No-one cares that Lena is fucking multiple men. They're saying that she's a hypocrite for getting mad at Ian for fucking or just KISSING Holly in a situation where she can be fucking multiple dudes behind Ian's back. It's the hypocrisy, not about her being a slut.
So in your view, a person (man or woman) who's fucking a bunch of others on the side, is unlikely to be a hypocrite about it?

Because in my view, it's very realistic writing if anything. Just like 99% of players here would like to bang anything on sight when playing a male MC game but will be up in arms if one of the female characters cheats on that MC.

It's called human nature.

What do you expect? Now she knows she can get hot sex, passion and excitement from Ian without killing her save and comfortable relationship with Wade.

It reveals that Ian kinda has the power over everyone's fates. That his choices are the the predetermined ones.
It was an easter egg. The only thing the drug revealed was that there was someone else controlling Ian's actions, and that he was just a character in someone else's story. No need to think too much into it.

No, I even said that I'm totally fine with her being a hypocrite in that regard because it makes her interesting and realistic in my prior post. I want the option for Ian call her out on her hypocrisy, which we don't get no matter whether Ian has been 100% loyal to her the entire time, and if we've shaped Ian's personality to be someone who doesn't take shit like that.

You can catch Perry and Emma making out
Seems that Eva was having fun in that scene, but i found the whole setup for that scene to be weird and shallow if you chose to not use the drug.

To be honest, i was anticipating another Emma x Ian scene, so for me it felt like a missed oppotunity. Instead we were able to see if you chose to help perry with Emma that they got together that night, which was a great for those who helped them.

The reason is pretty obvious. That kind of disagreement can only lead to them eventually breaking it off. Which can't happen at this point, since their relationship is the core driving plot of the game.

I get why people might get frustrated when a MC doesn't act exactly the way they want them to when playing one of these games. But even full blown AAA rpgs have trouble tailoring characters exactly to player choice. And this is just a porn VN. It's one of the best choice-based ones out there but it's still a VN. The characters you are playing will always be Eva's characters not "yours".

0.8 for mac please. I'm desperate.
Our Red String Chapter 8 Alpha release!
PC
Mac
IMPORTANT: The Ren'py update messed quite some things up code-wise, and some of my testers reported that the game doesn't find the save files in the same folder it used to look for them. You might not experience this issue, but if you find your saves missing try this fix: your previous save-files need to be manually copied from "AppData\Roaming\RenPy\RedString-1574621830" folder to the internal "games\saves" folder. We'll try to look for a solution to this for the Beta.
The Alpha for Chapter 8 is finally here. Sorry for the silence this week, I wanted to post some sneak peeks and stuff but I have been 100% focused on finishing everything and I did, at the last minute, as always! I must confess I have mixed feeling about this update, it took longer than expected despite me working really hard on it, and it's proven to be personally frustrating. These past three weeks have been crazy, but I can say it's finally finished. I hope I did a good job this time too!
The chapter is titles "Falling into Place" and, as I said, I feel it makes some much needed story progression so events can keep unfolding. It probably has a slower pace than the bombastic chapter 7, but I think it has a few of the hottest scenes so far and also some of my favourite art to this date. The writing has been quite challenging, and character interactions and dialogue variations are really deep and complex, probably more than they need to be, but I guess it's the only way I know how to make things, trying to reflect all the possible choices you've been making during the game and how that impacts relationships. Some of those consequences will show strongly in this chapter.
Anyway, I'll just shut up and let you play this update. Many, many thanks to the MVPs: Bloody Mares, Lara and Breadloaf, with their help with coding, features, bug-fixes and quality control, and to vBerlichingen for his proofreading (it's not yet finished, by the way).
I hope you like this new chapter and that the wait was worth it. Please let me know what you think about it!
P.D.: Some of the cameos remain to be added in the Beta.
there's a mac link here, dont know if its working

But Lena breaks it off anyway, she says she's done with him now in my game when talking to Ivy, and Ivy even said Lena was overreacting. At the end of the day, it's a minor gripe and we can agree to disagree but I still really enjoyed the episode in spite of it. I think it's a small thing for Ian to call her out, and it would be nice option to have and a lot of people share my sentiment.
