VN - Unity - Out of Touch! [v3.51.2] [Story Anon]

I... I don't even know where to start, this game has plenty...
It's an emotional rollercoaster.
It's loving and understanding and beautiful.
I've never seen such originality in a game before, the artwork, the characters, everything is so... fresh?
I have -never- seen a game this high quality before...
The story is great so far, I can't complain about a single thing.
The renders are so on point, you'd think this was a AAA game, but no!
I can't recommend this enough to anyone out there, if you want to feel something, if you want to witness something truly beautiful...

Download it, like, yesterday.

Warning, this is not a porn game, there's almost no sex scenes or nudity!

Damn, it's been a while since I enjoyed a story that much!
The characters are cute and interesting to follow, the musics are pretty good, the scenario is amazing and talks about some serious topics, and the realization, for a Ren'Py game, is absolutely incredible! The devs are masters of Koikatsu's CharaStudio, and even managed to implement some gameplay styles I didn't think possible in Ren'Py (but you have to wait until almost the end of the first part (chapter 14 or 15, if I remember correctly) to see that).

I highly recommend this game!

You can talk a lot about how juicy and beautiful the renders look in this game, and that these are the most beautiful anime-themed renders in the history of Ren'Py games, and how well the characters are written, and what a good story this game has, but one word is enough - MASTERPIECE. It would also be nice if the Story Anon would add character sheets to the game with updated information as the game's plot progresses, for example, how the character thinks about the MC at the moment, or who she is for him, a friend, or already a girlfriend, its already clear, but adding such a detail to the game would be nice, something like that Braindrop also plans to add to his game. I would also like to add that waiting for a love scene with a "certain character" was very worth it, beautiful scene

If you're after a quick wank this isn't for you.

It's a sloow burn with a nice combination of comedy and drama, really taking its time introducing the lovable characters making you invested in them. So far the game feels like an introduction, setting the stage for what's gonna come. That's why I'm fine with the very linear story thus far.

I fully expect the game to really take off now (post ch.18) and introduce more choices and diverging paths. Maybe that's not what the writers have in mind, but I do get that feeling from playing the game and I hope that's indeed the case. If so, this game is going to become the best damn game on this site.

The art and writing in this game is excellent. Some of the best I've seen in a VN. The music is also on point, really well matched with what's happening on screen. These three components really come together to create a whole that's consumed like a finely composed dish.

If that's an experience you can savour, you'll love this game.

When I found out of touch I had little expectations. I was on the search for new games and had come out disappointed or empty handed on nearly every one of them, Out Of Touch was not one of those games. This game has a plot that just pulls you in. The characters are brilliant and the story has the perfect balance of comedy and emotion.

I have played a lot of games since I joined f95 and this is one of the best!
If you're looking for new games to try give Out Of Touch a chance, you won't regret it

So this is extremely good. Give it a shot. You will be surprised. If you liked Katawa Shoujo you will like this. It also should have an Isekai tag (but actually I'm not sure if that exists). There is a lot of humor in this as well, which is actually great. It comes unexpectedly and I loved it. The music is incredible. However I guess be warned there is almost no sexual content, if that is what you are looking for then this is obviously not for you. I hope the dev can keep up this quality, it seems like the story is just starting after a terrific setup. So far as of version 1.14 there is a good 6 hours of content if you read everything.

Out of touch is now tied for my favourite AVN. It is a special game, the amount of investment I have in this game is pretty much unrivaled. It's so wacky and crazy at times. But under the skin, it has something that is so human, so real.

It's my first Koikatsu game, And I sure picked a hell of a Gem for my first one. The MC and other main characters have so much depth, more than even some AAA games can offer. The story is both so personal yet otherworldly and spiritual that it's hard to describe. It's a story that can only really be felt, not told. The music choices are the best I've seen in a AVN. The songs always hit exactly the right emotion that should be felt during the scene they are used in. Some of the music is shared from other games that I love, and that just connects me to the game even more. I got so invested that a particular moment even made me cry, I can firmly say that not many AVNs can do that. It is quite a personal and visceral game. So if that isn't your thing than I suppose you should stay away.

Quite simply, the game is a masterpiece in the making. It is not a porn game, It is an Adult Game. One of the few games I've seen that truly deserves that title. It is dark, it is sad, it is hard to play at times. But it is also Happy, fun, and oh so wholesome. Also the Dev is great, Loves talking about the game and interacting with fans.

This is one game that you don't want to be "Out of Touch" with. Enjoy

this is seriously a great game and definitely worth checking out.
the renders are top quality and the writing is up there as well.
the dev is also doing weekly updates now so there wont be a long wait between updates.
i would definitely recommend playing this one.

also dont trust the no sexual content tag, there is some minor stuff already with plans to add more.

Really good. If I wasn't a broke neet I would give story anon money. Just the right amount of sensible drama. Humorous in the appropriate places. All the girls are cute and I'm looking forward to the lewd scenes in the future. And to be honest even if the lewds are bad I would keep reading if the plot maintains it's quality. Only gripe is that animations during the battle couldn't be skipped but it's minor.

I'm glad this is a poly game because I don't have the heart to turn down any of the girls. They are just too precious

One of the few games out here that immediately inspired my patreon-age. I was in a bad place and reading this story has helped to bring me out of that funk.

With a heartfelt story, fitting soundtrack, and a lovely cast, this game hits all the notes. Props to the creator for the gripping plot without resorting to cheap narrative devices for filler. I can't wait to see where you go next!

I really can not say much about this game, except that it is SERIOUSLY underrated, deserves WAY MORE praise and attention than it has gotten. The renders are absolutely beautiful, the characters are unique and the storytelling is just amazing.

It's an experience. A lot of story and not focusing on sex (initially), but it is doing everything right.

Aspiring authors and game creators, please take a look at this game and get an idea of what quality looks like. It belongs on my list of games I'd recommend without skipping a heartbeat if you are up for a very unique experience!

All i can say is that, this game is amazing for its comedy and romance. Like for real, the moment i saw the story, i got hooked on it and just wanted to play more. In fact, i could play this for like 10 times non-stop. The horror genre is the one big twist for me and im a scaredy cat for horror games. There is not much of a lewd scenes but i find it relieving since it gives me a good time.

Overall, this game is very nice for its story. Of course, there is a room for improvement but its very nice.


Also Sarah best girl

Average for now, but has the potential to be much much more.

Liked the characters, story and humour. Only issue character wise is that there's a little too much freckles and glasses for my taste.

Really enjoyed the prologue. After that, not as much. Free roam and protag switching killed my immersion. Story was still good, but I found myself getting more and more bored as it went on and ended up turning it off during chapter 2.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one. It has the potential to be a great game.

Story Anon you are a god. I really wasnt sold on just the prologue but I'm so glad I kept playing. This game is amazing. The characters are lovable, everyone feels very human and I just know theyll all be fleshed out. The writing I honestly thought was cheesy at first but it didnt take long for me to understand your approach to this game. And I wanna say I really respect you having multiple character perspectives in this game, it really serves to bring out the characters feelings and thoughts. I can tell you're a veteran to this genre (you must have played, watched and read many games/anime/manga to put so much effort into this) and you know exactly what you want to do with your story and its characters. Also your taste in music is top notch for sure, definitely a nice change of pace from the royalty free music a lot of these sort of games have to use (not that theres anything wrong with that) I highly encourage anyone whos into story driven romantic comedies that arent afraid to touch on real life trauma with broken families and broken people to give this a shot. Even if the Ero scenes are a ways away, it's all worth it. This isnt some nukige for you to get a quick fap, theres investment here not only with story and drama but I'm sure with how ero scenes will play out as well. It's not for everybody, but you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Lastly thank you again for bringing this to life. I've seen so many projects with potential get abandoned on this site, and I pray that will never happen here, because I truly want to see the end of this story. I will be supporting the patreon this year when I'm able to. 10/10 keep up the fantastic work!

At first, when i saw the thumbnails i thought the art style looked nice and the girls were super cute. i went in expecting a naughty sex filled experience with some hot girls. To be fair, i only really glanced at the tags and didnt read the description, but still gave it a go. The title Out of Touch and the colors did give me 80's vibes from the start.

So i loaded the game (visual novel) and began playing. it started off a bit slow and i have to admit i stopped playing and went to go do other things halfway through chapter 2 (or i guess it was chapter 1 because all the stuff when CJ and Vic were kids was a prologue or something). I came back to it later to see if there was more to it and im really glad i gave it another shot. because i binged the whole game after that because the story had me hooked.

So what are the pros and cons? on the plus side id have to say your story is a bit sow to get going but once you get the characters established and the whole backstory out of the way, you get what feels like a nostalgic mix of anime styles with humor drama and action rolled up into one. i was diggin the soundtrack too! dont know if the dev remixed some of those song themselves or were able to find ones already remixed that just fit the ambiance but i thought it was a nice addition to the whole experience. there were a few animations that i found to be pretty well done as well.

As for the negative, (as i mentioned before) i went in thinking there was going to be a lot of "hooking up" in this game/VN, however thats not necessarily the case. the silver lining is that the way the devs story is unfolding there is the possibility of "hooking up" later in the story. the next thing isnt really a negative but its not a positive either, that long slow buildup at the start of the story! i realize that the backstory has to be established and there is some important plot points in the intro that need to be understood to get the whole concept of the rest of the story, just in my personal opinion it was a bit slow going. next thing i want to touch on are the boobies (lol see what i did there? touch on the boobies?! hahaha *ahem* anyway... moving on...!) i noticed that a lot of times when there is a scene where boobies may have been exposed the camera angle will shift or there will be convenient things happen to cover the nudity. im guessing this was a trope/ nod to old anime that used to do the same thing as there are later scenes where the nudity isnt avoided and figured it was just a stylistic choice

I have one last thing to nitpick on for negative and thats about it. i wanted to touch on the lack of consequences or noticeable effects from the small amount of choices we are given.i didnt see any choices that effected story progression or the route of the story depending on our choices. there were sections where you had a large list of options to choose to ask a character and i would choose to ask them all instead of leave right away because if i didnt ask i would miss out on some portion of the story.

ok wel thats my opinion on Out of Touch! the positives make this VN stand out while the negatives i found were simple nit picky things that dont really detract from the feel of the overall story. to those looking at these reviews to determine whether they want to play this game or not, id say go for it! the story is pretty good and will leve you wanting more at the end. for those looking for fap material, you probably wont find what your looking for here, but if your like me the story and overall feel and ambiance of this VN will be enough.

Cant wait for the rest of the story!

This is my review of the visual novel Out of Touch by StoryAnon

It is 4:45 AM on the christmas day, the 25th 2020.

For the first time in 6 to 7 years, I have cried real emotional tears. I remember feeling like this when I was a kid.
When I used to cry more often. I used to cry about such small things, but that reminds me of how I actually felt things when I was younger.
My body is still shaking and shivering after playing the game in it's entirety. It started with a massive shiver througout my body.
Then, as tensed up as I was, there was a moment where I let everything go. And then tears started rolling down my face.
I don't think I have ever been so attached to characters before in my life. This is not a porn game. This is a proper novel.
If you are looking for a good read, go read this novel. You will not regret it. I am patiently waiting for the other 85 chapters to be released.

I don't know what just happened. I don't know why I'm here. But holy shit is this a story. This right here is a fucking STORY. I didn't know I needed this in my life but I'm gonna be agonizing over the remaining 85 chapters for the rest of my life.

Is this even Koikatu anymore? The last few chapters were insane. If nothing else the Koikatu engine has been pushed to its god damn limits making the scenes for this.

God damn man. This is one hell of a passion project.

Wow. It is hard for me to put into words how I feel about this work. As others have said, very little sexual content of any kind in this visual novel. The story is completely linear, and choices do not really matter, so it's more novel than game.

The characters are extremely well drawn and their stories make you fall in love with most of them (except the evil ones, of course). If the author decided to end the story with Chapter 15, it would feel very fulfilling and complete.

I just hope they do not, because I can't wait to see what happens next. I only have good to say about this story, I can't really find anything negative about it.

Edited Feb 11 after the introduction of Chapter 2. The game was reworked to make the front part of it better and more consistent overall. One new introduction that I am not thrilled with is the fact that the battle with Cro is now a non-escapable mini-game, and according to the dev, more of this intended down the line. I really do not like mini-games. Hopefully, they do not overwhelm what is still an outstanding VN with incredible writing and character development.

Warning: Not a porn game. I think sex occurred like two or three times, and it was less than you'd see on tv. I mean I saw a nipple once. lol.

Really this game should remove the very small amount of slightly lewd stuff and just sell on steam as a visual novel. It's a story for sure.

Art: 5/5
The art for this is the highest point. Pretty damn good art.
Except the Chad part. That was... horribly out of place.

Sound:4/5
It had music that seemed fitting. Nothing amazing.

Gameplay: 1/5
There were a couple times some choices popped up. Absolutely don't matter at all, and otherwise it was straight linear story.

H Stuff: 1/5
Almost 0/5, but hey. There were a few teases I guess.

Story: 3/5
So... There is story. I was held attentive until about the end of chapter 1.
Then I realized it was just a drama for the sake of drama. Not actual good story, in my opinion.
I held skip for like 3 solid minutes just skim reading and seeing if anything else noteworthy happened. Not really.

Overall: 3/5 as a VN
Enjoyment: 1/5

Not my thing. I recognize the art quality and sheer amount of story. Just not... interesting story. To me.
Give it a go if you like non-H rom com stuff.

10/10

I went into this game expecting a half assed story and some naked anime chicks, but what I got instead was one of the most engaging stories I've seen from any game on this website .

The characters are complex and you care about them, the mc is a good guy that you're rooting for, and the writing is impeccable. This game takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion, I laughed out loud on multiple occasions, I felt bad for characters on multiple occasions, and I also felt happy for characters on multiple occasions.

The soundtrack suits the game so well, and the art is fantastic.
Its not easy to have Skyfall in your anime game soundtrack and have it feel earned but Out of Touch has done it.

It feels weird to write a raving review for a game on f95 that I didn't fap too, but I feel like I'd be doing this community a disservice if I didn't.

If you're looking for a quick fap this ain't it chief,
But If you're looking for a great character driven story and a potential future fap, PLAY THIS GAME.
