Our Red String [Ch. 12 Tournament Full] [2020/PC/RUS/ENG] Uncen

Chapter 12 Full - 2023-12-20
Here's the Full version for Chapter 12's tournament update! Minor bugs have been fixed, including some potential continuity errors in the Alison path and Lena+Holly+Ivy path (chapter 10-11) plus other quality of life improvements and structural polish. The scene with Jeremy/Marcel in Chapter 11 has been expanded with a new image, animation and text. Once again, we have to thank Lara for the proofreading and gallery, and BloodyMares for the diligent work spotting narrative and coding issues.
This part of Chapter 12 focuses on the MMA tournament, while trying to advance some plotlines with character relationships. You might also find a particularly intense and maybe unexpected scene if you're on a certain path...
I had to go back and fix somewhat of a plothole regarding the Cindy love path: turns out Ian hadn't yet broken up with Lena and/or Alison even though he said he would, and as I was writing this chapter, I realized adding those event now would feel out of place. A quick replay of Chapter 11 might be needed to avoid possible bugs. I've also tweaked some "kickboxing" requirements that apparently made impossible to get to the master level during chapter 11, did you encounter this problem?
I also took the opportunity to tweak Seymour's scene in this last chapter, and add something I had in my mind but wasn't able to include. I wanted to save it for later, but it made so much sense to include it in this scene, and I had to.

Regarding the tournament itself; I knew I wanted to create a narrative-driven fighting system since before starting ORS, that's why I included the MMA training concept right from the start. I know it's not really integral to the plot of an erotic game, and some of you will skip entirely and wish I hadn't devoted the time I did (because, in the end, I made it way more complicated than I probably should).
But for those who try it, I hope you enjoy it; I've tested it quite a lot and I believe it works as intended; it's been a real head-ache to build but I also had quite a lot of fun, so it's a side-quest I enjoyed and I hope the effort put into it translates into something fun and enjoyable for players too.
In any case, I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions, and, as always, please report any remaining bugs you might come across down in the comments or through

But for those who try it, I hope you enjoy it; some tweaking and balancing is probably still needed, and I'm not entirely sure how easy it is to win or lose.
