Editorial Has potential
Intertwined is a remarkably ambitious visual novel with genuine passion behind it—players consistently praise its intricate branching narrative, thoughtfully written characters, and innovative mechanics like the devotion system and riddle integration. The writing quality improves noticeably as the story progresses, and the world-building has earned comparisons to the best in the genre. However, the game is currently in rough shape: multiple game-breaking bugs plague recent builds (missing sprite files, corrupted asset paths, crash-on-click errors), NSFW toggle implementation is broken, and the devotion system—while clever—is bewilderingly opaque without external guides. The developer is responsive and patches frequently, but the build needs stabilization before the creative merits fully shine through. For players patient with technical roughness and willing to engage with puzzle-heavy design, there's a real gem here; for those wanting a polished experience, wait for the promised "big overhaul" of Act 1.
