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

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! 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
