Quick question: Will there be a difference between the itch.io and Steam versions? I've played the demo here on itch.io, but I plan on getting the EA/fullgame on Steam.
I find it hilariously ironic (and probably says something troubling about me as a person) that the only character I’ve gotten a good ending with easily, and on the first try, has been Cirrus 😅 Everyone else is a STRUGGLE. Im gonna give that ending chart a gander for help..
Francesco's second chapter is still in the pipeline, so you'll need to wait for that. That said, there's not no Francesco content in the upcoming release 😉
We don't have a browser play option, but in general when folks have difficulty launching the game the most common issue is an antivirus freaking out. It depends on what antivirus you're using, but it's usually possible to whitelist a folder to say "things in here are safe". Our game does not contain any viruses, but it's obviously up to you to decide to fiddle with your antivirus if that's what causing the problem.
Edit: It's just occurred to me that if you're calling it an app you may be trying to download it from a mobile device. OBSCURA doesn't have a mobile version, if that's what's going on.
I made an account just to write a review and it's 2am so this might not be most eloquent but WOW y'all cooked! just spent the last few hours playing and exploring. Absolutely love the concept, the characters, the diversity and WOW even the side characters have such interesting and impactful silhouettes! Mad props to the character designer/s because being able to convey so much info in JUST a silhouette is so impressive.
Vesper is also such a fun MC, they're smart, quick-witted and sassy; one of my favourite MCs that I've encountered and they make me laugh a lot. Perfect amount of both "damsel in distress" and capable! I love the mask and cloak designs, I'm curious to see if you'll add more as the game goes on!
The boys all have so much charm, all in very different ways. I went into it thinking I may only like Cirrus based on design but as I played each of the routes I really love all of them. I cannot express how much I appreciate seeing well written morally grey characters! I think I'm most curious about how Oleander's route will play out, but Keir has me swooning and feeling so soft. Cirrus is incredibly captivating (not to mention beautiful) and I can't wait to see what happens there. I really love that I can't tell if I can trust Francesco at all, it makes me wanna find out even if it kills me!
Also, the safeword feature is such a thoughtful idea, as well as the various accessibility options available (this is the first time I have ever seen options for dyslexia).
That's enough word vomit, best of luck to the team and I cannot wait to see more <3
We don't have plans on doing a mobile port of OBSCURA any time soon, since that will require a revision of the UI to be mobile-friendly, among other reasons. The Joiplay tool might work for you if you use an Android device, but we can't guide you through the installation process for that since we personally don't use it (although we can confirm we use the Ren'py engine, so you'll likely need the Ren'py plugin to make it work).
My face when Cirrus: ☉ ‿ ⚆ excuse me, sir- father- what?
All jokes aside, very good world building and story, art is absolutely gorgeous and the bgm fits the atmosphere very well! This will be A++ just take my money already. Congratulations on creating characters that are all intriguing in their own ways.
i literally play this game over and over and Cirrus is actually my number one opp like genuinely that man is the devil. he is VILLAINOUS. (Keir on top!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I kept on dying. Like a lot. Like I didn't even know there was a good ending at first. Even as a very stable person, the aftercare screen is very sweet and very much appreciated. And despite the first thing I said, I still enjoyed it a lot and I can't wait to see the full game!
THIS IS SO DAMN GOODDDD!!!! i love the aftercare screen so muchhhh!!! i played Cirrus's route and ngl i got scared of him and goes to the aftercare screen and talk to the main character. i feel much better tbh. I LOVE THE CHARACTERS AND ALL OF THE STORIES ROUTE!! i love Keir so much. cant wait for the next chapter
i got all of the ending without no problem except for the best ending of Oleander. it took awhile to do it, and i got tired and download the guide book hehe >:)
The safeword menu is just so perfect and good, it makes me so safe, i never thought i would need it, as an diagnosed depressed person, this SURELY made my heart melts. Some small things can be good big things to people in some way. Thank you for adding this, im so gratefull, it looks like its nothing, but for me and other people means a lot. (Im not a english speaker, so if i wrote anything wrong, correct me, please.)
I do really love Cirrus!! Very good, very good game, whether it's the plot, music, or illustrations, they are all fantastic. I'm really looking forward to your updates!!! I have always loved you and been waiting for you!!omg i can't help recommanding this to all of my frd!!(cry loudly)
Just for asking a safeword before anything else and having this great aftercare screen, this game is already amazing. And then it's just got such a rich atmosphere, the protag is believable, and well written and the world is just chef's kiss. I know the focus for these games is on the love interests, but just the universe and the writing has me awestruck o.o And Cirrus... I can't spoiler anything, but <3 >.< Haven't tried other routes yet, but I'm super excited for the next chapter.
I just got the Best End with Kier and im INVESTED with this, istg im going to play it until i get all the ending possible. I love this game and I can't wait for the full game to come out because i will SURELLY get hyperfixated on it!
Not only i love the concept of the game, the art, the soundtrack but i love how well it works. I love how fluid the dialogues go and for me it went incredibly smooth. I really have no bad things to say about this game
I was just looking around, and as soon as I downloaded the game, I got myself hooked and immersed in the story. all about it is just immaculate. I love the "main character"'s personality, plus the interactions with others are fluid and seem not forced or superficial. Thank you all for your work, and give us a chance to enjoy your creation with us
the art is stunning, the music was so enjoyable and of course, the story kept my attention and had me wanting more! my fav is absolutely Cirrus. i love me a hot, red flag lol looking forward to chapter 2!
this is so cool! i love the character designs, endings and cgs. on my first play, i got the best ending with cirrus (we are locked in now) and enjoyed it a lot! amazing work, devs :))
wow. genuinely, the safeword/aftercare feature is wonderful. i got a bit overwhelmed by a scene and decided to use it, and the sweet dialogue w/ the protagonist actually made me cry a little. it's such a rare feature in games, but so very well done and much appreciated by me. lots of love to the devs/writers.

It's the same on both platforms, choose whatever suits you best.

also this is Wilhelm9218 btw. I just post under my studio account on ich.io. 😊
will we get more Francesco with the new release? <3
Francesco's second chapter is still in the pipeline, so you'll need to wait for that. That said, there's not no Francesco content in the upcoming release 😉
It looks so interesting but for some reason I cant open the app whenever I download the file. Is there perhaps a way to play this from the browser?

I fear I am in love with Keir

I love the safe space screen so much 😭 I never had to use it, but I think it’s such a great idea !
i absolutely love this game but i can not get pass Keir for the life of me :cry:
if anyone knows how to get past him please tell me!!
If you pick "Stay and see what happens next", you will always meet Keir. Pick one of the other two choices in that menu to meet different fellows.
how do i get the good endings for cirrus? i keep following the guide but i keep getting the bad ending.....
Will I be able to play on a tablet? Recently moved and my laptop is a brick

(I've only gotten good endings so far)
i literally play this game over and over and Cirrus is actually my number one opp like genuinely that man is the devil. he is VILLAINOUS. (Keir on top!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

This game was a pleasure to play, I was gonna go with Cirrus but Keir swept me off my feet (literally). I can't wait for more
I just got the Best End with Kier and im INVESTED with this, istg im going to play it until i get all the ending possible. I love this game and I can't wait for the full game to come out because i will SURELLY get hyperfixated on it!
