how do you delete saves? Every time I go to save it freezes the game... I figured it was cause I have too many saves so I'm trying to delete some but idk how. is there a way to delete saves?
Hey, I have a question. I downloaded itch on my pc to download Oathbreaker and I wanna get the $14 subscription. If I get it will I have to play it on the website for it to work or will it go through to my account on itch?
I happened to find your Oathbreaker and S2 just by chance on your website and WOW I'm hooked! The storyline is fantastic, the art is beautiful and the music has been stuck in my head since I finished going through all the different storylines.
Can't wait to play through the rest of S2 :)
I just had a quick question: what are the tracks that you used for the S1 soundtrack? I would really love to be able to listen to those outside of the game too!
Kudos to all of you who made this game happen - it's really exceptional and I'm so happy to have found it!
Me again, with a kind of weird question. When I start Season 2, it gives me questions about my actions in Season 1, and there is a question about whether I spent the night with Alwenn or Virion BEFORE going to Sindan. But I don't think I've ever seen that option in Season 1? Am I missing something? Please fill me in, I'm very curious.
(Also, I played Raelan's and Argandea's routes and they are both amazing. And I love how Argandea and Virion are totally into each other.)
I haven't played your game yet. I need something simple to take my mind off and your VN looks interesting but I was afraid it wouldn't be very straightforward. Hence my question about a guide or walkthrough.
I love this game! At first, I picked Raelan and I still do. But, Virion is so dorky in season 2! I just love him and I love that part in season when he picks up your kid, that face is so cute!!!
My pop up blocker is off and i'm still being redirected to the site, so I can't figure out what's going on. I'm assuming it's still something with my computer. :( I'm sorry for all of the complications!
I found this on your website by accident and fell in love with it. S2 is amazing so far, and Ascention and the part of Ascention remake that is released are also amazing.
I hate that I had to find your games AFTER the corona virus, when both my husband and I are unemployed and struggling even to pay rent. I want to say that as soon as things pick up for my family again, I FULLY intend to support you on Patreon. I too have dreams of someday telling my own stories, and your work has inspired me to develop a plan of action for this. But I am getting off on a tangent. I hope those NSFW scenes aren't going anywhere anytime soon! But even if they do, I look forward to supporting such amazing talent!
Hello!! I loved your game when I played it a few months ago and now that it's completed I was planning to finish it. However, my Mac has Catalina (v__v the bane of our existence) and I tried using the chmod +x trick to get the app to work but the game logo is just sat on my taskbar with no window for the game. Any way to fix this?
Also tried to play the browser version after downloading it through the itch app but it's stuck at the loading screen :(
I was completely blown away by this game, it surpassed all my expectations. The story is amazing and so well-staged, I remember staring at my screen, mouth agape, more than once. The characters? they have depth and when all thrown together they are just so good - I will die for every single of them. The dialogue is so funny but it also made me wanna jump out a window since I could not handle all the emotions thrown at me (you know what part I'm talking about!).
Hi, just wanted to say how much I love your games))) I accidentally stumbled upon Cardinal Cross on Steam, it was amazing and I looked up what else did you create, and well, you are my favorite author now💗 I even can not pick my favorite game from you, because all of them are perfect ;) But well, I especially love rpg gameplay of Ascension, I will probably explore all pixels of the map in the complete game. So thank you very much, you are amazing!)
I second that post! I say a love story is as good as its context, and your stories are book quality! I devoured Cardinal Cross, accidently learned that you have more games, devoured them in a weekend and impatiently awaiting more...
I love how the characters in these games are all equally interesting! I couldn't choose the LI till the last moment. In the end, I chose Raelan. Because... Alistair, you know. Adorkable. And very grown up at the end, brought tears to my eyes))
💖💖💖 Thank you sooo much for playing, Salfetkina! I'm taking a short break due to a major overseas move for two-ish months, but I'm hoping to start working on new chapters as soon as I can! 😍😍😍
I just finished this and im currently downloading the second season, i wanted to tell you that i really enjoyed it!!! it's a super well written story with great characters and it seems there was a lot of thought behind it, i hope my computer wont die and ill have the chance of playing more of it.
(sorry if there is any misspelling in this, im argentinian and english its not my first language)
WOWIE. This is so great! I love the MC and Alwenn. Its super duper sad that my mac can't open oathbreaker s2, but thats life and I will never forget this story. So thanks my dude for having this wonderful thing created.
I finally managed to play the whole game - it's amazing! I barely managed to focus on anything else until I knew how it ended... and the romance just really broke my heart... ;-; It kind of reminded me of "Ascension" - although you have made lots and lots of progress since " Ascension"! The art is beautiful and the story is very well written, and it gets even better in Oathbreaker 2! *-* By the way, I loved that I got to see Captain Nina again. :D
I also really loved the music, though! Could you tell me the name of the song playing during Chapter 1 when Virion shows the MC a "different way of casting"? (trying to avoid spoilers here.)
Thank you for the great game and for making it free to play!! <3 :)
Oh my this was exquisite! Virion was the absolute best! His ending was so heartfelt I could hear his heart breaking and in the sequel his reunion was so good I cried!
This was one of the best VNs I´ve ever played. Witty, clever, mature, profound but not melodramatic or judgemental... And those awesome characters and lovely romances... (my favorite colour was always blue :)). I simply loved it. I guess I´ll have to go and see that patreon before season 2 ;).
Hi Lucig! I hope you enjoy the patreon exclusive content! Feel free to join our discord community. There are special patreon roles and channels for patrons too. 💖
Out of curiosity, does anyone know how to spend the night with Alwenn or Virion before Sindan? I noticed that S2 asks about it and I didn't know it was an option, so if anyone has any insight on this I'm interested to hear!
yes i had a problem with this too! i replayed season 1 for that reason and still couldn't figure it out. but i selected that i did spend the night with her tho lol i'm not gonna miss that out
Yeah I ended up saying that I didn't spend the night with him in the spirit of honesty lol, I figured since I can't seem to puzzle it out so I was like "oh well" and just went without. But I still am so curious to know about it because I wanna know what happens XD
It's a nsfw scene in the patreon exclusive version. I added it as a choice since it affects whether or not the child is his even if you are not on Virion's route. 🙂
I wanted to replay this now that season 2 is out, but it keeps crashing when I get midway through chapter 5 at the same spot. I was playing in browser, so I tried to play it downloaded but when I open up the game it's just a black screen.
Hi! I hope you are well. I have an issue with the game, I wonder if you could help me out?
So, I was playing on the browser version, and I was at the part where Argandea and Virion were speaking with each other about how Warlocks aren't really thought well of. Then it froze.
So I'm like, that's fine, I'll just download it through the itch app and progress the game through there...
Unfortunately, it froze on the exact spot ):
Is there something I can do to fix this? Sorry to bother you!
You can try cleaning your saves (making sure you wiped the offline website data completely clean) and start over or try another browser for the browser version. Make sure you keep your save files to a maximum of 3-4 slots. More than that freezes the game.
For the download version, if you set your text to instant, it will freeze due to live2d sprites. Try pressing ctrl for skipping instead of fast mouse clicks. 🙂 let me know if any of those work for you!
I tried all you said I should do, but I still got stuck at the same place... Don't worry though! I guess the choices I made in-game broke the programming maybe? Instead, I just started fresh from a new chapter and everything was smooth sailing from there.
Thank you so much for your fast response, I know season 2 will be just as good!
Hi, I downloaded the game to my Mac and when I start the game all I get is a black screen. Do you have any advice for me? I tried playing in the browser and it continues to freeze.
P.S. I'm really enjoying the game and I'm still in the prologue! :o
this game was fantastic! i remember back when the first ascension game came out and it was the first visual novel i ever loved. this one clearly shows all of your talents! the writing was absolutely phenomenal. i loved the characters, i loved the plot progression, it all was so good! the art was absolutely stunning. thank you so much for making this <3
I liked this game but I have a question for the developer: Is there any chance there will be a (purchaseable, it does not have to be for free, it does not even have to be cheap) NSFW version of this game in form of downloadable Windows executable and not just remote, web-browser-based, subscription only version?
There is already a downloadable windows exe which doesn't require an active Patreon subscription to play on Patreon. You can simply make a one time donation and download your file along with many other patreon benefits and cancel your subscription the next month if you really want to.
The reason why I don't sell the nsfw version standalone is;
1- Because Patrons actually fund these games. Without my patrons, I wouldn't be able to make them at all, so while I do understand people wanting to buy the nsfw version on somewhere like itch.io, right now it's part of my thanks to people who actually make these games come true. They are also generous enough to let me distribute the full sfw versions of these games for free.
2- The nsfw scenes are barely %5 of the entire game. I don't like the dlc system, and I don't think it's fair to ask money for such a small part of an otherwise completely free game. The reason why they are a patreon benefit is that it comes with many more extra benefits as a pretty big package. Like a basket of gifts instead of one.
3- Even if I wanted to, I could not sell anything on itch.io, because the payment platforms they insist on using are not allowed in countless countries like mine. You can blame itch.io's lack of an international payment system for this. Neither Steam nor Patreon has this problem, so this is something I feel they need to work on.
I hope this helps explain things. 💖 Thank you for playing and also your interest in my game.
Ah, ok thanks. So there is a downloadable NSFW version for patrons now? In that case I'll (re)subscribe, at least for a month. ;-) I actually like your work and would happily support you by buying your stuff but I truly hate subscriptions and I also dislike playing things in web-browsers or on remote places. Not only because it is limited but also because they tend to go "poof" over time and I like to "archive" good things.
Yes. There is also a downloadable file for the sfw version too. It's on itch.io, just below the description / info. Most benefits you can access on my patreon are downloadable. Maybe the browser version I uploaded confused you?
As I mentioned before, the earnings I receive monthly from Patreon go directly into the production of the games (The artists, musicians etc). Since these are episodic games, a subscription system works very well with this format. I can continue to release new episodes thanks to all the subscriptions, and people can keep playing them. You, of course, are free to not like it personally, but this is what I feel most comfortable doing as a developer who wants to keep making free to play games for everybody to have some sort of access despite their financial situation.🙂
Going "poof" over time is unfortunately a serious problem of today's digital content. Platforms like Steam are included in this digital "renting" system. So, not every downloadable content is archiveable either. This is especially serious in the mobile app industry. Which is exactly why I like Patreon, because it gives developers more power over their own content. How you distribute, how you contact with the people who support you is completely up to you. Feels like I'm advertising Patreon, but as a creator, I'm really really happy with their platform and I think most people misunderstand how it actually works. Basically, the people who can afford it help those who can't access the content that they feel are worth it. ⭐ Feel free to join whenever you like. I do hope you will enjoy it, if you do! 🙂
Yes, I did join your patrons again and I downloaded it, thank you. It's not that I cannot subscribe of course I just dislike to do so. And my main concern was that I thought there will be no executable to download just a web-browser version like it was in the past (I was already your patron due to this game for one month about a year ago when I played it. ;-))
Ah, no wonder you thought they were browser based, then. It's been a while since I converted. Let me know if you have any more questions, and have fun! 🙂
I'm just interested in your game, but I'll never support censorship, that's why I won't play this free version and that's one of the reasons I won't ever give any money to patreon (the other being that I believe that installements are an encouragement to work slowly, I prefer to give more but in one time, like for early access games)
I'm willing to reward you for your work, but if it's reserved to patreon, there is no problems with me, it's your loss. It is your game, you have the right to distribute it how you want, and I have the right to not like it, that's all.
You and I have very different definitions of censorship. This game is not a porn game where I'm censoring what is initially it's purpose. It's a plot heavy story game. The free version is the full version, and the Patreon version is simply a gift among many other gifts to the people who support this game on a monthly basis, which is what I need to fund a new chapter each month. I work with a large team, and this is all of our main job.
I am not seeking any rewards for my work, as I mentioned before the full version is free. The game is simply being funded by regular support of the people who enjoy the work and want it to continue, and the rewards including the optional nsfw scenes are MY gifts to these people as my thanks.
This is the way I get to release an actual interactive story game for free for the people who are into story games not porn games, and I also get to make my patrons (the people who are actually interested in my games) happy.
What you believe that should and should not happen is irrelevant, as you are clearly not my audience. Your rightous quest for fighting against censorship on an indie game distribution website, against indie game developers who do the very best they can to fund the games on their own in an industry full of cold-hard economic decisions that are both shitty for developers and players alike is funny to me, but go off, I guess. Again, rating an indie full game with a 0 star because you couldn't get your fix of digital dicks and tits is ridiculous.
You have a right to not like the way I distribute my game in a way that makes MY audience happy, and I have a right to find your pettiness funny.
There are thousands of porn games on this website, good ones too. Please move on. You are not entitled to everything.
Thankfully, i'm not on Catalina OS but i still couldn't download and the browser version won't load, it just gives me a blank black screen even if my browser is chrome. But i'll try to download the file through the itch.io app :) Thanks for taking the time to answer!
Calywen out here salty cause I took his mans, Oop-
Also I love this game can’t stop playing it! Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for season 2! <3

if you're logged in on your accout then it should save your subscription to your account
For some reason, teh download button isn't working, even with adblocker disabled.
yeah same here
omg I remember playing these on Rinmaru games!!! I've been looking for them for a long time!
I miss playing it on Rinmaru Games 😭
you can try Firefox. Chrome has issues.
Hello!
I happened to find your Oathbreaker and S2 just by chance on your website and WOW I'm hooked! The storyline is fantastic, the art is beautiful and the music has been stuck in my head since I finished going through all the different storylines.
Can't wait to play through the rest of S2 :)
I just had a quick question: what are the tracks that you used for the S1 soundtrack? I would really love to be able to listen to those outside of the game too!

(Also, I played Raelan's and Argandea's routes and they are both amazing. And I love how Argandea and Virion are totally into each other.)
That's a patreon exclusive scene, but I added it to the sfw version too since it changes a major thing about Mini. :P
Wow! This was amazing! Virion is the hottest LI and I love him so much. I'm gonna replay for the others, then go check out season 2...
i'm trying to download the Windows version yet it isnt no matter how many times i've tried
Download with firefox instead of Chrome.
I can't play the mini games :c
:c
Hello! Is there an official or unofficial guide or walkthrough for this game, please?
Hello, ManekiNeko.
This is a pretty straightforward VN type otome game that needs no guide or walkthrough. What did you need help with? :)
Thank you for replying to me! <3
I haven't played your game yet. I need something simple to take my mind off and your VN looks interesting but I was afraid it wouldn't be very straightforward. Hence my question about a guide or walkthrough.
But your answer reassures me! :D
Well, I hope you enjoy it, then! 😉
I love this game! At first, I picked Raelan and I still do. But, Virion is so dorky in season 2! I just love him and I love that part in season when he picks up your kid, that face is so cute!!!
I can't seem to download it, I click on the link and it brings me to another site like someone else stated in the comments :(
is it just something with my computer/pop up blocker maybe?
Yes. Allow pop-ups for itch io and try again.
My pop up blocker is off and i'm still being redirected to the site, so I can't figure out what's going on. I'm assuming it's still something with my computer. :( I'm sorry for all of the complications!
I found this on your website by accident and fell in love with it. S2 is amazing so far, and Ascention and the part of Ascention remake that is released are also amazing.
I absolutely love Alwenn! She's so beautiful <3
when I click on download it directs me to imp queen.com ?
Having the same problem here. I cannot even open the game on browser that it redirects me to a site.
temporary hosting issue. Should be fixed now. :)
I hate that I had to find your games AFTER the corona virus, when both my husband and I are unemployed and struggling even to pay rent. I want to say that as soon as things pick up for my family again, I FULLY intend to support you on Patreon. I too have dreams of someday telling my own stories, and your work has inspired me to develop a plan of action for this. But I am getting off on a tangent. I hope those NSFW scenes aren't going anywhere anytime soon! But even if they do, I look forward to supporting such amazing talent!
Did anybody have a problem with not seing the characters while playing? I've redownloaded the game twice but the characters are still not appearing
Nothing short of brilliant. Amazing game, straight to my heart and to my absolute favorites. Well done!
Hello!! I loved your game when I played it a few months ago and now that it's completed I was planning to finish it. However, my Mac has Catalina (v__v the bane of our existence) and I tried using the chmod +x trick to get the app to work but the game logo is just sat on my taskbar with no window for the game.

Also tried to play the browser version after downloading it through the itch app but it's stuck at the loading screen :(
Nvm! Got is working after a bit :) i love the game >.<
wait can you tell me about the trick you used? the browser version isn't loading for me either ówò
I was completely blown away by this game, it surpassed all my expectations. The story is amazing and so well-staged, I remember staring at my screen, mouth agape, more than once. The characters? they have depth and when all thrown together they are just so good - I will die for every single of them. The dialogue is so funny but it also made me wanna jump out a window since I could not handle all the emotions thrown at me (you know what part I'm talking about!).
Wish I could give it 10 stars!
Hi, just wanted to say how much I love your games))) I accidentally stumbled upon Cardinal Cross on Steam, it was amazing and I looked up what else did you create, and well, you are my favorite author now💗 I even can not pick my favorite game from you, because all of them are perfect ;) But well, I especially love rpg gameplay of Ascension, I will probably explore all pixels of the map in the complete game.

I'm taking a short break due to a major overseas move for two-ish months, but I'm hoping to start working on new chapters as soon as I can! 😍😍😍
Hi Daga!
Thank you so much for playing and I'm so so happy you are enjoying my games! 💖💖💖
I just finished this and im currently downloading the second season, i wanted to tell you that i really enjoyed it!!! it's a super well written story with great characters and it seems there was a lot of thought behind it, i hope my computer wont die and ill have the chance of playing more of it.
(sorry if there is any misspelling in this, im argentinian and english its not my first language)
Thank you sooo much for playing grumpy! I hope you will enjoy S2 too! <3
WOWIE. This is so great! I love the MC and Alwenn. Its super duper sad that my mac can't open oathbreaker s2, but thats life and I will never forget this story. So thanks my dude for having this wonderful thing created.
Thank you sooo much, hottie_in_a_froggie!
Hope you will be able to play season 2 one day!
I finally managed to play the whole game - it's amazing! I barely managed to focus on anything else until I knew how it ended... and the romance just really broke my heart... ;-;
It kind of reminded me of "Ascension" - although you have made lots and lots of progress since " Ascension"! The art is beautiful and the story is very well written, and it gets even better in Oathbreaker 2! *-*
By the way, I loved that I got to see Captain Nina again. :D
I also really loved the music, though! Could you tell me the name of the song playing during Chapter 1 when Virion shows the MC a "different way of casting"? (trying to avoid spoilers here.)
Thank you for the great game and for making it free to play!! <3 :)
Hi DefinitelyNoPenguin!
Thank you so much for playing and I'm really glad you are enjoying it.
The song you mention is this one: https://audiojungle.net/item/epic-viking-ancient-theme/23144041
Oh my this was exquisite! Virion was the absolute best! His ending was so heartfelt I could hear his heart breaking and in the sequel his reunion was so good I cried!
💖💖💖 Thank you so much for playing! I hope you will enjoy the rest of the chapters too! 😄😄😄
This was one of the best VNs I´ve ever played. Witty, clever, mature, profound but not melodramatic or judgemental... And those awesome characters and lovely romances... (my favorite colour was always blue :)). I simply loved it. I guess I´ll have to go and see that patreon before season 2 ;).

HOW DO YOU GET PAST THE PILLAR PUZZLE T^T
If you're still stuck, try hitting the middle pillar and then the far right one!
Hi! I hope you are well.
I have an issue with the game, I wonder if you could help me out?
So, I was playing on the browser version, and I was at the part where Argandea and Virion were speaking with each other about how Warlocks aren't really thought well of. Then it froze.

I liked this game but I have a question for the developer: Is there any chance there will be a (purchaseable, it does not have to be for free, it does not even have to be cheap) NSFW version of this game in form of downloadable Windows executable and not just remote, web-browser-based, subscription only version?

Feels like I'm advertising Patreon, but as a creator, I'm really really happy with their platform and I think most people misunderstand how it actually works. Basically, the people who can afford it help those who can't access the content that they feel are worth it. ⭐
Feel free to join whenever you like. I do hope you will enjoy it, if you do! 🙂
Yes, I did join your patrons again and I downloaded it, thank you. It's not that I cannot subscribe of course I just dislike to do so. And my main concern was that I thought there will be no executable to download just a web-browser version like it was in the past (I was already your patron due to this game for one month about a year ago when I played it. ;-))
Ah, no wonder you thought they were browser based, then. It's been a while since I converted. Let me know if you have any more questions, and have fun! 🙂
So, the NSFW scenes are 5% of the game and you think it's not fair to sell it, but if we want it, we got to go make a donation on Patreon...
Logical.
Donations on Patreon give you way more than just %5 of the game, and it helps me fund it. So, yes. Logical. Why so aggressive? It's just a game.
There is no agressiveness in my ironic comment.
I'm just interested in your game, but I'll never support censorship, that's why I won't play this free version and that's one of the reasons I won't ever give any money to patreon (the other being that I believe that installements are an encouragement to work slowly, I prefer to give more but in one time, like for early access games)
I'm willing to reward you for your work, but if it's reserved to patreon, there is no problems with me, it's your loss. It is your game, you have the right to distribute it how you want, and I have the right to not like it, that's all.
You and I have very different definitions of censorship. This game is not a porn game where I'm censoring what is initially it's purpose. It's a plot heavy story game.
The free version is the full version, and the Patreon version is simply a gift among many other gifts to the people who support this game on a monthly basis, which is what I need to fund a new chapter each month. I work with a large team, and this is all of our main job.
I am not seeking any rewards for my work, as I mentioned before the full version is free. The game is simply being funded by regular support of the people who enjoy the work and want it to continue, and the rewards including the optional nsfw scenes are MY gifts to these people as my thanks.
This is the way I get to release an actual interactive story game for free for the people who are into story games not porn games, and I also get to make my patrons (the people who are actually interested in my games) happy.
What you believe that should and should not happen is irrelevant, as you are clearly not my audience. Your rightous quest for fighting against censorship on an indie game distribution website, against indie game developers who do the very best they can to fund the games on their own in an industry full of cold-hard economic decisions that are both shitty for developers and players alike is funny to me, but go off, I guess.
Again, rating an indie full game with a 0 star because you couldn't get your fix of digital dicks and tits is ridiculous.
You have a right to not like the way I distribute my game in a way that makes MY audience happy, and I have a right to find your pettiness funny.
There are thousands of porn games on this website, good ones too. Please move on. You are not entitled to everything.
For some reason i can't download the Mac files :/ and the game from this itch page won't run. It's just giving me a blank black screen
Try downloading via the itch.io application here: https://itch.io/app
If you are using Catalina, the game is not compatible with the OS. In that case you can either use this method:
Or you can simply use either Firefox or Google Chrome to play the browser version, as Safari can be a little unstable.
Thankfully, i'm not on Catalina OS but i still couldn't download and the browser version won't load, it just gives me a blank black screen even if my browser is chrome. But i'll try to download the file through the itch.io app :) Thanks for taking the time to answer!
Let me know if it works out! 🙂
Update: i've finally gotten it to download through the Itch.io app and it works :) thanks for the help!
Yvw! :) Hope you enjoy it!
