❝ 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.

Kudos to everyone who worked on this game. It's a masterpiece ✨

Words cannot and will never be able to express how much I love this game. I cried. YES I DID. I am such a hopeless romantic AND THIS GAME IS FOR THE HOPELESS ROMANTICS. I love it, the art, the music, the story, VAN. LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THING POURED INTO THIS GAME, I LOVE IT. You are AMAZING for making this free. UGH I know I'm gonna play it over and over again. I love it, I love it, I love it.
I REALLLYYY LIKE THIS GAME! i swear, when i first saw this game...i already liked the concept...Deja vu, red strings.. All of it.. The artsyle is good too! i want this game to get more attention <3 thanks for created this game.
this is actually one of my favorite vns!! the concept is super unique, the writing is amazing, n the art is stunning! ugughuhgghuh i wish i could play this for the first time again
Holy SHIT I HAVE NO WORS no wait that's a lie I HAVE LOTS OF WORDS THIS WAS AMAZING OH MY FRIGGIN GOD EVERYTHING TIES TOGETHER SO PERFECTLY THE CHARACTER VAN THE PASTEL COLORS THE SOUNDTRACK THE QUOTES IN BETWEEN THE PARTS OF THE GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOLY COW 11/10 WOULD THROW MONEY AT IT IF I WASN'T UNEMPLOYED
Oh, such a beautiful story. Idk why, but i want to cry a little bit.
Beatiful songs, really cool story. I enjoyed it!
It was soft and sometimes fun :D. Second life was really funny :D
In general, thank you!
i know what you are. borahae.
So I'm already in love with the game even though I haven't played it yet, but I'm experiencing a little issue. I heard the first song, "Red String of Fate" and also quickly fell in love. When I'm in the music gallery it will glitch on me and say some kind of error, which leads me to refreshing the page. When I clicked on the song, it glitches, and when I click on the loop button, it glitches. I am playing on the web version, since downloading never works for me :/ Still a wonderful game, and I'm really excited to play!!
Finished the game, and I'm still in love. If not more. Every single cross-reference from the past lives brought me to tears, everything was extremely beautiful. I can't really describe the feelings I felt while playing this. Everything was so well done <3
Holy shit this game is amazing? Every new life, each new moment spent with Van, all of them were so captivating, and interesting, and that idea of meeting each other again and again was put together so beautifully. I can't express how much I love the idea of this game and how you managed to portray the concept of the red string, this was a wonderful experience to play, thank you so so much <3
i love this dude van is so silly. i love when theyre coworkers its so cute!! 88/8
words cannot express how much I LOVE THIS AAAA
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
omg thank you so much bless your heart
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
