Beloved Rapture

Beloved Rapture is a retro-style RPG about Johan, an introverted young man from the countryside who is drawn into a conflict with the Aeons, an enigmatic, cultish militia approaching his isolated home on Veritas Mountain. As the threat disrupts his once-idyllic life, Johan must decide what role he will play in the escalating conflict. His companions are Aiden, the mysterious son of an exiled warrior who has trained in the mystic arts since childhood, and Crysta, a runaway noblewoman determined to end the war before it reaches her family. Johan’s coming-of-age story explores family trauma, his passions and sensuality, and his inner demons.

Explore and grow

You guide six playable characters, each with their own skills and stats. As you explore, you earn new gear and assign bonus points when characters level up. The story moves between linear and open-ended sections, and you can run, swim, climb or fly a dragon through its pixel landscapes. Random encounters and forced grinding are absent.

You can also take on job quests, hunt Runes, battle in the colosseum or gamble gold at the bazaar. Optional bosses provide additional challenges.

Combat and difficulty

Battles use a turn-based system, with a choice between Active Mode, where enemies attack in real time, and Wait Mode, where time pauses while you decide what to do. Choose Classic or Story mode to vary the difficulty.

Music

The soundtrack is inspired by SNES and 16-bit music.
