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.

Hey everyone!
A heartfelt thanks to Benny, plus Liberty and the team, for helping get RMN back online! We owe them a debt of gratitude for getting everything up and functional.
I'll save the long trip down memory lane for another day... but it feels nice to be able to confirm, on the literal website which defined its origin, that Beloved Rapture is finished. ^-^
You can download or Wishlist it here:
store.steampowered.com/app/2017620/Beloved_Rapture/
The game debuted on Steam in October 2024 (only a few days before Metaphor Re:Fantazio, womp). xD
I have some distance from the game now, so it's easier to say this, but looking back, part of me is shocked we actually got it out. The small team I assembled worked on the project commercially from 2018-2024. And if you count the process of funding the custom assets, it technically began in 2017. So that was ~roughly seven long years from the point of creating a brand new RM2k3 folder, until clicking the button on release day in an adrenaline-filled apotheosis.
...I kid. But yeah, it was a wild and tumultuous ride. Made especially pleasant by Giznads joining the project in 2022, which allowed us to truly speed up production much faster than I could have done alone. And even though we ran out of the Kickstarter money like multiple years before finishing, it taught me a lot of lessons about "working under constraints", re-tooling existing assets, managing better workflows, etc.
In a sense, I was glad that the game finished during the time of my life that it did.
If it were ten years prior...I don't think I would have had the necessary competence or maturity to get it done. It was a difficult task to maintain the proper momentum for THAT long of a dev cycle.
After releasing it, the next 12 months went nicely too. In 2025, we released the first free DLC; titled Lost Songs of Archon. Essentially, it's a brand new region added to the existing overworld map, seamlessly merged into the landscapes. In total, it added about 2-5 hours of new gameplay. All of the DLC completely optional--and thus it has very little bearing on the main story. Yet, it did feature some considerably more challenging bosses!
There is one more DLC I hope to add eventually, and a planned Director's Cut, which significantly expands the ending. However, I'll comment more on those at a future date.
Per suggestion by the admins, I decided to start a fresh game page for the commercial finished version. Please feel free to re-subscribe there if you're still interested in following future updates, or with any questions or comments related to the Steam release.
This old game page will be converted to an Archived version. The screenshots, reviews, comments, and other features of this old page no longer reflect the finished product, so it could lead to some significant confusion.
So I ask that all comments or questions, besides this blog update, be kept to the new page.
Again, for anyone reading this, thanks for the many years of support. Words can't do it enough justice. BR allowed me to pursue a life closer to being a full-time game dev, and I'm endlessly grateful for that. (-‿◦☀)

There is progress? Wow, nice. I played the demo ages ago and liked it. One of the few games I have subscribed to here.

I actually received a recent demo for this game from Blindmind himself and played throughout it and I have to say. The game is extremely immersive and impressive with what it really aims for.
There is the atmosphere, the scenery, even the great usage of subtle sounds effects to really set the mood in. The game accomplishes a great amount of work going into the story and how it continues to rollout through the rest of the game.
This is truly one of rpg maker 2003's finest crafted games! :D

Well, the description of the game and the art look really nice so if you are still offering your latest beta demo then I certainly would like to take a look :)
This is random but... but can you change the title font to not bleeding cowboys? it's a super duper overused and tacky font that does this otherwise pretty-looking game zero justice. if you want a swash font, might recommend the zapfino font? it's admittedly somewhat common but nowhere near as....urrrgh as bleeding cowboys.

Thanks for the feedback Kalled.
Yeah, some "Design choices" I made as an early twenty-something have come to haunt me. XD The font will definitely be replaced...I just haven't found a great substitute yet.

Thanks! I try not to offer up official release dates at this point (..XD), but you can expect Act 1 before this year is over. It will be a full, self-contained game.

I was about to say, I'd give this a try. Unfortunately there was no download yet, so guess I have to wait a little longer ^^
