aaaaaaa the art is so good!! (not just the art- but probably the music andstyle of the game haha) I liked the thief since enemies to lovers (i found it cute haha) the priest, I hated his guts so bad- (he's very pretty, but COME ON) and I would literally do anything for the fancy stranger, I am sad that I cant end up with him :')
Ooh, a fancy stranger simp!! Hello hello! 😂We're so glad he made a good impression hehe. Thank you for your kind words - and please look forward to future chapters ✨
The game looks amazing, and the writing is great. I am however glad I strayed onto Keir's route first, since Cirrus's route is not for me ^^; Wanted to get both good ends so I had to pick a lot of options that made me feel uncomfortable 😂
Thank you for your kind words!! ✨ Please don't worry, Cirrus' route is not for everyone, it's totally understandable that you might feel uncomfortable. We're glad you enjoyed Keir's side of the story and the project nonetheless ❤️
WOW! That was soooo good! Amazing work! And Cirrus is so freaking hot, sexy and handsome! Looking forward to the full version) You guys are amazing! p.s. The only con for me was that the player don't see the MC during the game. Unfortunately this often happens in games where players can choose the mc's gender and pronouns. And I can't fully immerse myself in the story where I don't see the protagonist.
Oh thank you so much for the lovely comment!! ❤️We're very flattered hehe. We appreciate the feedback, too. We have no plans on showing the MC's body for now, but that may change in the future ✨
SO. I play a lot of otome games. This first chapter has impressed me so damn much.
Firstly, the art is so beautiful. I can't emphasize this enough. The world building is intricate and detailed but doesn't overwhelm the player.
I played both routes, and I enjoyed Keir's personality and the feeling of belonging in their group. It was sweet and I can see a real beautiful connection in the works.
Now onto the thing that is giving me complete brain rot: Cirrus.
Oooh boy. I absolutely loved him. It may have awakened something in me 😂✋ I am suddenly converted and ready to pray at any moment yes sir. But, seriously, it really captured my attention. And I don't say that often. I love me a red flag and this man is giving them out for free. I cannot wait to see more of this devout priest.
In summary: you guys did an amazing job with such a short chapter. Colour me impressed and eager for the next one.
Mostly wasn't a fan of how many times it took me to get a good ending with Cirrus (considering I'm not into sadism/masochism), but i overall enjoyed playing! i am in LOVE with the MC'S personality and what looks like an enemies to friends / enemies with nsx benefits with Keir.
Definitely one of my favorite tropes and visual novels !! I am SOO looking forward to any endings that involve the Fancy-Looking stranger. Can't wait to see if MC gets / finds what they're looking for, really has me at the edge of my seat thinking about it.
Thank you so much for playing!! 🥰 We totally understand Cirrus' choices aren't exactly everyone's cup of tea, so we're glad you enjoyed the other characters too! ☺️
I haven't even finished the chapter yet, but I've already started shilling restlessly to friends. What a well-crafted game! I'm so invested in the setting, the MC and the story that I'm already itching for more. Every component works so well to create a fantastic experience 💙
As for the characters, Cirrus is already giving me heart palpitations but assuming I survive his route for the chapter I am very eager to meet the thief!
I managed to live to meet Keir and I'm so glad I did! I love love love when there's good banter and Keir's path brought it in spades. I also really enjoyed getting to learn more about the setting; I won't lie, I'm also a little in love with the worldbuilding... And more than a little in love with Keir and his strong and freckled arms >v>;;
Both routes stand out in their own ways, and the writing absolutely *shines* in both. I can't wait to see where things go next! 💙
I don't usually comment or anything but, I swear, the CHOKEHOLD this game has on me. I genuinely cannot stop playing it over. I love it SO SO much so far. I love the fact the MC doesn't have a bland, boring personality and actually has character whilst still being able to divert their decisions, I love how not only beautifully designed but very well written the male leaders are - and lastly, I love how the slowburn leading up to the last couple of scenes with Cirrus. I also love how Keir eventually comes to lower his walls down for the MC, but I'm just way too downbad for Cirrus. Boutta' play his route again for the millionth time. I'm looking very forward to the updates this game will bring!
not seeing nearly enough love for Keir in the comments!! i cant wait for more chapters and a lil more- wink wonk
the music!! the art!! the writing!! stunning and i swear when im able to I'll donate!
I love how ur able to create the protagonists backstory and their previous life through dialogue, it felt extremely smooth and immersive!
truly truly cannot wait for more! i got the bad end the first time i played for Keir and im curious to see if, in later chapters, keir wouldnt give the protagonist away or if the protag would do something to save him!
I've never pursued a sadistic RO before or played a masochist, but this game's dark twisted atmosphere, and Cirrus himself really won me over. I know I shouldn't, but I love him <3
I got his Best End, just choose everything that you think will please him, like accepting to pray when offered (and choosing sussy answers like "pleasure" and "i loved it" and stuff like that). Near the end choose anything but "walk away" and then simply "obey", in short - just be horny and obedient, lol.
Please don't apologize, it's always nice to receive questions!
I would like to preface this response by saying that Cirrus' route is very steeped in this fake lunar religion, and it's only going to get more blasphemous/intense in the next chapters. If this makes you uncomfortable, that is completely okay and understandable ✨ it doesn't need to be everyone's cup of tea, and in that case we would recommend sticking with Keir or other future love interests.
As for getting the best end, I think we do need to tweak the variables a little (bug fixing time!), but for story and character reasons, MC will likely still need to pray in order to get the best ending. If it is of any comfort, the prayer does not necessarily mean that the MC is religious themselves 😊
Thank you for playing Obscura, we really appreciate you taking the time 🥰
Cirrus tickled my priest kink deliciously, thanks a lot! (But seriously, this game looks very interesting, i definitely will be looking forward to the new chapters)
I'm playing right now and I got to cirrus and I immediately left and got with keir but I decide to stay the second time. I've got to say, I'm regretting that choice, getting worse vibes from him than keir. Let's see where this takes me.
overall this game is really good! BG noises are nice the character designs are great and I enjoyed it. I'm excited to see the fancy stranger as a potential route and maybe even see a continuation for the other two? and a possible happy ending for us where we don't die from disease????
Had me cackling through the thief's route. Very happy with the "Best Ending: Welcome Home." If this game gets a patreon or kickstarter, would be happy to support to see it fully made.
I really really love what I've seen so far. Got best end on Keir route <3 The writing is really strong in this one, and the art and music complements the story so well. While playing I was always curious how it will continue. The setting is interesting and gives each character an intriguing background. How did they end up here? How will the MC be entangled with them? What kind of world are we exploring in Obscura? I'm really looking forward to the continuation of this!
I struggle to understand why is this game not more popular. Everything about this is beautiful and well-crafted from the atmosphere to the writing to the visual. Even the OST is immersing and gorgeous. I really hope the OST is shared or available to purchase somehow because I was hooked from the get-go.
I also adore the protagonist. In fact, they’re my favourite part of the game. They’re very witty at times without being forced to sound funny. Honestly if you made a game where we can romance the protagonist, I’d go for them.
Took the words straight out of my mouth. The MC has such a well determined personality, it's a breath of fresh air from most interactive stories I'm used to. Since they are not a blank canvas, it allows us to have a more well defined opinion on *them* instead of the *options allowed to them*, because all options seem like something they would do depending on their mood/control at the time, instead of "personality traits", you know? So yeah, I'm rooting for them. I hope they succeed in their mission.
Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the music ❤️ Also as an update, I got more of my friends playing Obscura and all of them want to kiss Vesper on the mouth 😭
I have always thought that masks are such beautiful accessories, so of course I had to download this! ( :< My inner child is very disappointed masks are not more commonplace in the real world haha)
So far I really love all the visuals, and since I'm sure a lot of people are going to tell you just how much they like the character art... I'm going to comment on something else that will probably be overlooked. So, the background art *really* fits the ambience... Something about the fact that you can't distinguish everything, seeing just outlines, simplified shapes and textures... Almost everything painted in a same colour unless there's a light source really sells the feeling that you are in a very dark location. Also, the noise texture overlay is a nice touch too... You know that kind of dark granulated texture that you can see sometimes from behind your eyelids when you close your eyes? Probably sounds odd, but it reminded me of that. Haha.
Anyway, I'm off to seeing all routes. Thanks for sharing your game! Hopefully I'll be able to provide you some constructive critique, or at least find a few typos. :)
Thank you so much for your detailed comment, it really made us smile 😊 constructive criticism is always super appreciated, especially since there wasn't as much time to test this time around ✨ Enjoy!!

Papa Cirrus loves you!! Stay tuned 🌙✨
No problem at all, you deserve all the love!! I'm ready and waiting to repent my sins ❤️✨

You actually- omg, we are so flattered 😭❤️ it's glorious!!
I've never pursued a sadistic RO before or played a masochist, but this game's dark twisted atmosphere, and Cirrus himself really won me over. I know I shouldn't, but I love him <3
Thank you for playing!! Your comment made us smile 😊 And hey, Cirrus loves you too 🤣

👀🌙 Thank you so much for playing, stay tuned!!
I'm so excited for more of this game to be released!!
Aaahh thank you!! ✨ Stay tuned!
Hi! Im enjoying the game so fat ,but struggling to get good endings, is there a guide somewhere?
If anyone got Cirrus good ending ,tell mw how to get it?
I got his Best End, just choose everything that you think will please him, like accepting to pray when offered (and choosing sussy answers like "pleasure" and "i loved it" and stuff like that). Near the end choose anything but "walk away" and then simply "obey", in short - just be horny and obedient, lol.
Oh , thank you ! I knew it had something to do with me not praying hh
This was the perfect response 🤣 we don't have a guide now but for later chapters we might just release one just in case!
Thank you for playing and being sus with us 👀🌙
Hi! Thanks for the response !
I wanted to ask you if you don't mind, can I still get the best ending if I don't choose the pray option ? I can't do it due to personal reasons
Also ,I am sorry if I am bothering you with many questions.
Please don't apologize, it's always nice to receive questions!
I would like to preface this response by saying that Cirrus' route is very steeped in this fake lunar religion, and it's only going to get more blasphemous/intense in the next chapters.

Thank you for playing Obscura, we really appreciate you taking the time 🥰
Thank you for the answer ! I really appreciate it 💓
Cirrus tickled my priest kink deliciously, thanks a lot! (But seriously, this game looks very interesting, i definitely will be looking forward to the new chapters)
Thank you, so happy to hear!! 👀 You'll be happy to hear we've got more nasty content incoming soon 🌙
THE NASTIER THE BETTER

"The gall."
Had me cackling through the thief's route. Very happy with the "Best Ending: Welcome Home." If this game gets a patreon or kickstarter, would be happy to support to see it fully made.
Thank you so much, this made us so happy to read!! We're unsure about monetization yet, but we'll keep you all posted ✨
Going to church: Was beaten up and stabed
Going rouge: Got "friends" and get closer to target.
LOL.
Oh yeah, can't trust anything down here 🤣 thank you for playing!
I'm loving it so far
Thank you ✨
I really really love what I've seen so far. Got best end on Keir route <3 The writing is really strong in this one, and the art and music complements the story so well.

Thank you!! 😭❤️ That's so kind of you! Once Cajsa has more tracks ready, we'll consider releasing them as a neat package 🥰
(Also, MC/Vesper appreciates you!! We'll keep a mental note of this 👀)
Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the music ❤️ Also as an update, I got more of my friends playing Obscura and all of them want to kiss Vesper on the mouth 😭
