Evaluation

Our Red String launched on Steam Early Access on March 19, 2026 as an erotic visual novel following dual protagonists Lena and Ian through a branching story. The game is explicitly unfinished, with content being added progressively toward an eventual 1.0 release. The developer, Eva Kiss (published by TinyHat Studios), has been actively delivering updates: bug fix hotfixes followed immediately after launch on March 20 and March 22, 2026, and a substantial content update — labeled Update 15.1 — shipped on August 14, 2026. This most recent update added 13 new scenes including character dates, conversations, and sex scenes, showing that meaningful story content is still being built out. The numbering of the update (15.1) also suggests a long history of prior updates not captured in this data, reinforcing that development is ongoing and active. TinyHat Studios has a demonstrated track record with Early Access visual novels: Dungeon Tavern completed its Early Access journey and launched as 1.0 in October 2025, suggesting the studio knows how to see these projects through to completion. Our Red String follows the same model and is clearly mid-development.

About this game

An erotic visual novel about heartbreak, self-discovery, and curious turns of fate- Lena and Ian are two very different people who find themselves in a very similar moment in their lives. Both are struggling to achieve their dreams and are dealing with the aftermath of a heavy breakup. Their lives will become intertwined, with each other and with several characters that will impact who they are and who they will become.

They will be able to experience the heights of love or the depths of lust… And your choices will impact how their story plays out. However, even choices made with the best of intentions can lead to an unexpected mess, so be mindful as you weave the thread of their Red String.

Navigate the story of Our Red String by leveling four main stats: Wits, Charisma, Athleticism, and LUST! Each unlocks their own set of dialogue options to choose from. Along the way, you must acquire Money and Will to spend on the things your heart truly desires. 

  • DUAL PROTAGONISTS: The story unfolds, alternating between Lena & Ian's viewpoint!

  • EVERY CHOICE MATTERS: Complex, branching paths with an emphasis on player freedom!

  • KINK FRIENDLY: Walk on the wild side and engage in NTR, BDSM, exhibitionism, and more!
