VN - Unity - Out of Touch! [v3.58] [Story Anon]

Great game. It went by way too fast, I wish there was more! Not a fap game by any means, it's a serious VN with a very promising gameplay system that just hasn't been fully integrated yet. The setting is super cool, it's set in the future but has an 80s revitalization kinda vibe with a well fitting soundtrack featuring some classic city-pop and synthwave jams among other stuff. The characters are the high-point of this VN, they're all complex and well fleshed out with their own personal goals and issues. Lots of drama, emotional moments, and humor but it never feels cheap or half-assed, the bonds that the characters share with each other are genuine and can give some intense feels at times. Character renders and facial expressions are absolutely gorgeous and well varied, it's really amazing what some devs have been able to do with Koikatsu. No sandboxy time wasting or grind here, the story flows extremely well with no repetition or filler. Obviously I'd like to see more sexual content(you know where we are, right?) because the girls are super hot, but this VN doesn't even need it with the quality of writing it delivers. I heard this game may end at 100 chapters which makes me quite sad, because after 19 it feels like things are just getting started in this awesome world.

TLDR - Read it, enjoy it, sub to the patreon

This story is tender, raw, and emotional. It does not shy away from touching on sensitive topics. At times, it is insanely beautiful. The art is also done very well. But the thing that stands out to me the most is the music selection: that is truly excellent and elevates many of the scenes.

But don't let that fool you. It's not a completely serious story. It's also lighthearted at times, silly even. There is not a lot whole lot of erotic content at the moment but personally, I don't think this story even truly needs it. It is quite unique and imaginative.

Very engaging and compelling first chapter. Wasn't too big on the shift in tone afterwards, but it doesn't take away from the artstyle, and cool characters. There is a lot to offer in this game, but it is definitely an acquired taste of sorts. That being said, the dev clearly knows what they're doing and I look forward to see what content they'll put out in the future.

Out of Touch! By Story Anon is a psychedelic melodramatic and comedic visual novel with a few other mechanics. As of right now it is 19 chapters long with the average chapter taking about 20 minutes each to finish, with exceptions of course. So let's hop into the fun stuff, yeah?

The story is a little "wacky", so there's your fair warning to those of you who are into the "super serious" kind of shit, it jokes around and it enjoys doing it. That's not to say there aren't emotional scenes that are ruined by jokes, because there are and they are written pretty damn good. The characters are fun.

Fair warning for the coomers; it isn't swimming in sexual content. If you're looking to splooge inside for girls at a fast rate either look elsewhere for that fix or accept the little it has and enjoy it for what it is, yeah?

I'm not gonna spoil shit, play the game.

one my favorite games by far. love the combination of its lighthearted and goofy moments along the more risky topics.its great to see it being more story driven getting you attached to its characters rather then just sex. makes the sex more believable and impactful. hope to see more good things from this dev.

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!
