You gugs are AWESOME!!!I can't even tell if I can fall for another visual novel after that...I found OBSCURA on Steam while it cannot be commented on yet,so I set up this account to spell my support for you.(Btw,I've always wanted to find a group of like-minded friends to start a studio for our own original characters and stories,and you've done it!It's really enviable!）
Actually I'm curious if there will be voice acting in this game?Even the simplest kind?
ps:My English is pretty bad and I hope I made myself clear >_< ~~~
Voice acting is something we'd love to have (probably partial; the script is long and we are but humble hobbyist raccoons), but we've decided to think about it more seriously once we're working on Chapter 3. If we do get voice acting, we'll be sure to announce it very loudly!
ended up on keir's best end route on my first try and godddd i love himmmmm <3 probably not gonna end up trying to get the bad ends for anyone (at least not on purpose) just because bad endings hurt my feelings sometimes :-(
however judging by what i played through and saw i'm sure they are just as good as the rest of it
aaaahhh this is the best valentine's day everrr! thank you so much for the update beloved raccoons, you guys truly are the lunar ichor to my fractum anima ayy <333
Father Cirrus loml here i commeee <3
! a snap from the game below !
aw i think you guys misspelled something, rather than alarm it should be wedding bells instead lmaoooo <3333333
It's something we'd like to do in the future, but right now our focus is entirely on getting the game finished. I believe there is an emulator that lets you play Ren'Py games (OBSCURA is a Ren'Py game) on Android called Joiplay, so you could look into that.
We're pretty sure you'll get a chance to see all the love interests' faces in their routes (what are masks for if not to be removed?), though we can't make any promises when we're not 100% sure.
just got cirrus' best end, RAHHHH! what a fantastic game!!! so well-written and put together. the aftercare and safeword bits are so considerate and well-implemented. so excited to see more!!!
Good game, I think I got the bad ending, but I got a bug that the killer was hunting me, but the music was off, and that was scarier than if the music was playing
I just got the best end, and I am so happy! Keir is by far my favorite character. What starts off as some thief who pretty much forced you to become one with him and his gang, becomes a softer person, even if they don't like showing it. I love him so much!!
Went into this game relatively blind and was taken aback that there was a "safeword" needed! This is how I know the creators wanted to take care of their audience. Heavy content was well-handled and they did not back away from the severities. (I'll just talk about my top 2 LIs so I'm not a wall of text in the comments lmao)
I was endeared by Francesco's supposed ignorance and honest demeanor. His character design is beautiful, and his chapter was the most unexpected of the rest! I blushed a little oo- I was sad that I got one of his bad endings on the first go and desperately searched onto how to get his best one (I did eventually thank goodness).
I gotta hand my heart to Kier, however. A little (big) thief whose chemistry with the MC was humorous to see. So glad I got his best ending on the first go. His relationship with his home, his realistic personality, and his character design (mmmbigarmsmm) was really cool to experience. I can't wait to see how his storyline unfolds.
Unlike the creators of this game I'm not very good with words so I feel like I cant fully put how I feel into perspective so I'll try my best.
I absolutely ADORE this game. All of the characters are so interesting and I was able to feel the substance of the world.
I also really appreciated having the player (Vesper) be an actually likeable character. I feel like every decisions the player can make is actually believable and authentic. Being actually quippy and not a bumbling oblivious character but still also not knowing everything about the markets felt really nice and refreshing.
hi there ! i tried downloading the link for chapter one through itch.io but it gets an error while it was halfway finished to downloading. i was hoping if there is something wrong with the website or my computer :, )
Hi! Just from what you're saying, it sounds like it might be your antivirus cancelling the download, or an interruption to your internet connection. Some antivirus programs are just overcautious. This post offers a couple of solutions you can try out. Hope you get it working! 😊
Ahh this game is all I wanted! Finally some level of character customization apart from just a name. And FINALLY an ACTUALLY LIKEABLE player!! If vesper had a route i'd take it. I can't wait for the full relase!!
I apologize if this question has already been answered, but is there any idea of how much the game is going to cost?
Great work!! I love this game soooo much and it deserves much more recognition!
First off, this game is PERFECT, but I do have a few questions though.
I was wondering when the next chapter (chapter 2) would come out and how much it would cost then?
And about Francesco, I tired everything but there's probably just this one Bad Ending available rn, where he leaves us in the club. Question is, will he still be an option in the 2nd chapter or is he really just gone then?
We don't have an exact number in mind for Chapter 2 when it comes to release date or price yet. Once we know for sure we'll announce it, so following us on some social media platform (or here on itch.io) is all we can advise for now.
And Francesco does have a good end in Chapter 1! If you're struggling a bit with it, the Ending Guide pdf includes a guide for the section where you're stuck, which should get you to the good end.
I love this game so much! Perfect game for people who prefer slower, lore filled stories with detailed characters. I've replayed the all the routes multiple times despite the fact I downloaded it about a month ago!
Although I can't wait for chapter two, I do have a question! When the game fully comes out, will it still be free or will a price be put on it? Not that this matters to me, I'm too invested LOL!
Our plan is to sell Chapter 2 at a reduced price as an "early access" release (folks that buy Chapter 2 will get Chapter 3 automatically when it comes out), then go full price for Chapter 3. Chapter 1 will be free forever as our demo.
Maybe my standards were too high, but the visuals were good. They were great to me actually. But in the nicest way, the story wasn't engaging. Again, I love the visuals. Wish the best for the creators!
This game is so well made, I'm especially a fan of the music and character designs. Also the aftercare with the MC was a wonderful addition, team MC all the way!
i have the same problem with this game and another visual novel, where the music plays on startup but the screen is black. can anyone help because i really want to play it??
i got all of the endings, the order i went was cirrus, keir, francesco and oleander. gotta say, i feel like i left the best for last, cause MY GOSH oleander is amazing, his endings are also really straightforward to get! i had a hard time with cirrus and francesco because of some subleties i glossed over, but overall 100000/10 experience, cant wait to see more!
Oh boy just played it... and got Cirrus route and I loved it. I donated a little bit as well and will do it again in the future as the game progresses. Hope everyone who enjoys the game and has the means will contribute. You guys deserve it!
I just played the demo of the game and OMGGG so good! Has to be the best dialogue in a dating sim that I've seen in a LONG time, just got off an otome bender so experiencing writing with actual personality, humor, and wit paired with a diverse cast of characters!?!?! SO revitalizing lol. Fantastic writing. The story so far is super compelling I have such a thing for stories with characters struggling with some hard-to-cure disease. I LIVE for the drama of it all. I could blabber all day about all the pros of this game, super excited for its continued development! Everybody needs to give this game a try I swear.
My only feedback that isn't even feedback and more of a personal observation is less height-difference dialogue so players can leave their character's traits more up to their imagination ( I imagine my guy as this jacked, tower of a man LOL), but I imagine how tricky that can be when drawing/writing for what a range of imagined protags. It's honestly pretty easy to ignore for every route except Keir's so it doesn't even really matter. So excited for more of this game!!!

You've come across perfectly, no worries ❤️

awww,thanks for the reply!that's means so much to me.
I loved the Valentines Day story! It was so nice. Is it random which one you get?
The overall story is the same, but which route Vesper is on is random.
Keir <3
ended up on keir's best end route on my first try and godddd i love himmmmm <3 probably not gonna end up trying to get the bad ends for anyone (at least not on purpose) just because bad endings hurt my feelings sometimes :-(

Will Android add it?

woah? How did you get this? 👀
我非常非常喜欢这款游戏，在我玩它的第一天，我很惊讶我犯的最大错误就是下载后没有打开它！我很期待完整版的剧情！不，应该说是不耐烦！而且我真的很喜欢基尔线的情节和主角的性格！
I have a question! Will we see the love interest's faces at the end of the story?
We're pretty sure you'll get a chance to see all the love interests' faces in their routes (what are masks for if not to be removed?), though we can't make any promises when we're not 100% sure.
just got cirrus' best end, RAHHHH! what a fantastic game!!! so well-written and put together. the aftercare and safeword bits are so considerate and well-implemented. so excited to see more!!!
Cirrus got me giggling and kicking my feet when he calls me star tehehehe
For the aftercare section pleasee add more characters than the main character!!
Good game, I think I got the bad ending, but I got a bug that the killer was hunting me, but the music was off, and that was scarier than if the music was playing
Got all of Cirrus's endings! Cant wait to play the rest of the routes!
I just got the best end, and I am so happy! Keir is by far my favorite character. What starts off as some thief who pretty much forced you to become one with him and his gang, becomes a softer person, even if they don't like showing it. I love him so much!!
How did you manage to get the best end if you don't mind me asking
theres a pdf for download with spoiler free and spoiler heavy guides for all the endings
Thank you

Okay thanks so much for this game again, I'm so excited to see more of it!
bro this game is so damn good bro my lord
you don't understand, i literally NEED them all
I love this game so much! Perfect game for people who prefer slower, lore filled stories with detailed characters. I've replayed the all the routes multiple times despite the fact I downloaded it about a month ago!

And thank you for the lovely compliments! 😊
Maybe my standards were too high, but the visuals were good. They were great to me actually. But in the nicest way, the story wasn't engaging. Again, I love the visuals. Wish the best for the creators!
I agree, however this was only the demo and there's still a lot yet to unfold. Hopefully we will get that in the next chapters to come!
This was lowkey a snooze fest. The visuals were amazing tho
This game is so well made, I'm especially a fan of the music and character designs. Also the aftercare with the MC was a wonderful addition, team MC all the way!
i have the same problem with this game and another visual novel, where the music plays on startup but the screen is black. can anyone help because i really want to play it??
If it's multiple games giving you issues, you might have an issue with your drivers. Here is a page with some suggestions to get things fixed, directly from the developer of the Ren'py engine.
I really enjoyed the game! :) I like the more mature and darker themes of it and I can't wait for a full release.
Why can't I do Francesco's routee?
Nvm I found out that its cause I have the steam version
I already got the best ending, I quit the game, This was also my first Visual Novel.
WHEN IS CHAPTER 2 COMING OUT?!?!?!?
My first route was Keir's and he will be my last.
I love my little Lily(Francesco) hes so adorable, i loved his route, I think hes my favourite out of them all.
What did I play first // The best route T-T❤
keir // oleander(The best thing I've ever seen, he's an angel)
cirrus // francesco (^///^)
oleander // cirrus (⊙o⊙)
sadistfrancesco // keir (big Brother)
i got all of the endings, the order i went was cirrus, keir, francesco and oleander. gotta say, i feel like i left the best for last, cause MY GOSH oleander is amazing, his endings are also really straightforward to get! i had a hard time with cirrus and francesco because of some subleties i glossed over, but overall 100000/10 experience, cant wait to see more!
Oh boy just played it... and got Cirrus route and I loved it. I donated a little bit as well and will do it again in the future as the game progresses. Hope everyone who enjoys the game and has the means will contribute. You guys deserve it!
Cirrus treats me wrong in all the right ways heheheee
