developer's original words: Chapter 1.5 will be free forever. When it’s time to release Chapter 2, we will charge for the game at a discounted rate. If you buy the game during the early access period, you will get Chapter 3 for free when it comes out. After Chapter 3 is released the game will be done and we will take it out of early access and charge full price for it.
This a gem I stumbled upon. There are no words to describe just how good this game is. Like genuinely my jaw kept dropping throughout the whole game. From the intro to the different endings and the little details, nothing was left out. The major effort put into this game shows in every aspect. I must admit, it is quite hard for me to catch genuine interest in a game, but this one got me fully invested and I played it non-stop. It got me eager for updates. It's just so rich in many areas and there's room for all sorts of feelings. The game actually has a lore itself, it's not just about the four characters, which I personally liked. All the characters are SOO FINEEE. I actually find, personally, for the mc to usually get kind of annoying when it comes to this type of games, but this mc definitely never seemed annoying to me at all, they are actually very interesting themselves. To be just the first chapter, the game is already so impressive. I'm so excited for the next chapter. IDC HOW LONG I GOTTA WAIT, I WILL BE HERE WAITING. This game is now in my top favorites, and seriously, it is a must-play if you are into this type of games.
PS: I absolutely loved the aftercare feature. I likely won't be needing it myself, but I find it to be such a sweet thought. I believe that such future should be implemented in more games of this type, it can be very useful. It just shows how much the devs care for their players, honestly.
(I am so sorry for the big ahh paragraph, but I needed to describe just how good this game is.)
Guys i'm sad since there's no good ending with Cirrus i mean like i want to end with him but you know his real self ( face ) , for those who played the demo , i want to know if there's a good ending please !
It's available in the game already! You can download the pdf Ending Guide to get instructions on how to get Cirrus' good end, since it's a pretty specific list of requirements.
im actually in love with this game ohhhh my god. the visuals, the characters, the MUSIC, the little shadowy sprites for other background characters... its all put together so thoughtfully
The art is phenomenal, the characterization is phenomenal, and the setting is phenomenal. Every character has such depth that makes them feel rather real; of course, they each have their theatrics and quirks that are fitting for fiction, but I digress, they're written well! I especially enjoy that the MC has their own business to focus on, pitting some interactions as annoying rather than endearing (to the MC, if one chooses). I eat up the hilarious dialog exchanges that ensue each time. Lastly, the worldbuilding is a bundle of mystery and intrigue that I'm genuinely invested in, and I find myself feeling easily immersed in the world. Actual last thing; again, the writing is delicious. Tension and suspense and character exchanges, they're all written so wonderfully. I cannot accurately describe how nice this game is. I look forward to the future, regardless of the wait!
This game is so interesting yet terrifying and uncomfortable (lol) but i'll continue playing because the story is great and i'm hoping ill be able to save the mc and they can get their deserved happy ending!
hiii I’ve been going through some trouble trying to download games on my phone is it even possible to download games from here I just got an iPhone 15 and I genuinely don’t know how to download games
I have just finished Cirrus's and Keir's best end routes and I can say I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!! the Aftercare accsssible through the safeword is so sweet to have >< every game should have one !
I have only done Oleander's route so far, but I am in love with this game already! Also, out of curiosity, I did the aftercare thing, and that is so, so sweet. I likely won't need it, but it's wonderful that it's there. I can't wait for the game to come out. I'm so excited for what comes next with Oleander's and am certainly going to go for all the others as well.
This game is so cool omg like, THE VISUALS???? EXCUSE ME?? And the NPCs are so adorable, Im IN LOVE with this game. I can't wait for the full ver !! Also, no words can describe how much I love my bbg Keir.
Anyways, I definitely recommend that game if you're into Dark Romance !!
Hi Devs! I was looking to redownload the game for the valentines day update, but I could only download the ending guide? I looked up why I couldn't download the game files again, and I think it might have to do with the zip files on itch.io needing to be tagged with which platforms it can be used for. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Just thought I'd let you know, and I can't wait for chapter 2! <3 (Btw, you don't know how much I love the freckles/sun spots on Kier's shoulders and arms. I'm FOAMING AT THE MOUTH)
I have only played Cirrus so far and I absolutely loved his route. It woke up my priest kink again... and I was playing so shamelessly the first time that I was sure I was going to have the bad ending ! hahahaaa !! So I was so delighted to have his best ending, and I can't wait to play more <3
I can't see it , are you supposed to do someones route for it first ? I've done Oleander's and keir's but not the rest ( awesome game btw thanks for the hard work !)
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.

Is the full game going to be free? I love this game so much!

Spoiler Alert , kind of !
Guys i'm sad since there's no good ending with Cirrus i mean like i want to end with him but you know his real self ( face ) , for those who played the demo , i want to know if there's a good ending please !
late reply but there’s one ending called “he’ll protect you” or smth like that and I think it does count as a good ending
np lol but that's really a relief to hear , how can i reach it or will it be available on the complete edition of the vn game ?!
It's available in the game already! You can download the pdf Ending Guide to get instructions on how to get Cirrus' good end, since it's a pretty specific list of requirements.
thank you for the reply , i didn't notice it .
everything is so amazing ab this game i love itttt, the mc has business and is unique
im actually in love with this game ohhhh my god. the visuals, the characters, the MUSIC, the little shadowy sprites for other background characters... its all put together so thoughtfully
The art is phenomenal, the characterization is phenomenal, and the setting is phenomenal. Every character has such depth that makes them feel rather real; of course, they each have their theatrics and quirks that are fitting for fiction, but I digress, they're written well!

This game is so interesting yet terrifying and uncomfortable (lol) but i'll continue playing because the story is great and i'm hoping ill be able to save the mc and they can get their deserved happy ending!
I just want MC to be happy and get their cure, they did not deserve to go through all of that
REALLL the story is so entertaining though but its terrifying and uncomfortable lol
hiii I’ve been going through some trouble trying to download games on my phone is it even possible to download games from here I just got an iPhone 15 and I genuinely don’t know how to download games
i dont think you can download on iphone, the apple symbol is for macs. hope this helped!
I have just finished Cirrus's and Keir's best end routes and I can say I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!! the Aftercare accsssible through the safeword is so sweet to have >< every game should have one !
Keir is baby
I have only done Oleander's route so far, but I am in love with this game already! Also, out of curiosity, I did the aftercare thing, and that is so, so sweet.

how do you trigger the valentines update
Hi Devs! I was looking to redownload the game for the valentines day update, but I could only download the ending guide? I looked up why I couldn't download the game files again, and I think it might have to do with the zip files on itch.io needing to be tagged with which platforms it can be used for. Correct me if I'm wrong!

How do you access the Valentine's Day Story?
The bonus story can be found in the Extras menu once you've unlocked it.
I can't see it , are you supposed to do someones route for it first ? I've done Oleander's and keir's but not the rest ( awesome game btw thanks for the hard work !)
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!）

You've come across perfectly, no worries ❤️
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!
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 :-(
however judging by what i played through and saw i'm sure they are just as good as the rest of it

Will Android add it?
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.
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
