So, I noticed something about the LIs sprites - in game all of them have two sprites (as of yet, in the demo), their "base sprites" that are seen most of the time, only slightly changing in expression
and their 'second sprites', which only come in in certain situations. And with these, I found it very interesting that Leander, Vere and Mhin face directly forward, they look at the MC en-face,
while Kuras and Ais turn (more or less) away from the MC, of course still looking at them
all of them show kind of a "defensive" body language, turning away or having their arms crossed
As for Kuras and Ais, these sprites better show off the scars on the left side of their bodies (Kuras' palm and Ais' brow), the scar on Leanders arm also seems a little more prominent in this second sprite as it is in his normal base sprite. The Devs showed off Leanders character design, so we know the scar(s) is much bigger and most of it is covered up by his clothing (link: https://redspringstudio.tumblr.com/post/713157741429030912/the-character-design-process-for-touchstarved-is).
I read in another post (and that's when I first noticed too tbh) that all three have scars on the left side of their bodies (link to the post: https://www.tumblr.com/goldrushhhhh/713440772810326016/why-do-they-all-have-scars-on-their-left-side). I wonder if Mhin and Vere also have any scars and if, if these are on the left too.
I also found it interesting, that in Leanders, Kuras' and Mhins character bios the Senobium is mentioned (either as a Dislike for Leander (link: https://redspringstudio.tumblr.com/post/704003733390049280/we-couldve-sworn-something-was-written-here-but) and Kuras (link: https://redspringstudio.tumblr.com/post/703007196501442560/but-kuras-is-so-pretty-would-you-still-eat-his) or as a Like for Mhin (link: https://redspringstudio.tumblr.com/post/703278955906678784/one-way-to-warm-mhins-icy-heart-is-with-tasty)).
We know that Vere is chained by the Senobium (link: https://redspringstudio.tumblr.com/post/708715040244629504/many-monsters-lust-for-blood-but-vere-promises-to), the only who doesn't have the Senobium mentioned in his characterizations is Ais.
These are just some thoughts I had, I have to mention tho, that I've only played the demo once (route The Hound), so if there are more informations, hints or clues in the other routes, I didn't know them yet.

@catskets recently held a 72 hour Murderboy Mayhem game jam. I was not able to complete the game in time, but I still finished and published it, so here it is. ^^
Plot:
You wake up and find yourself on a romantic dinner date with a mysterious man, who introduces himself as Zecharias. You have no memory of ever meeting this man, or agreeing to go on a date with him. You have to figure out what's going on before it's too late.
This game acts as a spinoff for my other games: Let Me Remind You and Be My Muse. It features the same yandere love interest as both games: Zecharias, but takes place at a different time.
This is my first completed game. :D I'm so happy I finished it.
Content:
4.2k words
3 endings
WARNINGS:
This game contains blood and fictional depictions of corpses. It also features a character that manipulates the player. Viewer discretion is advised.
