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!!!
i tried to play this but got triggered a couple moments in so i decided it'd be best to simply save it for other people, but i still decided to comment because it is truly an amazing game! the art, the safeword function, the characters- ect! the fandom this game has is definitely deserved!
I downloaded Obscura a month ago and it honestly hasn't left my mind since. The writing is great, the characters are compelling, and the Aftercare dialog is something I didn't even know I wanted in a visual novel. Thanks so much, devs! I'm eagerly awaiting the next parts. 💙
I came from the steam version and after learning that only two of the four routes were available I thought it over and planned to download the itch.io version, but I did so only after completing a first run of cirrus and keir. I was a little disappointed because I was expecting to have to go through everything again to get to where I was, but imagine my surprise when my progress was kept! Don't know how you did it devs, but just wanted to say that I love whatever little magic trick you did, it put a smile on my face.
Thank you! This is actually a built-in feature of our engine, Ren'py, so no magic required from us 😊 All version of Obscura save their data to the same file in your computer (unless we actively tell the game to save and load to a new file), to make sure moving from version to version is easier for all players.
I've had this game's name written down for a while now, just got around to palying it, honestly LOVE IT to bits. I love the art, I love the music, I love the characters so much (thank you for Cirrus in particular, I never realised my religious issues were that bad until he showed up 😂), and I cannot WAIT to drag all of my friends into it and talk them to death about it. I also cannot wait for the full game's release but no pressure, don't overwork yourselves!
I just finished playing the whole demo with all the endings with each character and safe to say, I'm absolutely in love with this game!<3 CANT WAIT FOR MORE!! As for the characters, from my perspective, I did the not-made-for-me route with Cirrus. I like him the least T-T Though he's a well written chrctr, as smn with dominant personality- He just doesnt sit well with me and with him, it's really like "POV: You have the villain's interest". After doing the darkest route first (for me), I was able to enjoy other characters way more!! IM SOOOOO SOOOOO IN LOVE WITH KEIR!!! Keir best boy, I WANT MORE OF HIM PLSSS. I love that sassy mf! I love the dynamic between him & MC and he's on the top of my fave list. Then will be Oleander. That hot cocky mf, he so hot that I melt. I love how in the best route, MC & him matches energy so well and the chemistry and sexual tension between them OHOHOHOHO I WANT MORE OF HIM TOOOO! And let's not forget Francesco, my sussy sweet little munchkin. He's so adorable, I'll happily adopt him and give him lots of hugs. Though the inkling feeling that he's hiding smthg real big and SPOILER ALERT!!!! might even be faking his whole personality, makes me more intrigued about his story route!! I just wanna say thank you to all the devs for this amazing Masterpiec!! I enjoyed it a lot! A LOT!!!
i just finished this chapter with Keir (haven't met the other characters yet, this is my first run) And I can say I already love this game. It seems like we're not in the typical stereotypes of visual novels characters and it's nice, the chemistry with Keir is great as well. The design is so beautiful too and the story captivating. I'm going to do the other runs but I'm already excited for chapter 2 The only little thing I could say is, for non native english speakers, some sentences or expressions are difficult to understand, even with a translation.

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

i love men and stuff but i was literally just jamming out to the music the entire time LOL
i just finished this chapter with Keir (haven't met the other characters yet, this is my first run) And I can say I already love this game. It seems like we're not in the typical stereotypes of visual novels characters and it's nice, the chemistry with Keir is great as well. The design is so beautiful too and the story captivating.
I'm going to do the other runs but I'm already excited for chapter 2
