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.

Yeahhh I dunno. I've kind of moved on from the scene for the time being, sad to say. I have a version of the game that's been worked on since I last put something out, but I'm not sure when I'll have enough free time available to finalize it. I'll try to keep you posted. 8[
That's sad to hear. Yeah, heard you moved on from this scene. It just looks really beautiful. Hope it sees the light someday!

And am glad to hear that you have restarted the production.

I can vaguely recall rushing home from high school to open up the editor and brainstorm new concepts...


lol rpgmaker
i have played the demo and its awesome ... althought the intro was not so encouraging at first but man i got to say this a very well made game the graphics and the story going 4.5/5 :D
But i got to ask does this game got along road to go until its released ?
Congratulations,
On your successful KickStarter :).
Hm... the title reminds me the Bioshock series. The character named Aiden reminds me Beyond Two Souls. The graphics is very well. It worths a try if not more.
Wai- Wait... Is it really have the number 8? I-I mean in the url! http://rpgmaker.net/games/8 It's not fair! That's a beautiful number...
Yeah. ;p It was one of the first projects posted on this website. The title was announced even before Bioshock came out, if you can believe it. Thank you for your comment though Zach! ~^-^~
