Holding Hands is an adult 2D adventure made by Kirantiplayer in RPG Maker, using 3DCG visuals. You play as Eric, or a chosen name, a novelist whose recent work has disappointed him while depression weighs on him. His girlfriend Lily invites an old friend, Alex, after Alex is evicted, and the story asks how this changes Eric’s life, his romance, and whether he faces rivalry, humiliation, cheating, or new desires.
The game is still in development, with the current build listed as v0.41, released on April 30, 2024. It is an English, uncensored release. The latest changelog adds story content for days 37 and 38 in NTRS 2, days 18 and 19 in Vanilla-Cheating, and days 25 and 26 in NTR 1, along with associated scenes.
