I can definitely see it being a thread that ties the characters and stories together in a skein that becomes the warp and weft of their lives in this 6+ month period of their lives. The connection to a particular East-Asian mythos when there is only one character that seems of Asian descent in the whole game, and he's a random club rat and minor character from GGGB, seems like a stretch, or a weird choice.

But, it's cool to hear the discussions and history of them, especially that EK hasn't weighed in with a 'voice of god' moment. I don't know EK's biography, but I thought they were from Europe, maybe Spain or Portugal? But I'm basing that off of echoes of a perhaps memory.


Oh, that's kind of cool. Multi-faceted interpretations make it a bit more interesting to me. I'm still leaning towards lust or passion, especially since there are lust points in game, but a sort of fated lust Gordian Knot fits the story very well, with how many playthroughs and combinations are possible.

I think you're putting a little too much emphasis on it Asian origin, no offense. I wouldn't necessarily call it appropriation either. When I made that post originally, I was pulling specifically from my knowledge base and experiences, but obviously it can be applied to many cultures and languages based on other members responses.

Ah, fair enough. I was just pushing back against the impression (incorrect, it seems) that ORS = Red Fated Thread was the answer to the title mystery, which felt like a stretch without more evidence. But, the general conclusion that this is a crucial and perhaps/likely fated time in the protagonists lives seems likely.

Opening the game again, it starts in the first week of April, and we're nearing the end of August. We'll definitely cover all/most of September, but I could see October being when everything is locked in, if we get there before an epilogue skip hits. So it very much is a 'summer of love' type story, just with a larger than definition summer. And as much griping and complaining we all may do in this forum, it's one of the most compelling and well made AVNs out there, and will be a standard others are held to going forward. Which is a hell of an accomplishment.

String, thread, fabric, weaving, etc. relative to fate and destiny are common themes or metaphors in literature, sayings, expressions across many different cultures.

A more modern reference, the movie Wanted, with Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie, an assassin organization uses a loom to determine who needs killin'... :LOL:
Red is commonly associated with love, passion.
The main overview mentions the reader threading their Red String.
The general references, connections to other literary themes/stories seemed apparent and likewise felt no need to further investigate the specific origin or source of inspiration.

Similarly, when I said alluded to, was referring to the general concepts of fate, destiny, related to strings and threads.
I certainly wasn't referring to a specific cultural origin...:LOL:
Sorry for any confusion.

No. You've seen me on other corruption threads. That NTR / NTS happen to be the primary form of corruption for most games is purely coincidence. I couldn't care either way about NTR.

Anyone know the name of that one music that plays when Lena's peeking on the red head and Jeremy or whatever his name is having sex? It happens early on in the game.

You know, at the start I used to think Cindy is one of those "popular in high school, bombshell, out of everyone's league" kinds of girls, like Ivy and Jess. But she just happens to be a normal girl that has won the genetic lottery, more so than the rest of the girls considering they are also really got, but yeah.

We really don't know much about Cindy's early days, she was in a different school. She met Wade at a party, and they hit it off. That's her background story.
