TOUCHSTARVED: A Dark Romance Visual Novel

About TOUCHSTARVED APK

You were born under a mystical curse that manipulates the minds of those you touch, leaving a trail of confusion and despair in its wake. Desperate for a cure, you embark on a perilous journey to the shadowy metropolis of Eridia, where five enigmatic individuals may hold the keys to your salvation—or your downfall.

Core Storyline

Red Spring Studio, a small, POC and queer-owned indie studio comprising veteran developers from Riot Games, Nix Hydra, and Bungie, has crafted a compelling narrative in TOUCHSTARVED. The demo includes the entire Prologue, setting the stage for an intense journey. You can choose your main character’s pronouns and origin story, guiding them through a complex web of branching storylines, character-driven routes, and multiple endings.

Your decisions will determine whether the story unfolds into a dark, gothic romance or a terrifying horror tale. Will you sacrifice your humanity in the quest for a cure, or find a way to save yourself and those you care about? The fate you choose will be as unpredictable as the characters you meet.
