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 cant put my name while being on mobile… i was so excited:(
NOT THE WORMm, oh, and the art is superb while the music is enchancing. Sadly the story isn't eternal like their love.
NOT THE WORM STORYLINE (TT^TT) LMAO
This is so beautiful and creative! I love that we get to follow multiple lives!! And each one is so interesting too!!!
This is going in my faves folder for sure <3 Thank you for making such a beautiful and thoughtful game!! <<<333
To everyone like me who was confused as to why the game was so short! It actually is not when we answer the reincarnation question, and we are put to the title screen. The string in the middle turns pink, you need to click on that!!
You have my heartfelt gratitude, kind stranger!
I gotchuuuu
omg you saved me. bless you
dw I gotchu
Can somebody please tell me how to put my name in 🙏😭
you can put your name when the MC is setting their phone, the phone assistant would ask to put your name in it.
It doesn't let me though 💔
yeah…it seems impossible to do on mobile
Absolutely beautiful <3 the music, the art, the storyline, the voice acting? Literal perfection. I wish this was way more popular :)
Also omg yay! Van seems like a Pochacco fan as well!! The matching pfps made the whole thing feel even more “coincidental” and extra exciting :D
How do I put my name 😿
Thats what I wanna know 😿
Just a heads up that the text/dialogue box is cutting off on me, on the left so that I can't read the first few words of each new sentence
2-3 hours?! bruh i finished it in 30 mins (T-T)
30 mins ? I finished it in 20 ToT
oh my god you can't imagine how hard i cried playing this. 10/10 game... or maybe 8/8? ;3
i cant put my name in
It was amazing loved the detail.
What a beautiful masterpiece, if there's a way to capture and write down all the feelings that grew as i playing this masterpiece, i'll write it here. This even heal my visual novel slump (lmao, pls get what i mean). Thank you for creating this, let's meet in your next masterpiece. I believe in you ;)
Now if u don't mind i have to go searching for my soulmate
1. omg the art in this game is just magnificent, absolute masterpeice
2. please tell me there is more to this game :'3
The game runs well but for some reason in the browser version whenever I try to change the music in the music room, the game freezes and I have to refresh the page.
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH I MEAN HELLO? THE CONCEPT THE ART THE AAAAH ALL OF IT ITS A MASTERPIECE
my heart, i love this game so much <3
I played this game about a year ago and I can already feel tears at the corners of my eyes. This was a beautiful game throughout!
I love it but like IM NOT A GUY HOW DO I CHANGE MY GE NDER?
hi! you may have already figured this out, but here's the explanation: the opening POV is not your own (not the protagonist's). you'll switch into your own character after that sequence ends, and be able to choose one of three pronoun sets
i'm crying.. thank you for reviving my inner romantic. great storytelling with so many echoes across lives / timelines and atmospheric beautiful art (and the red string of fate imagery was so evocative and well done!!) ;;
van was so hot he made me choke for two minutes on my spit
quite literally one of the best games i have ever played in my entire life. this is so beautiful.
The soundtrack and the story... it made me cry. Thinking of the pain shown through the art is so perfect. I truly felt like I was the one going through and experiencing it. It hurt so much seeing the dream and imagining how painful it would have been. It is such a gorgeous game and so romantic its literally pulling at my heart strings. To the person who made this it is absolutely perfect!! 10/10
The story in this game was absolutely beautiful…I would have loved to spend even more time (and even more lifetimes) with Van.
The visuals in this game... wow. Truly breathtaking. The moment I launched it, I just sat there thinking, damn, what a stunner. The GUI was gorgeous, and I especially loved how the strings were incorporated visually, it added such a meaningful, elegant touch to the entire experience.
Overall, this was such a wonderful experience, one I’ll remember fondly… maybe even into my next life.
ME ENCATÓ, LO AMO
so great! pure love! i like the story and the music :)
this game warmed my heart so much T-
this game was so beautiful! i’ve always loved stories in the style of akai ito –they’re so romantic and emotional. and this one was no different; every lifetime felt so unique and meaningful. i especially loved the ost, it really enhanced the experience. thank you for creating something so heartfelt!
This game is beautiful...
CRESCENCE RELEASE RED STRINGS OF FATE ON SPOTIFY AND MY LIFE IS YOURS (no seriously pls add this onto Spotify its so good 😭😭)
omggg yesss same!!! i’d listen to it on loop fr T^T
Beautiful. The soundtrack was outstanding as well!
wow，看ui界面，主角用的设计软件是krita？
procreate!
Dude what? I'm not even a romantic person and this is tugging at my heartstrings
this game was so cute, I loved the soundtrack sm. wish I could play it for the first time again.
Amen
i literally only made an account to comment on this exact vn because it's the sweetest thing ever like i was genuinely on the verge of tears and i think everyone deserves to feel a love like this, at least once. in every lifetime.
I am sobbing this game was so freaking cute and gave me the same vibe as those two anime movies 'To Me, the One Who Loved You' and 'To Every You I've Loved Before' really the wholesome game I needed right now😭😭😭
i just realise that the love interest has the same name as me, and now it's like i'm romancing myself
the best kind of love, self love
1/5,. :( perspective is confusing at the start and i cant get past the first text box because it doesn't wor
I FW TS SM, it's every corny shits i believe in. intertwine must be me in game form.
thank you for creating this game!
“By your touch, I’ll always be yours” IM ACTUALLY CRYING
