Love Ribbon

Love Ribbon is a hentai visual novel made in the Ren'py engine by RazzartVisual for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.

The story is about a girl named Iris who is finally moving out on her own, or so she thought, until her father informs her her apartment will have a roommate.

Specifically, a girl who is actually her little sister, whom she was separated from since almost childbirth.

Confused but also excited, she's hoping to get to know her little sister, a hope that soon gets dashed when she realizes she already met her earlier when they almost ran into each other at school not too long before, and much like then, her new roomie and sister Zoey doesn't hit it off with her very well at all.

However, if Iris seeks to change that, they might become a LOT closer than just sisters.


 * Animesque: The game is made by a Western developer, but uses a lot of Japanese visual novel tropes and art style.
 * A Date with Rosie Palms: Iris is eventually driven to this when she gets to the point she can't deny attraction to Zoey anymore, looking up lesbian pornography on her computer and relieving her excess tension..
 * Big and Little Sister Attraction: Iris is obviously attracted to Zoey from the start, while Zoey tends to be Tsundere whenever she returns the attraction.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: Flares up between Iris and Zoey from the start, not blunted in the slightest by their being related. Made worse by Iris barely able to suppress her apparently closested lesbian attraction to Zoey and Zoey responding by acting Tsundere over those comments in response.
 * Bowdlerise: The Steam version is censored by default, but a free uncensor patch is available by the author of the game to immediately remove it.
 * Brick Joke: Iris fumbles for a response when she first meets Zoey and asks if they could go out for smoothies, to which Zoey doesn't respond. Cue Iris having almost completely forgotten about the comment a few days later, and Zoey finally tells her she'd like to.
 * Corruption of a Minor: Iris is worried she's doing this to Zoey concerning their incestuous liaisons. Zoey later reveals she saw it as her being the instigator.
 * Crash Into Hello: How Iris and Zoey first meet.
 * Cure Your Gays: Zoey and Iris get discovered to be in an incestuous relationship and immediately invoke wanting to send them to a "conversion camp" to invoke this trope.
 * Deconstruction: Despite the rather porn sounding premise, the sister-sister reaction is constantly Played for Drama. Both Zoey and Iris feel it from each other since the start, which, coupled with their not knowing one another for most of their lives and constant wondering why their parents never mentioned the existence of the other as blood related makes them wonder if they are really blood related, which doesn't help either repress their attraction to each other despite being family.
 * Delinquents: Zoey is obviously one of these..
 * Different As Night and Day: Iris and Zoey find they are like this personality wise not long after meeting each other.
 * Not So Different: Though they eventually find, this aside, they really aren't so different in many ways.
 * Epic Fail: Iris is such a Lethal Chef, she managed to set an oven mitt on fire.
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Played with. Zoey fits the former and Iris gits the latter in most regards, but it gets switched around on certain things, with Zoey being the responsible one when it comes to things like cooking.
 * Good Parents: Iris and Zoey's mother certainly isn't. Their father, on the other hand, definitely does his best.
 * Girls Are Really Scared of Horror Movies: Iris is, most definitely, to Zoey's amusement.
 * Heroic Sacrifice; Zoey does a nonlethal version in the ending..
 * If It's You, It's Okay: Iris is obviously a closeted lesbian, and while Zoey is somewhat more ambiguous, she definitely feels this way about Iris.
 * Luminescent Blush; Zoey's face goes beet red when Iris can no longer hide her Covert Pervert tendencies.
 * Moment Killer: Zoey and Iris are about to give in to their attraction at one point......and that's when the chicken on the stove starts to burn.
 * Missing Mom: She divorced from Iris' mother at some point soon after Zoey was born, and disappeared from Iris' life before she ever got to know her mother.
 * Multiple Endings: Split between Bad Ending paths and Together paths.
 * Plot Hole: The bad ending references events that only happen in the good ending.
 * Sister-Sister Incest: Iris and Zoey are blood related and are quite aware of this since the start of the game, and while they otherwise have little to make them more comfortable with the idea of having a romantic relationship aside from not knowing each other their whole lives, both are fully aware of the implications of being romantically involved.
 * When the genetic test Zoey orders comers back later in the game, to make sure they really are related,, which immediately makes Zoey terrified because she was hoping that wasn't the case, even citing the moral and legal consequences of continuing to be in incestuous relationship in response to Iris not caring.
 * Self-Deprecation: Played for Drama. Zoey's real reason for acting like a hedonist loner is a surprisingly bitter one:.
 * Shown Their Work: Zoey is a guitarist, and displays profound knowledge of her musical craft to Iris when prompted.
 * Zoey at one point cites it's illegal to be in an incestuous relationship, and since the story takes place in what is presumably an American setting, this isn't entirely wrong, as even a non married relationship would carry some form of penalty in most states and territories, though given they are in a same sex relationship, they could easily skate by in some states so long as they don't attempt to get married.
 * Smarter Than You Look: Iris is quite surprised to find out Zoey is taking calculus despite being an underclassman, which Zoey explains as it being the result of where the assessment testing for classes put her.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Zoey is the tomboy, Iris is the girly girl. Lampshaded by Iris soon after she finds out Zoey is her little sister by musing that one would think Zoey would be the older of the two.
 * Subverted later on when we find out Zoey is a good cook while Iris is a Lethal Chef.
 * Unusual Euphemism: Zoey tells Iris the band name of her current band is "Lead and Pink", which confuses Iris, until Zoey explains pink is a roundabout way of alluding to between a woman's legs.
 * Troll: Zoey isn't above this. To fend of questions of whether she had a boyfriend, she casually mouths off about having shanked her last one with an ice pick, just to get everyone to shut up. She also knows Iris freaks out over horror movies but encouraged her to watch it anyway, just so she could be even more entertained by Iris freaking out.
