FULL TRANSPARENCY, AND FULL HONESTY... I am rolling on the fucking floor, thrashing about, foaming at the mouth, losing all the air within my lungs, vibrating with an intensity not far from nuclear fission, I am earthquaking, knee breaking, unrelentingly feral for Kier. NOT ONLY FOR KIER THOUGH, NO! NO, THAT WOULD LET MY ACHY BREAKY HEART REST FOR BUT A MOMENT! - OLEANDER. NEED I SAY MORE. As a matter of fact, I do, I do need to say more. But I can't for at least 2 business hours because I am going to send myself into cardiac arrest and I don't have insurance so that would suck.
Hey!! I bought this game about 60 days ago, and recently I realized that I could get a Steam key for the game, but I can't seem to find it. I connected my Steam account to my account and looked at the download page. I was wondering if that's maybe because when I bought the game when it was discounted. If so, I will just repurchase the game on Steam, truly a peak game, so I wouldn't mind much. Thanks!
To the best of our knowledge (and I did email itch.io's support about this) getting the game on discount shouldn't block you from getting a Steam key. They did mention that some people have their Steam account and itch.io account attached to different email addresses and that can cause problems, but unfortunately that's not something I can help troubleshoot. Here's their troubleshooting page on Steam keys to double-check, and if that doesn't help then I suggest emailing support (there's a link to that in the final section of the troubleshooting page).
And thank you for the praise! Hopefully you can get the key matter solved on your end, but we're grateful you'd even consider buying the game twice 💙
Wow, I really loved the chapter 2 updates. I wasn’t initially sold on Keir but this made me fall in love with him. The CG was lovely. He’s deceptively cute, and now I wish the gap between my teeth was wider.
Cirrus was a bastard from the start, a lovable bastard but still. He’s magnetic. I always think it’s fun when a character fucks with the UI/choices. The ending with Francesco… ugh he’s such a good boy :’) This route has a lot of great tension; the meter freaked me out the first time I saw it. CG was gorgeous. I didn’t understand the ending until playing Keir’s route. I audibly said, “no fucking way,” to my computer.
I’m really excited to follow this. I anticipate Oleander’s story the most!! He is my husband actually <3
Helloo, i just found out that if i bought the game through itch.io i get access to the chapter 2 ending/achievements guide file. Will this guide file also be available to people who have bought the game on Steam? Thank you!<3
Steam keys are just a way to get a game from Steam without needing to go through the purchase process directly on Steam. If you'd prefer to play OBSCURA on Steam, I'd recommend buying it there to reduce the potential for complications. The only exception is for people in Germany and China; OBSCURA is blocked for sale on Steam in those countries, so you'd have to buy the game on itch.io.
Ah I see, Thank you, i already bought it tho. I thought if I bought it on steam I could download it from here too cuz my pc is broken so i want to download this on my phone
I would like to buy the game on Steam but unfortunately due to it's missing age rating I 'm even not able to have access to the Steam shop website of it. Is there a way to solve it?
Ah, I'd guess you're from Germany or China? Steam has OBSCURA blocked in both of those countries because it claims the game has "frequent sexual content". We disagree, but Steam gave the game a high age rating and has refused to lower it.
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about this right now. You can buy the game here on itch.io (sorry about the lack of regional pricing, we'd turn it on if it was an option) and you will get a Steam key with your purchase that should work like normal, but that's the only option we can offer right now.
So it means because you disagree you won't change the age rating then or is it more likely a Steam problem? It's not an accusation from my side I'm just curious.
If I understand correctly, I will get the Steam key even if I buy Obscura here?
You should get a Steam key if you get the game through Itch.io, yes. You'll have to connect your Steam and Itch.io accounts (it's in the setting menu), and then on the download page there will be a button for getting a key.
And to clarify: Steam is the one that decided our age rating. We wanted a lower rating.
Love the game and almost completed all of it! However I'm having trouble getting ending 29 with Kier D: any tips on how to get it? I've looked at the guide and it's kind of confusing. I'm also missing the last CG on the second page, does anyone know how to get it? Thanks and so excited for the next chapters :D
Ending 29 requires a little bit of bad luck to find. In the guide under Ending 27, there's a choice that has a 1/3 chance of going badly, and you need to get that in order to get enough "noise points" to reach Ending 29.
As for the CG, that's found in the Extra Story. There should be a button for it on the Extras menu after you've hit a good or neutral end for all four boys in Chapter One (if it's still not there, try running through the game credits at any ending and see if it's unlocked then).
I am curious, do you know how many chapters this VN may be?
(Also, I love there are episodes where you can date the MC/Vesper too. Just think that is really cool. Hope there ends up being more episodes of this and/or etc. If not, I am happy w/ what u have already given us as well).
Think this VN is really cool and interesting so far.
Has an interesting concept/premise to it.
I love how u can pick different masks and even different outfits (even if it doesn't show up on the sprite) later on.
And I really like the different guys and routes as well.
Will be watching this VN for more updates and/or chapters, and waiting (patiently).
We've got three chapters planned per character. There's one left for Cirrus and Keir, and two left for Oleander and Francesco and we're working to make it happen 💪
Players can select which pronouns the protagonist uses, and there's a couple of choices where the player can choose an outfit (not shown on the sprite for scope reasons) where they can decide whether to lean more masculine or feminine. We don't have a set or default gender for Vesper.
i want to get the game but couldnt understand the difference between the steam and itchio version; if i understood correctly if we buy at itchio we get full access to the whole game when it finishes, is this correct? and if it is, does it also include purchasing the game in steam or we get only ch 2 on steam and later might need to purchase the later chapters? hope i could explain myself correctly, i cant wait to get the game just indecisive about the platfrom
Cirrus route in chapter 2 made me go insane (in a good way). I love my completely normal priest!! anyways can't wait for chapter 3 and I love your work <<<333
wanted to leave my support for this game! <3 just finished playing through keir's route. i genuinely cannot explain how much i love the storytelling and atmosphere of this game! looking forward to future updates and releases! :)
Hello! There's definitely something odd happening in this case, but I'm at a loss as to what it could be. The only thing we can do on the backend is turning key distribution on and off and add more if we're running out, so I'm afraid there isn't a lot we can do directly. If you scroll to the bottom of this page, you'll see Itchio does have a small section on why you might not be receiving a key despite it being included, though none of the main reasons should apply to us (we're not participating in a major charity bundle at the moment, and we still have plenty of keys left to redeem in the system).
The best suggestion I can offer is to follow Itchio's directions and reach out to support (there's a link to the support page in the FAQ I linked before). They're in a better position to answer your question at the moment.
Hi! I want to know if you have any update about the problem? I have the same problem and have already contact support staff but sadly still haven't got any news from them.
hi , how will i be able to access the other files if i purchased it from steam ? i love the game to death and i even made it my priority to be my first ever purchase online . i cant wait for the coming chapters !
I'm not sure what you mean by "other files"? If you're looking to access the pdf guide for Chapter Two, it's already up on Steam under the "Guides" tab, should be pretty easy to find! If you're wondering how you'll access future chapters, they'll be added automatically in Steam.
Out of ccuriosity, a bit confused, will the price of the game go up when it's completed, if so what is the point of buying it now? sorry if that seems rude
Hi! We will probably raise the price of Obscura once it's done, but people who buy it before that won't have to pay again. Consider it a small "thank you" discount for anyone buying the game before it's complete. Since we're not doing crowdfunding like Kickstarter or Patreon, letting people buy the game in Early Access is also how we've chosen to let people support us during development.
If you want to wait for the game to be finished before buying it, that's a pretty reasonable decision, too!
Hello! I just bought and downloaded the game but unfortunately I can't find the steam game key anywhere! I already looked under downloads and everything. Am I doing something wrong or is it just the page itself? :0
Hello! When you can't find the key there's two things to check first:
1. Is your itchio account connected to your Steam account? You can connect them in your settings (the "connected account" menu, then use the Steam button), and they need to be connected to redeem a key.
2. Be sure you're checking the right place. At the top of the OBSCURA page should be a grey bar informing you that you've already purchased the game, with a link to the download page. The Steam key redemption button can be found below the other download options.
If you've cleared both of those hurdles, then I'm less certain about what could be going on. There are plenty of keys left to claim, at least.
I also did not receive a Steam key as part of my purchase! I wonder if it had anything to do with the sale? I purchased another game earlier with no issues. Update: After reaching out to Itch.io support, they said it was an error on their end & fixed the issue. :)
Feral for this game to an unhealthy degree, I'm afraid. Bought on steam and kept gushing to my friend about it. I'm enjoying all the routes but Oleander's my fave
Hi!! I love the game so much. But I think I have problem with the extra story with vesper. I got cirrus's good ending but I still haven't get vesper's extra story. Is it bug or something? Thank you
Hi! There's a couple of things that could be going on here, but the good news is that it's probably not a bug.
If you can't find the link to the Extra Story in the Extras menu, there's two things to try:
Be sure you've reached a good or neutral ending for all four love interests (that's ending 4 or 5, 14 or 15, 19 or 20, and ending 10.)
If you have, please try going through the game credits through any of those endings
The game checks that you've finished the required endings to unlock the Extra Story during the credits (it kept things simple when I was programming!), so if you went back to the main menu after getting all the required endings without going through the credits first it may not have completed the check.
Hi, the Discord link above should be working just fine (at the very least, it's not expired!). You can also try this one, which is our custom link and therefore should definitely be working.
sorry if this is annoying, but the game is only two chapters? I don’t want to buy it before it’s complete. Again sorry if this is annoying stupid question
The game's going to be three chapters per route. The answer's probably somewhere down there in the churn of comments, but there's no harm asking to be sure!
Played the demo and found it really good! Nice writing and intriguing character arcs. Just bought chapter 2 but not sure how to start it. Should I continue from where the first chapter ends or I need to enter chapter 2 via a different interface?
Hi! Chapter Two continues directly from Chapter One, so you can just load a save from around the end of the chapter and it should continue seamlessly (for Keir and Cirrus, at least! Gotta wait a little long for Oleander and Francesco).
Hi there! Just wanting to give props to the Oleander dialogue especially, the back-and-forth is written wonderfully :) The game has really neat atmosphere and I'm looking forward to seeing how things unfold - keep up the good work, and good luck with the rest of the game!
Hey peeps. This game was recommended to me and I wanted to wishlist it on Steam, however, it is not available in my region. My region is Germany, and this is a common problem for some indie games since Germany has very strict age rating laws. IF your game doesn't have an officially supported age rating like USK or the like, it will not even be displayed to customers from Germany. Maybe it's something else, but because I had indie devs from other countries telling me they were unanaware of this fact before, I thought I just let you know. :) I would love to wishlist and buy the game on Steam, so I hope it will be possible some day.
Oh trust me, we know. We appreciate the helpful sentiment, this monkey has just been on our collective back for a while! Steam decided that our game contains "frequent sexual content", which we think is very silly. But when we disputed the rating Steam disagreed with us, and now German and Chinese players have to access the game elsewhere, like here.
If you're looking to buy OBSCURA, buying it here on itch.io will also grant you access to a Steam key, and we have seen confirmation from our German players that Steam keys can be redeemed for the game without issue. All the major Steam functionality is the same regardless of whether you buy it there or here, and the game's price in Euros on Steam is almost exactly the same as the USD price here on itch (at least at time of writing). So the only major difference in experience is which platform you'll be paying.
If you're looking to wishlist the game to be notified of a sale, we recommend following us on a social platform (we have Twitter, Bluesky, and Tumblr) since we announce all the sale events we take part in. It's not ideal (I personally really like Steam's wishlist functionality and wish it was easier to get an Itch equivalent), but it'll get you the information.
Thanks for the reply! I have added the game to a watchlist, here, and am following you on bsky now. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you don't know your stuff. It was more a tmyk-kind of thing bc I don't expect the world to always be informed about German shenanigans. I wish my financial situation was better atm, but indeed, I am currently looking for discounted prizes bc my budget is very tight. If that changes, I will buy undiscounted. Keep on doing good stuff, and I am looking forward to playing the game!
No worries, we'd much rather people want to keep us informed of things than not. And while I'm not allowed to talk about sales specifics in advance (Steam's rules again), I can say that we intend to take part in all the regular events that we qualify for. Sales here on itch and over on Steam have the same discount and duration, so there shouldn't be any difficulty picking up the title on a little discount sooner or later. And thanks for wanting to get the game! We hope you enjoy it, when you get the chance to play❤️
I LOVE THIS GAME!! I'm thanking the gods for Cirrus (on my knees ofc ofc). I was waiting for the full game release however I just couldn't anymore! Is there set date that the game will be fully released or an approximate time estimation? Gosh I just don't know how I'll wait!!
im a sucker for good endings but i am yet to actually unlock one, so im wondering if there is a guide for the currently available routes cough cough Cirrus cough cough? i really love the game and its easily my favourite vn,,,, the aesthwtic, the themes, the characters, and most importantly how diverse it is in almost all apects literally has me on my knees bdbgsjdjsh cant wait for new content to drop omgomgomg [sob]
hi! rlly loved the game, the story is great and so are the characters! that said, i'm thinking of buying the game in steam, since itch doesn't have the currency for my country and it's a hefty price if bought in itch. since steam matches the value in my country's currency, i just wanted to ask that if i buy obscura in steam now, will i have the early access for the available content in chapter 2 now and have access continuously as the game updates? thank you in advance!
Hi! Yeah, sorry about the lack of regional pricing. We'd have that as an option if itch.io supported it, but unfortunately they don't.
Purchases are the same here on itchio and on Steam: pay once, and then you'll receive future content as it arrives. You will not need to pay again for future chapters.
PLEASE drop the new chp.2 song on Spotify when were with keir at the lake (??) idk why but I love it so much I have to open Obscura and just listen to the soundtrack
Whoa, sorry for the delay. The game purchase is one-and-done, if you buy it now you'll get the new content as it releases for free (since it's just us updating the game as normal). Here on itch.io you may need to manually redownload the game to get the new content, but you'll always have access to the download page via your library.

does anyone know how to leave cirrus's route safely? I played through it and got a scene accidentally where I met Keir not in the usual fashion (i followed Kix/other teenagers into Mole Hole) but i wasn't sure how to trigger it again. Thanks!
FULL TRANSPARENCY, AND FULL HONESTY... I am rolling on the fucking floor, thrashing about, foaming at the mouth, losing all the air within my lungs, vibrating with an intensity not far from nuclear fission, I am earthquaking, knee breaking, unrelentingly feral for Kier. NOT ONLY FOR KIER THOUGH, NO! NO, THAT WOULD LET MY ACHY BREAKY HEART REST FOR BUT A MOMENT! - OLEANDER. NEED I SAY MORE. As a matter of fact, I do, I do need to say more. But I can't for at least 2 business hours because I am going to send myself into cardiac arrest and I don't have insurance so that would suck.

Excuse me, does this game have a complete Raiders tutorial? I can't watch steam's game community 😢
I'm not sure what you mean by "raiders tutorial"? But there is a guide for the endings and achievements, it's the pdf file here on itch.io.
Wow, I really loved the chapter 2 updates. I wasn’t initially sold on Keir but this made me fall in love with him. The CG was lovely. He’s deceptively cute, and now I wish the gap between my teeth was wider.
Cirrus was a bastard from the start, a lovable bastard but still. He’s magnetic. I always think it’s fun when a character fucks with the UI/choices.

I’m really excited to follow this. I anticipate Oleander’s story the most!! He is my husband actually <3
wait what?? the ending of who's route? and how does it correlate to Keir?
Helloo, i just found out that if i bought the game through itch.io i get access to the chapter 2 ending/achievements guide file. Will this guide file also be available to people who have bought the game on Steam? Thank you!<3
The guide is on Steam in the community tab already. It lacks the pretty formatting, but otherwise it's basically the same.
I found it, thank you so much! I absolutely love the game btw \(^_^)/

Hi, if I buy this now will I need to buy future chapters or does the price entitle me to the full game upon release?
You only need to pay once, future chapters are included in the price.
Oh sweet! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I loved the demo
Hii sorry, it's my first time buying games..
So do I have to buy it from here in order to get the steam key or i still can get it even if I buy it from steam?
Steam keys are just a way to get a game from Steam without needing to go through the purchase process directly on Steam.

Players can select which pronouns the protagonist uses, and there's a couple of choices where the player can choose an outfit (not shown on the sprite for scope reasons) where they can decide whether to lean more masculine or feminine. We don't have a set or default gender for Vesper.

Hi. I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and I'd like to talk about translating your game. I'd appreciate it if you could hit me up.
Hello! We're not currently looking for translation or localisation services at this time, but thank you for the offer.
Cirrus route in chapter 2 made me go insane (in a good way). I love my completely normal priest!!
anyways can't wait for chapter 3 and I love your work <<<333
Learning some things about myself through the Cirrus route... can't wait for chapter 3
wanted to leave my support for this game! <3
just finished playing through keir's route. i genuinely cannot explain how much i love the storytelling and atmosphere of this game! looking forward to future updates and releases! :)
Hello! I have to say, your game is amazing!
I was wondering if you guys have an email for contact since the one in "about" doesn't seem to be working :')
Hello! Our email address is for @gmail.com, and our name for that account is rottenraccoons1
Sorry for being a bit obtuse, we just want to avoid being put onto spam lists if at all possible.
Not at all! In fact that's a good thing! I just realized I read the 1 was an L, that was on me haha! Thank you for the answer ^^

I have the exact same problem which is sad because I only bought it for the key. Did the support staff help you in any way? :D

will this game ever be for android i feel it could fit onto android BUT i could be wrong i would love to play on pc and android if not that's fine too
Hi!! I love the game so much. But I think I have problem with the extra story with vesper. I got cirrus's good ending but I still haven't get vesper's extra story. Is it bug or something? Thank you

I see. I just checked the game again and the extra story already appear yippiee. Thank you agaain

The game's going to be three chapters per route. The answer's probably somewhere down there in the churn of comments, but there's no harm asking to be sure!
Played the demo and found it really good! Nice writing and intriguing character arcs. Just bought chapter 2 but not sure how to start it. Should I continue from where the first chapter ends or I need to enter chapter 2 via a different interface?
Hi! Chapter Two continues directly from Chapter One, so you can just load a save from around the end of the chapter and it should continue seamlessly (for Keir and Cirrus, at least! Gotta wait a little long for Oleander and Francesco).
Thanks! Can’t wait to go through Francesco’s story!
Hi there!
Just wanting to give props to the Oleander dialogue especially, the back-and-forth is written wonderfully :)
The game has really neat atmosphere and I'm looking forward to seeing how things unfold - keep up the good work, and good luck with the rest of the game!
Hey peeps. This game was recommended to me and I wanted to wishlist it on Steam, however, it is not available in my region. My region is Germany, and this is a common problem for some indie games since Germany has very strict age rating laws. IF your game doesn't have an officially supported age rating like USK or the like, it will not even be displayed to customers from Germany. Maybe it's something else, but because I had indie devs from other countries telling me they were unanaware of this fact before, I thought I just let you know.
:) I would love to wishlist and buy the game on Steam, so I hope it will be possible some day.
Oh trust me, we know. We appreciate the helpful sentiment, this monkey has just been on our collective back for a while! Steam decided that our game contains "frequent sexual content", which we think is very silly. But when we disputed the rating Steam disagreed with us, and now German and Chinese players have to access the game elsewhere, like here.
If you're looking to buy OBSCURA, buying it here on itch.io will also grant you access to a Steam key, and we have seen confirmation from our German players that Steam keys can be redeemed for the game without issue. All the major Steam functionality is the same regardless of whether you buy it there or here, and the game's price in Euros on Steam is almost exactly the same as the USD price here on itch (at least at time of writing). So the only major difference in experience is which platform you'll be paying.
If you're looking to wishlist the game to be notified of a sale, we recommend following us on a social platform (we have Twitter, Bluesky, and Tumblr) since we announce all the sale events we take part in. It's not ideal (I personally really like Steam's wishlist functionality and wish it was easier to get an Itch equivalent), but it'll get you the information.
Thanks for the reply! I have added the game to a watchlist, here, and am following you on bsky now. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you don't know your stuff. It was more a tmyk-kind of thing bc I don't expect the world to always be informed about German shenanigans. I wish my financial situation was better atm, but indeed, I am currently looking for discounted prizes bc my budget is very tight. If that changes, I will buy undiscounted. Keep on doing good stuff, and I am looking forward to playing the game!
No worries, we'd much rather people want to keep us informed of things than not. And while I'm not allowed to talk about sales specifics in advance (Steam's rules again), I can say that we intend to take part in all the regular events that we qualify for. Sales here on itch and over on Steam have the same discount and duration, so there shouldn't be any difficulty picking up the title on a little discount sooner or later. And thanks for wanting to get the game! We hope you enjoy it, when you get the chance to play❤️
I LOVE THIS GAME!! I'm thanking the gods for Cirrus (on my knees ofc ofc). I was waiting for the full game release however I just couldn't anymore! Is there set date that the game will be fully released or an approximate time estimation? Gosh I just don't know how I'll wait!!
im a sucker for good endings but i am yet to actually unlock one, so im wondering if there is a guide for the currently available routes cough cough Cirrus cough cough? i really love the game and its easily my favourite vn,,,, the aesthwtic, the themes, the characters, and most importantly how diverse it is in almost all apects literally has me on my knees bdbgsjdjsh cant wait for new content to drop omgomgomg [sob]
If you go to the download links, there is one for the ending guide. I personally love the low-spoiler version :)
hi! rlly loved the game, the story is great and so are the characters! that said, i'm thinking of buying the game in steam, since itch doesn't have the currency for my country and it's a hefty price if bought in itch. since steam matches the value in my country's currency, i just wanted to ask that if i buy obscura in steam now, will i have the early access for the available content in chapter 2 now and have access continuously as the game updates? thank you in advance!
Hi! Yeah, sorry about the lack of regional pricing. We'd have that as an option if itch.io supported it, but unfortunately they don't.
Purchases are the same here on itchio and on Steam: pay once, and then you'll receive future content as it arrives. You will not need to pay again for future chapters.
PLEASE drop the new chp.2 song on Spotify when were with keir at the lake (??) idk why but I love it so much I have to open Obscura and just listen to the soundtrack
I love this game.
If I purchase the game now, would I need to pay more once the second half of Chapter 2 or Chapter 3 is out?
I believe that this is the full price of the game after release
Whoa, sorry for the delay. The game purchase is one-and-done, if you buy it now you'll get the new content as it releases for free (since it's just us updating the game as normal). Here on itch.io you may need to manually redownload the game to get the new content, but you'll always have access to the download page via your library.
