Whether you've been following this project since the very beginning over 15 years ago - or since the revival in 2014, the rebooted development around 2018, the Kickstarter in 2019 - or at literally any time in this historic production the result is the same:
BELOVED RAPTURE IS OUT NOW!!
Often cited as one of the most ambitious RPGMaker 2003 titles of all time, Beloved Rapture is finally fully playable! Boasting a ~25h average playtime, we're confident that it is worth the wait!
FEATURING:
- 6 playable characters to level up
- Classic JRPG exploration
- Choose from Classic or Story modes
- Active and Wait Mode turn-based combat options
- NO random encounters or filler quests
- Gorgeous hand-crafted pixel art
- A full 16-bit inspired OST
SOUNDTRACK
Speaking of...
A purchasable Steam OST for Beloved Rapture will be available SOON!
This full 47 track OST was composed by the wonderful Andreas Kotsamanidis, spanning well over 2 hours of music.
Final mastering was being done on tracks right up until release, so it wasn't quite ready for out launch. Our apologies for that! That will go live as soon as it's ready, and will be available for $7.99 USD. It will also have a launch discount - and will be offered in a Bundle with the main game (with the ability to purchase the soundtrack separately, while still getting that bundled discount retroactively!)
KICKSTARTER
This update is the most painful to share!
In a perfect world, all Kickstarter backers would have received their copies before anyone else. That was always the plan leading up to release...
Late in September, as we were gearing up to send those keys out, we learned that Kickstarter will actually expire contact lists!!? Suddenly we didn't have ANY names or emails of our backers!
The keys are sitting, waiting to be sent out. Our bottleneck right now is waiting on Kickstarter support to generate us a new contact list. We couldn't have anticipated this holdup, and we're so incredibly sorry to keep you waiting. The minute we have that list in hand, we'll be firing off emails!
tl;dr
If you previously backed the game, please be patient!
Your Steam key(s) will be sent out as soon as we're able.
Thank you for your understanding.

NOVUS ORBIS
This is Graeme, from 2 Left Thumbs, chiming in to share an upcoming game that I think would appeal to this audience!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2437330/Novus_Orbis/
Novus Orbis is similarly inspired by classic turn-based RPGs, with a deckbuilding roguelike spin, borrowing from genre-defining games like Slay the Spire and The Binding of Isaac. There is an extensive demo available now. Please check that out, and give it a Wishlist!
Also similar to Beloved Rapture, this project has an upcoming Kickstarter, that could use your support. Please give that a follow so you don't miss the campaign!
