Here is the new game from PixelsLab:

Hi, everyone! PixelsLab is back with a brand-new adult visual novel — Only by Touch.

Four years together ended in the worst possible way: jealousy, constant surveillance, and one final ultimatum. You packed your things and walked away, only to find yourself alone in a city where you suddenly have nothing — not even a place to call home.

After three weeks of searching and watching a hotel eat through what remains of your savings, one last opportunity appears: a bright apartment in a quiet neighborhood. There is only one problem: the owner only rents her spare room to women. And she has her reasons.

Sometimes, home begins with a stranger

Her name is Rose, and she has been blind since birth. Letting an unknown man into her home was never part of the plan. That first conversation should have lasted a minute. Somehow, you walk away from it with a room... and a new roommate.

What begins as an unusual arrangement slowly becomes something neither of you expected: a story about two people learning how to trust again, about an apartment gradually becoming a home, and about discovering someone through all the things that cannot be seen.

Rose can't see your face, but she can hear the smallest change in your voice. Her world is built around sounds, scents and touch. And sometimes, a single touch can say more than a thousand looks.

But just when life begins to feel peaceful... someone knocks at the door. Then someone else.

Meet the women entering your life

They all have their own stories, their own problems and their own reasons for entering your life. And sooner or later, they'll all end up knocking at your door.

Rose — Your new roommate. Blind since birth, she loves music and books. She can't see your face, but she can recognize every emotion in your voice. Her world is built around sounds, scents and touch. And for Rose, every touch can mean more than any look.

Mei — Your boss and longtime friend. Elegant, confident and a little dominant, she's always ready to help when things get difficult. But Mei seems to have been waiting for something for a very long time... and she doesn't intend to wait much longer.

Maxine — A human hurricane from Rose's past who somehow ends up living on your couch. She promises she won't cause any trouble. She's lying.

??? — The mysterious neighbor from the sixth floor. Glasses, black lipstick and the smile of someone who expects far more from you than you could possibly imagine. You won't be able to ignore her. She won't let you.

Your choices won't disappear when the conversation ends

Only by Touch remembers.

Something that seems insignificant today may return several chapters later. Relationships evolve, characters remember how you treated them, and consequences don't always arrive when you expect them. Some mistakes can still be repaired. Others may change everything.

Apart from all this, in Only by Touch you can also find:

Choices with long-term consequences: The game remembers your decisions, and their consequences may catch up with you several chapters later.

Characters with lives of their own: Every heroine has her own personality, concerns and reasons for knocking at your door.

Dialogue worth reading: Humor, flirting, intimate moments and sincere conversations.

Detailed realistic renders: Lighting, expressions and emotions that help tell the story beyond the dialogue.

Atmospheric soundtrack and sound design: Sound plays an important role in creating the world and atmosphere of the game.

Hidden illustrations: Special illustrations are waiting for the most observant players.

Story first: No grinding, no stat farming and no wandering around an empty map just to unlock the next scene.

Languages: English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese.

Platforms: Windows, Mac and Linux.
