About

Two people, one bad stretch of luck in love and ambition, and a life that keeps braiding itself around everyone they meet. Lena and Ian aren't looking for the same things, but they've landed in the same kind of hurt, and the people orbiting them won't let either one stay simple.

The story splits between the two leads and lets their choices pull in opposite directions, toward devotion or ruin, honesty or a slow accumulation of lies. Nothing is fenced off from consequence: love can curdle into betrayal, ambition into compromise, and the game keeps track of who you were willing to become along the way.

Play moves through dates, calls, and the small daily friction of two lives colliding with everyone around them, with choices threading forward into later chapters rather than resetting clean each time. It leans into its cast rather than its mechanics, so most of what changes is who these people are to each other, not what buttons you press to get there.

Chapter14.2.2 Beta

Multiple bugs have been ironed out (some minor graphical issues remain and will be polished shortly). I'm currently away from my main set up and haven't been able to create the Android distribution, but you can still access v14.2.1.1.

Bugfixes

Chapter14.2.1 Beta

This chapter brings several scenes: some completely new, others variations of alternate paths. Some of them were highly anticipated, while others I hope will come as a surprise.
I didn’t have time to include everything I wanted. I had to scrap some ideas and ended up adding others I wasn’t sure about at first, but that I think the community had been asking for and will appreciate.
And most importantly, there’s a secret scene at the end of the chapter that I hope will make more than a few of you very happy. Can you guess what it is? You’ve been asking for it for a long time.

Chapter14.1.4 Beta - 2025-10-25

Additional bug fixes, especially some convoluted plot inconsistencies in the Holly Trinity path.

Chapter14.1.3 Beta - 2025-10-16

Along with fixing bugs and inconsistencies in some narrative branches, I've added a small scene that completes one of the developments Lena can trigger in this final chapter (wink, wink)

Chapter 13.3.4 - 2025-04-02

A few bugfixes, mainly addressing some rare narrative inconsistencies involving Ian, Cindy, Wade, and Lena. I also added Gillian’s office outfit (which I had forgotten to include in the code). Thanks to Lara, the gallery is now fully updated with all the scenes from this chapter!

Chapter 13

This new update focuses on Lena's trip with Seymour, and only has content for that particular path, but work on the following events for the chapter is already underway. So, if you're not playing Seymour's route you'll have to skip this one, but I wanted to try and make justice to one of the most pivotal plot-points in this story.

Chapter 12.3 Beta - 2024/07/31

Chapter 12.3 Alpha - 2024/07/26

This update completes the beach house event from Ian's POV, and is centered on his relationships with the main cast, especially Lena and Holly, but you'll find content for other characters and plotlines.

Chapter 12 Full - 2024/05/05

Small bugs have been ironed out and some tweaks and improvements added. I also expanded on a Lena solo scene, adding a new branch and images, but there aren't major changes from the Beta.
As you know, in this update will be focused on the beach house event, which will be concluded in the next release to cap off this long chapter. Also, a new companion will be joining Ian and his friends during their summer vacation

Chapter 12 BETA - 2024/04/29

Here's the Beta for Chapter 12! Small bugs have been ironed out and some tweaks and improvements added, but there aren't major changes from the Alpha (excpet a small extension of a texting scene, with 3 new illustrations added).
As you know, in this update will be focused on the beach house event, which will be concluded in the next release to cap off this long chapter. Also, a new companion will be joining Ian and his friends during their summer vacation
(I've also added a small addition to the mma torunament scene, if anyone's curious and wants to check it out, to set up some future plot points).

v12.2a - Chapter 12 Alpha - 2024/04/26

Here's the freshly baked Alpha for Chapter 12! As you know, in this update will be focused on the beach house event, which will be concluded in the next release to cap off this long chapter. Also, a new companion will be joining Ian and his friends during their summer vacation
(I've also added a small addition to the mma torunament scene, if anyone's curious and wants to check it out, to set up some future plot points).
I can't think of much else to say, other than I hope you enjoy this update and have fun exploring and finding all the different paths, scenes and variations. I think this one has some of my favourite lewd scenes and animations! Work on the last part of the beach house event is already underway, and I will continue writing and drawing during this release cycle to have it ready as soon as I can.

v11.1 - Chapter 11 Final- 2023/07/23

The complete iteration of this release is finally here. It took a while since I've been ironing out some obscure narrative bugs (BloodyMAres help is being invaluable in this task), and I've also added new music. Lena's second song, "Shine Again", has been fully realized with an original composition and lyrics, so if you got the mini-game choices right, you'll be able to listen to it during the concert scene in Chapter 8 , but I've also attached the mp3 file in this post so you can check it out right away! I've also added two new narrative scenes that weren't present in the Beta, nothing major, but it sheds light on a new plot point in the Seymour route as well as detail a bit more of Ian and Lena's relationship.

v0.8 Beta - 2021/05/29

v0.7 Revised - 2021/04/04

As I'm working on Chapter 8, I've also revised a couple things across the previous chapters. I've gone over Ian and Wade's interactions, since there were some incongruities after tweaking Wade's job situation, and this also allowed me to revise his and Cindy's introduction in Chapter 1.
Having to work on the game release after release, and trying to publish them as fast as I'm able, means that I rarely get to revise what I wrote and polish things. I'll admit I'm not a fan of going over what I wrote over and over again, but in this case I think that first scene flows better and represent the characters more accurately, since I didn't know them as well as I do now when I first started writing them. It's a minor thing, but to me it's important!
I've also added two new tracks to the soundtrack, now Cindy has her own dedicated theme, as she should! When she appears on screen she usually steals the show, and she needed some music to highlight the impact she has.
Anyways, just a few small changes but I thought they were worth re-releasing this last update.

v0.7 Final - 2021/03/07

v0.7 Beta - 2021/02/24

It's finally here! Chapter 7: Heavenly Sins is finished. The Beta corrects a few minor bugs and spelling mistakes present in the Alpha and adds a few tweaks to some scenes that I felt needed to be modified, but it's subtle stuff. Updates to the Agenda section are still needed and will be implemented in the Final version, which will also contain a new sex scene, so stay tuned for that!
This has probably been the most challenging update I've pushed out so far, and it took me longer than I anticipated, but I think it'll be worth it. Thank you so much for your patience and support, and I hope you really enjoy this one!
This update is packed with the most amount of content I've ever crammed in a single episode, it has 80+ full-screen, full-color illustrations, 20.000+ lines of narrative code and sex scenes with over 10 characters. Be mindful, to see all possible events you'll have to go over the chapter at least two separate times, and a lot of what will happen is dependant on your previous choices.
Did you Lena tell Louise about Jeremy's games, causing them to break up, or are they still together? Did Lena sleep with Robert or rejected him right away? What's Ian relationship to Emma, Alison, and the other female cast? Try different choices to discover wildly different scenes.

v0.6 Final

Thanks to everyone who helped me polish this and reported any bugs. Everything should be fixed now, and I also added a couple new small features.
Updated the Agenda information and created missing character profiles.
Added the option to manually name individual saves (thank you Lara for your mod!)
Ironed out minor bugs that could cause compatibility issues moving forward (thank you BloodyMares and Cabot, and anyone who reported them!)
Cleaned remaining typos and grammar mistakes (thank you again, vBerlichingen!)
Changed the variable requirement for the appearance of certain character (can't say more without spoiling it, so I'll talk about that more in depth in a later post)

v0.6 Beta

Here's the Beta for ORS Chapter 6!
The Alpha was pretty stable and only minor bugs had to be fixed. Here's a changelog on what had been altered:
Added a new dialogue option to the Cherry/Alison bar scene that will be relevant in the future, but it doesn't add a new variable. It just transforms an old one from True/False to a numerical value.
Fixed a loop that was present in Chapter 2
Fixed story inconsistency regarding Wade
Fixed various graphical bugs
Fixed minor coding bugs
Fixed a few spelling mistakes
There might still be some minor bugs or inconsistencies, so please let me know if you find any!
Working on Chapter 6 has been a very big challenge. It packs the most content and art from all the updates I've ever produced, and I'm very proud of the result. I hope you guys enjoy it and to have made your wait worthwhile.
I've tried to make the story and character interactions advance and some are already ripe, while others are steadily moving to their climax. There's still a lot to come but I think Chapter 6 will feature a couple of very anticipated scenes, some of which can be rather unexpected... And also it includes that big surprise I've been teasing these past couple of days, and it's something long-time patrons will surely enjoy.
Anyways, it's better if I shut up and let you play it. I've done a through bug-testing and BloodyMares and vBerlichingen have been incredibly helpful, going out their way to work on the script with me with proofreading and bug-testing. There's bound to be a little bug here and there, but it shouldn't be anything major. If you find any, please let me know down in the comments.

v0.5 Enhanced

Hello! As I said on my previous post, I've been re-working some stuff on ORS and here's the result! Having some free time during September helped me see a few things that needed to be improved and tweaked to get a better and more polished product, and I want ORS to be the best it can be...
This means, as always, that there might be some problems moving forward if you use old save-files. I know it's annoying, but this is a work in progress, after all... You will be able to play chapter 6 with older saves, but is probable at some point you'll experience some minor bugs, or have problems accessing new scenes, so I'd recommend starting a fresh save at some point. I've tried to make starting over worth it, though...
So, what's new in the enhanced edition?
I've added a couple things to strengthen the driving narrative of the story, making Ian and Lena's personal goals a bit more clear. Lena's situation at the café is also re-worked and better tied to the narrative and gameplay.
I've added a few new interactions with Axel and Ivy that will open up interesting plot points in the future. Not including them felt like a missed opportunity.
I've restructured Ian's training sessions to be more coherent. I dug myself in too deep giving the option to choose between two martial arts, but it's something I wanted to explore. Now the progression is clearer and makes more sense, and there's also a new goal related to that path of the game: an upcoming tournament!
I'm reworking Robert scenes to make him more likeable. Don't worry, you'll still have the jerk you love to hate, if you don't correspond his advances. But I felt Lena had a lack of appealing options 5 chapters into the game, so I want to make Robert fun to pursue if you as a player are into it.
There will also be a new naughty scene you'll see over the phone... Just make sure you're in good terms with Jeremy
I'll implement a way to track the current day in game, so you always know where the scene you're playing is happening in the chronological order.
I've also made some minor tweaks to some stats and restructured the way I compute the variables in the script, but that shouldn't concern you.
Some other minor tweaks and re-writes I can't remember now, but most importantly...
ANIMATIONS! I've been experimenting with the idea and implemented quite a few animations during sex scenes. It's a feature that has been really requested and I've decided to give it a try... They are just simple 2-frame animations, but it's the best I can do considering my work-load and schedule. I want to hear your opinion on them... Do you like them? Do you feel they add something of value and are they worth the time and effort needed to create them?
I hope you enjoy the new version and keep supporting the game moving forward. It really means the world to me.
