so i'm not technically done yet but i'm at the beginning of chapter 44 so i think i have seen enough to comment on how i'm enjoying it so far.
if i am to try and sum it in just a couple words i actually think this game is great honestly. the start is pretty rough i'm not gonna lie the characters are so emotionally fragile that a stiff breeze could break them down into a crying fit. the descriptions of the main cast felt mostly like a "look at me i'm a rebellious teen i smoke and steal and have this tragic family life that no one understands." and in general felt like the emotional beats were rushed .
the best part about the beginning honestly is the tongue in cheek feel any time CJ's dad shows up. and i'm actually a bit sad that that cheesiness disappears entirely at some point cause it mixed some levity to some of the heavier moments.
if i were to pin point the big points it gets better at story wise i would say the first good arc was the one focused on jamie and became fantastic around the one focused on leah. the lore of the world is actually really cool and feels like it ties together really well.
it's funny in the sense that as a porn game it's kinda meh with a couple pretty hot still frames but nothing that really speaks to me to much in an erotic sense. but as a just straight story that just happens to have erotic elements attached to it it's actually pretty great.
the characters still feel pretty vulnerable emotionally from start to finish but the later parts feel much more natural and there is good reason for it. while it starts off pretty cheesy over time it actually starts to lean more and more in to an almost Lovecraftian horror feel without the tentacles.
carpo in particular gave me a very hastur the king in yellow vibe and i'm not sure if that was intentional or not. the back story for each girls parents in every arc are just good stand alone short stories honestly but get even better with how they tie into the main one. i can really appreciate how things can be painted black and one at one point and then later it gets so much more complex that it really makes you think about how you might have reflexively hated someone before .
reading this you can almost see how a writer improves in real time as each chapter gets better and better than the last. so much so that it's hard to even believe it's the same person at the start to where i am now.
to be honest it wouldn't shock me if the author started this either in highschool or fresh out of it with all the stuff that screamed rebellious teen energy and what feels like a fair amount of anime influence with jojo in particular being a stand out. and then as they spent more time as an adult that maturity bled into their writing over time.
this might be a bit incoherent to read as it was mainly me just dumping my thoughts out into this review as they come to me. i'll probably be leaving this for chapters to stack after this arc cause i kinda don't want to get caught in a mid arc cliff hanger.
to anyone reading this and thinking about playing this game i would say its pretty rough at the start but if you stick it out for a couples hours it's actually really freaking good. and with how short the chapters are at the start you might think this is much shorter than it actually is cause somewhere around the 20's to 30's the chapter will frequently be multiple hours long.
and to the author congratz on making make such a great game and the only real advice i have is to try and fit some more levity here and there. obviously it's important to keep a consistent tone at some points but it can be almost mentally exhausting to the reader if there is a constant tension to it.
i won't even try tell you how to fit that in cause i know there so much that goes into writing well from pacing to developing characters, fitting exposition in without it just being an info dump. it was just the feeling i had while reading like i enjoyed everything happening but the good moments like when the main cast was turning the tables or them just getting up to silly antic was so short lived i almost don't even get the chance to breath it in before the tension of danger or drama rears it's head again.
again your doing a great job and i'm excited to see where this goes and i got full confidence i'm gonna enjoy whatever comes next.
for what it's worth i do love the dark parts and i suppose it does depend on how you read it but i tend to binge stuff like this for hours on end and being kind of mentaly high strung for that long can be a bit exhausting. to be honest i wrapped the arc i was on not too long ago i really liked how it went and that didn't have much levity at all so it might just be that i need to take more breaks lol.
i got a bit into the next arc that appears to be focused on kieran and sarah if you don't mind do you know when that arc ends? just want to do the arc in one sitting if i can so i don't get stuck on a cliff hanger.
wanted to ask if you touched up some early parts of the game at some point. i played the first big arc around a year or so ago and i don't remember flashes of some shadowy figure that looks like they have animal ears at the very start. i could of just forgotten but i feel like that's new.
just at the very start atm and ill probably give a full thoughts/ review here when i'm done. i was just curious on if you had gone back to touch up older stuff.
That's because the overall size of this game is more than 7GB, and Android cannot run applications of that size, unless you can update the application with just one click like in Playstore.
Alright, I'm still before chapter 10, but holly fuck, had to come here. This started weird, what a freacking acid trip, and at first I kinda hated the change you made to the MC, like, I thought "he was better the cute but nice one" and then... Then every line changed my mind, he's dumb AF and I love him. And the story... Damn, you got me crying some 5 times so far, and not in a bad way. Just came to say, thank you for the game, it's been surprising, and surprisingly fun, and surprisingly deep, for as silly and crazy as it is.
fuck me i dont know how you where able write such a story, but i actually cried after playing it, im still not done but maaaaaaan this is genius.
Only one other vn made me feel such emotions as this, it was lessons in love, and for me lessons in love is the purest schizo shit ever, so you are reading this and thinking about downloading OOT
DO IT
and if you have any money subscribe to this beautiful bastards patreon or subscriber star.
Holy shit, I wasn't expecting the narrative to punch me in the gut that many times, that quickly in succession. In just the first few chapters....damn.
Just finished this game man but fckin damn anon ya fckin cooked the voice acting is just fckin good top notch I meant it that really played it well especially at the onsen part in chp15 damn I don't know if ya chance the voice line or not but damn that was damn good cro's voice acting was really good I can't even get enough of it now to the main part I love ya game bro everything I love it especially when there's some comedy times and plus the writing too damn ya made it good too and plus the soundtracks too I like it a lot it fit it well especially Cj's theme music damn that was iconic and plus the emotional stuff too shiyi that got me crying cuz some other scenes is I can relate a lot plus gotta give credit to you cuz all the backstory of each characters was well written there's some bad shit out of it and there's some sad shits but still I learned somethings too but ngl really this game made me tear a bit not just a bit but maybe a lot I'm just happy that I played this game man this is really good every characters are good they fit well.
And sorry for my long ass comment again I loved your game and everything is just good I even feel like that I'm part of the story fck Haha but still Can't wait for the next chapter and I can't also wait about who really is Jacob Roberts cuz CJ and him are a lot familiar can't say this because idk maybe I might spoil some new players but still I loved it and I can't wait for the next chapter!
If you’re on android just download installer 5. Otherwise you have to do full download if you missed an update, maybe try your luck with older patron posts and see if links are still up.
Autosave works for everyone. Did you turn it off in settings? Even when turned off it autosaves in certain situations, such as victory in combat or exitting the game. Where are you checking for auto save slots? You have to press A button in the load menu (it is NOT available in save menu for obvious reasons).
I suspect you were trying to open auto save page from save menu instead of load menu. I’ve had plenty of people report auto saves do not work who did that.
Lo e intentado descargar mas de 10 veces y no me permite despues de 5 Gb, se cansela y me mencina que nesesito tener permitido la descarga y no me deja alguna recomendación
I tried installing this the way it says, but it didn't work saying it was made for an older version of Android. (I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 by the way)
When did you download it? Does it upen installer application and only fail at the end? If installers can run but fail at the end - you might’ve downloaded on the first day when wrong version was uploaded, download update apk, delete Out_of_Touch/Game.apk file on your phone and install update apk. Otherwise I have no idea.
How did it fail? Did it open app and install assets but then failed to install runtime? If so, check if Out_of_Touch/Game.apk file exists and install it manually, if it doesn’t exist then you have overzealous antivirus deleting game apk before it’s installed. Or did it not open app at all? The error you’re getting is normal, it’s impossbie to build app using new android api because it doesn’t allow file system access at all.
If you’re on android just download update installer - it’s listed separately. If you’re on previous update then it will just install new content. If you’re more than 1 update behind it will tell you which installers to download to install missing content (usually it will require only the last installer, so if you know you’re several updates behind - just download last installer and if it’s not enough it will tell you which ones to download)
Lemme just say this first: I really like it. The writing is super good and engaging, although I will say (as a young adult here) that the swearing is comically over the top. Like, I'm not gonna say it's Vivziepop levels, but it might be approaching that.
Secondly: I fucking love that CJ's ringtone (in like one scene) is a Bloody Stream midi, please use that more in the future, when it first played I was genuinely just thinking about how he felt a little bit like Joseph and was utterly shocked and amazed.
That's the first time I've ever gotten a recommendation for another game in a reply to one of these comments (I leave them quite often), so this is a nice surprise. Thanks, I'll give it a shot!
Damn can't stop playing and reading this kind of game First AHouseInTheRift, Freshwomen, HaremHotel, BeingADIK, OnceInALifeTime, ActingLessons, Artemis, MyBullyIsMyLover, Eternum, Summer'sGone, ChasingSunset, ProjektPassion, and now OutOfTouch, I need more updates of this.
The game was great until I was forcefully put into the save menu for the 8th time without even tapping on anything... Nothing is more frustrating than the sense of lossing control, please can you fix this for android I don't know what is doing it but it's almost unplayable because one moment I'm playing the game then bam im in the save menu again, ive gone into the settings and i think it's the input menu playing up since i cant change those setting on android...
I've figured it out it's a stupid double tap function can there be a way to turn it off my big hands are being registered as two fingers from the way I hold my phone and it's unavoidable because no matter how I hold my phone I'm going to end up tapping the screen twice
Hi, the game is just super! The soundtracks are just wonderful. It's like you specially added my entire music playlist to the game lmao)) I have a question: How many more chapters do you plan to add?
For some reasons, been trying to play the game uncensored for months now without success... No matter what I do I always get the black screen edition for sex scenes...

I'm stuck in an animation in chapter 15, it keeps freezing on an attack animation from Cro Dhearg, what do I do??
Doesn't it have animated sex scenes?
Or only sex scenes sliding through frames?
Uhm do i need to allow all folder when i downloaded it?
linux?
That Japanese hip-hop techno funky BGM at the mall was TOO GROOVY~ 🎶🎶🗿🗿🎶🗿🎶🗿
I was unable to focus on the VN lmao
*focus lost & imma groovin' 🎶🗿🎶🗿🎶🎶🗿🎶🎶🎶🗿
so i'm not technically done yet but i'm at the beginning of chapter 44 so i think i have seen enough to comment on how i'm enjoying it so far.
if i am to try and sum it in just a couple words i actually think this game is great honestly. the start is pretty rough i'm not gonna lie the characters are so emotionally fragile that a stiff breeze could break them down into a crying fit. the descriptions of the main cast felt mostly like a "look at me i'm a rebellious teen i smoke and steal and have this tragic family life that no one understands." and in general felt like the emotional beats were rushed .
the best part about the beginning honestly is the tongue in cheek feel any time CJ's dad shows up. and i'm actually a bit sad that that cheesiness disappears entirely at some point cause it mixed some levity to some of the heavier moments.
if i were to pin point the big points it gets better at story wise i would say the first good arc was the one focused on jamie and became fantastic around the one focused on leah. the lore of the world is actually really cool and feels like it ties together really well.
it's funny in the sense that as a porn game it's kinda meh with a couple pretty hot still frames but nothing that really speaks to me to much in an erotic sense. but as a just straight story that just happens to have erotic elements attached to it it's actually pretty great.
the characters still feel pretty vulnerable emotionally from start to finish but the later parts feel much more natural and there is good reason for it. while it starts off pretty cheesy over time it actually starts to lean more and more in to an almost Lovecraftian horror feel without the tentacles.
carpo in particular gave me a very hastur the king in yellow vibe and i'm not sure if that was intentional or not. the back story for each girls parents in every arc are just good stand alone short stories honestly but get even better with how they tie into the main one. i can really appreciate how things can be painted black and one at one point and then later it gets so much more complex that it really makes you think about how you might have reflexively hated someone before .

again your doing a great job and i'm excited to see where this goes and i got full confidence i'm gonna enjoy whatever comes next.
Thank you.
I’m a little old to have started writing this in high school, but this project is my first piece of fiction.
If you would like some more levity in my style, check out my other game Tropicali which is *much* lighter in tone throughout the game
for what it's worth i do love the dark parts and i suppose it does depend on how you read it but i tend to binge stuff like this for hours on end and being kind of mentaly high strung for that long can be a bit exhausting. to be honest i wrapped the arc i was on not too long ago i really liked how it went and that didn't have much levity at all so it might just be that i need to take more breaks lol.
i got a bit into the next arc that appears to be focused on kieran and sarah if you don't mind do you know when that arc ends? just want to do the arc in one sitting if i can so i don't get stuck on a cliff hanger.
It ends on November 30th (for patrons) with the release of Ch50+51.
thx so much i'm looking forward to it
wanted to ask if you touched up some early parts of the game at some point. i played the first big arc around a year or so ago and i don't remember flashes of some shadowy figure that looks like they have animal ears at the very start. i could of just forgotten but i feel like that's new.
just at the very start atm and ill probably give a full thoughts/ review here when i'm done. i was just curious on if you had gone back to touch up older stuff.
What's the requirements for Android? I got a 4/128 and an octa-core processor. Will the game run smoothly on my phone?
Why tf does the Android version has 5 installers
That's because the overall size of this game is more than 7GB, and Android cannot run applications of that size, unless you can update the application with just one click like in Playstore.
Alright, I'm still before chapter 10, but holly fuck, had to come here. This started weird, what a freacking acid trip, and at first I kinda hated the change you made to the MC, like, I thought "he was better the cute but nice one" and then...

Just came to say, thank you for the game, it's been surprising, and surprisingly fun, and surprisingly deep, for as silly and crazy as it is.
Best game ever !!!
(Chapter 49) Well shit, that escalated quickly...
fuck me i dont know how you where able write such a story, but i actually cried after playing it, im still not done but maaaaaaan this is genius.

Have a good day my fellow degenerates.
Holy shit, I wasn't expecting the narrative to punch me in the gut that many times, that quickly in succession. In just the first few chapters....damn.
Through chapter 4, very nice so far!
Just finished this game man but fckin damn anon ya fckin cooked the voice acting is just fckin good top notch I meant it that really played it well especially at the onsen part in chp15 damn I don't know if ya chance the voice line or not but damn that was damn good cro's voice acting was really good I can't even get enough of it now to the main part I love ya game bro everything I love it especially when there's some comedy times and plus the writing too damn ya made it good too and plus the soundtracks too I like it a lot it fit it well especially Cj's theme music damn that was iconic and plus the emotional stuff too shiyi that got me crying cuz some other scenes is I can relate a lot plus gotta give credit to you cuz all the backstory of each characters was well written there's some bad shit out of it and there's some sad shits but still I learned somethings too but ngl really this game made me tear a bit not just a bit but maybe a lot I'm just happy that I played this game man this is really good every characters are good they fit well.

What the hell even is this game XD! I love it sooooo much! On chapter four atm!
为啥没中文
为啥不学英文
amazing! I just finished Chapter 5, but I've already in love with it
Any chance this will have a Linux version for the Itch app?
No, use Wine/proton with dxvk, it’s better than native linux version could ever be.
What folder do saves go to on Android?
Out_of_Touch/Savesin your external storage home folder.Also if you want exact full path - you can see it in Help menu.
Where can I download the previous updates? I'm on 3.21 and unable to switch to 3.36 without having 3.28.
If you’re on android just download installer 5. Otherwise you have to do full download if you missed an update, maybe try your luck with older patron posts and see if links are still up.
Im so confused who is the mc? (Nvm found out the start was hella confusing tho (ps the autosave doesnt work)
Autosave works for everyone. Did you turn it off in settings? Even when turned off it autosaves in certain situations, such as victory in combat or exitting the game. Where are you checking for auto save slots? You have to press
Abutton in the load menu (it is NOT available in save menu for obvious reasons).yea no it works now it just didnt work at the start but it seem to have fixed itself
I suspect you were trying to open auto save page from save menu instead of load menu. I’ve had plenty of people report auto saves do not work who did that.
oh might be oh well guess we will never find out haha
por cierto es una laptop windows 10

Can you show error? And tell me if installer runs but fails or if it doesn’t run at all?
It runs, but this pops up:
And when I tried installing anyway I failed.
How did it fail? Did it open app and install assets but then failed to install runtime? If so, check if
Out_of_Touch/Game.apkfile exists and install it manually, if it doesn’t exist then you have overzealous antivirus deleting game apk before it’s installed. Or did it not open app at all? The error you’re getting is normal, it’s impossbie to build app using new android api because it doesn’t allow file system access at all.the moment i see chad thundercock, this game is truly the best
Does it have a Spanish translation or will it have one at some point?
You can impregnate?
Yes*
invalid discord invite! let me in i want those memes!
Fixed.
It should work. We lost nitro for a bit which deleted custom link.
can anyone teach me what to do if there's an update??should i download every installer from 1-5 again??
If you’re on android just download update installer - it’s listed separately. If you’re on previous update then it will just install new content. If you’re more than 1 update behind it will tell you which installers to download to install missing content (usually it will require only the last installer, so if you know you’re several updates behind - just download last installer and if it’s not enough it will tell you which ones to download)
are there animation or al pictures? like is there movement or noo
There are animations in early chapters (up to 26). Scenes are getting updated with animations retroactively over time.
Do I have to install all android installer to play fully game or I have to install only one?
All except the update one.
Okay, so, wow, lot of thoughts about this game.
Lemme just say this first: I really like it. The writing is super good and engaging, although I will say (as a young adult here) that the swearing is comically over the top. Like, I'm not gonna say it's Vivziepop levels, but it might be approaching that.

Great game 9/10 not enough thundercock
You should try "Crimson High" if you like "Out of touch"! Story rich and much more depht than at first expected!
You will, most probably, hate the cliffhangers but every whait is worth the while! Enjoy 😉
That's the first time I've ever gotten a recommendation for another game in a reply to one of these comments (I leave them quite often), so this is a nice surprise. Thanks, I'll give it a shot!
OH MY FUCKING GOD YOUR WARNING ABOUT THE CLIFFHANGERS WAS NOT SUFFICIENT ARGGGGGGH
(very very good, early writing is a bit rough but it evens out later [that or I got used to it])
Damn can't stop playing and reading this kind of game First AHouseInTheRift, Freshwomen, HaremHotel, BeingADIK, OnceInALifeTime, ActingLessons, Artemis, MyBullyIsMyLover, Eternum, Summer'sGone, ChasingSunset, ProjektPassion, and now OutOfTouch, I need more updates of this.
Now trying Tropicali, Ripples and so on😍
Does bro know about the spacebar?????
The game was great until I was forcefully put into the save menu for the 8th time without even tapping on anything... Nothing is more frustrating than the sense of lossing control, please can you fix this for android I don't know what is doing it but it's almost unplayable because one moment I'm playing the game then bam im in the save menu again, ive gone into the settings and i think it's the input menu playing up since i cant change those setting on android...
I think you may be accidentally touching the screen with two fingers.
Completely unavoidable... I've tried holding my phone differently but at some point I end up doing it with the slightest movement of my hand
It's even worse with my phone case off since the Samsung galaxy series has the edgeless screens
I would strongly recommend playing on PC/Mac anyway, it's what the game is designed for.
I don't own a pc
I've figured it out it's a stupid double tap function can there be a way to turn it off my big hands are being registered as two fingers from the way I hold my phone and it's unavoidable because no matter how I hold my phone I'm going to end up tapping the screen twice
Are there animations and SFX/va's in this for porn scenes?
For some early ones. They are retroactively getting updated.
Hi, the game is just super! The soundtracks are just wonderful. It's like you specially added my entire music playlist to the game lmao)) I have a question: How many more chapters do you plan to add?
The game is planned for 100 chapters.
Damn. This will be wonderful!
Love the phasmophobia reference lol
For some reasons, been trying to play the game uncensored for months now without success... No matter what I do I always get the black screen edition for sex scenes...
There is no censored version, you should redownload the full build.
