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

Unlike the game itself, I'm not going to waste any time and cut straight to the point so I can get the awful taste it left out of my mouth and move on: "Out of Touch" encompasses pretty much every single aspect of visual novels that I loathe.

- It's pretty much a kinetic novel, which wouldn't be as big of a problem if it didn't pretend it wasn't one in the first place.
- Supernatural crapola. The game clearly hints at this from the get go so you've got to commit to it, but the hopes of the whole thing being handled in a somewhat interesting manner as far as world building goes are soon crushed, and the overall switch in tone is as jarring as it can get.
- Tropey anime "power of friendship" story (more like power of Harem I guess), with characters that aren't believable nor deep enough to warrant any real feeling towards, one way or the other.
- While the writing is fine from a grammatical standpoint, it's also irksome with its plentiful, unnecessary swearing and injection of cringeworthy, unfunny memes. Chad Thundercock? Really?
- The perspective changes are simply infuriating. But I guess in a way they're very much needed considering how shallow the MC is. Speaking of which...
- You guessed it. The MC might very well be at the top of my personal list of insufferable protagonists. He almost makes me appreciate the army of third leg sporting mannequins of your typical run of the mill incest romps. There is just no way to sugarcoat this: after the 5 year timeskip he goes from being your typical dense-but-loving, somewhat clichè but tolerable anime protagonist to becoming a total douchebag both in the way he looks and talks. Being loud, cocky, talking and dressing like a tool aren't exactly the first things that pop into my mind whenever I think of someone growing into a confident adult. Victoria's words to him on their first meeting after the timeskip are without a doubt the high point of this game.

I like slow burn games. And while admittedly I'm not the biggest fan of Koikatsu aesthetics I tried my best to give this one a try mainly because of the glowing reviews and essays about its supposedly "amazing writing" that, I'm sorry to say, is ultimately nowhere to be found. Not only is the game a slog to read through (especially earlier on when the confusion factor is cranked up to eleven), it's a hot mess at its core. It fails when it tries to be funny, and when it shifts into serious mode it's just mediocre at best, that is when it doesn't fall too deep into the tropes it embraces, for which you need a level of tolerance I frankly just lack.

Holy crap this is amazing.
I got kinda bamboozled since it was sold to me on a /v/ thread as a slow paced e-game about a dude with eldritch goddesses larping as his childhood friends. Not really eldritch, more like pagan polytheistic goddesses but still awesome.


Which it is a slow paced game, but its super good. I was impressed by the music video "seasonal" vids before the start of major arcs.

That said its not best for getting off too due to the slow burn, but there are galleries to go back to. Also voiced Chad as a god.

What we have here is a harem romance novel that fluctuates from lovey-dovey to filthy, in the backdrop of one of the most trippy settings I've seen. The tl/dr version is to just go and play the damn game, it's awesome. But I want to add this summary because I feel that the game is worth the extra effort.

The Setting:
The game takes place in near-future Japan. The technology is mostly familiar but there have been extrarordinary advancements in biomedical research. These advancements play a significant role although as of Chapter 43 the game only mentions the significance but doesn't show it. Additionally there is a supernatural element that stays under the radar for the most part.

The other half of the setting is supernatural, dealing with parallel universes and a very mythological place made from thoughts and emotions which is supposed to mirror reality in a sense. Certain people have the capacity to travel to this place, create personal pockets of space, and the time works differently there. This simple explanation doesn't do justice to the depth of the setting but it's a good starting point to make sense of what is going on. Additionally I really don't understand the particulars too well to provide a more in depth explanation. It's a trippy place with obscure rules.

The Story:
While the game has a consistent continuity, the player is thrust in the deep end. A lot of interactions don't make much sense because there is a lot of backstory that the player doesn't know at the time. For example, in the opening scene, a girl gets upset for seamingly no reason and the explanation given is that she has trouble understanding the language because she is a foreigner. While this is partially true, the actual reason is way more interesting, but it will take quite a while for the player to understand it or even internalize it.

The style during the prologue is very "asian". This combined with the lack of knowledge may confuse the player and give him the wrong idea. Everything happens for a reason and during certain scenes the game shows some apparitions that will become important down the line. It's a good idea to keep those in mind while playing.

Eventually it reaches a huge "What the fuck" point that signifies the end of the prologue and the start of the actual game. You may notice a shift in tone at this point, aside from the absurdity of that particular scene. The game starts injecting a lot of humor, the drama gets a bit more straightforward, the language becomes vulgar at times.

For the more "crazy" sequences, it's quite normal to not understand a thing of what's happening, however everything exists for a reason and the writing stays very consistent, even if the rules of the setting are left a bit open to interpretation at times.

The game prefers to show you the results and the reactions of the actors instead of providing exposition. The exposition usually comes a bit later in the form of dialogue but the narrators are mostly unreliable and this is by design. The actors themselves fall in a lot of fallacies, sometimes becoming overdramatic. This is part of the charm but it may annoy people at time. However these issues generally don't drag for long and are resolved in a mostly satisfying way.

The story mostly revolves around the inherent connections between the main cast. It introduces the characters, spends some time mending their relationships and moves on to dealing with the main "antagonists" and other dangerous situations.

The Characters:
The cast is fairly sizeable and the player is introduced to most of the characters from the start. Most of the girls are connected to MC in a very specific way, however the reasons can vary. Click the spoiler for a short explanation of the main cast.


If you read the spoiler, it becomes apparent that the situation here is extremely complex and to be honest it took me a while to understand the finer points. Even this explanation doesn't really mention all the details and some characters like Kieran and Teresa are very complex.

The story tends to accentuate the character flaws in an overdramatic way. For example there are a lot of sequences where the character wants to say something significant, but is interrupted at the last second and perpetuates a situation that seems fairly simple to solve. To be fair, these sequences tend to be more prominent in the earlier parts of the game and the drama improves in later chapters, although Leah really cranks it up to 11.

My personal favorites are Cro and Tsukiko. They are the two extremes. One is extremely hot and emotional, while the other is extremely cold and rational. The other characters are more balanced but very distinct and I think there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The MC:
I have to say that as far as main characters go, this one is unique. In the prologue he is a very meek and loving child. After a certain event he turns into a very cocky but still loving young adult. I'd say that he epitomizes the concept of the perfect ladies man. Extremely loving, emotional and supportive, assertive but never overbearing, great listener with very high morals, seemingly not too bright but makes it up with dashing action and grit.

However don't be fooled. While the game likes making fun of him being a bit slow and simple, he can think on his feet, he is surprisingly aware, an expert at reading people and he has some other hidden talents, like being exceptional at math, or turning a switch and becoming extremely dominant to the point that he walks over any situation. The writer throws a few nuggets of genius every now and then, but he doesn't allow him to overpower the rest of the cast.

He certainly isn't the "brains" behind the operations. This is Jamie's role. But he is the guy that makes things happen in the end and he will dash to the end of the world to get his way. Of course expect him to get manipulated at times, but truthfully, even the reader doesn't necessarily know what is the optimal way to deal with any given situation.

The dynamic seems to be that he is the bearer of unfathomable amounts of power/mana, but he needs his allies to "channel" it through. He doesn't seem particularly combat oriented, although there is a certain sequence in the prologue that makes him look very competent. Perhaps we will see his combat ability down the line.


The Romance:
A lot of time is spend with MC and the girls trying to figure out how their relationship works. It's basically a harem, but while there is an obvious attraction between MC and the girls, they start out as friends, not romantic interests, with the exception of Victoria and Sarah to a certain extend.

Some girls like Jamie and Ashley are obviously infatuated but have some roadblocks, either due to exceptional circumstances or jealousy/inadequacy, that have to go through. Others like Leah and Teresa build the romance over time.

While the sex is mostly vanilla, what distinguishes it the dirty talk. It starts fairly mild, with most of the earlier scenes being very sweet, but at some point it picks up pace and it can get filthy, with a lot of possessiveness and dominance, with sex scenes that are implied to last for days.

Most of the sex scenes are driven by Victoria and Sarah. Along with Leah they are the source of lesbian scenes. Kieran and Mizue are also very sexually open although they don't necessarily had time to shine in that department as of Chapter 43.

The Atmosphere:
The description "psychedelic" is very accurate. The game sets the tone with 80s disco/synthwave, upbeat jpop, some jazzy segments, a lot of neon and scenes with flashing lights that add an interesting dimension, especially to the sex scenes. It's a weird combination but somehow it keeps things very.. familiar, despite all the craziness happening in the game.

The characters have their own music themes and they are distinct enough for the player to recognize what character is the protagonist in any given situation. My favorite has to be when Tsukiko enters the fray. She possesses a character who takes a white/grey tint and along with her music she really makes an incredible entrance.

Closing comments:
It's important to note that this is a fairly slow burn. Although things start escalating past a certain point, the main attraction is the story and you will probably need to take some notes in order to fully understand what is going on. The sex scenes are designed to be more "tasteful", rather than focusing on animations and angles. Additionally the game is long and while I can't guess what the endgame is, it feels like it's barely half done. The dev has a tight schedule, releasing 9-10 updates per year.

All in all, I think this is one of the best adult vns out there and it's worth 5 stars and your time.

This truly is a special game. Never in my 3 years of playing AVNs have I felt so many emotions from a single story. From happiness to sadness, from laughs to tears, from peacefulness to crippling anxiety. There are so many things that Out of Touch made me FEEL that at the end of my playthrough I found myself wanting more as a feeling of emptiness filled me, for I knew that I would never be able to experience this for the first time again.

While not without its flaws, Out of Touch is very close to what I would call a perfect game for me. The story, characters, themes, dialogue, romance build up, humor and soundtrack are all so incredibly well done that all of its shortcomings are almost completely overshadowed.

I will be dividing this review in sections and give my opinion on all of them, starting with:

Story
The story is, simply put, the best one I've ever played in any VN. This game has everything you would wish in a fantasy story: Lore that would take several pages to piece together (in a good way), complex characters with their unique stories that actually makes you care, villains who represent an actual threat to the heroes and so on. And we are not even halfway through the story yet!

Everything is so well thought out to the point where a scene in chapter 2 becomes relevant many hours later, this is absolutely impressive. And this is not the only scene, there are many other foreshadowings sprinkled around the game that have or will have an impact in the story. It is clear that the author has a clear vision of where he wants this story to go, and we are able to notice that.

Characters
The other aspect where the game beautifully excels. Like I mentioned earlier, there are no "shallow" characters here. Everyone with relevance has their own motives, background and personality completely fleshed out. The character development for each of these characters is also impressive, especially the ones who already had their arcs completed.

All the main girls in the game are extremely well written and charismatic, and I would be very suprised if anyone actually disliked one of them after completing the game. The dev manages to make us care for each and every one of them in a way that is truly special. They also feel really unique too, each having their own dynamic with each other and the MC. There is something for everybody here; Do you like a caring girl that is a freak in the sheets? You got it. Do you like a girl who is bratty but slowly opens up to the MC? You got it. Do you like a girl who has mommy vibes? You got it. Do you like the "I can fix her" trope? HOLY FUCK DO YOU GOT IT. *Ahem* Like I said, something for everybody.

And it's not only the girls that are fleshed out (even though they are like 95% of the cast), our main character, CJ, is also extremely well written. In fact, the dev managed to do something that I never thought was possible in an AVN: he managed to make the main character my favorite character in the entire game. That is probably the highest praise I could give to a character, no joke. I absolutely LOVE CJ. His personality, his story, his inner struggles, his behaviour, the way he acts, his selfless nature, his compassion, even his flaws. I could go on and on about the things I love about this beautiful man and it would still not be enough to truly make you understand how much I love this character. All I'm going to say is: I get why these girls love him so much.

He may not be everyone's cup of tea though. At the beginning of the game you could say he is quite dumb and this may be a turn off for people who don't like this trope and don't have much patience. But I can promise you that he truly grows thoughout the story, in almost every aspect. The CJ at the current version is a very different guy compared to the one in the beginning, while still maintaining his essence and charisma.

Romance and Sex
If you are someone who prioritizes romance in these games, you will have a blast playing this. OoT has one of the best romance build ups I've ever seen in any game. It is a slow burn while not being a blueballs simulator. Everything feels right and earned when things do happen. The sex doesn't feel "free" or forced and every sex scene so far servers a purpose (maybe with one exception that I will not go into detail because of spoilers), whether it is as a climax to the romance with the girl in question, for story exposition or even as a way to deepen the relationships even more. The dialogue during the sex scenes is also great, being more than just moans and comments on dick size.

If you are here only for the porn however, you will not have a good time. The sex scenes are very spread out and sometimes you will spend hours going through the story to reach another one. This is NOT a fap game.

Other aspects of the game
The soundtrack is extremely good with a wide range of songs. There is hype music, combat music, emotional music and so on. It's also important to note that the game knows how to use these tracks during the scenes, so it will never break your immersion playing a a happy song during a depressing moment or vice versa.

The UI is also very well made. If it wasn't for the tag in the first page, I probably wouldn't have noticed it was Unity instead of Ren'py. The only issue I have with it is that you can't scroll back after loading a save, but it's not that big of a deal.

What I didn't like
Not much to say here but there's a couple of things that bothered me.

There is a lot of cussing in this game, to the point where it sometimes breaks your immersion when you notice the amount of "fuck" "fucking ____" "crap" "what the fuck" in almost consecutive lines. Almost every character here cusses a LOT, with only a few exceptions. It sometimes takes me away from emotional moments because of it, especially in the beginning. After a some time I kinda got used to it but there would still be moments where I would notice it.

This next one doesn't bother me that much but since I don't want to pass the impression that I'm a fanboy I will adress it. Sometimes I feel like the narration goes on a bit too long. Not only that, but there were moments where the narrator's name wasn't shown until later so I couldn't really feel connected to what was being said. When the name was finally revealed I had to load a save and read everything again but this time with the character in mind. This happened I think two or three times. This was mostly a problem at the first 20 or so chapter and since then it has gotten better.

Conclusion
This game is a MUST for someone looking for a memorable story and characters. Every aspect of the game comes together to form a truly beautiful masterpiece filled with drama, plot twists and crazy moments.

Out of Touch is undoubtedly the best AVN I've ever played and one of the best stories I've ever had the pleasure to know in all of media.

This is the one guys. This is the only truly Adult Game I have ever played.

You don't go into this expecting a wank and go about your day. You get invested. You make time, maybe even call in a sick day. Because you just can't get this story out of your head.

Every element comes together. The characters, the world-building, the story, the villains, the MUSIC, the visuals. When the first proper sex scene appears hours and hours into the game all I could think of is how happy I am for these two. How much they deserve this sensual moment to them selves. This continued on much later into the game, even when sex becomes more casual.

This is a story about people, about fantasy, about friendship and family, the sex is just a part of the story like everything else. It deals with incredibly heavy themes and isn't afraid to explore them. The consequences of sexual assault is a very sensitive topic for me, and seeing it in this game from the very first scenes quite worried me. But my fears were quickly culled as it became apparent with how much respect this subject is told and it only made me appreciate this game even more. Even then the game manages to be funny as hell sometimes, and I seriously never played something that made me cry both tears of joy and sadness this frequently. I can't believe I used my tissues for their intended purpose.

The characters are what truly drives this story forward. The amount of actual love and care they have for each other is outright magical and makes you wish you could be a part of this group. From simply hanging out to having tough conversations with each other, it's impossible not to get invested. The MC is absolutely fantastic. At first it was hard to take the name "CJ" seriously (not to mention his full name) but it quickly grew on me. His personality is believable and inspiring, if anyone on earth actually "deserves" a harem it would be this guy. I highly appreciate the game taking it's time to introduce sex, as it gives you the needed time to truly appreciate these characters and want to see them enjoy them selves.

The MUSIC. It's perfect, what can I say. I love synths and clearly the dev does too. I was incredibly impressed with just how much of this game's soundtrack is original, expecting the usual stock music we always hear on this site. The fact that I've been listening to so many of this game's tracks on my free time through the dev's Youtube channel is a testament to it's quality.

Something else of note is the astonishing job they did with Koikatsu. I was honestly under the impression that I've seen everything Koi games have to offer, but the dev's impressive model work and god-tier framing made me constantly forget how familiar I was with this engine. This game is better at delivering it's impactful moments through still images then much bigger games do with full animations and more developers.

Last thing would be a personal suggestion, although it's of course not 100% necessary. I would appreciate a menu that includes a list of characters with their names, pictures and maybe small descriptions. This is because in a game as long as this with this many characters, sometimes I would simply forget a characters name and wouldn't be sure who is being talked about. It would be especially useful when ever a new update comes out and you haven't played this game in a while.

My one and only criticism is that there's still so much story to tell that isn't made yet and I highly doubt my poor heart can hold on so long. This is a joke if you couldn't tell, I can't think of anything to actually criticize. The scope of this project is 100 chapters and we're not halfway there a few years in, never in my life have I wanted a game to be completed already this badly.

Overall this is incredibly special. Never in my wildest dreams would I fathom I'd find a game on this site I might actually want to not only admit I played to my real life partner and friends but also recommend. The amount of love that went into this is unquestioned and I just can't stop thinking about it.

tldr: 1st act conflict is so good that it makes literally everything after it look like complete garbage when the rug gets pulled from beneath your expectations. Not enough sex to keep you in its overdone setting. Read a good YA novel instead. 10/10 intro (up to the resolution of the inciting incident), 5/10 overall. The game's title reads as entirely ironic, because the writer has their finger on your heart and then becomes completely out of touch.

So... this game is a prime example of the kitchen sink overflowing. It is very nice to look at, there was clearly a lot of craftsmanship at work, but sadly it wanted its cake, to eat it, and then to eat every other cake too.

Sadly a lot of good games with simple and beautiful dramatic groundwork fall victim to this explosion of goofy garbage. This game had an excellent start, and I do mean excellent. The opening conflict is so gripping and I couldn't stop until I saw where it went. The introduction of was a hilarious little moment to break up the severity, but didn't really interrupt the drama and was just a bit of fun. Little did I realize it also sadly opened the door for the writer to use biggest crutch in all AVNs... sudden fantasy bullshit.

EDIT: I am using hyperbole when I say "sudden". The fantasy elements are set up from the start, but they go from a light sprinkling on top of a good story to becoming the entire driving force behind the story. Once the character's motivations take a backseat to the magic plot we've all seen before, I got out of the car. /EDIT

Don't get me wrong, fantasy bullshit can be very fun, but the whiplash in this one is jarring. The dad thing near the start does it for fun, but with that aside the tone was set for a really good, simple friendship drama with a lot of good (and hot) characters and an excellent inciting incident ripe with great interactions and so much potential for more. However, once this initial drama hits its climax, the game immediately cracks its established world in half because from what I can tell, most of these writers have no idea how to have conflict in their harem story without falling into garbage cliche fantasy god/demon/dimension conflicts because they are too scared of monotonous melodrama. I've played plenty of games that did eventually get stale from lack of good conflict, but I still prefer that to whatever the hell this is. And it was extra disappointing considering how stellar the beginning was.

I literally skipped through the entire first overproduced sidetrack montage into the fantasy garbage because I was trying to get back to the real story and just hoped it was more goofs. I was sorely mistaken, and despite making it all the way to chapter 21 I had to quit because it just wouldn't stop.

All the seeds were there and each had so much potential, but they were planted in bad, overused soil. I cannot in good conscious recommend this even over so many more poorly made games if only because I'd rather be mildly entertained by a casual story than be so disappointed by something that promised to be better. It's just bloated, and completely fails to recapture the high bar set in its intro. There isn't enough sex (next to none FYI) to keep me going through the very boring magical bullshit plot. If it had started with that, this would be a 9/10, and maybe for a lot of you it still is, but for me it barely scrapes a 5 out as it clotheslines itself on that set bar. Go read a real fantasy novel because this doesn't capitalize on anything it promised by the amazing first act or what is expected out of AVN entertainment in general.

Played up to Chapter 21:
Pros:
- Incredible introductory conflict
- Well designed, fleshed-out, cute, and interesting characters
- Realistic and character appropriate dialogue
- Great production design
- No shitty grind mechanics

Cons:
- Sudden magical bullshit
- Takes its magical bullshit entirely too seriously (after introducing it in the least serious way imaginable)
- Tone deaf twists
- Only 1 sex scene (2 more technically but they aren't given enough time or effort to count. This wouldn't matter if the magical bullshit wasn't there and the main plot was unique in any way)

Wasted potential is worse to me than no potential at all. I'd rather just jerk off.

I strongly recommend *Out of Touch*. It's a Koikatsu-based kinetic novel (meaning more linear than most VNs), but StoryAnon is particularly talented at shot composition, and pushes Koi to its limits. It's built in Unity to support animated combat segments in the future, though right now there is only a single proof-of-concept fight at a key moment in an early arc. The developer has also put a lot of effort into the musical selection for the game, with a number of pieces being commissioned specifically for it.

The story is about a group of friends (one boy, a whole bunch of girls, and I bet you can see where this is going) reconnecting after a long separation. Then it starts getting *really* wild. The story takes its time to build believable relationships between the cast (both with the MC and between the girls themselves). Some of the best moments are simply them bantering amongst themselves as friends. Initially it's rather light on the lewd scenes, but as the story progresses they start coming (ba-dum-tish) increasingly often, and there is care to make each unique and interesting.

A brief description of the main cast if you're somehow not sold yet:

• Sarah: A California beach blonde with a wonderful tan, who is somehow both incredibly wholesome and incredibly horny.
• Victoria: Tall, midnight-haired and built like a supermodel, with a past full of trauma she's trying to stay ahead of to be strong for her friends.
• Leah: Daughter of an aristocratic family, with all the manners, poise, and elegance that comes with it, but an ocean of anger bubbling just under the surface.
• Teresa: A timid, motherly girl with a gentle soul, a soft spot for the protagonist, and huge...well...you know.
• Ashley: A tiny, fiery redhead with boundless enthusiasm, and a drive to make her senpai hers, whatever it takes.
• Many more girls (at least three that I would consider in the "core harem" that I'll let you discover on your own) covering pretty much every archetype imaginable.
• Our protagonist, CJ, who defies description. He's probably the most interesting harem-story-hero I've seen, and certainly the most unconventional. Most importantly, he's a good person who treats his girls right. It's entirely believable that he can have such a collection of beauties doting on him.

Saw this on itch and wanted to share review here too.

Game is very colorful and very psychedelic if i am using the word properly. Feels very memey in the beginning, but as you go further along is a very good story. Lots of beautiful girls too. Feels like you are on a trip as you get further in too, almost like you are taking the road down towards a fantasy full of randomness. Keeps you on your toes and is very unpredictable. But the sex is also very nice in this too, and keeps me very interested. 5/5 stars will keep watching this.

A) How would i describe this ?
= Stupendo fantabulously phantasmagorically magical collection of pixels meant to service your heart not your crank.

B) Who should give a shit?
= You....you should. Are you like me who has played 100s of AVN and just tired of endless smashin of genatalia in every other game? are you tired of MCs and characters that are shallow and who are just horny all the time? Are you someome who wants a good plot, fucking fantastic characters and stories, action, good art, and awesome music? Then look no further. I almost slept on the game b/c it mentioned high school and we all know how those games go....but this....oh boy this is a game that is anything like high-school, it's so plot heavy on fantasy elements like gods, demons, but at the same time explores the human psyche and emotions through plethora of characters.

Pros: Beautiful and trippy art, you like anime then this is a no brainer for you, Music is so well selected, writing is top notch, insane amount of content, characters are so nicely written, MC is so fucking nice, Plot is banger!

Cons: NONE. Yes sometimes things don't make sense and some weird things happen but that further enhances immersion cuz the MC doesn't fucking know what or why's happening either lol.

Verdict: This is nothing like any other game you have played trust me. It's a MASTERPIECE! The MC actually had a huge impact on me. First, kinda made me more religious considering if there is a god who cares for you and is non-judgmental... then maybe I can love him too. Second, kinda made me curious with my taste. I always go for tacos but after seeing MC made me realize that maybe I just like someone that is a decent human who is kind, non-judgmental, patience, and gives unconditional love. So next times maybe instead of tacos I'll give chorizo a try.....


Go play it already!

Out of Touch has got to be the best-looking and well-written VN of today no question. If you like to be invested in your characters and the world they live in, then this is a story you absolutely can't miss. Each character has been crafted to a point where you can't get them confused with each other, their models are wonderfully rendered and they fit the character they embody well. This story contains many emotional story beats that keep you wanting more chapter after chapter with many laughable moments sprinkled in there. The comedy in my opinion is great however I will note that if you dislike silly moments in your otherwise serious story then you may not enjoy it as much(which is on you just saying). There are clear arcs introducing each character, for the most part from their point of view allowing you to step inside the head of the character and experience the world for yourself. The hot and heavy scenes for the most part come in in the lateish chapters of the story so if you are looking for more sex than story then I would suggest shutting up and get to reading because it doesn't just throw characters together physically without there being some connection. The quality of every render is amazing and somehow even gets better with every chapter released. The team behind it is currently working on adding combat to the game as well as adding animations to the scenes currently in the game. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with a functioning brain that likes quality stories.

Great story, Great visuals, Great Music, and obviously a lot of passion into this project. I didn't know what to make of it a t first but It's proven to be a very touching and engrossing story. Truly not just "another porn game" but a true work of art

I downloaded because I saw a big titty girl with a sword and stayed because, damn, the story is actually so good. I binged this in 3-4 days.

The characters are really good and compelling. Lots of juicy trauma drama. I found myself saying "oh you poor thing" quite a lot. This is very much a story game and it does take a bit of time to build up but the pay off is worth it.

Honestly, I'm not even all that interested in the sex part, not to say that it's bad or anything I'm just more invested in the story and the characters.

It can get a bit psychedelic at times, especially during the climaxes of arcs and when it does, it gets a bit hard to understand what's going on. Not the biggest deal but it does get a bit distracting.

Every now and then there's a meme thrown in an otherwise serious point which can also take you out of it a bit but it's ok, not a big deal.

Very much looking forward to seeing where this goes.

also Jamie's newest outfit (as of ch41) is fantastic and I'm loving the character progression.

Absolutely one of the best AVNs out there. You may be turned off by the art style, or the humor in the prologue, or the implication of NTR. Do youself a favor and play the game anyway. you'll be hooked a few hours in. Excellent writing and art that is far better than your average Koi game.

An excellent story-driven game. Has some really cheesy scenes and weird transitions but the absence of mediocre minigames and the strong characters make it a great game to binge through. Some scenes will make you think the game is just one big shit-post and tbh some of it is but it also contains some really serious scenes to contrast that and it makes you wanna find out what happens next. The best part about the game is the characters. They all develop in some way throughout the story and become closer to each other. I can say that even some characters that came across intially as just stereotypical assholes were much deeper than I first thought. All in all, it is the best game I have played on this site and one of the few games I have played that actually made me care about fictional characters.

I usually dont like the artstyle and usually dont like the engine. Not really into anime too (only dbz). Usually i shouldnt like this game. And i prefer games which more choices and branches.

But it just doesnt matter. This game is fucking AWESOME! If you like avns and good storys you will love this game no matter what. Its one of the best.

Super emotional and deep story and characters, hilarious crazy villains, deep bonds and friendships and great twists.

Super fast updates (every month), the dev deserves way more support!

Yeah, dont want to spoil anything, just play it already!

While the writing and art are very good, first 20 chaps feel like a huge waste of time. Obviously I am not fit to lecture people and especially this author on how to write games, but I think you need to have porn in your porn game. Basically, at ch22 it feels like a 4 hour long intro and i don't think that a disclaimer justifies this. And it's a damn shame cause the game is really good and at the same time barely playable.

Essentially, this is a kinetic novel so there's no choices that change the way the story moves on. There is not much in regards to sex scenes compared to the actual content in the game but the story itself is great, intriguing, and definitely keeps you hooked.

I admit at first thought, I assumed this game would bore me due to the art style as I'm not a huge fan of the anime-esque characters. But, playing through the game and experiencing the story, even with the comedic and dumb moments, definitely changed my mind and kept me intrigued and wanting to read more. I do feel like the story and progression also helps enhance the sex scenes that eventually come up and make them feel way better.

I enjoyed this game for what it was and hoping the game continues on well.

This is a great game with a tremendous amount of story.

I passed over this game several times due to its art style and my neutrality towards the harem tag. However, the game quickly assuaged my biases as it blasted me in the face with 80s Japanese music and vaporwave aesthetic before introducing a cast of compelling characters and a believable world.

I recommend this game to anyone willing to initially tolerate a bit of teenage drama, so the story can take you on an adventure through the minds of a bunch of hot, young adults with an incredible amount of daddy/mommy issues.

Genuinely excellent writing, well off the charts of what you'd tend to find in an H-game - particularly in how it approaches certain topics, early on. It takes its time exploring its cast in with its feet firmly on the ground, waiting until you've made a genuine connection to these people before the fantastic and bizarre begins to creep in. Well, except for CJ Senior. Though even that, in its ridiculous tonal whiplash, somehow works, despite having absolutely no right to.

Not a game for a quick fap, maybe not for a fap at all, but absolutely worth experiencing on its own merit.

I wanted to enjoy this game, as the renders are good with some great character designs. The issue is the plot, both in terms of quality and quantity.
So I didn't mind the story the game is trying to tell, however there is way too much, the dialogue feels extremely stretched out and my interest was completely gone after around 20 chapters of the game.
TLDR; story sucks and there's way too much, characters and renders are good
