Finished Keir's current route and love him to bits, the banter is amazing. Now I just started my first meeting with Cirrus and, ooof. This man is doing things to me and I was not prepared.
Great demo! Each of the character's storylines were engaging(Keir and Oleander were my personal favorites), and I loved seeing the different perspectives of people in this underground market. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the full version :)
I recently unlocked all of the endings and so far Oleander has to be my fav! I absolutely in love with this game and its stunning art, its story is very unique and amusing. I love how many options there is to the game and how many endings they're could be to a person's route! Endless possibilities! I can't wait to play the full game, totally something I would spend my money on! Thank you so much for this lovely game. <3
Hi there how are you will, I am so sad , I played the game before the update and it worked in joiplay and now it doesn't can you please add an android version please I love the game so much and I don't have computer or laptop to open the game.
So.. I just finished all the routes and I'm obsessed! I really like the stories that we get to see with each of the LIs. Also, I love how we get to see more of the MC's personality as we meet each LI. I love the art and music in addition to plot and characters. The user interface is also amazing and I appreciate the content warnings included and the safeword feature for taking a break after any of the plot points. I'm looking forward to Chapters 2 and 3 in the future! Will definitely buy early access -- thank you Rotten Raccoons <3 (Also, I voted in the Twitter poll for favorite LI and it was so difficult to do so -- all of them are fun!).
The story of this VN is so unique. I have not read anything like it before. A black market under a mountain where people live? It's very intriguing. From the mask wearing, to the personalities of the Love interests, this game is a one of a kind masterpiece. I really liked Kier and Francesco. I found the other two love interests, interesting but not really my cup of tea. I'm looking forward to the full release of the game, however, I do hope it is not ridiculously expensive like some of the other VN's on here. Overall, I really like it.
Played the first chapter for everyone's best endings the past couple days and I LOVED it. This game is amazing. From the art & to the plot? I love it all☺️🙌. Great work! & Thank you for continuing to work on such a great game, can't wait to see more!❤️
If someone could help me I'd GREATLY appreciate it, I'm having trouble with Cirrus' endings and I keep getting the Bad End, even though I followed the guide a bunch of times
I struggled a bit with Cirrus too. When I finally got his good end, what I basically did was I chose all of the options that were submissive/obedient and that made the mc think being submissive was nice, and I interfered when Cirrus was giving the knife to the stranger. Idk if this will help tho bc I didn't look at the guide so I don't know if I'm saying anything new. I tried :)
The bit that might be getting you may be the 'yes' choices. Choosing the "Yes" (in bold if that is too difficult to see) might be the most confusing one; it's when he's offering his 'help.' He also appears to like it if you request him to punish you. And, of course, when you go with the 'this was pleasurable' choices whenever they pop up. It gets to the point where your character instinctively says 'yes' to him; I believe that is the signifier you have reached his 'good' ending.
I was hooked to the story really fast. I like the more mature tone of this game and Fran is clearly my favorite. I can't wait to play more.
Nonetheless, I can't download the ending guide. Yet I endlessly downloaded the game in hope to find the file. So is there another way to have it ? (I really want to have Fran good ending, please.)
The pdf wouldn't open for you? It opens fine for me. I can tell you the right choices, if you still need them. Then, you need to get his purse back, which I'll assume you already know how to do.
SPOILERS
Trust him. / I left a long time ago. / Tease him. / Flirt / Bullshit / Apologise
Thank you for you answer ! I can finally have the good end. :) And I just don't find the endind file when I download the game. Isn't it supposed to be there ?
The ending guide is a separate file from the game itself. When you go to the download page for the game there should be three options: the PC build of the game, the MacOS build of the game, and "Ending Guide [Chapter 1.5].pdf", and that last one is the thing you need to download for the ending guide
Totally worth 5 stars. Great art, charcters and writing! I like the darker, more mature tone, with bits of wit sprinkled in to lighten the mood. But, erm, Cirrus? I've only got 2 words: messed-up and creepy, lol!
Possible spoiler, but not really? In Francesco's route, when they're talking to the bouncer before entering the club, there's a sudden few seconds of loud heartbeat. Is that supposed to be there? It seems like it's not supposed to be there till later inside the club...
I have been trying to get on Oleander's and Franceso's path for a while now and I tried to use to the other's information about getting on their path but with no use. The only path's I have done is Keir and Cirrus so if any one can tell me I would appreciate it.
If you don't have the option to leave then you're playing in an old version of the game and will need to download the updated version. You'll keep your saves and unlocked endings and CGs when you download the new version. We do recommend starting Francesco and Oleander's route from a fresh start, though, to avoid any possible bugs.
The new version is the only one available at the moment. Download the Chapter 1.5 version here on itch.io (that build hasn't made it to Steam yet) and unzip it and you should be all set with the newest build.
Spoiler!! When you encounter the fight, instead of leaving to go to the church or staying where you are, click "leave." With that, depending on which choices you choose when you enter the building, you might meet either one of them. If you approach the wealthy stranger, you'll meet Francesco, if you approach the laughing crowd, you'll meet Oleander. The rest it up to you, I used the guide to help me with some parts.
Hi! I kind of need some help on how to get to Francesco's Route because I'm having a bit of a trouble. Can someone probably help me, please? Thanks a bunch ToT
Only routes I've unlocked and finished so far is Keir, Cirrus, and Oleander.
you can just go on Oleander’s route but not accept the job offer, then you’ll automatically get on Fran’s route. Or choose the option to meet the wealthy stranger after you get into the tavern
For those who are in desperate need of help for Francesco's route with the purse, I will come to your aid:
First, go to the bar. The bartender will drop a hint.
After that, you have to go to the dark corner. I think you have to look in these two spots, not necessarily in that order, before finally going to the front, where the sound stage is. The thief's masks will lie there.
Finding the masks should unlock a "center of the crowd" option.
there were a million things i could've guessed about what shady things cirrus was involved in AND NONE OF IT WOULD'VE BEEN CLOSE TO WHAT IT REALLY WAS (love the game sm tho <3) cant wait for the next update :)
Iirc, the devs mentioned, on their tumblr, that we will get to eventually see the lis's bare faces at different points in their routes.
I think them unmasking for the mc will be an emotional scene, that will most likely occur only near the end of their routes. 👀
In the meantime, here's a a fun question for anyone who wants to speculate, here in the comments, what do you think everyone's eye colour(s) are?
:D I'm betting 1 penny on Cirrus having a pair of hypnotic eyes with central heterochromia, and Francesco having amber eyes that look like pools of honey in the sun light.
Seeing as Keir's a ginger, his eyes are probably green or blueish. As for Oleander, well, the man is just unpredictable. Idk if unnatural eye colors exist in this universe, but I could imagine him with something like bright yellow?
this game is seriously amazing. to the plot, dialogue and character designs. THE SOUNDTRACK IS GODLY. im literally dancing rn. PLEASE RELEASE A SONDTRACK ON YOUTUBE OR SOMETHING THE MUSIC IS TOO GOOD. ESPECIALLY AT OLEANDERS PART.
Replaying the update again and i just have to comment on all the detail i really loved in Oleander’s route. On my first play i noticed that every time you go to the Sateen Vesper finds different things to choose from, but i didn’t expect there to be that many different interesting items. So of course, i had to replay until i find all them ( loved the tiny Vesper hooded doll ). And the way Oleander found a way to flirt with Vesper almostno matter what they brought, just chef’s kiss, he’s so much fun. I highly recommend everyone to read through all the different trinkets you can get.
But that aside, the entire update is so incredible. I love Vesper even more than i already did, and i can feel the love the devs put in them as well. The artwork is phenomenal as well, Fran is so pretty ( thank you for making Vesper mention it on multiple occasions, we all were thinking it) and Oleander’s sprites are so expressive!! Big probs to the music composer as well, i don’t usually play games with sound on, but having it played in the background here was quite pleasant and added to the atmosphere a lot. Tack så mycket för sån underbar spel<3
Can someone help me? I updated the game last night and I'm playing right now, but none of the choices have changed and i'm not sure which variation would work. I'm trying to meet Francesco and no choices pop up for him until after the 2nd visit with Cirrius.
I love the protagonist personality so much! Vesper is sarcastic, witty and so much fun.. you usually don't get to play as such an interesting character in visual novels! and of course I love Keir with all my heart <3 <3
i love love love this so much actually ,, might be one of the best vns I've ever played up to date !! i really like the tiny details and the amount of consideration put in for the players (the safeword and aftercare spaces were very nice and sweet !! really appreciated) the way we could modify things to our needs was a really kind touch, thank you !!
the story is so interesting and the plot just pulls you in, so many questions !! i love lore !! the music fits so well with the vibe of the game, and don't get me started on the amazing art !!! its so so well made and one of my fav things was the way the saved files were named different things depending on which part you saved at, really cool !!!
and of course the characters ,, OOGHH the characters .. i love them all so much they're all so different but at the same time each of their routes were so so interesting !! (oleander and keir have my heart) the different kinds of dialogue and banter between the player and the characters were also really enjoyable to read !!
thank you so much for your hard work on this amazing game !! i wrote a lot 2 show my appreciation JDJFDH i really enjoyed it a lot !!!

This blew my fucking mind. I need MOAR!

ARE THOSE LITTLE FANGS I SEE!?!?! This character is a personal attack on my purity and delicate sensibilities!

Please tell me how to get his best route I'm struggling lol
Cirrus' charme affected me a little to much in the beginnung for that he became the most unsettling character...
I played every route and loved the game. The story is very unique and interesting. The dialogues never get boring and the artwork is beautiful!
I knew I was walking into a Vipers den the moment Cirrus came on screen but I've made so many bad decisions in my life what's one more.
Hi there how are you will, I am so sad , I played the game before the update and it worked in joiplay and now it doesn't can you please add an android version please I love the game so much and I don't have computer or laptop to open the game.

Are there plans for an android version? Unfortunately it dosent work with JoiPlay.
I just finished the first route on chapter 1.5. Francesco is absolutely adorable!!
And Vesper is the coolest MC ever <3

I am crazy about the priest and look forward to the following chapters.
Anyone got Keir's best ending on their first try and now too scare to replay to get the other endings ?
Just me D,: ?
If someone could help me I'd GREATLY appreciate it, I'm having trouble with Cirrus' endings and I keep getting the Bad End, even though I followed the guide a bunch of times
If someone could give tips ILYSM
I struggled a bit with Cirrus too. When I finally got his good end, what I basically did was I chose all of the options that were submissive/obedient and that made the mc think being submissive was nice, and I interfered when Cirrus was giving the knife to the stranger.

Basically? Be obedient, eager, and a masochist.

im hungry for more, which is rare on this platform, good job, rocket racoons.
such a good game i loved cirruses route <33
Can anyone help me get the 15th ending for Francesco I followed the guide but I only got 14th ending
where did you find the guide? im trying to get all the endings but i never found the guide
You have to download the game first and then you can see the Ending guide for chapter 1.5
Totally worth 5 stars. Great art, charcters and writing! I like the darker, more mature tone, with bits of wit sprinkled in to lighten the mood. But, erm, Cirrus? I've only got 2 words: messed-up and creepy, lol!
Possible spoiler, but not really?
In Francesco's route, when they're talking to the bouncer before entering the club, there's a sudden few seconds of loud heartbeat. Is that supposed to be there? It seems like it's not supposed to be there till later inside the club...
the game is awesome! the art, writing, everything is just abjdawiuhn
but, does cirrus have a good ending? the best one i managed to get was the normal one. any hints? i'm desperate lololol.
ok nvm i got it, i'm a fool.
I have been trying to get on Oleander's and Franceso's path for a while now and I tried to use to the other's information about getting on their path but with no use. The only path's I have done is Keir and Cirrus so if any one can tell me I would appreciate it.
When there is a ruckus outside the church there are the options to hide in the church, stay and watch what happens, or to leave. If you leave, you'll be in the place to start Oleander and Francesco's routes!
If you don't have the option to leave then you're playing in an old version of the game and will need to download the updated version. You'll keep your saves and unlocked endings and CGs when you download the new version. We do recommend starting Francesco and Oleander's route from a fresh start, though, to avoid any possible bugs.
Thank you so much for help!!
I am facing the same problem... Where can I get the new version?
The new version is the only one available at the moment. Download the Chapter 1.5 version here on itch.io (that build hasn't made it to Steam yet) and unzip it and you should be all set with the newest build.
ohkk thanku so much! I actually downloaded the steam version
hi! i know this is a bit late, but how do i get the franceso's route? leaving js takes me to oleander's 😭

i tried what you wrote but it didnt showed the "center of the crowd" option, do you know what went wrong in my choices t.t
never mind i got it, thank you!!
there were a million things i could've guessed about what shady things cirrus was involved in AND NONE OF IT WOULD'VE BEEN CLOSE TO WHAT IT REALLY WAS (love the game sm tho <3) cant wait for the next update :)
I I hope that in this update there are some kisses..., I've been waiting for this for a long time 😩
So there was an update and i wasn't aware- damnn
does oleander only have two good endings and no best ending?
Oleander's route has three bad ends, a neutral end, and a good end 💙
Do we ever get to see their faces in this chapter? Have yet to play this but I'm hoping we do (ಥ _ಥ)
Iirc, the devs mentioned, on their tumblr, that we will get to eventually see the lis's bare faces at different points in their routes.

As for Oleander, well, the man is just unpredictable.
Idk if unnatural eye colors exist in this universe, but I could imagine him with something like bright yellow?
Cirrus might have harsh grey eyes. Very light grey and kind of creepy looking!
I'm guessing Francesco will have golden brown eyes. It will definitely suit him.
Keir, I think would have the most gorgeous, emerald green eyes. <3 I hope!
Oleander, Dark black eyes! Very mysterious, like the sky on a moonless night!
Those are my guesses :)
Absolutely spectacular! One of the best of the genre. Can't wait for more chapters and more updates !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this game is seriously amazing. to the plot, dialogue and character designs. THE SOUNDTRACK IS GODLY. im literally dancing rn. PLEASE RELEASE A SONDTRACK ON YOUTUBE OR SOMETHING THE MUSIC IS TOO GOOD. ESPECIALLY AT OLEANDERS PART.

Same! I've no idea what's going on.
Maybe we should delete the file and reinstall Obscura? And make sure to completely delete it? Might help or sth, idk though.
maybe? I'll try that and thank you for trying to help me!! I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner, lol. I'll lyk how it goes.
It worked!!! Tysm
No probs :)
omg I love Cirrus so much!! Really amazing work <3
