What a lovely, lovely game. Beautiful music, beautiful voice acting, beautiful art—it was all so good! Coming from someone who has complicated-tending-towards-negative feelings towards romantic soulmates as a trope, I fell completely in love with intertwine, and of course, with Van. It's not a new take, but I vastly prefer soulmate stories where the people tangled together in fate's web ultimately have to choose to be together despite whatever plans destiny has for them, so I was really pleased by the game's main mechanic. The red thread might've led us all to Van, but in the end it was our choice to stay and build a life together with him. (Except in that one ending, and the other lifetimes where Van says we rejected him, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?)
Also, so sick and twisted of you to tie Van's hair back and not give us a CG of what it looks like down. I believe in Van's Rapunzel arc, I really do.
Also also, I think you did a pretty good job at keeping things gender neutral! It always feels a bit 馃槯馃槯 when games with a gender selectable MC mention things that make it clear that a feminine MC is canon, so the attention to detail here was really nice.
Also also also, I'm completely obsessed with the fact that in the final lifetime we see, Van initially shows up as Van before his title reverts to Handsome Stranger. Was that intentional?
Now it's for me to take a nap thinking about Van in preparation for replaying intertwine tomorrow. I'll be sticking around for your other games, so good luck on your game dev undertakings!
