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.

Characters
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


Hello, hello my beautiful raccoon friends! 2026 is here!! And while we werent able to accomplish everything we set out to do last year, were entering this new one full of ambition and optimism!
December is typically a pretty quiet month for us, and this is no exception. Things are absolutely getting done, but we all make an effort to take a break for the end of the year holidays. You may have also picked up on some extremely subtle clues on Tumblr that I, your favourite (and only) social media raccoon, had to do a lot of travelling and a lot of it went at least a little wrong. So there isnt a huge amount to chat about. But theres also not nothing, so lets look!\n
Music\nCajsa has been working hard on getting the music for good ol Francesco ready to go! Like all the other characters second chapters, Francesco is getting some new music to cover distinct moments in Chapter Two and they are gorgeous. And a little spooky. And sweet. God I love Cajsas music. The new arrangement shes got going of one of the tunes in particular is making me melt, I love it.
Art\nMugi has been working on the big promo image thatll show off Francesco and Oleander this month. We obviously dont want to show that while its in progress (we dont like spoiling surprises in this den!). But since we do wanna show something, how about an image concept we decided not to run with?

It wouldve been a fun picture, though maybe a little deceiving? Francesco is way too nice to be doing this!
Writing\nThis December has been a short but productive month for Tobi! After all the slings and arrows 2025 flung her way, she got a ton of writing done. There are very few exposed bones left on the story skeleton, and a whole lot of meat! Which is my (slightly gory, whoops) way of saying that she made fantastic progress this month. There are a few sections that still need work, plus a little bit of guest writing from moi (youll probably know it when you see it), and some sprites that need to be implemented, but ahhhh it feels good to have the finish line in sight!
And since we dont want to leave you with no peeks at the story

And thats December in the books! Thanks to everyone for your patience, I had a major case of jetlag and holiday slowness to recover from. Were getting back into the groove of work now, and were looking forward to getting even more done! After all, one of our favourite holidays is starting to appear over the horizon
Love,\nThe Rotten Raccoons Team
Hello, hello my beautiful raccoon friends! November has been and gone and I dont know about you, but it was a gloomy one here in Sweden. But right now the sun is shining (even if its gonna be setting by 16.00 ) and its a very special day for us!
[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/44088510/d3516c866c24a8cb0d683d225875393561bbc2ba.png\"][/img]
Thats right!! Its the birthday of everyones favourite grump! Dont mind him, hes just sharpening his knife. And in the spirit of Keir, lets get to work!
Happenings\nWhen we Rotten Raccoons are wearing our publisher hat we go by the name Kaguya Project, and were super excited to announce that weve published our first game under that label!! Knight Case Files is a huge labour of love led primarily by a solo developer thats got so much effort put into it. The arts ornately retro, theres partial voice acting for the whole cast, the story and worldbuilding have been constructed with so much love; weve been honoured to be able to help bring this game to a wider audience. The games fully translated into English and weve got a bundle with them on Steam, so if you bought Obscura on Steam you can get the bundle to get a little discount on Knight Case Files, too (it wont make you buy Obscura again, dont worry about that!).
Besides that, there is of course Keirs big day! Mugis last set of images were centred around a spicy theme, and the theme this time around is a little more refined, as you mightve already caught with Cirrus birthday image. Keir doesnt get a throne (thats not his style), but hopefully the power and refinement concepts are still shining through!
Audio\nWith the ambience pass done, Cajsa has started creating some original music for a major scene in the first part of the route (its a CG moment and everything!). I wish I could share the concept playlist shes got going on or the music clips shes been working on, but Im afraid youll just have to wait and see? Listen? What I mean is that Cajsa is still working her magic.
She also shared a clip earlier this month for a track shed made and was all just putting this here as a reminder that it would be cool to use and it scared the living shit out of me. I love Cajsa so much
Writing Progress\nTobi and I have been hard at work in November! Some of the programming needed to be done in a topsy-turvy order, but the end result of that is that about half of visuals have been programmed into Francescos second chapter! The next target is to wrap up a few challenging scenes towards the end. If Chapter Two for Fran doesnt double the word count of Chapter One, its gonna get within kissing distance of it.

Heres a screenshot that doesnt reveal too much, I think! Vesper, what are you planning to do to Francescos hair???
Ive also been casting my eye over the script and have been invited to contribute some worldbuildy elements where I can! Im also starting a list of all the info broker entries that will need to be updated or added. Its been fun!
Progress on the story skeleton on my side den has been sporadic, but progress has been made! I do love writing skeletons, its really fun not taking the story seriously, then overwriting everything while taking it Very Seriously.

I am leaving the typos in there alone for posterity. When I say my skeletons are garbo, I mean it.
And thats it for November! December is a bit of a wildcard for us as a team. On the one hand, its time to enjoy the holidays! On the other hand, were going to be busy taking part in festivities in December. We hope your December is full of good food and pleasant evenings, and well be back in the new year to check in once again.\n
Love,\nThe Rotten Raccoons Team
Hello, hello my beautiful raccoon friends! October was gone in an absolute flash, holy moly. I hope your season was spooky and your ween was hallowed as we barrel forward into the gloom of November! I do like the November gloom, but I am sick of the clock changing every winter and suddenly pulling sunset an hour earlier. But lets talk about some good stuff instead!

Happenings
When we raccoons are wearing our publishing hats we call ourselves the Kaguya Project, and this month we hit a major milestone for the first game were working with, Knight Case Files! We hope to share some fun news about that soon, because hot damn were excited about this game. We are also selling some merch under the Kaguya Project name, so if youre interested in merch, [u]heres a link to that![/u] Were hoping to update the shop a little to add something more in the near future.
Also, as you may have seen above, today (the day this is being posted) is Cirrus birthday! Mugi knocked the birthday image out of the park, as always! Maybe its just because hes so dang tall, but looking up at him feels pretty natural. Unfortunately, I dont have any other art progress to share in this round-up, but I hope Cirrus birthday makes up for it, at least a little.
Audio progress
As for game dev, we hit the first audio milestone, with Cajsa implementing a first pass of ambiances to Francescos second chapter. Cajsas audio work comes in waves, and while the final wave cant be completed until the script is fully locked down and ready to roll, the ambiances are already making the game world feel deeper and more immersive.\n
Writing progress
Tobi has been an absolute champ in October, blasting through huge parts of her story skeleton and getting tons of story done this month.

So, pretty bad, but its doing the job its meant to do!
And thats all from us for this month! November looks like an unglamorous month for us, but Ill take productive and unglamorous over exciting and chaotic this time around! Well be back at the start of December for more news about what were up to!
Love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team
Hello, hello my beautiful raccoon friends! October is on us already, somehow, and we are enjoying the cooler days and opportunities to get warm and cosy. Sorry the delay on this post, for some reason the Scheduling Gods decided that everything important was going to happen in the first week of October and things were busy for all of us. Were gonna start todays round-up a little different from our usual order, since theres some important news we should share first!\n
Tobis back!
You may remember in last months round-up that Tobi needed to take a break from Obscura for a little while in order to handle some personal business that required her time and attention. Well, good news: shes back in the saddle and eager to get Francescos second chapter wrapped and out the door!
Were so grateful to everyone who left supportive messages and reminded us that our health comes first when we posted about Tobis break. While wed always love for development to be going faster, its because of your support and patience that weve been able to keep working on Obscura without it becoming a major source of stress for us. Thank you so much!
Sales and merch
Okay, back to the normal order of things. We are in the final day of the Autumn Sale, which at time of posting is in the final stretch. So if youre looking to get Obscura, you have until Monday evening (Europe time!) to get it on 20% discount.
If youre looking to get stickers, the Chapter Two announcement image as a poster, or a t-shirt to show your devotion to Cirrus, [u]we are officially open for business [/u]! Cajsa is also officially selling the Obscura OST, [u]check it out here [/u]!
Art progress
Last month Mugi made huge progress on the Francesco CGs, and this month she turned her focus to the backgrounds and NPC silhouettes the game will need. She is batting a thousand, as usual, and this time I actually have something I can share!

Where will this mysterious door lead? Only we can say, and were not telling yet
Whats coming up
September was a busy month for all of us for our own reasons, but with Tobi back on writing duties this month and a lot of the September responsibilities falling to the wayside, were hoping for a more fun and productive month. If nothing else, we want to try to do something small and fun for Spooky Season, so hopefully well have something fun to share on our social media accounts soon!\n
Hallowed be thy ween,

Hello, hello, my beautiful raccoon friends! There is a lot going on right now, so lets chat about how August went (it was certainly a month!).
More romance VN parties!
Studio lan is kindly hosting an event open to all romance-focused visual novels at the end of September, and were delighted to say well be participating! As always, we whole-heartedly recommend folks check out these events, because the world of romance VNs is vast and beautiful
Weve got merch
If youre looking to get stickers, the Chapter Two announcement image as a poster, or a t-shirt to show your devotion to Cirrus, [u]we are officially open for business[/u] ! Cajsa is also officially selling the soundtrack for Obscura, [u]please give it a look here[/u] .\n

I cant share any images this time without spoiling the surprise (and we all know youre not supposed to spoil the surprise in Obscura ;3), but Mugi has begun work on the CGs for Francescos route, and they are gorgeous. She is also hard at work putting together the new backgrounds Francesco is gonna need, since he refuses to sit still and not explore everything in the marketplace.
Writing progress
Heres where the news becomes mixed, unfortunately. On my side of the raccoon den, August was very, very busy with non-Obscura work. I had a lot of fun with that work, but it was sad to be away from my boys for so long. Things have simmered down a lot now, thank goodness, though I know Ill be in another Work Vortex come spring.
On the bright side, I have finished the very first step of pre-production for Chapter Three: the powerpoints. To explain as briefly as possible: when drafting the overarching story beats, I write the story in bullet point format, with each slide being a scene (as in a chunk of text that all shares the same goal, tone, or setting). Heres what a slide from Keirs second chapter looks like (with a mild spoiler warning for anyone who hasnt played it).
[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/44088510/7469f1292852babad0f83eb379368219325e1132.png\"][/img]If I had to guess, Chapter One would have had ~5 slides to sum things up. Both of my Chapter Twos used 10 slides. Both Chapter Threes have 15 slides, so theres definitely a lot of shenanigans planned!
On Tobis side of the raccoon den, shes been through a few upheavals that means she needs to put down the pen for a while. Shes okay, but when working on Obscura becomes a point of stress instead of something we enjoy doing, that means its time to take a break. Were so grateful to everyone who follows us for being so supportive, even reminding us to make sure were not working too hard. Its hard to express through the medium of text, but the gratitude we feel for you all is absolutely overwhelming.\n
Everyone else is continuing their work on Francescos second chapter while Tobi rests, and were 100% behind her taking that break until she feels ready to start writing again.\n
And thats what happened to us in August. Im looking forward to an extremely normal and boring September for all of us (cross your fingers!!), and also to enjoy all the eyecandy thats bound to come our way in the Fall in Love Fest Arent romance VNs the best?
Lots of love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team
Hello, hello, my beautiful raccoon friends! Ive said it for three July round-ups before \\[note: but this is the first time on Steam!], and Ill say it a fourth time: July is typically the month when Swedes take their summer vacations! But despite us getting chances for rest and relaxation, weve also gotten a lot done this month. So lets go over whats been happening.
Thank you for 200k downloads!
The wildest thing on our list of happenings was definitely doing the math and realising that between Obscura and its demo, if you add up the downloads on Steam and [u]Itch.io [/u] we have hit over 200k downloads! In our first July round-up we were absolutely blown away by getting 7000 downloads, so as you might imagine were pretty tickled by this new milestone. Thank you, everyone who has supported us this far. We literally could not have reached 200k downloads without you.
Oleander Chapter Two
You may have possibly heard about this already, but Oleanders second chapter came out on the 7th of July! We have been thrilled by the positive feedback weve gotten from you about how his story has progressed, and Violet is rubbing her little paws together with evil glee over everyones reactions to the chapters end. Getting this chapter out has been so satisfying, and were so happy to hear you all enjoying it, too!
Theres merch now!
Appropriately for the update for our own merchant gadfly, weve also opened up [u]our own little merch shop for business [/u]! (Dont worry about the Kaguya Project name, thats us when were wearing our publisher hat.) Weve kept the number of items there small for now, but we expect to keep adding items and designs as time goes on, hopefully with some input from the folks on our Discord! Right now you can get stickers of the love interests, the gorgeous Chapter Two announcement art featuring Keir and Cirrus on a poster, or a t-shirt or tote bag with a new piece of Cirrus art from Mugi.
OST Updates
Cajsa has gone ahead and updated the Obscura soundtrack to include the music thats been added to Chapter Two so far! As always, her work has been amazing. Ive been blasting the tunes for the entirety of this round-up!\n
She has a [u]full array of links here [/u] to the first chapter, but if youre looking to stream the new tunes on Spotify you can find them [u]here [/u], and the album is also available to purchase on [u]Bandcamp [/u] and [u]https://store.steampowered.com/app/3854750/OBSCURA_Soundtrack/\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Steam [/u]! Weve also set up a Steam bundle for the game and album together, in case anyone could use it.\n
Payment processor hullabaloo
So this was not my favourite thing to happen during my vacation >:| Weve put out a full statement a week ago about whats been happening, you can find it on our Discord or Tumblr. The short version is this: payment processors have pressured Steam and Itchio to remove games containing explicit content or else lose the ability to buy and sell games. There has been an immediate and very loud backlash to this, and we encourage folks who disagree with the financial censorship at play to make their voices heard.
Ultimately, weve been very lucky, given the dark and mature content at play in Obscura. So far weve avoided having our game delisted, shadowbanned, or removed in any capacity, and while were keeping our eye on the situation it looks like were in the clear for now. Obviously well update you if that changes. Not exactly the note we wanted to exit July on, but were hoping this ends the way it should: with payment processors backing off, and mature games remaining on both platforms.
\nArt Progress
In much more cheerful news! Now that Oleanders chapter is in the books, we have turned our focus over to getting Francescos second chapter ready! For Mugi, that means getting visual assets locked and loaded, and let me just say that shes really been putting the work in. Heres a little look at a new asset shes just added to the game which we are very excited to play with!
[img src=\"https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc5wS3IH_KnJvsg8p3i7va_RKG8_2owud71AqSFRYr_tMQD0tkHs1700YadnLg55FGkh3bqaYFe7FUTFYjIXgMraBWEIFxVEF18lMQbvcKL_EmHcpX3bgzzw8i68f-vQdPTM0em2g?key=O8W465JSf6LnJcr7OwIvJA\"][/img]
Writing
While I certainly didnt plan for it to work out this way, turns out that pretty soon after Oleanders second chapter went out I went on vacation! So there is nothing meaningful to report from me.\n
Thats alright, though, because Tobi has been plugging away on Francescos second chapter and absolutely killing it. Every time she pushes new text Im always excited to check it out. And since its Francescos time to shine, heres a snippet of the script that may give a clue to part of the Chapter Two adventures.
[img src=\"https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeE--E-5rMtXyklzC0usN_Xjj7yj4BzB0AmLI8SZJqzLrLQwltIcPhTmlorvAOSbvWm8_BC4SLp8NhUssEQTzcveJItWVCmfDb0gfw-4Df3Cgj_XdhIgySwPa4PtSZEO8sVxpBYmA?key=O8W465JSf6LnJcr7OwIvJA\"][/img]\n
And thats the end of the news from the raccoon den for this month! Its been a very active July on a bunch of different axes, and were already moving forward into more new and exciting things! Well try and keep this momentum going forward and get Francescos second chapter closer and closer to release!
Love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team
Thanks to the amazing work of Cajsa Larsson, the composer for OBSCURA, the game\'s soundtrack is now available to purchase here on Steam! It currently has 30 minutes of original music, arranged for the album format. Cajsa\'s work on OBSCURA has been invaluable for creating the world of the marketplace, both with immersive ambiances and with mood-setting music. If you\'ve enjoyed her music in the game, we encourage you to show her some love!
Love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team

Are you ready to see what Oleanders story has to offer?
Alongside 35k of new narrative content, this update has an NPC to talk to who has 10k of background information about the world and characters to shareif you know how to ask for itand another art update thats given us a new sprite system for Oleander (with a new look I think some of you will be very happy about) and a bunch of new backgrounds to flesh out the world. There are also some typos erased and bugs fixed. With any luck, this is the end of our achievement bug woes!
Were so excited and grateful to all of you for being with us as we tell the story of Vespers journey. We hope this addition to the story takes you on a wild roller coaster ride.
Oh, and since were celebrating Oleander, the merchant gadfly, lets share some more fun news. [u]Our merch shop is officially open for business [/u]! Were starting with a small collection of things on offer, but well be expanding the merch options as time goes on (were not about to let Cirrus be the only love interest on a t-shirt!). We may even source opinions on our Discord, from time to time
With love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team
Goddamn its been an exciting month! We have been knuckling down on getting Oleanders second chapter ready for release all month, and it has been extremely fulfilling. Its July and were so excited!! So, lets talk about whats happening.
If youve already purchased Chapter 2: Oleanders second chapter will be available to you for free. On Steam the game should update automatically, while on Itchio you can download the fresh build once its ready. Youll be looking for version 2.1.0.
If you havent already purchased Chapter 2: We are keeping the games price the same for this release. You can buy the game now and get Oleanders second chapter when it comes out, or wait for the update to buy the game.
So, what have we been doing? A lot. Mugi revised Oleanders sprites to give him more flexibility and variety in his posing, and shes gifted us with many beautiful backgrounds. Some of them are even going to find their way into the demo, which will also be getting an update to ensure visual compatibility and continuity moving forward. Cajsas musical ventures have also been incredible to hear. Every time she updates the game I get giddy to hear what shes done.
Appropriately for an update featuring a merchant, weve also finally got our merch store ready to go. Itll be open for business on July 5th, so keep an eye on our socials for that update
And thats the update from June! Its a little short here, but hopefully youll forgive us when Oleanders chapter adds 35k words of story content and an additional 10k words of background/lore information via an NPC to the game in a week. Well see you soon.
Love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team
Hello! Its Violet, the social media/communications Rotten Raccoon. We recently got a reminder that while weve been posting monthly check-ins to demonstrate that were still alive and getting work done (as well as show little peeks at the work), we havent been sharing these posts with folks who only follow us on Steam! Thats been an oversight on my part, and I apologise. From now on, Steam users can enjoy the same updates as everyone else!
Hello, hello, my beautiful raccoon friends! Its been a lively May here in the raccoon den, and now were enjoying June (in my humble opinion, the best month!). I think the best word I can use for May is productive, as we got a bunch of things on our checklist done! So lets discuss whats happened for us this month, and this time we have headers.
Sales and events
May is a fairly low-key time for us, but we did get to enjoy one sale event! The Otome Games Celebration, hosted by the wonderful Crystal Game Works, was a lovely little sale showing off some of the best in indie otome and getting to smooch fictional men. While the big co-ordinated sale event is over, the event page is still up if youd like to see a big selection of romance VNs about wooing fictional men. I highly recommend it!
We also wanna highlight an event were not taking part in, but really love: the Women-Led Games summer showcase , which will be happening on the 7th (or early on the 8th in certain time zones). Were a team of women ourselves, and we love seeing the work of other women in the industry get highlighted! Theyve also been very welcoming of us and included Obscura in their sale events in the past, which were very grateful for!
Audio
It hurts me that I cant beam audio directly into your brain, because Cajsa is killing it. There are a couple of scenes that spend an extended amount of time in one area, and shes been making sure the music that plays for these scenes has variations to keep up the aural interest. This is one of the bits of feedback I offered this month, to get an idea of where shes going with her work.

Art
Mugi has been working hard on updating Oleanders sprites for his second chapter, giving him a general sprucing up and also giving me some very exciting new options to play with. There is a lot to be excited about, but one thing I really wanna highlight is that the new sprite system enables me to do stuff like these poses


which keen-eyed observers may notice were not possible in his original sprite set! It goes without saying that I am very excited to make good, good use of the new opportunities this presents.
Writing
Writing has progressed really nicely this month! Tobi needed to revise some of her planned material, but that ended up producing some really exciting new ideas that Im hyped to watch come into play. She also wrote a nice chunk of a big emotional scene were really excited for you all to see. Going through it now, my reaction is just
On Oleanders side, Cajsa caught a few visual bugs while programming the music, so Ive been bugfixing. There are some old-ass bugs in the game code that I am just so happy to finally be getting rid of. Im also starting on getting the new sprite system for Oleander working while being minimally disruptive to the stuff thats already in the game. Its going to be super interesting work, and since Im going to need to dive through the whole script again, I think Ill keep a typo tally and see how many little errors snuck through my spellcheck. And speaking of bugfixing
We want you!
Before major releases weve invited players to help us beta-test the game to ensure its bug-free, as well as keeping typos to a minimum and ensuring our accessibility tools are working as intended. While we arent quite ready to invite players into the testing phase yet, we wanted to offer you a heads up that all beta-testing will be done through our Discord. Its open to all 18+ players (and if youre playing Obscura youre definitely at least 18), and while well share announcements on our social media pages when we begin the beta-test process, the best way to stay informed about the beta-test is to be on our Discord .
And thats all we have for you this month! June is promising to be a month where a lot happens, both in general and here in the raccoon den, and were excited to experience it all! Youll hear from us again soon, so talk to you all later!
Love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team
- Fixed bug where the black mask variant of the Vesper CG doesn't unlock
- Fixed bug where achievements failed to unlock
- Tidied some typos
Hello, beautiful raccoon friends!
We're excited to announce we've been selected to take part in the amazing Storyteller's Festival, an amazing Steam event that celebrates the best of video game narratives. Obviously, we're honoured and excited to be taking part for the second year in a row. There are so many incredible stories to experience, so please check out the event!
But we're not going to celebrate without giving you a little something as well. For the Storyteller's Festival, we recorded about 45 minutes of behind-the-scenes talk while playing through the first sections of Keir's and Cirrus' second chapters. This time, co-writers Tobi and Violet and audio master Cajsa had a chat, and we had a lovely, giggly time of it!
And if you missed it, don't forget to check out the second date with Vesper in the Extra Story. Until next time, happy gaming!
Love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team
Happy Valentines Day, my beloved raccoon friends! I am here in my fanciest party dress to share the love, and theres a lot of love to share today! Theres three things on our agenda today that we think youll be pretty happy about: a game update, an update to our studio that were excited to share, and finally news about merch.
Lets talk about in-game content first: today were releasing Obscura 2.0.2! This is the small update we promised at the start of the year. This update fixes a couple of small errors in the Chapter Two content where characters would talk about things that the player could choose to skip, whoops! But even better, this update contains an extension to the Extra Story, giving you a second date with Vesper.
The Extra Story is unlocked in the Extras menu by reaching a good or neutral end to all four love interests first chapter, and the first part can be unlocked and played in the demo! If you unlocked it in the demo, it should still be unlocked in the paid version of the game (and if its not, thats a bug! Please report it!). To see the new date, youll need to reach the end of either Keir or Cirrus second chapter. Thats Ending 25 or Ending 31, for those keeping score at home.
Mugi made proper standing sprites for Vesper, as well as a CG to unlock, to really max out their charisma levels! We hope you enjoy your second date with the MC of our romance game, its been a ton of fun to work on.
Now, lets talk about Rotten Raccoons! Without getting too deep into the nitty-gritty, Rotten Raccoons itself wont be making any major changes. Were happy with the way were structured at the moment, and were going to keep making Obscura alongside our regular work. But we are building out our business a little more, and for that we have to introduce the Kaguya Project!
The simple explanation is that our producer, Yamiochi, works in helping Japanese games get a foothold in the Anglophone game industry, and she wants to fulfil her dream of being an indie visual novel publisher using this experience. So Yamiochi, Mugi, and myself (Violet) are starting an indie visual novel publisher! Weve already started work with a game being made by a team of two(!), and were excited to see what the future holds for this project. Personally, this is extremely exciting stuff!
But if all youre worried about is Obscura, which is fair enough, the only thing you really need to know is that Kaguya Project is made of Rotten Raccoons team members, and you can rest easy when you see Obscura merch being sold through the Kaguya Project name. Its all us, we havent made a deal with an outside party! Were just consolidating things under the Kaguya Project umbrella to keep things simpler on our end.

And oh, whats that about merch? Thats right, were finally getting ourselves together to make a little merch line-up! Were still waiting to see a few products to approve them before they go on sale (Mugi is not going to let sub-par prints go out!), so were not launching the shop just yet, but we felt like the time was right to confirm that its happening!
Were grateful for your patience while you wait a little longer for us to be open for business. Were starting fairly small in terms of the number of things well be selling, but were extremely excited about what the future holds! And since we didnt want to leave you on just that, Mugi has made a little preview of an edit shes done for one of our future offerings. Remember the gorgeous art she did for the Chapter 2 announcement? Well!
Thats all from us for now, but well be back soon with more news to share. Thank you so much for your love and support!
Love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team
While we don't really advertise OBSCURA as a horror title as such, we do enjoy hearing how folks are getting the heebie-jeebies from certain moments in the game (coughCirruscough). So what could be better than taking part in an event devoted to Spooky Season?
OBSCURA will be discounted for the entire fest, so if you've been looking for a chance to try Keir and Cirrus' second chapters, this could be your moment!
In the meantime, hallowed be thy ween
- Smashed some bugs; if you were having trouble getting certain achievements before, they may be working now.
- Fixed some typos. There's always one that slips through the cracks...
It's a big day for us here in the raccoon den! We're very excited to share Keir and Cirrus' second chapters and hope very much that you'll enjoy them! The game is obviously available here, and on Steam! We're now getting properly into production for Oleander and Francesco's second chapters and we are having a ball with them, cannot wait to show you what we've been working on.
For anyone looking to do a review or create content for the game, you are still welcome to reach out to us on Twitter. We have a request for anyone planning on doing streaming or VOD content to follow our video content rules.
Thank you so much your patience, we're so glad you've come on this adventure with us. Please enjoy Keir and Cirrus' continuation, and look forward to Oleander and Francesco!
Three of the Rotten Raccoons Tobi, Mugi, and Violet go through OBSCURA and discuss the behind-the-scenes process of development. We talk mostly about art and story, mostly regarding Chapter One content, but with some talk about what we've been up to for Chapter Two.
This is a prerecorded video, but if you have any questions or comments regarding something we talk about you're welcome to bring them to our Discord ! It's an 18+ space due to the content of our game, obviously.
And apologies for the background noise; one of the microphones was not muting like it should have been

Happy Valentines Day from the raccoon den!
Two gentlemen have been waiting in the wings all this time, and now they have the opportunity to take centre stage. Steam, meet Francesco and Oleander! Francesco is a ray of sunshine in the underground marketplace, so sweet and sincere it almost seems unbelievable. Or, maybe you dont believe it after all? The great merchant Oleander, on the other hand, is open about the kind of man he is: a hedonist, a flirt, and a gadfly, and in need of a new assistant. Hes capable of opening a lot of doors, but he might not tell you where he ultimately wants to go.
Both of them can now be met in the Chapter One demo, bringing the total word count of the demo to about 70k words. The update also features tweaked sprite transitions, general bug fixes and typo cleanup, and one small bonus feature thats been in high demand on our Tumblr account (if you know, you know!).
This update is fairly substantial, so there is a risk of bugs or visual glitches occurring if you load old saves. If you load an old save and are experiencing problems, we recommend starting a new save.
Whether its your first or fifth or fiftieth trip to the marketplace, we hope you get to turn down the lights, put on some headphones, and enjoy your stay. Well be hard at work getting Chapter 2 ready for you all. If you want to follow our progress, you can join our Discord (18+) , follow us on Twitter/X , or join us having a silly good time on Tumblr .
See you under the mountain soon,
Rotten Raccoons
Surprise!
As a treat for you all and to celebrate Steam Scream: The Revenge the first chapter for Keir and Cirrus stories are now available here on Steam! We hope you take the chance to put on some headphones, turn the lights off, and enjoy the dark adventure thats in store with them.
Meanwhile, theres two more love interests waiting in the wings. You may have seen them around elsewhere, but theyll be making their Steam debut another day (a day were very much looking forward to!). To keep up with that news, youre welcome to join our Discord (18+ only), or follow us on Twitter/X or Tumblr .
See you under the mountain soon,
