Descend under a mountain to the marketplace below, where everything has a price. Meet the four men who can each give you what you need, but beware: they have their own hidden motives and uses for you. OBSCURA is a dark fantasy romance VN that asks how far you'll go to get what you need.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.57/day in the week to Sep 2 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

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.

Keir - Sarcastic Thief
"When I compliment you — if that ever happens — you’ll know."
Where there is a market, there are thieves. Keir steals to feed hungry mouths, but never forget that to survive at the fringes requires the most ruthless kind of pragmatism.

Cirrus - Humble Priest
"Penance is of the utmost importance here, and I think you'd best keep that soul of yours unblemished."
The church of the Lunar God offers sanctuary to all who come to its doors and Cirrus will give aid to those who request it. But there is no such thing as a gift in the market, and whatever aid Cirrus grants, he will want something in return.

Francesco - Spirited Adventurer
"There are so many sensations I've never felt before, and I'm making it my mission to finally live my life to the fullest!"
Sweet and sun-kissed, people such as him does not typically come to the marketplace. Can you trust this seemingly innocent man, in a place where everyone keeps dark secrets and appearances could be the most misleading of all?

Oleander - Merchant Gadfly
"You want my attention? You've got it, minx. Meet me later and you'll see what that gets you."
A market needs things to sell, and Oleander is happy to provide anything you can ask for, at a price. Hedonic and charming, he makes all his work into games, but he won't say to what end he's playing.

Vesper - Cursed Protagonist
"The people down here have beautiful taste..."
No one goes under the mountain without a good reason. Unfortunately, you have a great reason. Whatever you were aboveground, now is the time to abandon it.
Choose between 3 different masks


All information is available on our website, but in short: show as much of the demo content (Chapter 1) as you like, you may stream paid content freely as long as there is commentary, but VODs of paid content should only show ~20% of the script; this currently comes out to approximately 30-60 minutes of material for Chapter 2 total depending on reading speed.

this made me so attatched in such a short amount of time. ♥♥♥♥ you for being so good and then kicking me off a clif
Honestly, It is hard to put into words how amazing this game is. The story is so beautifully written and no route ever lacks content. No matter who you choose, all your choices matter and each character feels alive. And to also not mention that there is a safeword feature? Like, I'm pretty fine with darker themes but this is such an affectionate way to tell players that the devs truly care about us. Also, hello? Have you seen the art and listened to the music? Every little piece of the game makes Obscura feel alive. And the story? You get fully immersed into this mysterious marketplace and no matter who you go with, each love interest will smoothly add their own charm into how you will find the thing you are looking for. I obviously don't want to spoil the story, so why don't you go ahead and play it yourself :) it is definitely worth it, trust me!

Dark, Sensual and very Human. Whats not to love? (it also has bdsm, and thats a plus for me) Francesco is my favourite of them.
Beautiful art, intriguing stories and characters. Even only playing through one orute so far I am completely captivated. I am so sad theres only two chapters out right now ;-; cannot wait for more. <33
(Spoiler Warning) My obsession with Keir runs so deep it’s consumed my every thought, leaving me feeling lightheaded and electrified. It’s a love so genuine that it makes my nerves buzz, and my soul feels like it’s been stored away in 54 save files, every single one fronted by Keir's image. As a Chinese player tackling my first ever blind playthrough, to encounter such a delectable, addictive, and intense work is truly a supreme glory. For the storyline, I’m desperate to transcribe it by hand and etch it into my soul. The brilliant prose, the flawless character showcase, the thoughtful and intimate aftercare space... and those captivating character illustrations that defy description. Oh my goodness, I need to sing their praises with my spirit. I’d even bargain with the devil to be whisked away into this vivid, enchanting world teeming with mysterious undercurrents. I’ll wait for the updates each day, like the most loyal subject awaiting the latest teasers. Naturally, I hope the studio feels just the right amount of pressure—not too much, but definitely not none!! I love OBSCURA! I love all of you!
i love cirrus
Honestly one of my favorite 18+ visual novels I've bought. There's a lot of love for each character and their individual routes. I really liked Oleander's route and how sassy the mc is to him it's my favorite. The only downside is that the game is still early access and I'm yearning for more story from each love interest. It's a nice touch how you can see glimpses of each love interest in other routes and how they interact with each other!! Also another nice touch about this game is the aftercare screen and the edition of a safe word. I think it goes overlooked a lot that more mature themes can be triggering to people and having this for those that need it is really thoughtful of the developers. This is the first game I've seen that has an aftercare screen like this and it should be included more often in visual novels that explore darker topics. I'm so excited to see more of this game and hopefully a bigger fandom in the future <3
the things i would do for cirrus 🛐
剧情很有意思!刚刷了Francesco和Keir的前两章,期待后续!
I've played a few VN and this one is among my favorite so far. The MC is a complex character, far from what I experienced until now which is innocent, pure girl. Mc is a smartass, mouthy and yet I feel that it's obviously a way to cope with their deadly curse. A gloomy story and it's just the beginning. LI are very different, for various experience but they are all likeable somehow (yes, even you Cirrus, you [spoiler] jealous sadist priest [/spoiler]). The artistic direction is excellent, I really enjoyed the art as well as the OST. I don't really see any flaws for now except maybe the waiting of the other chapter to be released.
