I once heard a story...

There's a marketplace under the mountain where anything can be bought and sold. Visitors wear masks to become faceless strangers. It's home to the unscrupulous, the outcast, and the desperate.

You're one of the desperate.

Strangers with their own secrets and ambitions can show you ways through the market. They'll guide you to your goal, but don't trust them to have your best interests at heart. 

Features

  • The first chapter of a multi-chapter series.
  • Choose the protagonist's name, pronouns, and mask.
  • Four mysterious love interests.
  • Over 65k words.
  • A dark, mature story with many ways to fail.
  • Timed choices! Or turn them off for an easier game.
  • Original music by Cajsa.
  • Use the default, OpenDyslexic, or Atkinson Hyperlegible font for ease of reading.

Although unexpected....I need Cirrus so bad it isnt even funnyyy! I am dying for more!

(I've only gotten good endings so far)

( 2)

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

( 1)

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!

( 1)

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.)

got the best end w heir :3

Just started but the safeword menu is the cutest and most creative thing ive ever seen

anyone know the artist of this game? i'd love to see more of their work

(1 edit) ( 4)

i might've liked the priest a little "too much"

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)

( 2)

just finished all the endings lol great gameplay!! very accessible and very fun :)

( 2)

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.

( 2)

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

( 2)

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

( 1)

Im loving this so far. It's gorgeous and engaging

( 5)

bug update?

Bug update.

Fym UwU😭 

Bro actually put that as the file name

( 3)

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

OMG your logo looks like Rambley ( or maybe is the other way around idk) so cute lol.

( 3)

FRANCESCO IS SO CUTE I CAN'T!!

( 3)

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!

( 1)

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 :))

( 5)

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.

( 8)

I'm so down bad for Oleander... The hair, the outfit, the banter, the TOUCHES!!! I hate that it felt so short, but I seriously cannot wait for more.

I played the game on Steam but holy hell I love it so much.  I am struggling to pick a favorite. My first run I got a bad ending for Cirrus (I ran away, ifykyk) but I went back and got the good end because I like him that much, lol. I really like the way the stories between all 4 people meld! Cirrus seems separate for now, but I am sure that will not be the case in the full game. I truly cannot pick a favorite, I love all of them for separate reasons. 

( 11)(-1)

Francesco my baby!! why is he so cute?!

I think I am doing something wrong but i don't know what. I click download now and continue to the download page. And then download for windows and it starts downloading and gets about a hour into it then stops. It goes red and says "File wasn't available on site". Has anyone else had this?

(-15)

I think I'm missing something. because this is a demo correct? That's what the files are labeled as, and I was asked for a donation, So there has to be something I'm missing. You should only ever pay for a full game. The entire point of a demo is to allow people to play BEFORE buying the game. So they can see if they like it or not. It's definitely possible this is a full game, and the file names are old. It says nothing about being a demo on this page I dont think.  It's just the file names. If this is an unlabeled demo that's a whole other issue and problem.

( 11)

Not sure if you're new to the website but itchio games have that on all the download pages for free content no matter if it's a demo or not. It's not specific to Obscura. <3 

(1 edit) ( 8)

the donations are optional, no one is being forced to give them money. also in this case it's not really a demo or  the full game, it's just the first chapter. a lot of itchio games release in parts. it makes it easier on the dev teams while also allowing players shorter wait times for playing than just demo to full game

I need Oleander's chapter 2 so badly!!! (However morally grey the both of us are; the moment he murdered- I was so high and happy and I lost it) This game is so freaking good, I love Keir's story plot too! They're both just so fine! The only reason I'm not down bad for Cirrus is probably because we are the same type of person (I want, at one point, for our roles to switch; just imaging it makes me squeal; If you get me, you get me)

( 6)

I absolutely love that everyone in the comments are down bad for Cirrus (I am too lmao)

( 4)

Scrolling further down the comments... It seems there's alot of mixed opinions about Cirrus lol (I love his morally grey ass) (He's the reddest flag i've ever seen) (I'm colour blind so it doesn't matter)

I love this game soo much I actually enjoyed playing it! Most importantly I loved the feature that lets us talk to the mc it’s such a sweet thing and cool idea and unique. This made the mc more of a character than just there …( hope u understand what am saying..;) anyways I would totally recommend this game and would love playing the second chapter! 

Taking about the second chapter will you release new chapters/ content or is that it for the game …? Does anyone know ?

( 1)

How do i get the good ending of Cirrus? I keep getting the bored ending despite following the guides.. 😞😞

( 2)

Make sure during the scene where you catch Cirrus and the guy with the knife you pick one of the options that isn't running away! Hope this helps!

( 1)(-1)

is this game still being worked on?

( 1)

yup! if you look at their round-ups you'll see their progress!!

( 4)

i loved everything about this demo. the storyline, the characters, the ambience...!!!!! plus there is the 'aftercare' option which i think was very thoughtful. cirrus my beloved ♡

( 3)

Not only is this game extremely good, the dev team also has an entire Tumblr blog full of lore and character interactions. Christmas came early this year 😊

( 2)

RHIS HAME IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!1 I enjoyed every bit of every route?!!? All of the characters are SO likeable (except one toxic priest COUGH it's ok we love him) and have such good stories, they're unique to the brim and i cannot wait to see what chapter 2 has in store!!! Did all 20 endings in like 2 days i need help i'm obsessed with these silly guys

( 2)

this game is just too good! after recently finishing it, im wondering if anyone has an idea of when chapter 2 may come out? im just so excited to continue cirrus's route, especially after him saying he'll protect us!!!!! T.T

( 2)

I’ve only just now got to really sit down and play the game, but so far its amazing. From the art, to the characters and the storyline. (btw as a Keira… Being introduced to Keir threw me off for a second)
