Beloved Rapture is SNES-styled turn-based RPG.
A story focused on existentialism, spirituality, friendship, LGBT themes, and identity.

The pixel art is greatly inspired by the 16-bit classics: Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, FFVI, Terranigma, Rudras, and more.

Interpersonal stories take center stage in our narrative. Characters challenge not only the next looming dungeon boss—but themselves, and their own demons.

  • An original soundtrack inspired by the 16-bit era.
  • Nostalgic pixel art crafted with love.
  • Classic “ATB” system - time-sensitive turn based battles, with fully-animated monsters.
  • Maps and dungeons that are rich in detail, filled with hidden secrets.
  • 5 unique playable characters - spanned across 4 distinct “chapters."




Johan, an introverted man from the countryside, finds himself thrown into a conflict beyond his comprehension. The Aeons—-an enigmatic & cultish militia-—move ever-closer to his hometown.

Now faced with a threat to his once-elysian way of life, Johan must contemplate the role he is destined to play in their escalating conflict.

At his side are Aiden, the mysterious son of a Shrine caretaker, who has trained since childhood in the mystic arts; and Crystal, a runaway noblewoman intent on ending the war before it reaches her family.

Through their travels, Johan is intrigued by Aiden's increasing fascination with him, as well as the appearance of Draco, an Aeon soldier with a connection to his own mother.

Demo 2.0 Uploaded

Hi all!

Since launching the demo in October 2022, we've received a tremendous amount of support and critiques from all across the spectrum.

I wanted to personally thank everyone who's played the game thus far - it truly means the world to us!

Over the past months, Giznads and I dug into all the feedback, and rebalanced many aspects of the gameplay experience itself. In some cases, we added entirely new systems (such as swimming / fishing).

The demo will still contain the game's first chapter, but with some significant overhaul & refinement. I believe this version represents a more accurate picture of what the final game might feel like!



A list of changes

  • Added GUIDE Menu: A large menu subsection that allows the player to check the map, view quests, enemy details, game mechanics, and more!
  • Swimming: Certain bodies of water are now traversable! The player can also dive to reach hidden gold, chests, or underwater switches!
  • Active vs Wait Modes: The player can now CHOOSE if they want battles to run on ACTIVE mode (a FF7 style ATB), vs WAIT (enemies won't attack continuously until the player chooses). This can be changed at any time in the menu.
  • Maiden Statues Rebalanced: Statues will now only give a GODDESS TEAR item if the game is running on Story Mode. Otherwise, they only offer single-use healing.
  • Fishing: Use your fishing rod + lure at certain locations throughout the game! Over 15 unique fish to catch!
  • Item Messages: The "Item Found" message boxes now will show a small visual icon of each item once it's been obtained!
  • Golden Chests: New varieties of treasure. Chests will look visually distinct if they contain Gear/Equipment.
  • Stats Rebalanced: Some enemies were adjusted according to player feedback.
  • New locations: Chapter 1 has been greatly expanded with over 4 new optional areas & hidden treasures.
  • Graphical Bugs: Minor visual bugs fixed.

Hey Blind your link is down, unless you took it down on purpose then all good.
Your mapping is awesome, but to be honest, this game bores me. You need more interaction with the player.
I love Beloved Rapture's maps and grass/falls locations. Screw the plot, check out that awesome maps.
Wow, this is certainly a larger download than most of the games on here. I hope it's good!
I loved the maps too! it can still improve though! maybe you should throw in some plot-changin decision or something. Also, change the highlight pattern of choices in the menus, i once chose " quit" instead of "save " and i had to go over a big chunk of the game =_=. i long for the final realease!
This game is fantastic. Who cares what you all think, this guy is a genius. A lot of people may not like this game because they do not understand it from beginning. Well that exactly why it's a super game. I mean wouldn't you wanna know what happens next after being puzzled from start towards near the end. The action and drama is brilliant. So is the dialogue and the music can be boring at times but is also very exciting most of the game as it mainly focuses on the plot. I only wish the game was longer.

This is a nice game! Good job :D only thing is, I wouldn't really say that it's an original soundtrack considering that there are other artists in this game that are not listed in the above credits. :/

I'm actually really looking forward to the next demo. Despite what all the people said, I was personally still able to enjoy this game. Though I'm still not very far in the game, but anyway.
