Darling Touch v0.8.0



Hey Darlings, v0.8.0 is available now on itch.io! πŸ’•

Hu Tao steps out of Early Access and into the free roster, our 12th waifu joins Early Access, logging in gets way easier, the app is smaller thanks to new download management so you can grab just the characters you want, your save can now follow you across devices with cloud save, and the whole interface gets a fresh new look! Here's what's on the way.



Hu Tao Leaves Early Access

Hu Tao is now part of the base game and fully playable for all players, free and supporter alike. She joins Frieren, Tifa, Reze, Ellen Joe, Megumin, Asuna, Marin Kitagawa, and Maomao as a permanently free character.

New Early Access: Hatsune Miku

Say hello to Hatsune Miku, Darling Touch's 12th waifu! Her opening scenario is in and ready to go. Sign in with your Patreon or SubscribeStar account to unlock her. Early Access means you're the first ones in!

Sign In With Patreon (or SubscribeStar!)

No more copying and pasting a new key every month. You can now sign in directly with your Patreon or SubscribeStar account right from the game, and your Early Access unlocks just work. A quick, secure device-code sign-in handles the rest behind the scenes. The internet is only required when logging in, the game is still fully playable offline!

Download Only What You Want


The game now ships with just Frieren, Tifa, and Reze bundled in, meaning a much smaller initial download. Other characters' data downloads on the fly the first time you pick them. Prefer to grab everything up front instead? A new Manage Downloads menu (Located on top right beside Skills Upgrade, Supporter, Settings buttons) lets you download characters on demand. Pick the waifus you want, and their content packs download right in. Change your mind later? Remove a pack to free up space and re-download it anytime.
All downloaded characters are playable offline, no internet required beyond downloading new content.

Cloud Save

Our most requested feature is finally here! Your save can now follow you between devices. Upload it, download it wherever you play next, right from the new Supporter Menu. This one's for our subscribers first, since they're the ones covering the costs that make it possible. If the game grows enough to afford it, opening this up to everyone is something I'd genuinely like to do.

A Fresh New Look & Polishes

  • Settings, shop (now Skills Upgrade), player profile, and language picker redesigned
  • Zen Mode renamed to "Disable Mini-Game" and moved to the Play Style section
  • Brand-new Supporter Menu popup, with Cloud Save and the Darling Touch Hub accessible right from here
  • Various bug fixes and UX polish
As always, translations are machine-assisted, so if you spot anything off, let us know on Discord!
