VN Unity Out of Touch! [v3.91.1] [Story Anon]

[Aeon_RHS]

Again this is just me liking the story so much that I wanted to talk about it but I can't really do that with my friends since I'm the only degenerate on here far as I know

While my friends aren't on F95 I am 3 for 3 in convincing some to play AVNs, the last of which I started off with Pale Carnations. You can do it!

this game made me laugh so much... and I love it!

I was laughing so hard, that was the moment when I decided to really give the story time to develop.

Hello, what a great community, does anyone know if there is a Spanish translation available for this nv?

A big hello to all!

There's one up to chapter 10 on the Discord, there's quite a lot of Spanish speaking people on the server.
But the majority of the game is untranslated.

Hi Story Anon

First I would like to say, this is a well developed story based game anime. I don't find faults with your game. But, I have to mention this is a "Kinetic Novel" not a VN, VN should have choices of dialogues that have impact on the story, or paths to choose for MC, change the way character behaves based on choices. But, this game does not have any of those, I played like 15 Chapters in , and I see your effort in building this game and it's good. I would appreciate, you mention few things in the OP, like it is Multiple POV tag, like you have to go through different characters perspective, Not just one , but each one has their own point of views, which makes it good for story telling, which is good for a Kinetic Novel. But, that is not part of choice based VN. If this is tagged as KN, and many tags are missing, especially the MultiProtag or Multi POV, that is important. Kindly adjust them, so people who go into the game expecting a VN and see slow burn KN, don't get disappointed and reduce your game review which might be not fair to you. As the game is good on its own accord, just not as it is advertised. . Thank you

And the Trailer was more like intro on characters available in the game, which is not a bad thing, but I was expecting something along the lines of what this game is about. But, as a first time watching the trailer without knowing anything about the game, it would be helpful to have that impression. But, after playing the game coming back to see the characters in trailer it's fine, but from what I understand new people watch the trailer for first impressions to understand what the game content is like or story is about . Anyhow no need to focus too much on trailer as we can totally skip trailer altogether and just play the game as it has not much impact , if we decide to check out the game after looking at images samples.

Edit: I am elaborating on what I wanted to talk about Trailer, as it was not clear earlier.

There are no big changes but there are some things that affect what scenes you see in later chapters a little. And you're only through like 15%-20% of the game current content by the way. First 15 chapters are very short and are more like extended prologue.

And it was explained just a few posts above why female protag/multiple protag tags are not there.

And the Teasor Trailer, makes no sense, maybe update it.

What?

Yeah mate I hate to break it to you but there are choices that do matter within the game even if it ain't asking you to pick CKs sock colour or giving you the ability to rename him "Big Chungus".

The protagonists tags are how F95 decided they should be because when it used to have those tags you want people would bitch and moan constantly. Turns out that the female protagonist tag is mainly meant to represent pov for sex scenes, and sexually CJ is the pov protagonist.

And as far as the Trailer goes what in that confused you? were the words moving to fast for your brain to comprehend or something?

I've just checked kinetic novel tag, and... Huh... Most games with that tag have VN prefix too. You must be confused visual novel with dating sim.
And there is no way to put kinetic tag, because Out of Touch has open world segments. I don't wanna see here kinetic novel fans do they even exist? melting down from open world in their kinetic novel

True, trailer lacks Cro. Give more Cro

If you don't do something in Chapter 2 you miss scenes across the game. So.. checkmate atheists.

While i can't dispute what you said about KN and VN, as i really am not knowledgeable enough about it, i can say that If you're specifically looking for big branching, this may not be the prefect story for you (check out Pale Carnations if you haven't, they started doing in recent updates after an amazing build up)

However, if you enjoy immersive stories/books filled with foreshadowing, without intricate branching paths, then Chapter 15 is just the tip of the iceberg. Think of it as character buildup in an anime, like Steins;Gate (the anime) up to episode 7 (or is it 13?). If this appeals to you, delve into chapters 16-22, where the true essence of the story unfolds. If you do decide to read them, I would be thrilled to hear your thoughts.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions on other games and giving some insight on how this particular game progresses. I have played Pale Carnations. I was not in particular looking for big branching games, but as you said, maybe just going through first 15 chapters, which turns out from your explanation is like a prologue, maybe there are meaningful choices in later chapters. I am not against content like this game, this is a good story and feels more like I am watching anime. But, I was expecting more as other games which had a set choices of dialogues to choose from, when we interact with other characters. Not particularly in dating sims alone, but also other games there usually comes up two choice of actions or dialogues and you can choose one of those. But, I understand now that 1-15 chapters being prologue, it doesn't give much dialogue choices and maybe further down it does. Quick question though, does this game end up with Love interests having sexual relations with each other or other than CJ?

The LI's have relations with each other within the polycule. but no other males or anyone outside the group

If MFF and MFFF are too much for you, then yes, this game is absolutely not for you.

 

[asmrfan23]

MFF? THAT'S NTR

MFF? THAT'S NTR

HOW CAN I FAP IF THERE IS NOTHING BUT HOT GIRLS ON MY SCREEN!

Like i said, this is less of a choice/branch game, but the story is incredible.

Let me know if you kept going!

I have to mention this is a "Kinetic Novel" not a VN, VN should have choices of dialogues that have impact on the story, or paths to choose for MC, change the way character behaves based on choices.

There are a few impactful choices (mainly you can lock yourself out of some sex scenes if you don't explore the entire open world segment, or later if you are a moron and turn down sex with a certain new harem applicant). But yeah, they aren't really proper "branches". There is open world stuff, but that's mainly just more story arranged in such a way that you have the option of reading shit in a confusing order if you want.

So, you're not wrong, BUT.....

The big thing is combat. Right now we just have the one placeholder combat in ch15, which looks pretty nice but isn't exactly Halo. However, on the Discord the dev has been trickling out the sprites and plans and even some stats for the combat engine, and it looks pretty good. My understanding is that once he gets the assets generated he is going to start adding quite a bit of combat - most (or even all?) of the fight scenes will have a combat option, which should be pretty cool. It also helps flesh out the lore to understand that certain characters have certain battle functions-- Teresa is a debuffer, CJ is a mana supplier, Kieran is a DPS tank, etc.

If you've gotten to Chapter 15, you've already passed several choices that will impact how the game plays out over the next few hours. That's why there are open world segments in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 7. Your actions in these segments matter.
Some of those exact choices keep affecting the player experience until Chapter 35, which is 20+ hours later.

So no, it's not a Kinetic Novel. You simply misunderstand how and where the choices in this game are.

If you're looking for constant, lazy, illusionary choices like WVM then no, you're not going to get those. I am not going to put in a button every 15 minutes asking the player if they want to experience this particular content or not. I respect the intelligence of my player and I hope you can appreciate doing the same for me.

And the Trailer was more like intro on characters available in the game, which is not a bad thing, but I was expecting something along the lines of what this game is about. But, as a first time watching the trailer without knowing anything about the game, it would be helpful to have that impression.

Edit: I am elaborating on what I wanted to talk about Trailer, as it was not clear earlier.

There are multiple trailers now, if you check out my Youtube channel that the first one is hosted on. The first one focuses on the main characters as that is precisely what the entire game is about on more levels than is apparent.

But, I understand now that 1-15 chapters being prologue, it doesn't give much dialogue choices and maybe further down it does.

Like I said, there were multiple impactful choices that you make by either doing or not doing certain content in Ch1, Ch2 and Ch7 already, some of which only pay off hours later.

Maybe you're too used to low quality games and expect the same treatment from my game, which would be a shame.

Quick question though, does this game end up with Love interests having sexual relations with each other or other than CJ?

All this talk of tags and you didn't see the lesbian tag?

Yeah the girls in the harem will fool around with each other as well as CJ. Don't play this game if that bothers you.
