THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL. I adore Alaris, and the moment I saw the devlog, I was literally ecstatic . I loved the detailing of the red string of fate bringing the MC and Van through the next few lives, and how we get to see mentioning of themselves later. The music, CGIs, voice acting, and the AESTHETIC, oh my gosh. The entire game had me kicking my feet and grinning. The way that the lives flowed into one another, and the little quotes and proverbs between them were gorgeous. Like, seriously, the timelessness and mild sorrow was just *chefs kiss* perfect. I've always had it down bad for the soulmate trope and loved the idea of the red strings of fate. And then, there's the poetry. I need to just like print that out somewhere, and just like admire it, because it is DIVINE. 

SPOILER:

I love the fact that the painting reappears. It just connects everything together, along with the visit to the chosen location. Probably my favourite scene in the amazingness that this is. And then there's the "fin" screen. God. Yep I'm in love.

Thank you so much to the team for making this drop-dead gorgeous game! I loved playing through this so much, and I'm totally going to revisit this whenever I can! 💕

oh my gosh!!! someone coming from alaris---what an honor to have ur support for both games :') I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED THIS THO <333 your review is so nice!! i'm glad u appreciated the poems; they are honestly my personal favorite touch and were a big inspiration for the direction of the game ^^ the "if i had three lives" one is a big favorite, it's a bit longer than the version i included in the game but i would def recommend it!

thank you for noticing all the little details and callouts to the multiple lives aspect and playing!! <3

will there be a walkthrough? I legit cannot figure out the other 5 endings lmao.

i'll be uploading a more in-depth "walkthrough" later this week, but for now the best hint i can give you is to interact with the main menu! there should've been a signal what to click after the first playthrough :) if you're still having trouble, feel free to come back here and i can give you a more direct answer, haha!

Love it so much! The red strings of fate concept has always fascinated me and this is a wholesome experience. 🥰I especially love the music and the voice acting. The UI looks so goood as well! Great work!

ahhh so glad you liked it!!! thank you for the kind words <3

I finished the game just now, and I'm crying. The story, the art, the music, everything, the whole experience was incredible😭 This gem will be one of my comfort games now. Thank you for making this game<33

thank you so much for playing and enjoying ahhh!!!! the idea of creating someone's comfort game has always been a secret dream of mine, so this is so sweet to hear WAH <3 ^^

Congrats on release! Excited to check this out as soon as I get the time.

A game I didn't know I needed until I played it. It made me cry, made me hopeful and happy. I hope, if there is someone like that for me in this life or any other, that we can meet someday. This game healed wounds on my heart I didn't know I had, and I think I'll be playing it over and over again. Whenever I need a reminder, that love is timeless, I'll remember this game.

Thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard to give us this gift of a game. Thank you for creating something so powerful and emotional. Thank you for reminding me about these feelings I had forgotten. Thank you.

(+1)

this is SO SWEET. this comment makes me emotional and truly means so much to me---i'm so glad the game left such an emotional, warm impact on you!!! 

i am 100% sure you will meet and fall in love with that person one day, be it this life or the next (or maybe even a past one!) <3 love is everywhere we look, and there is definitely that special someone for you ^^ in the meantime, i hope van can continue to give you the love you deserve :')

(+2)

I cried okay. I cried like a baby and I enjoyed it. 😭💖 The cozy vibes are unmatched. The whole thing is super cohesive, down to the GUI/music/VA. Max did an incredible job voicing this, the sprite is, to put it mildly, hot af. 

I fell in love with Van a million times over. If there were more of it, I'd go and fall in love with him some more, whatever version of him crops up next.

Honestly after otomejam, this was just what my squished little heart needed. I feel rested and renewed and ready to take over the world all over again!

Thanks so much for writing this, my friend. It's a work of art 💖

THANK U MARIA <333 this is the sweetest, thoughtful little comment!!! so glad intertwine could give you a little bit of a rejuvenation---you deserve it after lord of the wings (which i can't wait to play). thank you for playing and rating/reviewing :') 

(+1)

I'm glad you decided to make the ending to be that way (shouldn't give out hard spoilers so everyone please play this through!). The plot is sweet although there's another moment too, it's understandable (and made overall seemed more heart-clenching). I have to say Van's design is so nice, he's really handsome and (his tattoos are) attractive! The music is also great!

(+1)

ahh thank you so much for playing! so glad you liked the ending :)) i'm assuming that means you got all the way to the "fin." screen? the support and kind words mean a lot! and so glad you like van (i also am a fan of his tattoos haha!) and the music ^^

Yes, I definitely had finished the game, got all 6 CGS. 


*Spoilers*



I meant to say that I love this trope and I like how Van was able to tell mc about their past lives^^ (Although I wish mc would remember some of it too, could they, maybe in the future? Or the dream thing is considered as remembering already?)

Thank you again for the game!

ahhh wow all 6!! thank you so much for playing :') and yes i think that's totally up to the player to believe! the last life in the game is not the end of mc and van's journey and i'm sure they'll see each other many times more in future lives---if you'd like to think that mc comes to also remember the way van does, i think that's very romantic ^^

Such a lovely game! it says it has 6 cgs, but i can only get one? Also the game ends after the

SPOILER:










meteor shower. Am i doing something wrong or is the game just this short? regardless it is lovely!

(+1)

hello! there are definitely 6 cgs!! without giving too much of a spoiler, i would revisit the main menu for any interactive elements ^^ <3

thank you for this beautiful experience, it really touched me, and  I would be lying if I said I didn't have tears in my eyes at the fin screen. I have only got 4/6 cgs though, and can't seem to figure out how to get the last 2.

YAY!!!! i’m so glad you liked it!!! <333 i hope they were happy tears ^^

the other two cgs are simply variations of the final cg and is dependent on the choices you make for where you want to go in the first life. if you’d like to play through again, feel free to change up some of your choices in the first life to see how they might affect some small details of your final reunion but in terms of content, you aren’t missing anything :)

How comfortable

thank you! so glad you liked our cozy vibes <3

THE WAY THERE WAS SOME SORT OF HIDDEN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE THEY MEET AT THEIR OFFICE JOBS WITH THE FATED SOULMATES/ENEMIES TO LOVERS TROP, IN THE STRING ON THE TITLE PAGE, WHEN IT TURNS RED WAS SO CLEVER AND SUCH A NICE SURPRISE!!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME WAS SO NICE AND WELL-EXECUTED FROM THE STORYLINE TO THE ART!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME

AHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!! IM SO GLAD U LIKED IT AND ALL OF OUR LITTLE DETAILS!!!!  that specific playthrough has been a fan favorite (it was also the teams favorite LOL) and i’m so glad you enjoyed the game!!!!! thank you for playing and leaving such a nice review <33333

(+3)

This is so cozy and sweet!! What a joy, The whole aesthetic for the game was so pretty. Loved being able to meet Van and experience this lil love story

thank you so much!!!! so glad you liked it ^^ those were definitely the vibes we were aiming for. so glad you enjoyed our little game <3

This game was unbelievably sweet! The atmosphere was absolutely perfectly done!
The gui was so cute and soft feeling, the music was stunning and the sprites were really adorable! Especially the voice acting, the whisper-y voice the actor used made every scene feel more intimate in a way. The the flashbacks were a nice touch to confirm the players interpretations! The poem was really good too, I loved the beautiful word choice and the desperation in the last parts, it was great!
Plus I'm a sucker for a soulmate trope and this whole game was just really really cute! Loved it!

ahhh thank you so much for the kind words!!!! they mean the world :’) the voice acting and soundtrack were phenomenal im very grateful to the talented people who helped out with those parts!!! 


i also feel the need to ask if you happened to get the “fin.” screen at the end of your playthrough? 👀 

(+1)

I JUST GOT DONE ACTUALLY PLAYING- OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS SO WELL THOUGHT OUT! I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THAT FTGKJN
THIS IS SO FREEEAKING CUTE I LOVE THIS EVEN MORE!
(Side note, some of my team was wondering if Van was meant to be Vietnamese based on the name pronounciation and everything?)
I love this game with all of my heart and i have a lot of heart!

HAHA NO WORRIES!!! i figured a lot of players would miss it since it's not a common feature. i was nervous actually no one would get it so i'm glad people are picking up on it!!!! I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT <333 AND THANK YOU!! it's short but i was rly proud of the narrative design for this one!!!!

and YES, van is viet!!! my viet king <3 he likes bun bo hue more than pho, loves che thai, more familiar with southern viet dialect. in one life, i like to imagine he got to visit vietnam and take many beautiful pictures 

i'm so honored that u r offering so much of ur love to the game ^^

What a fantastic, delicate, lovely twining rope of a story! From the heart-rending start, where I could sense the pain of the two lovers being separated, to the tender and delicate ending, where they finally find a way to reconcile... this whole game gave me a sense of tender nostalgia, loss, and then longing. Van was such a lovely character and it was so wonderful seeing him speak of his art and how he used it to reconcile his feelings of loss. Amazing work!

(+3)

By the way, I JUST DISCOVERED that after you play the "main route" by going to start... you can unlock a verrrry nice "secret" by going to the red string on the main menu. And for those of you who want to see a more detailed review...

SPOILERS UP AHEAD, DON'T READ IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE SECRET FOR YOURSELF FIRST!!!

(You can actually unlock a whole new scenario/life where MC and Van became colleagues because Van was never able to follow his dream to be a photographer... so they are colleagues who have a VERY tense (and tension-filled...) relationship with one another. It's absolutely fascinating to see how they interact with and still manage to (depending on your choices) love each other in this lifetime also... and I'm so happy they finally got to KISS. Yessss, get Van, MC! In this life, you get him GOOD!)

Anyway, loved the game, loved its secrets, loved it all. Such a lovely delight of a game!

another spoiler but there are up to 4 lives to experience with Van with very different scenarios! but i’m so glad you liked the game and the different ways to experience love!!! thank you so much for playing and the incredibly kind review and support :’) <3333

You're so welcome... and I'm excited to experience 2 more lives now!!!

Simply BEAUTIFUL. This is such a sweet and romantic story, everything felt so magical!!

I loved the way everything connected together, not just story-wise, but also in other aspects! How the UI represented both the red string of fate and the synesthesia from both the MC and Van; how the music flowed so well with the vibe and even had certain parts where Van would talk; how the art felt so pretty, soft and deep in its simplicity; how well the voice actor fitted Van's character... and of course, the undeniable chemistry between Van and the MC!! 

I really loved how they met in each timeline, but I have to say I have a soft spot for the "red strings" story in particular. I'm a big sucker for romance where the couple start sort of hating each other but then they fall super deeply in love AAAHH kdjgbjksdbg, so good!!

Also, can I just say... the whole string of fate in the UI and programming was awesome?? I never experienced anything like that in a visual novel, it was really unique and clever!! A pleasant surprise and, as a gamedev myself, makes me curious and excited to see if I can do something creative with my game menus someday too!

The story really gave me a lot of feels, I couldn't help but love it as the hopeless romantic that I am, thank you for creating such a beautiful game!! <3

PRIIIIIII!!!!!! this is the sweetest comment ahhh!!!!! thank you for writing something so thoughtful it means the world how much attention to detail you had for all these little aspects 😭 everyone on the team did a phenomenal job of pulling everything together for a cohesive game 

the programming is one of the things i was most proud of in the game with the little animations and interactive features of the string on the main menu :’) so i’m glad you noticed it and def can see you doing something just as creative ((if you ever do you must send it to me so i can play!!!) ) 

thank you again for the kind words they are so appreciated and i’m so glad you enjoyed our little submission <3  ^^

I can not string enough words together to describe how much I love this.

STRING??? *everyone boos*

Oh my goodness, I am just way in love with this, and with Van. I am so upset I have no more to play/read/experience. He’s wonderful, and this is just so weirdly comforting, despite being also oddly sad - it’s weird.. it’s like a self-fulfilling prophesy. You feel it right along with the game, and it’s just a beautiful thing.

(+1)

i am so glad you liked it!!!! and yes a small little game but very happy that it packed enough emotion for u to feel like you could experience everything with mc :’) thank you so much for playing!!!

I basically said everything on tumblr but I'm going to write here too. I'm honestly so in love with this game, it hit me in the feels so fast and hard I cried a little during it. I can straight up feel the love and work that went into this game and it makes me feel so warm and cozy in some way? During the game I had such a strong feeling of comfort from Van and I'm sort of just sitting here going "I'm so gay" over and over again but back to the comfort feeling. I don't know how but Van gives such a sense of comfort but also a sense of nostalgia in some way I can't explain. I'm basically rambling but holy I'm so in love I can't word it normally.

I'm honestly just, very comforted in a way by the game. The art is so beautiful, the writing and editing is so well done and Van just gives such a sense of comfort I can't explain it at all but if there was someone I needed in life it's Van please I'm so gay and in love.

I can just feel the love behind the game and it makes me so happy. <3 This was very ramble-y but I just gave my thoughts unfiltered. In short, the comfort and love behind the game makes me so warm and cozy and I would very much ramble to my friends about this game for hours.

this is the best compliment ever!!!!! i really wanted to make something just sweet cozy and fun and it feels like that was exactly your experience so i’m so glad it made you feel this way <333 thank you so much for playing and supporting :’)

AHHHHH IT LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I really love the art style and the way you made Alaris so I have no doubt that this game will be fantastic .❤

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH 😭😭😭😭 i was pretty proud of how the art came out in this one for the most part!!! i hope you like it thank you for playing 💖
