Overview
Out of Touch is a psychedelic melodramatic comedy about a group of childhood friends as they grow up, grow apart, and reconnect...before everything really goes off the deep end! Taking inspiration from psychedelic thrillers, Out of Touch is an extremely odd journey through several genres from teenage romance to existential horror.
After being sent away by his mother due to a terrible misunderstanding involving his closest friend, our protagonist CJ returns years later for the last two semesters of high school completely changed in both body and spirit.
Wielding a newfound power and determined to rekindle his old relationships, can CJ convince his friends he's the same person they used to know? Can he avoid ruining absolutely everything like the doofus he is?

Developer Notes:
Out of Touch! is my passion project that grew from a little writing challenge back in March when quarantine had just started.
Since then, it's grown from a short story to a small comic series and now (finally) a real visual novel!
Creating this VN has been a real joy in my life and I wake up every day excited to work on it, even 8 months later. I only hope I can share a little bit of that with my readers, especially the wonderful creators I've had the pleasure of becoming friends with because of this project.
Out of Touch is planned to be 100 chapters and currently the first Volume of 15 chapters is complete and published, with new chapters coming on a regular basis!
Oh my God why are you rebuilding the game in Unity? Are you insane? Unity games suck!
In a lot of cases, especially with Erotic games, I actually agree. Unity advertises itself as being friendly to new or amateur developers in the same way Ren'py does but let's be real:
It isn't.
The result is that a lot of amateur devs try to make their first Daz or Honey Select game with some pre-built VN package in Unity and absolutely fuck it up. It runs terribly, it's full of bugs and crashes. Awful.
That's not what we're doing.
Instead, our lead programmer Snow has built our own VN system in Unity that's tailored for exactly the game Out of Touch wants to be. This is his full time job and yes, he's a real programmer. In fact, his only job is getting the Unity version working and he works on it 8+ hours a day.
Suffice it to say, this isn't the same pre-built nonsense that you've seen before.
Now Why are we spending so much time and effort rebuilding the game in Unity?
If you've played Ch15, you've realized this isn't just a simple VN. Surprise it's a real video game. The mechanics present in Ch15 are barely a tutorial for the real game to come and even that was already pushing Ren'py far past it's limits, to the point that the Android version was permanently broken.
This Unity rebuild will allow us not only to make the gameplay as strong and fun as we always wanted, but it will also allow us to bring the game BACK to Android. Seeing as how prior to the 1.0 release Android players made up around 50% of our player base, this is a big deal for us.
Of course with anything like this, there will be bugs to iron out and other issues to fix. Please let us know any problems you find and we will get them fixed. If you've played the Ren'py version and there's something new or different in the Unity build that you don't like, tell us! My goal is for the transition from Ren'py to Unity to be as seamless as possible and I want all wanted functionality from Ren'py to remain.
