This is an insanely nice game, I went down Theif's route for this demo and I was laughing a lot. I'm not sure if it was just late outside but it amused me. The full game will be above & beyond.
in the future can you add female romantic interests?? i loved the demo but i am lesbian and i think it would be great to have more avaliable woman to date ><
Même si on aimerait offrir une traduction, on en aura probablement pas l'occasion avant de 1) avoir terminé le jeu et 2) avoir les moyens pour en payer une. C'est juste trop compliqué en ce moment.
On est désolées 😔 Mais merci de nous avoir demandé! On espère que tu auras l'occasion de profiter du jeu d'une façon ou une autre 🌙✨
What about 18+ hot scenes in the future?) Is there a chance they will be present in the game? Are they even possible considering the choice of pronounce function? I mean I choose to be a woman/she/her but I still feel like the characters don't perceive me as one. More like the pronounce choice doesn't even matter in the game - the characters don't change even a little bit their behavior towards me. I feel like I'm just gender neutral for them or something...
We'd like to include adult material in the future, in the game or in DLC form depending on what serves the story best. We'll definitely cross that bridge when we get to it.
God, I've done the Keir route and I am just in absolute love. The writing and world building is just phenomenal. But, of course since this game isn't completely finished, it left me begging for more! But thank you for this little taste of the game that you've released, absolutely amazing. *chef's kiss* mwah, perfect
This game is absolutely beautiful, ethereal even. I started playing it pretty late at night and immediately fell victim to the beauty & mystery of Cirrus. It felt so wrong to feel how I felt about a priest, but at the same time it was very intense and left me wanting more. Beautifully written, amazing art, soundtrack, and characters. I can't wait to support the full project!
I played this a few days ago and it still hasn't left my mind so Im sitting here in the middle of the night just to write this review. First of all, thank you for making this game and I will actively follow through all the updates in the future. Anyways. SPOILER ALERT I was first interested in the church because they actually provided a safeword for the game and I thought it was interesting, so I went through Cirrus' route. The first time he commanded the MC I was like OH MY GOD that actually did something to me. And then when the bdsm scene happened I genuinely was so shocked. I have to praise the writers for this because if it weren't for the toe curling words I wouldn't be this interested. The OST also played a huge role in this. One second it was a holy and sacred feeling while prayers and the next it was... intense. And then I went through Keir's route while still feeling dumbfounded after what just happened with Cirrus. Anyways it was a really wholesome route, it was a such nice contrast. Its not as intense as Cirrus' route but I love it so much! I'm looking forward to the fancy stranger's route.
More details would help in this case. It's hard to diagnose a problem when I don't know what part of the download process isn't working.
Assuming you've got the game and are having trouble launching it: the most common problem folks have with Ren'py games that we know of is that the game crashing or refusing to launch. If that's what's happening it's worth checking if your antivirus is reacting to the game. Some antivirus programs really don't like Ren'py games and think they're harmful; I promise the game is not harmful. Whitelisting the OBSCURA folder will keep the antivirus program from interfering. If that doesn't help or doesn't describe your problem giving more details will help me figure out what's going on.
Unfortunately, that sounds like something we can't fix on our end. I just tested downloading the windows version of the game and it worked alright, so the file is definitely there and itch.io should still be working just fine.
A download failing to finish could mean an overzealous antivirus, or problems with the browser you're using. Here's a slightly old guide from Itch.io that might be able to help, but unfortunately it sounds like whatever problem you've got is something that can't be fixed on our end.
the writing is phenomenal and the setting is so interesting, i hope we learn more in chapter 2!!!! the character designs are beautiful and keir is my favourite atm HAHA i love that guy
I am a couple of hours in now and wow! The writing is so immersive and detailed I feel like I am in another world just from that! The Character design is gorgeous. I love the idea of this complete society is just living underground like a huge black market and the masks as a form of anonymity is right up my alley! I fell into the Prist's Route right away and playing on gathering as much endings as I can. 10/10 loving this game so far and excited to continue deeper into this journey in the dark
I don't usually comment, but I really had to for this game! I absolutely loved every routes, and I like the fact that the devs included a safeword and even an aftercare category which I think was really toughtful! Not only that but at the start of the game, u can choose ur pronouns, which is really cool as I rarely see smth like this in visual novels. The characters were amazing and so was the plot! Keep up the good work, can't wait for next chapter <33
Aaaaah omg I love this VN so much, it's such a good start ! <3
Especially the fact that I usually have a hard time finding a MC in a otome game that I really like, but this one makes me smile. The designs are all really cool (the masks remind me a lot of Dark Souls, the art is really beautiful <3) So yeah, I'm very excited for Chapter 2 ! :)
i could write a really long review but it's genuinely amazing to me that [SPOILERS] one route is bdsm and the other is headpats this is the dichotomy that should exist in all otome games
I haven't gotten through all the endings yet, but the fact that head pats are a big part of the shows of affection is absolutely amazing. I love both routes and their pacing. The art is gorgeous, from the backgrounds to the sprites, and I can't wait for Chapter 2! You guys are incredible and I love that information is withheld until there's a reason for it to be brought up, adds so much to the worldbuilding.
this was kind of everything i've been looking for in a visual novel lately. i'm really captivated by the subtle world-building and phenomenal writing, genuinely holding off on buying other fully released novels until i can have this story in its entirety. can't wait !
What a great first episode! Good job guys, the quality is amazing considering you all do that on the side. Looking forward to see/read/hear the rest :)
Nice game, I really like the character designs and the world. I also love the fact that the MC's backstory is not completely known to the players, it already got me hooked because of that and makes me all the more excited for the following chapters.
You know what I didn't like the most about this novel? It was too short :D I'll be waiting for the next chapter, so ... I wish you inspiration and more free time?)))
This sounds so good unfortunately I only have a mobile but from the descriptions of the characters I can tell it's a great story with great writing it's really captivated me so far and hopefully one day I'll be able to play it
Hey so Im a little confused cuz it says only chapter 1 is out but people are talkting about endings? Do endings not normally come after all chapters are done? Im kinda dumb help;;
Hi! While there's only one chapter for the first two love interests out right now, there are multiple ways for those chapters to end depending on what you do. Five per love interest, to be exact.
Hello! We're glad you've decided to try out our game ❤️
The ending guide we made (the downloadable pdf file) has a spoiler-light guide to the good endings where it gives general advice about what the boys prefer on the first page, and then a step-by-step guide to each of the endings on the following pages. Stay on the first page and you're golden.
We can't say for sure when the next instalment is coming or what our final release date for the full project is going to be, unfortunately. All us raccoons work full-time elsewhere, and OBSCURA is our beloved side-project. Sorry we can't give a solid answer to that, but we don't want to make promises we can't keep.
I don't think anyone could say they didn't enjoy this visual novel... There's no way you can not like this masterpiece here! I can't wait for future updates.
If you're looking to update from 1.0 to 1.01, you'll have to download the zip file again. You should be able to continue using your saves from the 1.0 version, though.
Hihi!! I love this game so much I cant wait for the next update! The story is really unique and I really love the art and art style :). We don't have a lot of games like this with such aesthetically style and good storyline, I'm so glad I found this :D

Part 1 of my playthrough

Thank you for playing our demo! 🌙✨ Sorry to disappoint, but we have no plans to add female love interests in OBSCURA.
Thats ok! Still a very good game <3
Bonjour est ce qu’il sera disponible en fr ?
Salut! 😊
Même si on aimerait offrir une traduction, on en aura probablement pas l'occasion avant de 1) avoir terminé le jeu et 2) avoir les moyens pour en payer une. C'est juste trop compliqué en ce moment.
On est désolées 😔 Mais merci de nous avoir demandé! On espère que tu auras l'occasion de profiter du jeu d'une façon ou une autre 🌙✨
merci j'attendrais alors dans le futur
Every demo you make is so dam pretty if you ever make any buyable full game im throwing all my money at you!
this is such a beautiful game, plot-wise and visual-wise. can't wait to see more of it in the future :)
What about 18+ hot scenes in the future?) Is there a chance they will be present in the game?
Are they even possible considering the choice of pronounce function?

the download for window doesn't work.
What can I do?

when the download reaches 100, it says that crashed or it doesn't reach the end at all. it says file not found.
Unfortunately, that sounds like something we can't fix on our end. I just tested downloading the windows version of the game and it worked alright, so the file is definitely there and itch.io should still be working just fine.

-when will the next installment of the game become available ?and what would the timeline look like for the entire game to be published?
