recurring dream. A flash of deja vu. An undeniable connection. Some say these are remnants of our past lives—echoes of the memories we’ve made in centuries past. When I ran into you on that fateful day…
I started to believe them.

I played this game for a stream earlier today and I am absolutely in love with the concept and how it went about the story. The music for the game was beautiful, the art was beyond gorgeous, and I was head over heels for the plot. If possible I would love a continuation or another part to this- I loved it so much that I desperately wanted more to play. Bravo <3
Seriously, it's a wonderful game, I can't describe everything I felt, there were so many mixed emotions, normally I don't get too involved in the plot of games, however this one made me do it,It made me feel in so many different ways that no game had ever managed. It was without a doubt the best game I've played so far, I even cried in some scenes Lol
It's a very interesting game, with a unique story. The same backgrounds over and over again can get a bit boring though, and the game could use a bit more work on the production side of things. And I can't change to any songs in the "Music Room" without an error showing and I end up having to reload the entire page. Other than that, the game is very enjoyable, good job. : )
Если кто-нибудь русскоязычный это читает: там такой сложный английский, скажите пж шо я не одна такая нифига не понимаю!!!!
Надеюсь что когда-нибудь кто-нибудь переведёт е
I cannot begin to describe how lovely this game is. The music, story and voice acting is phenomenal. It's a bit of a short play but I felt so entranced by the story and characters. The concept of the red string and past lives and just everything is so beautifully done. I'm already adding the bg music to my Spotify playlist it's SO GOOD.
so pretty game
SUCH A PRETTY GAMEE
I LOVE it. Really is just my opinion but I am obsessed with the story is portrayed. The story is nice and cute. 10/10. <3
This was a nice game with decent art!
This was such a lovely game, it made me want to cry but I've also brought me so much joy!!! the art was beautiful and the voice acting was very good as well, everything tied in together made for an amazing game. Also the line 'for your touch, I'll always be yours" it's one of the most romantic lines i've ever read!!! i'm sure i'll play again! <3
Pleaaaase make it suitable for mobile platforms I’m dying to play it 💔 </3
This was such a lovely game. It had a mix of my favourite tropes. My personal favourite pic from the gallery is the one office scene where he covers his face. I've never really been the type for VN games, but this one made me stick through. Though, it was mostly me making fun of the cliche things.
This game got me simping for a fictional character. 10/10 Love this
edit: forgot the s in this lol
The emotions I feel right now are unfair.
Is it just me or does van have a tattoo of Ursa Major (Big Dipper) on his arm?
AAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, IT'S SO SWEET
Hey, I’m on mobile and I’m having trouble with the “enter your name” part, no keyboard will pop up- any help? :)
hi! unfortunately this game wasn't made for or tested on mobile so i wouldn't know how to get past that part ;( i can only recommend playing it on browser on a computer or laptop. very sorry!
Probably one of my favorite VNs, it reminded me of this other VN called Our Life, how every time I replayed it, it felt like I was fated to fall in love with the main lead every time.
Absolutly obbsesed with this game! Really cute and currntly looking for more from this creater.
So, I loved the game! But I was wondering, do you guys plan on making a dlc or something?? Because I need more of this!!! kwsncsbfcgfcsk
hi!!! THANK U FOR LIKING <3 we don't have plans for dlc--the extended version was already more content than we had originally intended to include. so flattered u would be interested but i currently have my plates full with other projects and have expanded the intertwine universe as much as i think i'm able to :')
when it asks for my name I can’t type it :( so I couldn't move on.
hi! if you're playing on mobile, that's just a limitation to playing on mobile, unfortunately. i didnt built or test the game for mobile play, so i'm not sure what the workaround would be. i can only suggest playing on browser through a laptop or computer! very sorry <\3
beautiful
How much ed do they have?!! It ended quick!
there’s only one ending, but if you didn’t unlock all the CGs, you didn’t finish the game! there should be an animation on the main menu once you see the meteor shower scene that hints to you how to continue the game :)
*bows* Thanks for the info I'll surly love the game Tho, Thank you again
adorable game, love the music
Would you ever consider putting Van on c.ai? 🤔
hmu when you're done lol
Alr definitely^^
For me too maybe hahaha. I loved your game hehe
oh my god, this has to be one of my favorite visual novel games yet!!! the va, visuals & music, the plot - everything tied up so well!! i love the sense of deja vu & connections we see through each life. please make more <33 mwah!
more please
I am obsessed with this game! I was blushing the whole time and the voice acting is incredible! Thank you creator and everyone who worked hard for this amazing game!
the music, art style, and va is *mwaah* chefs kiss. Would love to get more backstory of van and mc. like what happened to them in the past and why they got separated.
overall great experience.. so beautiful! <3
the only canon information on them is from the flashbacks dropped throughout the four lives, otherwise, i leave the rest of their prison life up to players to headcanon! ^^
FOUR?! THERE ARE FOUR LIVES?!
voice acting was superb omg. 2nd life was my fave. writing for the banter and convo was superb as well. i love the songs and music. thank you for sharing this game with us <3
also, this game reminds me of "make me happy" by wheein
this was perfect, i loved this game sm, definitely top 3 favorite games ever
made me sob 10/10
I played the whole game in the afternoon and I loved it! The art is really pretty, the VA was a nice plus and the 'Red String of Fate' song made me fall in love even more.
Overall, such a nice game to play on a week-end!
I don't know if you've ever considered translating your game, but I'm a small indie French translator and would love to translate this cute game :)
hi! i've never considered translating it, but if anyone decides they want to translate it, i leave it up to fans to do it if they want :)
Hi I really like this game thank you for making it ^^ I'm just wondering is this the full game or is it still in the works?
Thank you for enjoying! The full game just includes the four lives shown in this version of the game, and I don't currently have any plans of adding more content, sorry! Hope you enjoy this version anyways <3
I finally got a chance to stream this and im so sad i didn't play this sooner it was so good! I absolutely loved the concept you went with, you all did a great job on this!
literally only thing i would mention is during some parts when Van is speaking the music just slightly overpowers his voice but i suppose that can also just be adjusted in the settings.
is the song on spotify?! I really want to add it to my playlist <33
it's not on spotify right now, but it is on youtube if you'd like to send faefield some love <3
This is boys love??
hi! i wouldn't define this as BL in the way most stories are written in the BL genre since it doesn't have an established male protagonist or specifically depict a gay romance. but the MC's pronouns are customizable so of course the game is open to players of all genders and van can be romanced by players of all genders!
This game was so sweet omfg i love ittttt
I love this!! The dialogue just keeps cutting out on the left side, so I couldn’t understand all of the dialogue. Otherwise, this was amazing!
