Touchstarved- A Dating Sim About Mental Health!

Tired of playing dating sims where the Love Interests have trauma larger than the unplayed games in your steam library? Irritated that the fictional characters you encounter in visual novels are even more damaged and problematic than the people you meet on dating apps?

Touchstarved is a game that fixes all of that! In Touchstarved, the Love Interests have all resolved their personal struggles and aim to help you overcome your own with their practical and timely mental health advice!

Meet the cast:

I'd reccomend giving it a try:D Since playing the demo, my sleep schedule has improved, my mind has become quieter, and I've found myself spending less time online. Not only is it fun, it's great for your overall wellbeing! Let me know what you think once you've played!!

I am rooting for the underdogs again.

Patience is a virtue, dear childern☝🏼

Kuras thought Ais wanted to read the shipment lists with him - turns out that's not what he's looking for. Birthday man wants a birthday kiss!

TELL ME WHY

I'VE PLAYED THIS DEMO OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN

BUT NEVER HAD I EVER PICKED THE "HESITATE" OPTION FOR LEANDER

I'M A DUMB BITCH HOLY SHIT

BUT I CAME INTO A NEWFOUND REALISATION:

THE MC'S CURSE PROTECTS THEM, IN SOME WAY

(unless I'm the last person in the fandom to notice that, good job me)

If you pick the "Touch him" option, he only says "I told you there's nothing to worry about"

BUT HERE, he comments "That's one hell of a curse :D" meaning he definately feels it and it possibly affects him

Yes, the MC surely has ptsd of some sort and could assume Leander's hand was going for their neck like mrChocky but i highly doubt he was initially going for their shoulder

I believe the MC's curse doesn't affect whoever they touch, but whoever touches them

It's quite a bit of a strech, yes, but still a possibility:

Leander doesn't do the dramatics above if the MC touches him first

MrChocky was the one who touched the MC first and got he affected

And thus I bring in another question: What about Oracle!MC?

"The priests claimed your touch bestowed enlightenment, but a visiting mage revealed your curse for what it is."

It wouldn't be illogical if the priests' words were true; if the MC touches someone, they are "bestowed enlightenment", but if the MC gets touched forcibly/accidentally, the one who touches them goes mad

But that would also mean we'd have the choice of giving Leander more power if we choose to touch him

Also, somehow all the backstory mages seem to have a good understanding of the MC's curse [have seen it/it has been recorded before], or are at least able to recoognise it in order to reveal it to them. Plus, the Alchemist!MC's mage [who was "exiled from the Senobium"] planned on cultivating them as a test subject, meaning not much must be known about said curse.

"It's unlike anything I've ever dealt with," says Leander, a mage who has never stepped foot in the Senobium.

"We can find answers together," Leander promises later on.

Then he stops

He waits for them to touch him

Then he freely unwinds their bandages, allows them to touch his hands, his cheeks, he moves his hands over theirs because they've already accepted him touching them

He could have figured how the MC's curse works, or he could have dark-magic-ed his way into the Senobium files before the MC returned to the Wick again.

Hey sooo for a Touchstarved art request could you possibly maybe draw Kuras throwing Vere out of his clinic like a football? For science of course

Well ofc! There you go! 😌

Look at them being besties

[portsandstars]

Some more pictures from the last time I wore this cosplay, hopefully I can do a full photoshoot soon:)

[portsandstars]

5 on wanton violence? Him and ais are perfect for each other~

Many a drunken brawler has taken Vere for an easy mark, but his pretty face belies a shockingly high body count 🔥

[sophriac]

vere, ais and mc but mc turned into a real sparrow

Haiiii 😼

[tartutuu]
