thank you! New chapter will be out for patrons at the end of this month
God, I can't wait. Stupid excited. I can't say I've ever bothered to check back on development for literally any other VN. Usually it's like, once a year or so that I'll look and see if any of the games I liked have released new updates (e.g. Eternum, Ripples, and a couple of others I can't remember the names for off the top of my head).
But Out of Touch? Ever since I found this and finished it months ago (right about when 50+51 released), I find myself checking this damn page (and Patreon) at least once a week, even though I know full well the probability of any update being there is very low. Goes to show how much this game means to me, that even this many months after finishing it, I'm still thinking about it and craving more.
Suppose if the update is going to be that soon, that means that it's time for me to replay it in preparation, since my memory is that of a fish. I can remember much of the plot—at least, conceptually; I have a rough idea of what's happened so far—but the tiny details elude me completely since it's been so long. Those details, IMO, are easily one of the biggest reasons this story shines so much in my eyes. The characters feel more and more real as the story develops.
The nice part about getting to replay it is that I'll likely pick up on details I missed during my first playthrough. I don't typically like replaying games or reading stories for a second time, but I don't expect I'll mind very much with this one. If anything, I expect I'll enjoy it, since I distinctly recall that there were several story arcs I read while half-asleep and probably didn't fully absorb.
Maybe this time around I'll keep notes and write a proper chapter-by-chapter (or arc-by-arc, maybe) review, post it up on Reddit somewhere. I'm far too poor to be paying for a monthly Patreon subscription, but I can at the very least make my best attempt at bringing new readers to this wonderful game. If it's not obvious by the handful of other posts I've made here already, I thoroughly enjoy writing about the various things that I like, and OoT just so happens to be one of those things; well, no, more than that, it's one of the few things that I'd say I love very much. I've yet to find anything else quite like it, with its unique blend of spiritual beliefs and so on.
Anyway, I think that's enough blabbering out of me for today. I'm looking forward to the new chapter. Thanks for everything you do. Take care. ❤️
