Although the main storyline remains largely the same, the game is clearly designed to be replayed through different relationship paths, romantic outcomes, and choice variations. I was genuinely surprised to discover entirely new scenes simply by making different decisions, and each romanceable heroine has several scenes and interactions worth unlocking. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [h1]📝 Review, Gameplay & Verdict[/h1] [table] [tr] [th]📖 Story[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td] Intertwined follows an 18-year-old who returns to live with his mother after spending several years away with his father. The story alternates between his present life in Alvarado and Madison Springs and memories that gradually reveal his past, former relationships, and complicated connection with Erynn. Although the player can pursue several women, the game still follows a central storyline. Characters are closely connected through friendships, family ties, and rivalries, so romantic choices, lies, and alliances can affect how others treat the MC. Season 1 ends on an intriguing cliffhanger that immediately makes you want to discover what happens next. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [table] [tr] [th]🎮 Gameplay[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td] ① [b]Choice-Based Progression[/b] Intertwined is a traditional visual novel where dialogue choices shape friendships, romances, and later scenes. The main story remains largely the same, but relationships can develop very differently depending on the MC’s behavior. ② [b]Relationship Consequences[/b] You can pursue several women, but there is no consequence-free harem. Cheating, lying, or choosing between closely connected characters can lead to confrontations, breakups, and permanently lost relationships. ③ [b]Gallery Completion[/b] The gallery shows both unlocked and missing scenes. Some events require very specific combinations of choices and can be difficult to discover without a guide, making repeated playthroughs genuinely rewarding. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [table] [tr] [th]🏆 [b]VERDICT[/b][/th] [/tr] [tr] [td] Intertwined was one of the adult visual novels I was most eager to see on Steam, and it has easily become one of my favorites in the genre. Season 1 delivers a long and captivating story across Alvarado and Madison Springs, supported by rich dialogue and carefully placed flashbacks that reveal the MC’s childhood, his years with his father, and the events that still shape his present. Its choice-based gameplay goes far beyond simply selecting a favorite woman. The main plot remains largely consistent, but friendships, romances, confrontations, and intimate scenes can change considerably depending on the MC’s behavior. This is not a consequence-free harem: lies eventually surface, cheating can permanently destroy relationships, and seemingly minor decisions may unlock new scenes or close opportunities much later. The women are easily one of the game’s greatest strengths. Each has her own personality, vulnerabilities, history, and connections to the rest of the cast, making every relationship feel like another thread woven into the same story. Valeria is certainly my personal favorite, and despite having only 5 scenes, her personality and interactions with the MC left a stronger impression on me than characters with considerably more content. The game is clearly designed to be replayed, with different choices revealing conversations, relationship developments, and scenes that can easily remain hidden during a first playthrough. Its more than 26,000 renders are beautiful, but the erotic direction deserves particular praise. Nyx avoids basic back-and-forth loops and uses carefully chosen camera angles, changing perspectives, convincing body movement, and excellent breast physics to give the intimate scenes genuine erotic energy. Season 1 ends on a shocking and potentially tragic cliffhanger, leaving several relationships unresolved and making the wait for Season 2 particularly difficult.

Well done devs, the game is unique in many ways, background system and music, renders are perfect and well defined and varied, graphics are cool and the story line is well written, with the prior characteristic mentioned the game doesn't even feel boring and repetitive like others similar games, and the price is worth it.(for those who are interesting this game is similar in graphics to U4ia, race of life, law school and welcome to free will 10/10

Intertwined is legitimately one of the best VNs I've booted up in years, with sharp writing and characters. The best moment for me is when Dylan shows his top-secret grilling techniques.

[h2]Relaciones del Pasado, Rumbos del Futuro[/h2] El género de las Adult Visual Novels vive un momento de enorme crecimiento. Cada año aparecen decenas de propuestas, pero pocas consiguen destacar más allá de sus escenas para adultos. Las que realmente dejan huella suelen compartir un mismo objetivo: construir personajes creíbles, ofrecer decisiones con peso y contar una historia capaz de sostenerse incluso sin su contenido explícito. Intertwined - Season 1 nace precisamente con esa intención. Desarrollado y publicado por ValeriaNyx, debuta en Steam con este proyecto. El juego apuesta por una historia de corte slice of life donde el romance, los vínculos personales y las heridas del pasado tienen mucho más protagonismo que el espectáculo. Destacando especialmente el tono emocional de la historia, la calidad visual y el desarrollo de sus personajes. [u][b]Un hogar que nunca dejó de pertenecerte[/b][/u] La historia nos pone en la piel de un joven de 18 años que regresa a su ciudad natal después de pasar cinco años viviendo lejos junto a su padre. Su intención parece sencilla: empezar de cero. Pero como suele ocurrir en las mejores historias de este género, el pasado nunca desaparece realmente. Viejos amigos vuelven a aparecer. Sentimientos que parecían olvidados resurgen. Y secretos que llevaban años enterrados comienzan a salir lentamente a la superficie. Lejos de construir una gran conspiración o una aventura repleta de acción, Intertwined encuentra su fuerza en algo mucho más cotidiano: las conversaciones, las emociones y las personas. Porque muchas veces las decisiones más difíciles no consisten en salvar el mundo, sino en decidir quién quieres ser cuando vuelves a encontrarte con quienes una vez marcaron tu vida. [u][b]Una novela visual donde las relaciones importan de verdad[/b][/u] Uno de los aspectos que más personalidad aporta a Intertwined es que no intenta acelerar constantemente el ritmo. El juego dedica tiempo a que conozcamos a cada personaje. Las conversaciones son largas. Los silencios también cuentan. Y las relaciones evolucionan poco a poco. Cada elección modifica la confianza, la amistad o el romance con los distintos personajes, dando lugar a rutas diferentes y múltiples desenlaces. No pretende sorprender mediante giros constantes, sino dejar que sean las personas quienes sostengan la historia. Ese planteamiento recuerda a algunas de las AVN occidentales más apreciadas por la comunidad, donde el desarrollo de los personajes termina siendo mucho más importante que la cantidad de escenas disponibles. [u][b]Personajes antes que romances[/b][/u] Uno de los errores habituales dentro del género consiste en convertir a los intereses románticos en simples recompensas para el jugador. Intertwined intenta evitar precisamente eso. Cada personaje posee inquietudes, inseguridades y conflictos propios que existen independientemente del protagonista. Eso hace que las relaciones resulten más naturales y que los romances parezcan construirse desde la convivencia y la confianza, en lugar de surgir únicamente para conducir al siguiente encuentro íntimo. La historia habla continuamente de reencontrarse con personas que han seguido viviendo mientras tú estabas lejos. Y ese detalle consigue que el mundo resulte mucho más creíble. [u][b]Un apartado audiovisual muy cuidado[/b][/u] Los renders presentan un buen nivel de detalle, los personajes mantienen una identidad visual consistente y la iluminación ayuda a transmitir el tono relajado y cotidiano de muchas escenas. La dirección artística evita caer en la saturación habitual de algunas producciones del género y apuesta por una presentación limpia que favorece la inmersión. La banda sonora acompaña correctamente los distintos momentos de la historia, reforzando tanto las escenas más íntimas como los instantes de mayor carga emocional. Tiene su tiempo y en las primeras animaciones se nota, pero cumple sobradamente. [u][b]Contenido para adultos[/b][/u] Entre las temáticas presentes encontramos: -Escenas de sexo oral, anal y vaginal. -Desnudos. -Lenguaje adulto. -Romance con múltiples personajes. -Presencia ocasional de sangre dentro del contexto narrativo. Aunque no trata de cumplir fetiches o enfocarse en ir directo al sexo, se centra principalmente en la vida amorosa. Dado que es uno de los mejores aspectos que tiene y por el cual destaca. [u][b]Lo mejor a encontrar[/b][/u] -Desarrollo pausado y natural de los personajes. -Relaciones que evolucionan según nuestras decisiones. -Buen equilibrio entre romance y narrativa. -Apartado visual muy cuidado para ser un proyecto independiente. -Un tono cercano que favorece la inmersión. [u][b]Conclusión[/b][/u] En un mercado donde abundan las novelas visuales que utilizan el contenido adulto como principal reclamo, Intertwined - Season 1 transmite la sensación de querer construir algo más duradero. Su apuesta por un ritmo pausado, personajes que evolucionan de forma natural y decisiones que afectan realmente a las relaciones consigue que el romance se sienta como una consecuencia lógica del camino recorrido y no como un simple premio para el jugador. Si eres aficionado a obras como Summer’s Gone, Leap of Faith, Where it all Began … y valoras una historia que dedica tiempo a construir sus relaciones antes de llevarlas más lejos, Intertwined es un debut muy prometedor que merece seguir de cerca y que no te puedes perder.

## One of Those Stories That Is Truly Worth Discovering My first experience with *Intertwined* was, if I remember correctly, around Chapter 7, when I decided to try it through Patreon. The story caught my attention right from the beginning. The dialogue was well written, the visuals were polished, and the characters clearly had substance and a real purpose within the plot. They were not simply there to serve a particular scene or route. Each of them had their own personality, desires, flaws, and motivations. The further I progressed, the more the story won me over. The plot remains grounded and human, while still managing to be beautiful, intense, and genuinely engaging. The characters feel real. They make mistakes, face difficult decisions, hurt others, get hurt themselves, and often find themselves in situations with no simple answers. That is one of *Intertwined’s* greatest strengths. It does not try to present perfect people or idealized relationships. Instead, it gives us characters filled with contradictions, emotions, weaknesses, and choices that carry consequences. Over the years, NyxValeria has invested a great deal of time and effort into this project. She continues to revamp the story chapter by chapter, improving both the visual presentation and the writing. The game has steadily become better as time has passed. It is clear that this is a creator who takes her work seriously. She does not leave the project to chance, nor does she simply focus on adding new content. She regularly returns to older chapters, revises them, updates them, and improves anything she believes can be done better. That level of care can be seen throughout the entire game. ### What to Expect *Intertwined* focuses on individual relationship stories and separate character routes, with each character having their own personality, chemistry, and emotional dynamic. In my opinion, every route is worth exploring. Not only because it allows you to understand each character on a deeper level, but also because it reveals the complex web of relationships, secrets, choices, and emotional conflicts woven throughout the story. Your decisions do not simply determine which relationship the protagonist follows. They can also change how the characters connect with one another, creating different tensions, alliances, complications, and consequences. ### What You Will Not Find At least up to the current point in the story, the game does not rely on extreme or particularly unusual kinks. There is no traditional harem route, and there is no NTR, at least so far. Of course, I cannot know what may change or be added in the future, but until now, the story has remained focused on individual relationships, emotions, and the consequences of the player’s choices. ### Final Thoughts *Intertwined* is more than just another adult visual novel. It is a story about people, relationships, mistakes, and difficult decisions. It offers beautiful visuals, strong characters, well-written dialogue, and a plot that develops in a steady and meaningful way. More importantly, it is supported by a creator who continues to invest genuine time, care, and effort into her work. Its arrival on Steam is a great opportunity for more people to discover it. For anyone looking for a grounded, emotional, and carefully crafted adult visual novel, with characters who have real personality and choices that carry genuine weight, *Intertwined* is absolutely worth your attention.

9,5/10 Intertwined is a college melodrama that feels like a CW teen show, but it's a great game overall. One of my favorite AVNs for years, with good characters, funny dialogues and scenes, and lots of content with high replayability. It's worth playing.​ Story is a well-written slice of life that's entertaining, with fun scenes and solid character development. Lots of plot twists, almost everyone in the cast is connected somehow. High replayability: Intertwined already has huge amounts of content with many branches, most routes feel different from each other. Good renders and models, most girls look very beautiful and have diverse designs, that got noticeably better in the most recent update that also reworked the first chapters. Great selection of girls, almost all are likable and the romances are mostly well developed with good pacing; my personal favorites are Lexi and Valeria. (We want more Melissa!!!) Worth the play and in this group (teen drama, slow, storydriven) one of the best!!

This Avn is 1 of a kind and in my book a must play. all routes are super well done and all have there own Story doesnt feel simple at all. Gotta say that i love the new Menu good work (: My playtime is over 200h just not on steam..

One of the best AVNs out there! Every love interest feels unique and meaningful in their own way, and the drama that can unfold when their routes start to intertwine (heh) is half the fun. The different paths can completely change the tone of a relationship. For example, you can have a loving, secure relationship with Alexis... or you can constantly feed her jealousy until Mount Alexis finally erupts. My personal favorites are Alexis and Erynn, but honestly, I love pretty much every character in this game. The character writing is easily one of its biggest strengths. Everyone feels distinct, and the relationships rarely feel like the same romance with a different character model swapped in. The amount of route diversity and character interactions makes replaying genuinely worthwhile, and I'm still finding scenes and conversations I didn't even know existed. I've easily put in over 100 hours in the patreon release. Hands down one of my favorite AVNs. Highly recommended!

This is one of the best AVNs ever made, and it just keeps getting better. The graphics are phenomenal, and the variety in LIs and animations are top notch, but what really makes this game shine for me is the writing: the humor is off the charts funny, the complexity of the relationships is almost a running gag, the drama is peak. I can't sell this enough. I've played multiple routes in the Patreon version, yet it was a day one purchase on Steam for me, and I am running a completely new route. That's how replayable it is. Not too many kinks, mostly straight depraved stuff, but you can get yourself into a LOT of trouble with the ladies, so be forewarned. THIS IS NOT A HAREM GAME. Choices are hard, and impacts are rough if you're the type to care about characters in games you play. There are some serious topics, it's not sunshine and light. While the humor is great, the drama is real, and can be triggering. Theres violence, sexual and physical. There are themes that hit hard. The MC and many other characters have somewhat tragic pasts. There are some trash characters in the game, but so many of the people are written so well. Give it a try, it's worth the money, and you know pretty quickly if don't like it.

9+ hours into my first play through and I'm loving this game. OUTSTANDING story! If you want non-stop sex this isn't your game but if you love a great story and cast have fun!
