I followed the directions for Cirrus's good ending and just get his neutral one over and over. Feeling blue balled here lol it's really testing my characters 'I'll do anything to get what I need' temperament.
just choose the feel pleasure after the prayer option scene and then the “i loved it” right after, then in the end obey when he’s about to do his hanky spanky.
I'm enjoying the newest chapter a lot! but i keep getting an "exception occured" screen when using they/them pronouns on oleander's route. idk if this is an me issue or something else.
Omg I'm so happy with the new characters!!! I already got all the endings to Keir and Cirrus and I'm still working on Franceso and I haven't started on Oleander yet but oml he is so pretty.
So far my favorite character from this game has to be Franceso, he is literally so sweet he makes my heart melt. He is a bit naive but luckily MC isn't and is able to guide him.
My tier list so far (Most favorite to least)
(1. Franceso) ( 2. Keir ) ( 3. Cirrus ) I haven't met Oleander yet so this would probably change when next time I post a comment about this lovely game! <3
Honestly I love everything about this game and I'm so happy for the update, I'm literally so excited for the next update or when they release the full game <3 (also I LOVEEE the intro to the game, it was so fabulous, and the art is so amazing omg) but anyways I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCHHHHH!!! <3333333
FRANCESCO MY BELOVED!!!!!!!!!!! Omg I'm SO happy about the update and it was GREAT! I had a blast playing it! Thank you for your hard work and I'm excited for what's next!!
I didn't think I would like another character as much as I liked Cirrus... until Oleander came along. :O I can't wait to see more of this world and it's characters.
AAGGGHHHH IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME, AND I LOVE THE NEW CHARACTERS TOO!!! cirrus was my fave but after playing the other two new routes... I'm most definitely conflicted <3 (SPOILERS BELOW)
Fran is such a sweetheart and honestly, the protagonist is so strong for pulling them out of the club when things were starting to get... heated. I would've folded so fast tbh.
And Oleander, I love his cocky attitude. He's definitely a character that got me hooked instantly. I love how charismatic he is and I'm really interested to see how the next chapter goes.
LASTLY,,, I LOVE THE ARTWORK SO MUCH?? ITS JUST PERFECT. it makes me wonder if Obscura will always be a free game. If not, I totally understand and would not mind spending any money on the project in the future
I played Cirrus route before, and with 1.5, I played Oleander's. I loved it, he's so tall, I was not expecting that. XD Vesper's new cloak was very pretty, and it matched the mask I gave him so well. I can't wait for more.
I absolutely love this! The writing, the pace, the art, all of it is beautifully well done. I've played all of the routes! Well, I personally couldn't make it through Cirrus's due to past and sometimes current bad religious memories/experiences in reality. I expected it though considering the tags, haha; but I wanna mention that I really appreciate the safe word option. Now, that, I didn't expect. It was a nice surprise and refresher.
I finished everyone else's route, however! Keir is hands down my favorite.
I can't wait to continue his route in the next chapter. In my opinion, I feel he and Vesper have more chemistry and neutral, healthy connection. I love their banter too and, really, I have far more sympathy and understanding for Keir out of the other characters.
I also enjoy how mouthy Vesper is, but it's not an "edgy, loud, not-like-everyone-else" type of snark to me. More like, simply, not a pushover. Which is tough to achieve. At least, in my experience. I'm a fictional writer myself, and even I have trouble with properly writing such a personality in a character.
Now, being a pushover definitely seems like something you should never be in the mountains if you want to survive. This game got that message across real well too. It also seems like something a person (being Vesper) with enough guts to go into the mountains so they could gain what they need for such an awful curse would turn out to, inevitably, be like. Understanding and kind, but knows how to stand their ground and give some snark when they feel is necessary.
Speaking of which, their slightly snarky comments are all around funny and clever; you really hit the nail on the head with making a loveable, inclusive MC that doesn't sit silent on the sidelines and has strong ambition to achieve their goal. I'm a sucker for "I'll do absolutely anything to get what I need" protagonists. Even when they're very well aware that they'll most likely have to tackle the most unfortunate obstacles and circumstances along the way.
I also absolutely adore the idea of a masked and cloaked MC. The mask I chose was the white floral one. Adore the mask theme in general; I'll be recommending this to a close friend of mine who is a bigger fan of the concept of masks than me. I'm sure that she'll be over the moon and excited for this game just as I am.
Seriously, what an awesome, unique, and incredibly intriguing story. I don't know how I can express how much of a fan I've become of it any better; and it's only the first chapter! You gained a new follower on tumblr, and I'll be keeping up with updates as best I can. Five stars!
some spoilers⬇️ just played the update, the music and words are still so gorgeous🥰(tbh for me non english-native it's still a bit hard to read) Fran becomes my favorite boy (before is Cirrus since I'm switch() Though there may some darkness behind him, he is sweet now and that's enough.(And the design of his underwear? really caught me, love it so much🥰) And Oleander is also charismatic, since he is related with Keir, wondering whether there are more such connection among all of them. For me he is still mysterious though i finished all ends. Thank you for all your beautiful work🦝( already looking forward to read chapter 2)
Not gonna lie, when I read 'his underwear' I thought we'd get a panty shot of Francesco, but I understand you meant his layer of clothing under the main outfit! haha Well done for reading this in your second (or non-native) language! Dang. I'm trying to learn a few right now but I'm not fluent in any to do something so complicated. I'm still at the level of pouring water for my cat and trying to tell her 'Here is your water' in another language lmao
played a few itchio vn games and this is pretty good! im excited to play more.. just played kiers and cirrus's route (im ngl the bdsm part made me feel a rollercoaster of emotions but the aftercare saved me in the end). can anyone pls help me with oleander's route i literally dunno how to get to it... i may be dumb af tho. but anyway, great game!!!
you just have leave when the commotion near the church happens and go towards the laughing crowd when given an opportunity (instead of going to the fancy dressed stranger) 🙌
Fran is such a baby duckling. So cute🐣. So precious🐥. He's a cinnamon roll that needs to be protected at all costs, and my Vesper is more than happy to oblige. What a delight it is to tease this sweetie. Seriously. His reactions, I just-
Hi! The Ending Guide pdf we've included should have a description of the choices you need to make handle that challenge (or, it tells you the wrong choices to get the bad ending, and you just do the opposite to keep going). But if you're looking for a little more information:
The purse theft scene has a hidden counter and you have to find all the clues to the thief's location before that counter runs out. There are three clues to find and you get five chances to find them. The characters will tell you if you're on the right track or not. If a new choice shows up in the search menu, that means you've found all the clues and can take that choice to finish the scene!
I loved playing this game so much!! Currently i'm playing the game to get all of the endings ( so far I got 5 of the endings, mostly from Keir's route, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH) but everything about the game is great!! I love everything and the MC, the MC stands out from other games I have played. I love how you guys added a aftercare! It was lovely to talk to the MC and kinda from a bond with them! It helped me when I was doing the Cirrus route, it was a bit overwhelming but I loved it. I'm not so into BDSM but idk I was kinda into it. And the fancy stranger was so cuteee!! I love him as well! I absolutely love all the charaters and I cant wait to see the full game! LOVE OBSCURA SO MUCH <333
Just got the best ending,i wish this wasn't just a demo because this is absolutely beautiful. Also didn't expect keir to be so freaking tall damn,i do look like a child.
The after care zone is so sweet<3 didn't click it bc of any triggers or anything all that made me anxious was choosing what i was going to do in the timed answers but i calmed down after because if i didn't chose in time i could just go back. (for anyone who had the same issues i figured you can go in preferences and turn that off) i was Just curious so i talked with the main character tbh if i ever feel sad even if its nothing about the game ill probably go there
FANCY STRANGER IS SO PRETTY!
if he's gonna be one of the lovers then no one can take me away from him im being fr he also looks so kind,sweet and caring he's perfect (yes im a simp)
Keir is hot tho
I feel bad for treating him like shit bc i just tried to get another ending with him lol i think i got the same was before,poor sweetheart :')
Who is the fancy stranger? I thought all side characters were just shadows so we can't see how cute they are? (Oh wait, is that Francesco?) Unless this is in Olander's route, which I've not played yet?
fancy stranger is in fact in another route,you can get to see them by going into the church and at some point when you leave (depending on the choice you make) you just bump into them :)
Got the good endings as the first one for each MC. At first I kinda hate Keir but he kept getting better and now I really like him and for Cirrus I didn't expect that scene at all it caught me off guard but his hotness is kinda off the chart so still love him tho. And, the fancy stranger I hope we will see more of him soon in the next chapter. Overall, this VN is fantastic I absolutely love it.
I got a bad ending and left it because there was so much story to the game. I was entranced by the writing though and the dynamics between the characters were written well. There was a lot descriptions on the settings it really helped me picture my surroundings. Nice Visual Novel! I hope to play the other ones!
I'm actually really enjoying this. From the choice of gender to the "Aftercare" zone and the addition of a safeword, this game was amazing to play especially since you provided a space to tab out if needed. I cannot wait for more instalments.

Nvm I finally got it. I still think it wasn't working because Cirrus is a sadist though. Man made me beg for the good end alright, damn.
can i ask how you got it i also keep getting the neutral ending
just choose the feel pleasure after the prayer option scene and then the “i loved it” right after, then in the end obey when he’s about to do his hanky spanky.

Keir <3
Franceso is such a cinnamon roll. He's the cutest palate cleanser after Cirrus' route. I love the dynamic between him and MC. Starting Oleander next.
Can't wait for more <3
Edit: Now meeting Oleander and playing Touchstarved Leander's route, I think I have a kink for buff pub owners. God help me.
they almost even have the same name..
Damnn i didn't meet a few people apparently
Omg I'm so happy with the new characters!!! I already got all the endings to Keir and Cirrus and I'm still working on Franceso and I haven't started on Oleander yet but oml he is so pretty.

I just finished chapter 1 and I'll say it's amazing! You cannot find any super-hot masked men anywhere else, not in visual novels!
I'm actually really enjoying this. From the choice of gender to the "Aftercare" zone and the addition of a safeword, this game was amazing to play especially since you provided a space to tab out if needed. I cannot wait for more instalments.
I'm THIS CLOSE )( to dedicating taylor swift songs to keir fr . I miss him
