Love the game so much; unfortunately, probably because I didn't see the warning about not using too many save spaces and all that jazz, my game keeps freezing in the middle of the Finale part 2 and nothing I've done seems to fix it; I've tried deleting my history, including the offline data, and trying to use Chrome as opposed to Firefox but it's either getting stuck in the same place, won't let me open a New Game (keeps freezing when I select "pick a chapter"), or just won't open at all
Just did a bit of testing and different question options made the game freeze in different places; "Who?" froze on the response to the question; "What?" (my original answer) freezes part way through the conversation; and "Where?" freezes on the question itself
You need to make sure you cleaned your offline website data and make sure the save files are completely wiped out first. Then start a new game and choose the last chapter to play. Also make sure you are not using the instant message speed, as it seems to be clashing with Live2D characters and cause freezing. Alternatively you could try the download file. 💖 Let me know if any of these works for you!
Great game, totally love it! But... but... please tell me that these are very small kingdoms and there are very fast means to travel between them. I mean - I (as MC, not real me :)) just tell Alwenn that I love her and there is no other and after that - you know, it's really; REALLY hard not to notice that you're cosplaying an old typewriter :D
Sorry for being unclear, just tried to avoid spoilers :)
I have no idea how to hide the text_ so for anyone who not played yet - spoilers ahead :D
The typewriter joke is from some ancient movie:
- How do you feel?
- Like an old typewriter, skippping period.
Well, question was about MC's pregnancy. To be pregnant and to have not even suspicion - that should be a pretty early term. And after seeing so many beautiful romantic scenes with Alwenn - I really hope that happened before their relationship bloomed (yeah I know I'm hell of oldfasioned :D ). Hence the question about the world size. Heroes must travel very fast to MC still have no idea about her pregnancy at Final chapter. But probably warlocks have it different for all I know :D
And the second question - how Elius know about MC's pregnancy?
Thank you so much for explaining! 1- She wouldn't have suspected because Warlocks are, due to their corrupt surge, infertile. Not to mention she wasn't overly concerned about her missing period while the world was in danger of being destroyed by Thar'akith.
2- The whole trip from Walinad to Sindan, and to Gael to Khell took about 4 months at most. If Thyia had a male LI, that would make her 2 mo pregnant, if she had a female LI, she is about 4 mo. Some body types don't start showing until the end of the 4 mo, so we are in the clear (barely :) But I couldn't have changed the sprites due to spoilers.).
3- Elius knew because of the same reason how Thar'akith knew. How Thyia knew. Elius is a loyal follower of Xiris, and although her messages are not always clear and comes as nightmares and dreams, this one was very clear.
Hope I could answer all of your questions! :) Let me know if you have any more.
I was playing the online version when i unententionally refreshed the game without saving and i thought "well imma download the game !" and i'm under Mac, downloaded the two versions and i still can't run it... Does someone has the same problem ? Do i have to install something else in order to run the game ?
This game is insane ! I cannot believe we can play it for free ! Every character are so complex and well written, every love interest brings a new facet of the MC to light. The plot is closer to a fantasy novel than a visual novel beacause it treats of politic, sacrifies, and even racial prejudices; and this is what I love the most.
I've been following you for a long time, since ascension and I just have to say I love your games and I can't see wait for the second season of oath breaker!!! Thank you for your time and effort and for making this beautiful games for free for us 😍
Damn it, you had to add a cliffhanger, didn't you? This was so damn amazing, I was really into it. The graphics, the sound, the storyline, it's amazing!
Hi I was up to Part 1: Finale exactly at the decision on whether to 'hire' the students, when I tried to load only the for the game to freeze on the loading screen. I have tried multiple to times to load, even closing the entire browser (Google Chrome). I really love this game and have been a fan of your games since the original Ascension series, I would really like to avoid having to start this game again from the start :(( any suggestions? Thanks :))
Clean your browser history and make sure you deleted all of your offline website data. Starting a new game gives you the option to start from any chapter you like. Don't worry about starting over. Alternatively you could try using the download version or using firefox instead. Firefox is the preferred browser for this game. Make sure you use only 4-5 save slots at a time. More than that will cause freezing. :)
YASSSS. Awesome
game, highly recommended. Just played the first part of Season Two and I did
not think it could get any better BUT GURL - IT DID. Thank you for making my quarantine
life a little less grey, with this glorious virtual novel.
This is and Ascension is sooo good. Can't wait for the updates, fam (way too excited tbh oof) . I'm sure whatever you do will be great btw! Thanks for making them, Rin.
Hey :) love this game so far. i'm making a playthrough of it for my Youtube channel and don't mind linking back for others to play and support if that is ok with you.
so far they love it. editing more today to post. its been a while but life happens. Enjoying the game. My only crit is the beginning was abrupt but the rest is amazing.
I really love your games and this game is so good, but I haven't been able to get past the part in chapter 4 after my character has burned the ship and Virion is talking with the king and his advisers. It always freezes when he is talking to Argandea, always at the same spot. I originally started this game on your website and I couldn't get past that part, and then I found it here so I went through the game again and it stopped at the same place, and it always stops there, no matter from what saved slot I go from. I play on chrome and I've also tried on firefox but the same thing happened there too.
This game is so good and I'd be really sad if I couldn't finish it, do you have any ideas as to what's wrong?
I cleared all my browser history and data, but I think I'll give the download a shot, since clearing the data lost my online progress anyway. I know I can start from a certain chapter, and I may just be being too particular, but I like to play the game all the way through xD, so I'll see how the download goes.
Thanks for your help! I'll let you know if I run into any trouble :)
So, it turns out the download also freezes at that point, so I tried online again and it didn't freeze when I started at chapter 4. So clearing my website data must have worked, thank you!
I finally got itch.io to work for me on my new computer! I'm so excited to replay all of this and wait for season 2. <3 I'm a nurse, so I'm still working during this quarantine, but I have 2 days off coming up finally and I can't wait to play! Thanks, Rin <3
this is honestly such a good visual novel and im really happy i played it, it really hit my feels at times and now i have to wait to see what happens,,,,, bittersweet, i tell you
I had a great time playing Oathbreaker, and really enjoyed the story and the characters. (The whole plot inspired me, and cured my writer's block... for a while) (´∀｀•)
Unfortunately, I can't finish the game.
After playing the scene where King Raelan is taking with his Uncle in the dungeon in the Finale - Part One, the page reloads and restarts the whole game. （ ｉДｉ ）
I am using Safari, and I am using Mobile. I've read a past comment, where you informed the person to clear browser history and offline site history and keep close to the wireless source, but it doesn't work for me. ( -д-；)
Either way, I am really happy that I got to experience this game and I am eagerly waiting for the next season. (ノ^о^)ノ
Thank you sooo much for playing and really happy you enjoy the game so far! You can try playing it on chrome instead of safari, since Safari tends do have some sound issues too!
That scene is animation heavy, so I think that's why your browser is crashing. Let me know if chrome version works out for you! :)
I'm really happy that I found this game. I liked it, so I think I will pay for full version when I will be paid. Even better I discovered your other games and really liked them too) I'm not sure why I have not find them earlier… Will be (not) patiently waiting for next season. If you don't mind I have a question: on what engine this game is done? I rarely see characters that can move this ways
Hi Aqua_Lime! Thank you soo much for playing and really happy you enjoyed it! :) I used Visual Novel Maker in this game, but I will be changing the engine next season due to it's many bugs and glitches! :)
Saw this the other day and that "Oathbreaker" was by the same creators of Ascension; played the whole game twice in one sitting. Loved every minute of it; family members can attest to me being a giggling, raving mess! Think I may have a penchant for elves, especially dark, dangerous, flirty ones >_< Keep up the good work! Can not wait for the season 2 and know it will be just as or even more so amazing than this season. <3
Finished season 1... Also want to die because that cliffhanger is so brutal.
Although I'm not overly fond of the art style, nothing could detract from the frankly MASTERFUL storytelling done in this visual novel. It is *chef's kiss* magnifique, truly.
But especially Virion's route. And I picked all the dialog that I knew would hurt me the most, ugh, why? Season 2 is definitely on my list (the good one).
*Edit: the thought just occurred to me as I was browsing tiers of your patreon because I'd love to have the full nsfw version of the game-- would you ever consider releasing a paid version on itch.io of the nsfw game? I desperately want to give you my money, but can't currently justify the monthly patreon payments in my tight budget when my eye is solely captured by that one addition to the game.
Further aside-- I would have paid money for this version of the game, I'm so attached to it.
Thank you sooo much for playing, Admint! Season 2 will have amazing artists working on the Sprites & CGs, so hopefully you will enjoy it much more! 🤩
As for Patreon, the full nsfw version is a download file, so you can pledge for the Coolpaca tier for one month, grab it and cancel for the next month.
It would be the same as buying the NSFW version here, but with bonus benefits you can have from pledging. (i.g: WIP imagines from season 2, the prologue/chapter 1 of Ascension:Remake and extra manga shorts of Oathbreaker!)
I played your Ascension games way back in the the day, even repeated them multiple times to get every little dialogue option. I stopped following your work a year or so after, yet yesterday, I was looking at a blank google page wondering what I should do, and the name "rinmaru" popped in my head. Played this, in one afternoon and let me tell you how hooked I got :) Really happy with the option to romance girls this time around too. Will be looking foward for season 2. (THAT CLIFFHANGER THO) ❤️
Hi Ccathpp! Thank you so much for playing OB! Along with OB season 2, I'm also working on Ascension: Remake here.(With Sky as a romance option addition.)
p.s: I can't wait to start releasing season 2 episodes too! 😍
This is so damn exciting! "Oathbreaker" is really something new. I mean, your stories are becoming more and more interesting. Composite. Realistic, as I feel. Easy-diving. What's cool. And I'm also admired by your ability to make such a charismatic MC with non-usual backstory. Thank you ♥
ps. Where can I learn more about your Universe? I`m in love with it! Unf, Wikies is not full enough
Thank you so much for playing! I'm soo happy you enjoyed it!
There is not much written info on the Universe yet, but season 2 will have lots and lots of bonus lore information laying around that you can explore and find during the game! I really hope you will enjoy it just as much! 😍
Hi Zali! The second season is a work in progress still. We are almost done with the main character sprites. I'll let everybody know when it's arrived. Don't worry! :)
I just played the game for the first time and I have to say it's amazing. While I wasn't too fond of the 3D style CGs at first I grew quite fond of them, I'm glad I gave it a try. The story and the characters are intriguing, the mini games are a pleasant addition.
My only issue is replayabilitiy, in a way - I always play one game multiple times to see all "routes" , and it may be just my limited knowledge but I can't seem to find a way to make it so the engine skips only previously read text? I've toggled the option on and off in the settings multiple times, tried skipping using ctrl as well as simply pressing the skip button, and it seems to always skip all text regardless. It makes it rather difficult to go through the game with different romances and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong ^^'' I'm so used to how RenPy works that I'm quite lost to different engines
Hi Hushibe! Thank you so much for playing! Unfortunately VNmaker has several bugs and issues like this. :( Hopefully S2 won't have as many problems as this one, since I'll be using a different engine! Really happy you enjoyed the game regardless! :)
This is literally my favourite game! It was the first visual novel that really got me hooked in! Not gonna lie, I literally check every day to see if there's anything new. You are so amazing at what you do!! Keep up the good work, Rin! <3
when nina showed up i may have shed a little tear....but! i haved always loved your visual novels, and eee!! im so excited for the acsension remake!! love you lots rin, keep going!!
I love this so much and I'm distraught, I've played this game on both desktop and download; everytime it always stops at "Finale - Part 1" right after the "round rat short fella" says "But, first you must pay your rent". I desperately hope there's a solution as this is my favourite piece of art.
Hi Rougarou2! For the browser version, try cleaning your browser history and offline website data (make sure your save files are completely wiped) and start from the last chapter. Keep your save files to a maximum of 3-4, and make sure you are close to your wireless source. For the download version, some scenes may load slower than usual so you may need to wait a little bit more. (Also make sure your text speed isn't set to instant.) If all else fails, try skipping past that part holding ctrl in the download version. =) Hope this helps!
I just found this game recently and downloaded it to play and honestly it is the best visual novel I have ever read. Imagine my face when the screen said “Season 2 coming soon” I actually started crying😂
I've been away from your games since you ended your Tumblr and i ended up not following you anywhere else, but, as someone who first played Ascension back when it was first released yars ago, when i could barely understand English without needing to use Google Translate, i'm so happy to have found Oathbreaker!
Your characters are amazing, as captivating as always. Can't wait to see more of your work in the future (specially the Ascension remake)!
A few typos here and there, and a number of issues with the UI (like not understanding how the minigames work, or knowing what a dialogue option would result in)... but all in all, the overall story was captivating.
Normally, I can see a plot coming a mile away, but the pacing and the development of Oathbreaker really had me too wrapped up in the story to even think about how Season 1 was going to end, making the reveal unexpected and delightful.
Hopefully, the next engine will allow you to spend a bit more time refining the user experience, and maybe if we're really lucky it'll be easy enough for you to use that you'll remaster Season 1 into a single, cohesive distributable as part of Season 2*.
As a side note, if you decide to go with Unity, feel free to drop me a message if you need any tips.
Hi shadus! Thank you so much for playing and your comment!
It's definitely a dream to remaster S1, but I'm hoping S2 will still be easily playable even if you didn't look into S1. I'm currently using rpgmaker for my other game and it's features look very promising for the world of Oathbreaker.
If everything (technically) goes right with my other game, I might use it for S2 too!
Again, thank you very much for your message and your offer to help with Unity! 🤩🤩🤩
Whilst I really am loving the game and the dialogue/Romance, It completely freezes on me numerous times at different points (ALWAYS at the dwarf I end up throwing inside) so I have to save a lot and close and re-open the game, complete freeze.
Hi Celestina, It sounds like a save issue. Try cleaning your browser history completely and make sure your offline website data is gone. Start a new game (you can start from any of the chapters), and try using only 4-5 save slots at most.
Alternatively, you could try the download version.
How many chapters are there to play? I got to chapter 5 last night and couldn’t put it down. It’s been such a long time since I read a really good story. I hope you continue this.
Hi, Enmirii! There are 6 chapters in total in Season 1. The last chapter is a combination of 2 chapters, so it's very long. And season 2 is on the way! =)
Thank you, that’s exciting to hear. I do have some concerns. The controls are difficult with the mouse.
I can’t tell which menu button I’m going to click on before I click on it. I’ve been hitting skip instead of save, which is frustrating trying to see different routes.
Is there no access to the settings from the character dialogue screen? I can return to the title, but I have to save my game and then go back into settings to change anything. I have before hit escape on the keyboard and watched my unsaved progress close the game.
Is there a way to read previous text? I use auto because the mouse won’t click on the laptop, and some of the longer texts get cut off before I can read it. (I’ve adjusted the speed now so most don’t.)
I may have missed it, but is there a controls screen or information somewhere on the title screen about how to interact with the game? Can I switch to keyboard?
When making the first potion it was a lot harder then the medical herb one because I didn’t know what I was picking up and the mouse was having a hard time actually picking up items. I really appreciated the commentary the main character gave in the medical herb one more. I guessed with the other mixing.
Otherwise no concerns. I’m really enjoying the game story wise, just a few frustrations with accidentally skipping text, not knowing how to read previous dialogue, and difficulties actually clicking on the hitboxes of the items in the mixing screen.
I'm afraid most of these technical difficulties are due to the engine's capacity. There is a backlog function in the engine, but I turned it off due to it not working correctly online. Next season will be done in a different engine, so I'm hoping the technical problems you counted won't repeat! 🙏
Just a question for the mini games, do you have trouble with the online version or download? :)
i love this, after i played the other games namely the ascension and it was good too. dunno how the remake will be different but i guess i have a weak spot for elves huh xD love different personalities ans detailed backgrounds really really want to see the baby in the second part and hope the MC lives - got attached to her ways
Hello! I really love all of your games, and since flash is dying I was trying to download OB to play it in my mac, but when I try to open the game, it says that the app cannot be opened :( Any idea on how I can fix this? My OS is Catalina 10.15.1
Soo... When I try to play the browser version, it gets stuck at "Now loading" and when I try to download and play the game, all I get is a black screen...
Oh gosh, I really know absolutely nothing about computers and specs... But my computer is a macbook air 13" early 2015. The OS is the newest version of macOS Mojave... Hope this helps...
And I have tried downloading both of the mac files, but got the same result from both. I have loved your games since the first Ascension game came out, and I would really love to be able to play this one, so I was really bummed out when it didn't work... :(
For the browser version, try playing on a different browser like Chrome or Firefox. Make sure you are close to your wi-fi source. :) For the download version, I tried and couldn't replicate the bug with my Mac. May be a gtx issue. Is your graphics card driver up to date?
I am already playing from chrome, it still doesn't work :(
I don't know about my graphics card – as far as I can tell it's called something like "Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB", but I have to admit I don't really know what that means haha....
Try a different browser. If Chrome doesn't work, Firefox may. If everything else fails, you can play with your mobile. It's mobile compatible (though you may have trouble with sounds.)
I just beat the game and.........................................it was so damn good........................................that ending tho......................................................cannot wait for more, but I will patiently..................

And - how the hell did Elius know about that?
Thank you so much for playing!
And I really don't understand your question. Do you mind explaining?
How did Elius know about what exactly?
Why would the kingdoms be small?
Cosplaying an old typewriter, I'm completely lost here. 🤔
English isn't my native language, so excuse me if I'm missing an inside joke. :)
If some things are not clear enough the first time, a second play through may help.
Otherwise, I would be happy to reply if I can understand what you are trying to ask! 💖

I was playing the online version when i unententionally refreshed the game without saving and i thought "well imma download the game !" and i'm under Mac, downloaded the two versions and i still can't run it... Does someone has the same problem ? Do i have to install something else in order to run the game ?
Hi nabooru!
Are you using Catalina? :)
If you are using Catalina try following these steps:
Yes i do am under catalina ! problem is the link doesn't work, i'll try to find by myself but thank you very much !
This game is insane ! I cannot believe we can play it for free ! Every character are so complex and well written, every love interest brings a new facet of the MC to light. The plot is closer to a fantasy novel than a visual novel beacause it treats of politic, sacrifies, and even racial prejudices; and this is what I love the most.
Hi Pluie!
Thank you sooo much for playing and I'm so happy you liked it!
Season 2 is coming soon here!
I hope you will like it just as much! :) 💖
i love how the characters casually insult each other, it's so much like real life. great game. :)
Thank you so much for playing, 4re! Happy you enjoyed the insulting! Haha :P
thanks for making it. also the story is amazing and so is the art. =D <3<3<3
I've been following you for a long time, since ascension and I just have to say I love your games and I can't see wait for the second season of oath breaker!!! Thank you for your time and effort and for making this beautiful games for free for us 😍
Thank you so so much for playing Miffy! I hope you will like S2 just as much! :) 💖
Damn it, you had to add a cliffhanger, didn't you? This was so damn amazing, I was really into it. The graphics, the sound, the storyline, it's amazing!

Thank you sooo much for playing, Skylar! Really happy to be making them. >=)
Hey :) love this game so far. i'm making a playthrough of it for my Youtube channel and don't mind linking back for others to play and support if that is ok with you.
Hi Thornerose,
Of course. Thank you so much for asking and I hope you and your viewers have fun! :)

Wait!! Wait!! So, season 2 is going to be a separate game, right? Like you're are not adding on to this game?
It will be a separate game! :)
Oh ok!! Thank you
I have never wanted to play a visual novel so badly. I was sad when I saw that I had to wait for season 2 to find out what happens with Virion.
❤️ Soon!
I can't wait
THE CLIFFHANGER,,, IM SO UPSET
this is honestly such a good visual novel and im really happy i played it, it really hit my feels at times and now i have to wait to see what happens,,,,, bittersweet, i tell you

Will be (not) patiently waiting for next season.
If you don't mind I have a question: on what engine this game is done? I rarely see characters that can move this ways
Hi Aqua_Lime!
Thank you soo much for playing and really happy you enjoyed it! :)
I used Visual Novel Maker in this game, but I will be changing the engine next season due to it's many bugs and glitches! :)
Hiya, so I'm having a little difficulty with the mini game - I can only seem to click on the recipe book and nothing else
Hi CheekyMonkey,
Are you using the download version or the browser? :)
It's ok! I was using safari but I've switched to chrome and its working perfectly now :D
Great! Happy to know it works now. I hope you enjoy it! :) <3
Saw this the other day and that "Oathbreaker" was by the same creators of Ascension; played the whole game twice in one sitting. Loved every minute of it; family members can attest to me being a giggling, raving mess! Think I may have a penchant for elves, especially dark, dangerous, flirty ones >_< Keep up the good work! Can not wait for the season 2 and know it will be just as or even more so amazing than this season. <3
Thank you so much for playing, Castonovia!
So happy you enjoyed S1 and I can't wait to show everyone the progress of S2!!!😍😍😍
Finished season 1... Also want to die because that cliffhanger is so brutal.
Although I'm not overly fond of the art style, nothing could detract from the frankly MASTERFUL storytelling done in this visual novel. It is *chef's kiss* magnifique, truly.
But especially Virion's route. And I picked all the dialog that I knew would hurt me the most, ugh, why? Season 2 is definitely on my list (the good one).
*Edit: the thought just occurred to me as I was browsing tiers of your patreon because I'd love to have the full nsfw version of the game-- would you ever consider releasing a paid version on itch.io of the nsfw game? I desperately want to give you my money, but can't currently justify the monthly patreon payments in my tight budget when my eye is solely captured by that one addition to the game.
Further aside-- I would have paid money for this version of the game, I'm so attached to it.
Thank you sooo much for playing, Admint!
Season 2 will have amazing artists working on the Sprites & CGs, so hopefully you will enjoy it much more! 🤩
As for Patreon, the full nsfw version is a download file, so you can pledge for the Coolpaca tier for one month, grab it and cancel for the next month.
It would be the same as buying the NSFW version here, but with bonus benefits you can have from pledging. (i.g: WIP imagines from season 2, the prologue/chapter 1 of Ascension:Remake and extra manga shorts of Oathbreaker!)
Thanks for the assist on that-- I will be sure to snag it from your Patreon! Best of luck with the upcoming season!
I played your Ascension games way back in the the day, even repeated them multiple times to get every little dialogue option. I stopped following your work a year or so after, yet yesterday, I was looking at a blank google page wondering what I should do, and the name "rinmaru" popped in my head. Played this, in one afternoon and let me tell you how hooked I got :) Really happy with the option to romance girls this time around too. Will be looking foward for season 2. (THAT CLIFFHANGER THO) ❤️
Hi Ccathpp!
Thank you so much for playing OB! Along with OB season 2, I'm also working on Ascension: Remake here.(With Sky as a romance option addition.)
p.s: I can't wait to start releasing season 2 episodes too! 😍
This is so damn exciting! "Oathbreaker" is really something new. I mean, your stories are becoming more and more interesting. Composite. Realistic, as I feel. Easy-diving. What's cool. And I'm also admired by your ability to make such a charismatic MC with non-usual backstory. Thank you ♥
ps. Where can I learn more about your Universe? I`m in love with it! Unf, Wikies is not full enough
Hi Circe,
Thank you so much for playing! I'm soo happy you enjoyed it!
There is not much written info on the Universe yet, but season 2 will have lots and lots of bonus lore information laying around that you can explore and find during the game! I really hope you will enjoy it just as much! 😍
Who's your favorite romance? Mine would have to be Virion because that banter and emotional punch are just *chef's kisses*
I could be wrong, but Virion seems to be mc's soulmate... or kind of. IMHO, their relationships is the most harmonious.
Played and loved this. I have a couple of questions though. Firstly is version 2 out. Secondly if not when is it gonna be out. thank you so much!
Hi Zali!
The second season is a work in progress still. We are almost done with the main character sprites.
I'll let everybody know when it's arrived. Don't worry! :)
I just played the game for the first time and I have to say it's amazing. While I wasn't too fond of the 3D style CGs at first I grew quite fond of them, I'm glad I gave it a try. The story and the characters are intriguing, the mini games are a pleasant addition.
My only issue is replayabilitiy, in a way - I always play one game multiple times to see all "routes" , and it may be just my limited knowledge but I can't seem to find a way to make it so the engine skips only previously read text? I've toggled the option on and off in the settings multiple times, tried skipping using ctrl as well as simply pressing the skip button, and it seems to always skip all text regardless. It makes it rather difficult to go through the game with different romances and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong ^^'' I'm so used to how RenPy works that I'm quite lost to different engines
Hi Hushibe!
Thank you so much for playing!
Unfortunately VNmaker has several bugs and issues like this. :(
Hopefully S2 won't have as many problems as this one, since I'll be using a different engine!
Really happy you enjoyed the game regardless! :)
This is literally my favourite game! It was the first visual novel that really got me hooked in! Not gonna lie, I literally check every day to see if there's anything new. You are so amazing at what you do!! Keep up the good work, Rin! <3
Thank you so much for playing, Chance! Really happy you liked it! 💓💓💓
when nina showed up i may have shed a little tear....but! i haved always loved your visual novels, and eee!! im so excited for the acsension remake!! love you lots rin, keep going!!
😍😍😍 Thank you soooo much, Flowers!
I love this so much and I'm distraught, I've played this game on both desktop and download; everytime it always stops at "Finale - Part 1" right after the "round rat short fella" says "But, first you must pay your rent". I desperately hope there's a solution as this is my favourite piece of art.
Hi Rougarou2!
For the browser version, try cleaning your browser history and offline website data (make sure your save files are completely wiped) and start from the last chapter. Keep your save files to a maximum of 3-4, and make sure you are close to your wireless source.
For the download version, some scenes may load slower than usual so you may need to wait a little bit more. (Also make sure your text speed isn't set to instant.) If all else fails, try skipping past that part holding ctrl in the download version. =) Hope this helps!
I just found this game recently and downloaded it to play and honestly it is the best visual novel I have ever read. Imagine my face when the screen said “Season 2 coming soon” I actually started crying😂
Thank you so much for playing, Becca! Really happy you enjoyed OB! :) Hopefully S2 will be just as fun for you! ⭐⭐⭐
I've been away from your games since you ended your Tumblr and i ended up not following you anywhere else, but, as someone who first played Ascension back when it was first released yars ago, when i could barely understand English without needing to use Google Translate, i'm so happy to have found Oathbreaker!
Your characters are amazing, as captivating as always. Can't wait to see more of your work in the future (specially the Ascension remake)!
Thank you for playing! I hope you will enjoy them! ❤️❤️❤️
Do you have cannon name for MC? :)
Yes. If you leave the name box empty, MC's name will be Thyia. :)
A few typos here and there, and a number of issues with the UI (like not understanding how the minigames work, or knowing what a dialogue option would result in)... but all in all, the overall story was captivating.
Normally, I can see a plot coming a mile away, but the pacing and the development of Oathbreaker really had me too wrapped up in the story to even think about how Season 1 was going to end, making the reveal unexpected and delightful.
Hopefully, the next engine will allow you to spend a bit more time refining the user experience, and maybe if we're really lucky it'll be easy enough for you to use that you'll remaster Season 1 into a single, cohesive distributable as part of Season 2*.
As a side note, if you decide to go with Unity, feel free to drop me a message if you need any tips.
*edited for clarity
Hi shadus!
Thank you so much for playing and your comment!
It's definitely a dream to remaster S1, but I'm hoping S2 will still be easily playable even if you didn't look into S1.
I'm currently using rpgmaker for my other game and it's features look very promising for the world of Oathbreaker.
If everything (technically) goes right with my other game, I might use it for S2 too!
Again, thank you very much for your message and your offer to help with Unity! 🤩🤩🤩
Whilst I really am loving the game and the dialogue/Romance, It completely freezes on me numerous times at different points (ALWAYS at the dwarf I end up throwing inside) so I have to save a lot and close and re-open the game, complete freeze.
Hi Celestina,
It sounds like a save issue. Try cleaning your browser history completely and make sure your offline website data is gone. Start a new game (you can start from any of the chapters), and try using only 4-5 save slots at most.
Alternatively, you could try the download version.
Hope it helps!
How many chapters are there to play? I got to chapter 5 last night and couldn’t put it down. It’s been such a long time since I read a really good story. I hope you continue this.
Hi, Enmirii!
There are 6 chapters in total in Season 1. The last chapter is a combination of 2 chapters, so it's very long.
And season 2 is on the way! =)
Thank you, that’s exciting to hear. I do have some concerns. The controls are difficult with the mouse.
I can’t tell which menu button I’m going to click on before I click on it. I’ve been hitting skip instead of save, which is frustrating trying to see different routes.
Is there no access to the settings from the character dialogue screen? I can return to the title, but I have to save my game and then go back into settings to change anything. I have before hit escape on the keyboard and watched my unsaved progress close the game.
Is there a way to read previous text? I use auto because the mouse won’t click on the laptop, and some of the longer texts get cut off before I can read it. (I’ve adjusted the speed now so most don’t.)
I may have missed it, but is there a controls screen or information somewhere on the title screen about how to interact with the game? Can I switch to keyboard?
When making the first potion it was a lot harder then the medical herb one because I didn’t know what I was picking up and the mouse was having a hard time actually picking up items. I really appreciated the commentary the main character gave in the medical herb one more. I guessed with the other mixing.
Otherwise no concerns. I’m really enjoying the game story wise, just a few frustrations with accidentally skipping text, not knowing how to read previous dialogue, and difficulties actually clicking on the hitboxes of the items in the mixing screen.
I'm afraid most of these technical difficulties are due to the engine's capacity. There is a backlog function in the engine, but I turned it off due to it not working correctly online.
Next season will be done in a different engine, so I'm hoping the technical problems you counted won't repeat! 🙏
Just a question for the mini games, do you have trouble with the online version or download? :)
That’s too bad. I am on the downloaded version on a Windows.
i love this, after i played the other games namely the ascension and it was good too. dunno how the remake will be different but i guess i have a weak spot for elves huh xD love different personalities ans detailed backgrounds really really want to see the baby in the second part and hope the MC lives - got attached to her ways
😉 Hope you will enjoy S2 just as much! Thank you so much for playing!
Hello! I really love all of your games, and since flash is dying I was trying to download OB to play it in my mac, but when I try to open the game, it says that the app cannot be opened :( Any idea on how I can fix this? My OS is Catalina 10.15.1
Hi Alice!
The games are not Catalina compatible, but there is a way around it one of my Patron's found out.
I hope this helps! :)
Soo... When I try to play the browser version, it gets stuck at "Now loading" and when I try to download and play the game, all I get is a black screen...
Mind telling me your OS and specs? :) Also, are you sure you downloaded the correct file?
Oh gosh, I really know absolutely nothing about computers and specs... But my computer is a macbook air 13" early 2015. The OS is the newest version of macOS Mojave... Hope this helps...
And I have tried downloading both of the mac files, but got the same result from both. I have loved your games since the first Ascension game came out, and I would really love to be able to play this one, so I was really bummed out when it didn't work... :(
For the browser version, try playing on a different browser like Chrome or Firefox. Make sure you are close to your wi-fi source. :)
For the download version, I tried and couldn't replicate the bug with my Mac. May be a gtx issue. Is your graphics card driver up to date?
I am already playing from chrome, it still doesn't work :(
I don't know about my graphics card – as far as I can tell it's called something like "Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB", but I have to admit I don't really know what that means haha....
Try a different browser. If Chrome doesn't work, Firefox may. If everything else fails, you can play with your mobile. It's mobile compatible (though you may have trouble with sounds.)
I just beat the game and.........................................it was so damn good........................................that ending tho......................................................cannot wait for more, but I will patiently..................
Happy you enjoyed it, Vale!!! 🤩 Thank you so much for playing!
YESSS I played this in the browser along with all your other games and man I love it to much. Such an exciting and interesting story, thank you!!
