ROUND 2 MATCH 31

Van propaganda:

"He's a great artist, he's charming and caring... At first it seems like a standard meet-cute with this guy but he turns out being connected to the player character through destiny, in several of their past (and future) lives... Not in all of them you meet, not in all of them you like each other immediately, but in many of them you end up finding one another by chance (or is it fate?), and staying together as a choice."

"He loves you, he hates you, he's one snide comment away from getting an HR complaint, he's been painting the same question over and over again and you're the answer, he uses Pochacco as his profile picture, whats not to love??"

Derek propaganda:

“Extreme hot take but Derek is the best OL1 love interest. He has the best and sweetest confession in the game. You play video games together. He seems reserved until you actually start dating and find out that he's actually just a gentleman who didn't want to be overly forward with someone he's not in a relationship with. He's a family man. You get to blatantly abuse your 'dating' privileges in front of his brothers. He's just so insanely sweet and caring and makes me wanna cry whenever I play his DLC.”

“- Impossible to dislike

- No, like, literally impossible. OL1 will allow you to be indifferent to it's two other LIs, Cove and Baxter but you actually can't pick that option for Derek. Game decided that You Will Be (at least) Friends With Derek

- This boy is so good!!!! He's a sweetheart and has your back in the best way and he's constantly doing his best to make sure the people around him (especially you) are happy

- This is also a complex flaw of his because he feels like he needs to be the best that he can be and to be worth something

- This both manifests in how he treats others (he's exceedingly well-mannered and does everything for others because he secretly hopes that someday someone will do the same for him) and his career prospects (he takes on excessive practice to get good at football/soccer so that he can potentially get a scholarship and become famous all so he can potenially feel like he's worth something. This is actually a major conflict in his Step 4)

- His DLC also has some of the best moments in the game

- He also has a family and they're also really good and you get to see a lot of them

- His dad is hilarious, his mom is gorgeous and their relationship is very cute

- Meanwhile, Derek's brothers are great. I wanna gush about them because I love them but also play Derek's DLC yourself!!! See how good they are for yourself!!!!

- I will say that these three have a really good relationship dynamic and the development it takes in the 10 years between when you first meet Jorge and Nico as little kids to Step 4 where they're adults (and a teenager, Nico is 16 in Step 4) is genuinely very well written

- If you're into the steamy stuff, Derek also has the best make-out session out of all of the boys

- He's also just. Very funny. This boy will invite you to a waterpark and then ask you if its a date so he knows whether or not it's ok to check you out in your swimsuit

- Or, if you aren't dating by that point (but you do want to to date him), the narration will note how he's trying so so hard not to check you out, he's just trying so so so hard

- Puppy dog face. Look at it. Tell me you can look at that face and not want to smooch him

- His confession is also the best, did I mention it's the best? Because it's absolutely the best one in the entire game

- He has a whole thing about having to confess to you on a ferris wheel and he's so committed to it that he actually avoided ferris wheels for a long time before this confession because he promised himself he'd do it the next time he went on one

- And then he went on one...and he literally doesn't confess when he does it because he lost track of time and he had to get off

- so he asks you to go on the ferris wheel with him again so he can actually confess this time

Just. Just vote for him!!!!”

“He's sweet, polite, and out-going and is always willing to put you first (sometimes too willing).”

“polite responsible jock u r NOT immune to this”

Intertwine

I stand tall

Enthralled in your gaze

Waiting

Wanting

To kiss you like you were oxygen

To taste of you

To intertwine

Crimson lines etched into skin

Nails drawing pictures of lust

A breath shuddered

A name moaned

Intertwined

Ecstasy.

Wishes wrapped in Red String

Intertwine by Crescence Studio

Two souls, and an eternity to endlessly intersect. Intertwine lovingly takes the player's hand and leads them through glimpses of these souls' many lives.

You'd be hard pressed to find another game that feels uniquely special from the second the title screen pops up! It wasn't long before I felt a strong wave of emotion wash over, as noted during my first playthrough:

And it was gentle. Van and the player character's stories were worth every minute I spent playing (and replaying, and replaying...). How could anyone not latch onto that hope of finding your soulmate?

Intertwine is broken up into four short sections. Each one gives the player a satisfying taste, but it will leave you feeling greedy for so much more!

I love this game exactly how it exists, but I'd be lying if I didn't selfishly wish there were several more tales. For now, I'll just happily leave things to my wild imagination.

Reasons to Love:

- The writing reads like your new favorite book. The stories you'll find are charming, hopeful, laugh out loud funny, and romantic.

- Van might be my soulmate trapped in a visual novel for this lifetime...

I swiftly fell for his charm, and felt like a clown when the game called me out on my own cheesiness.

- I can't praise the voice acting enough! The subtle differences to each lifetime's Van was always filled with personality. The performance brought him to life and transformed these stories into very real feeling conversations.

- The replay loop mechanic was exciting. Each time back at the title screen felt like a treat. Where would Van and the playable character meet next?

- I adored the visual design of Intertwine's title screen from the start. As I learned the flow of the game it became clear that it also held a fun secret. That mechanic was delightful and unexpected. And also incredibly fun!

- As Van once said... "Fuck, this is embarrassing."

So, I think every CG scene got a surprised gasp out of me. The artwork is so lovely to stare at. There wasn't a single moment where I wasn't impressed!

- I know I already pointed out how special the writing is, but I need to throw extra confetti praise over the banter. This is probably my personal favorite aspect of Intertwine. The banter is so well done!

There's a lifetime where the player and Van are coworkers who hate each other, and then briefly worm their way into each other's hearts. I adored this change, and the chance at being a bit mean. There's something thrilling about a love that bloomed from a seed planted in frustration.

I would share some of my favorite lines from that lifetime, but I'm afraid that I would end up with 80% of that section posted here. I took so many screenshots.

~~~

Intertwine came out swinging and hit a home run. Now I could be biased as a hopeless romantic, but this is my blog. It's safe to say that Intertwine leaves a lasting impression and going straight onto my Best Games of 2023 list!

Intertwine: The Mini Market

Before I go into this story, I'm just gonna say that this is one of two teasers that I'm gonna put out for the 1st chapter of my webcomic! Hope you enjoy these :)

The Mini Market

Clyde was wondering around the dusty place, his clothes and the backpack he wore were dusted with sand and grime as he strewn about the decrepit city, reminiscing about the past and how he felt regret in getting into this mess which he wouldn't have caused if he had just controlled himself.

It wouldn't be long after walking for a while that he noticed the area wasn't full of sunlight anymore. It used to be evening, however it started to darken to night. He could've kept on walking, walking around the dusty place, maybe bumped into concrete or fell time to time, his body doesn't need any requirements to survive like any other person does, but he felt that it should have one, as a treat to himself, even if he shouldn't need it.

He walked and walked around, trying to find shelter for himself. A rest should be enough, he thought as he looked around, but blocks and blocks of concrete from abandoned stores surrounded him, none of them in sight would be considered useful to be a place habitable enough to stay inside for the moment.

It was only then a slight cyan light shone across a sliver of concrete that attracted his gaze.

"What?" He said in confusion.

Clyde thought this whole city was abandoned, and that no electricity was to be found powering anything at all. This gave him hope, maybe there is someone or something nearby, that is able to help him, that is able to offer him a ride out of this place, that is able to talk with…

Clyde starts walking over to the source of the light, weaving through the blocks of concrete that once used to be lively with buildings and stores, it felt like forever before he reached his destination, a small mini market standing out in the middle of abandoned stores and buildings, cyan colored lights shined bright, lighting up the outside of the mini market. The atmosphere felt lively from looking at the sign itself, as it was made out of neon lights, however no name was made with them.

Clyde walked over to the front entrance and peered inside, it seems to just be a normal small mini market, food were placed on rows of racks and drinks were placed in what looks to be a cooler. There were 4 aisles in the store, with gaps in between each racks holding on to some products so much so that you can walk in a line horizontally through the aisles. On closer inspection, several things inside were flipped on it's side on the ground, a spot in the back of the market made way for a resting place.

After looking through the front glass, minding one of the busted glass doors at the entrance of the mini market, Clyde decided to head inside the market. The outside darkening as the night comes on.

By the time he entered, he did not notice that someone else was watching him from one of the windows from the empty buildings nearby, their eyes glowing white in the darkness, filled with curiosity, before receding from the empty window.

The mini market was chock full of resources. Using what he learnt, Clyde was able to start a small fire in a barrel at the empty corner of the market. Snacks that were still edible, were in his hands and his backpack as he sat down and huddled close to the fire, feeling it's warmth.

Clyde closes his eyes, as he reminisced again about his time with his friends. It was a Christmas celebration and all of them were hanging out for a group sleepover. All of them were chatting, messing around, playing activities and such.

What Clyde focused more on was his then boyfriend, Darc, both of whom were happily discussing about the events taking place at that time, laughing about silly jokes, enjoying the moment as well as flirting with each other. He sighs as he experienced the peacefulness of the memory.

"Wish I can go back." Clyde thought, a sad frown formed on his face as he slowly drifts to sleep.

CLINK CLANG

Clyde was jolted awake with the sudden sounds of metal clashing together.

Someone is here,

but within the range of the light of the fire, as it was slowly burning in intensity, he could not see anyone. The blue light from the sign outside did not help, as Clyde realized the lights were turned off by now. It was dark out there, night has fallen, the darkness grew in the market.

"God dammit."

Clyde grew anxious, he had to remain calm, it's his responsibility to keep himself out of harm's way, he has to survive, he can't bear the fact that he has to encounter this stranger for the first time but he has to, he has to.

He stood up and slowly started walking around the aisles, checking each and every one of it to find a weapon that he can use.

Soon, he picked up a frying pan, it was enough to be dealt on someone without killing them with his current strength. It was also the only suitable weapon that he can find while searching through the aisles he went to.

It was quiet. Clyde was slowly walking to another aisle to search for something useful on the racks, he planned to book it from the store if he ever approached the front door by then. However…

for a moment from the back of the store, he had never realized the white glowing eyes that were near the front entrance were staring at him.

Only when he saw them in his peripheral vision was when he turned to look at it fully and froze. He was petrified, meeting eye to eye with the stranger.

"YAAAAAAAAR" "Shit SHit SHIT ARGH-"

Clyde was ready to turn back and run away, but he wasn't fast enough as the stranger threw an object at his head at high speeds that he easily slipped and fell to the ground, letting the stranger catch up to him.

Hands were up on Clyde in an instant, one hand wrapped around his neck tightly, followed by the other who cupped Clyde's abled arm, forcing him to drop the frying pan. The stranger stretched forward and high over him, however the stranger does not look at him directly.

Clyde was struggling to remove the stranger's hand off his neck, which it was impossible to do so. His neck was gripped tight and he might die if he doesn't do anything.

Clyde realized the stranger's grip on his arm was loosening by this very moment. He took it as a chance to free himself. He was looking all over the floor for the frying pan he picked up just now, seeing it mere centimetres away from him.

He reached out for it, yanking his abled arm off the stranger, while one hand was still on the stranger's hands that held his neck.

WHAM

The stranger's face was hit with a force so hard that their head collided with the racks as items on it fell off, the grip on Clyde's neck was lessened significantly. As a result, Clyde was able to get up after the struggle.

The stranger looked back at Clyde before-

WHAM

"Arh! Stop STO-" The stranger fell on to their back on the floor of the market, splayed out as their noodle-like arms tries to find its way to protect themselves. Clyde winds up another strike as he finds an opening.

WHAM

The stranger finally went unconscious, splayed out again as messed up spaghetti. Clyde towered over it, panicked breathing escaping after being full of adrenaline before letting go of the frying pan.

He stepped back from the mess. As his adrenaline rush was slowly fizzling out, he looked back at what he'd done.

"Oh no… No no no no no…" He didn't kill it, did he?

Regret washed over him once again. With what strength he had left, he dragged the stranger over to the fire, he didn't know what to do, all he could do was to prop it next to the fire, despite looking like the same mess as before, hoping that they're still warm in the scenario that they're still alive.

Clyde grabbed his backpack and packed extra supplies into it. He sat down next to the front entrance, thinking of things to do when he leaves, but he doesn't want to leave until ensuring that the stranger is at least alive.

It's all too much. "What will he do when it turns out to be dead? What will happen to me if it's dead… If it's dead… If…"

"Please be fine…" Clyde whispered as he started sobbing, tears running down his face, he can't stand losing someone, even if his life was in danger from them minutes ago.

Clyde ended up sleeping on his side, leaned on his backpack, tears stained his face.

After double checking for any more sounds from Clyde, the stranger opened his eyes as he retracted his elongated body from the fight.

He never passed out in the first place, all he did was pretending to be dead.

After a few moments, he walked over to Clyde and kneeled down to meet his face eye-to-eye, looking at him longingly, before getting up and sitting down somewhere near him, just close enough so that Clyde wasn't able to directly see him when he wakes up again.

"Intertwine"

Ao3

Maddie looked through the microscope at the only ectoplasm sample they had. “It’s amazing.” She breathed in awe.

“I know.” Jack said, looking at her.

Slowly, he put his hand on top of hers where it rested on the table, and intertwined their fingers.

Maddie slowly looked up at him, and smiled.
