Red Spring Studio KNOCKED this demo out of the PARK. Already this game feels like treasured art. The soundtrack is pitch perfect. The backgrounds are evocative. The character sprites are mouth-watering. The writing is gorgeous and visceral with a thought-provoking mystery. This piece is incredibly polished and I keep upping my Kickstarter backing for more.
i don't know if the creator will see this, but what platform did you use to make this game?? also- I ABSOULUTLY ADORE THIS OH MY GOD, LIKE AGH. they so fine- a++ on character design
I've already backed the kickstarter, but I actually haven't until now played the demo, and damn it is so good. I throughly enjoyed that demo, and can't wait for any new updates for TouchStarved.
I haven't played a visual novel game in a while, especially one that has a darker plot to it. This was really fun to play, the art looks SO gooddd, and the characters are all so pretty! I wanna go through each route already lol !
I really love this game and cannot wait to play the full thing! Leander is awesome. I really love his personality. He seems like a really helpful and kind guy! Ais is interesting. Can't wait to see what secrets he keeps! :)
I thought the premise of this game was interesting and the atmosphere is wonderfully dark and while the writing is well done, I found that I actually liked none of the characters. So when I got to the point where I had to choose to follow one, I decided the game wasn't for me.
That said, I would recommend this game to anyone that likes a melancholic, dark, gritty atmosphere in a curiously dystopian medieval setting where life isn't worth much and survival is based as much on who you know as it is on what you know.
love that you can choose your pronouns and backstory!! the art is just amazing and all of it, it feels as if I'm in the story itself! I can't wait till the full version is out!
{P.S maybe reply to my comment when its out? lol just kidding<3 but when do you guys think it will be out?}
I'm definitely hooked<33 would recommend for anyone who's on the edge about it!!
I am soooooo upset that i only found out about this gem after the Kickstarter ended, would have backed for sure😭! Long Review Incoming:
The writing is exquisite, the art gorgeous and all the characters are intriguing. My absolute favorite is Ais, he seems to have a lot of character depth and the subtle melancholia he radiates hints at many more facets to his personality ❤🔥(besides being smooth as heck and smokin hot). I also love that the Characters have current/previous relationships with one another, this adds so much to the worldbuilding and dynamic. It would be a beautiful touch if some of the characters got together if the MC doesn't choose their route ❤(yes, i am a hopeless romantic). I absolutely ship Ais/Vere and would love the option of a poly-route with these two, their dynamic seems so interesting and i would love to know more! (I am also very intrigued by the hinted Ais/Leander and Leander/Mhin👀)
The music is very immersive and really fits the vibe of the world and characters! I am stunned by the amount of different character sprites and expressions that each character has, there is so much love for detail! The possibility to choose the gender of the MC is so important and made me very happy, as this is rarely available in similar games 🌈! Personally I also like the fact that MC is never visible besides their hands, as this makes the game much more inclusive for people of all genders and colors.
Can't wait for the final game to come out in +-2 years! Good things take time <3 ❤❤❤
PS: can we please have a picture of Ais petting Princess?🙏🥺
Oh my gosh this was such a wild ride! The art is mindbogglingly gorgeous and all the love interests have a special charm to them! This story is so interesting and I love how deep the lore of the world goes, I'm just as eager to learn what's going on as I am to get to know all these handsome fellas! And the inclusion to choose abilities and a backstory like a DnD campaign really surprised me! Can't wait! (i actually CAN wait, a great game is never rushed!)
girl help im now plagued with the unending imaginative scenarios of ais, vere, and leander. the art on this is so goddamn tasty. the dialogue is the spaghetti those dogs ate in the alleyway. every time i see kuras' nose i gain five years of life. also ais/vere/mc poly when pls god im beg

source: Kickstarter
omg that is some LONG ass time 😭 guess it'll be worth the wait thoughhh
Ais HAS to have been inspired by Tim Henson from Polyphia. I refuse to believe otherwise.
I saw Leander and Ais and fell in love. When will there be MOAR!
THIS WAS A DEMO?? SHIT I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FULL GAME I NEED THIS IN MY VEINS.
Writing? absolute perfection, though with little typos and errors it as understandable and poetic almost.
Art? Got me screenshotting every damn second of my gameplay.
GOD THIS WAS SO GOD I CAN BARELY DESCRIBE IT.
Please tell me there's gonna be a poly route including Vere and Ais 😭 it would be perfection
IN LOVE W MHINNN

From the loading logo and folders, it’s Unity.
