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.

OMG I love this game I wish he was real I love him 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
SOULMATES?? SIGN ME TF UP!!
I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I found the way it handled the concepts of fate and soulmates to be very beautiful!
"Do you think we're soulmates in every universe?"
Love it such a lovely game BRAVO
i really loved this but i would love more to it
A dream-like love, how I yearn for it so very much~! (★ᴗ★)
Btw, there's a very small bug, where our chosen avatar wasn't applied during next extended.
This was beautiful, the voice acting was charming, the art made me swoon! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful game!
I found myself bawling at the end wHHYY it's so perfect my heart >.<
I feel in love, and I'm crying at how sweet this is. It just fed my hopeless romantic and lover's heart. The art, music, and voice acting are just so lovely; they match so well. The paintings... I genuinely felt drawn to them. This really makes my heart feel so light.
this game is GORGEOUS, the UI is beautiful and clean, love the soundscapes, VA really put the work in on bringing Van to life and, because i didnt see any recent comments talking about it: thank you for wormiverse easter egg, you guys have a brilliant mind ;)
a treat for hopeless romantics like me!
So wholesome game <3
omg this was a whole ride and i loved every second of it <33
AAAA THIS IS SO CUTE!! thank you developer for blessing me with this beautiful game! i was giggling like a fool the whole time adhfd is the song that plays on the tite screen ever going to be put on spotify? its so good!!
first ever visual novel to make me ugly cry. I'M TELLING MY THERAPIST ABOUT YOU
planning on playing!
Good
im... beyond speechless. this is the first game ive felt THIS much emotions with. its very obvious to see that this game was worked on with so much effort and love. the writing and whole concept is amazing. i love how you get to play and meet him again in every lifetime. this game made me more interested in the concept of red strings, soulmates, and reincarnation. i cant really explain well how this game really gets to me. the ost is amazing as well! i love hearing it whenever i go back to the main menu :) such an amazing and well-made game. i loved every second of this. so good <3 kudos to the creators! crescence studio you made this so well <33
(p.s: loved how you even included the "id love you even if you were a worm" timeline! HAHA the love this man holds for his darling truly transcends lifetimes.)
do you have to download the game to get the full experience??
u shouldn't have to---if u feel like ur stuck on the game, there is an animation when u return to the title screen that clues you in on what to press to continue the story !
what to press???
the string icon in the middle of the intertwine logo should pulse on the main menu once you finish your first playthrough! if you click that, you'll be able to continue the story :)
thank u so much...now i can finish teehee
oh.my.god. (INNN the absolute best way possible)
so sweet! huge fan of red string of fate and past lives so i knew i would like this right from the start :] also very pleasant soundtrack
that was nice :)
are these songs on spotify?
some of them are on spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/6k84CcapPtoHM8dz5U6VKH?si=TVc4sTcoQ3aTIkQrKH7KuA
some of the newer tracks like red string of fate are on youtube!
pleasant little game, Van is nice :)
Now whenever I will listen to "You are my sunshine" by Christina Perri I will think of this game every single time which will make me cry every single time. THIS GAME IS ONE OF THE FEW GAMES THAT ACTUALLY MADE ME CRY LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND I ACTUALLY FELT EVERY SINGLE EMOTION THE GAME DESCRIBED 😭
Me too! 😭
One question: Why is this man so goddamn adorable?
That one question is a very good one that may never need to be answered. Let the man be adorable :)
Such a sweet little game!
This game made me cry so many times, And I feel so empty now that I’ve finished it, I was crying like I was the one getting married 😭. The writing and story just makes it a ride of emotions.
AHHHH i absolutely loved this game <33
Absolutely love this game!! As a Chinese, I'm familiar with the concept of red string and past lives 红线 轮回转世etc. It's glad to see someone involved these concepts in a game!
怎么改成中文
I just wanted to say: thank you, for the bottom of my heart, for this game. You guys deserve so much! It's utterly beautiful, and I'm so grateful for the feelings and experiences this sweet game gave me. It warmed my heart. Even the worm touch haha. Thank you, truly. And thank you for Van.
It was an amazing and incredible experience, I really loved each detail.
literally sobbed uncontrollably for the last hour and a half of gameplay. this game both warmed and wrecked my heart. i was NOT expecting the emotional rollercoaster this subjected me to!!! the idea was so good and the execution was heartbreakingly sweet - the confusion as you shift between lives, the pervailing sense of both hopeless and hopeful yearning throughout the entire game, the cry-worthy, love-filled gratification at the end, all of the emotions you see and feel as you play could give you whiplash and yet it's so fitting for the concept. i could yap on and on for HOURS about this game and its writing im being so fr
this game was so beautiful!! ahhhh i love it sm probably one of my favourites
