- (CN BUILD) Version 6 Patch Fixes - 27 March 2026
NOTE: this patch update ONLY applies to the Chinese build of the game. No bugs here are present in the English build, and so no update has been pushed for that build. Change Log:NPCs that mention time are now functioning properly. Previously, since the system’s time checks used English variables but were executed in a Chinese environment, this triggered error messages. Now, they should be able to correctly check the English variables again, meaning they will display the time correctly.Any sections that use the “Pause” function for timing (such as fishing) are now working properly. Previously, the game interpreter was unable to parse pause durations with decimal points because the “.” symbol was replaced with “。” during translation, causing errors. This feature should now function correctly without any issues.Other interactive areas that caused errors have been fixed. This was primarily…
- oath - chinese language support! - 9 March 2026
Thank you for all the recent support! There's been an uptick in players from China recently, and multiple requests for a properly localised version to be made.And so....Simplified Chinese is now available!As an English solo dev, I've had to resort to machine translation for this edition - I know it's not the best and will probably have a bunch of errors as well as parts of my story which are incorrectly interpreted. However, I wanted to get across something more accessible then using Google Lens or hard to use modding tools for the growing audience in China, so I hope this new build suffices!\A new version has just been pushed live as well - this update fixes some leftover English that was missed in the translation, as well as translates the video portions of the game! I went back and edited each of the 3 main video sections so that they also include localized text. Some additional imag…
- oath 4.19 [base game] - 6 January 2026
ChangelogHappy new years! This update goes back and reworks the base game of oath, so that QoL features added in the free DLC are also present in the base build as well, when you don't have the DLC installed! Story Unlock Revamp v2A lot of players don't find the majority of the games content - with them stopping once they reach the end of the 'story', and not investigating further to unlock the bulk of the actual games content....Originally, the unlock for this was very obscure, with lots of digging around needed to find - this was when this content was still relatively small and seen as a bonus and not the bulk of the game. With the prior update to the base game, this was changed so that if you try play the story again, it now unlocks!However, I've seen that even this didn't really work... a lot of players would just go "oh well, that's it!" - not helped by the button being named "home…
- "emerald" is out now + oath graphical update! - 3 November 2025
New game - emerald!As mentioned in the 1 year anniversary post, I've been working on a brand new game using the same underlying base as oath - a free, shorter experience called 'emerald' that ties into the song and music video of the same name by myself and maji*! And... it's out now! Go check it out! It's a free game so it's a bit smaller than oath is, especially now after all the updates and expansion, but it should still take you around 2-3 hours to see everything the game has to offer.emerald is also available entirely in Japanese too! The translation is machine-done, so there's totally going to be parts that are misconstrued or even maybe nonsensical (I really hope not though!!) but it's generally a test at adding a completely localised version of a game build, and I hope it lets more people enjoy the game! If you enjoyed oath and are looking for something new, give it a play! I ho…

- Happy 1 year anniversary! - 3 September 2025
It's been 1 year since oath's release!One year back when I released the EP / game, I didn't imagine it to become the size it now is, or resonate with so many people - over the months after release I ended up adding 3 substantial major updates to the main game, then basically adding a sequel through the free DLC to tie into my album. Over the last year my game, which I thought might at most get 20, 30 people picking it up, has had over 1500 sales and lots of love from both people I know and people just stumbling across the game. If you've given it a chance, whether you've played 15 minutes or 20 hours, thank you for playing my game.A 40% discount for this week!In celebration, the game's 40% off for the next week in case you or anyone you know hasn't yet given it a go - the same discount the game had on release 1 year back! It should be live soon from this announcement - starting ~ Sept.…
- oath: there is a you that remains - 18 June 2025
oath: there is a you that remainsOn the 27th of June, my brand new album, there is a you that remains is releasing! It's a 9 track long project with some of my best work, that I hope you enjoy! And alongside that, a companion work, a free DLC expansion will be releasing for oath!With my previous project, my EP called oath, I released this video game alongside it - originally meant to just be a bespoke music player for the EP, it evolved into a complete game - and in the following months leading to December of last year, I kept expanding on the game until it just got bigger and bigger....The base game and story of oath is complete - playing through the story mode + the 'home' mode to completion is the narrative and story I wanted to tell with the project. Paired with the EP itself, the 3 or so endings, secrets and world to discover in oath are done and all there for you to find!Since the…

- oath 4.18 - 13 April 2025
Changelog The last foreseeable update to the game, making the entire thing more accessible to players. Story Unlock Revamp Up until this update, to unlock the bulk of the game, you'd need to find the secret story ending by exploring in Act II. This locked a lot of players away from a good chunk of content - and while intentional, after some thought I've made it more accessible for all to experience the full length of the game. Your first playthrough of the Story Mode is completely the same - you're able to unlock the secret ending on your first playthrough still, and you'll be alerted if you missed it as well like usual! Restarting the story for a second time will be the same up until Act II - where instead of continuing on as usual, you'll instead unlock the new content and quit to the menu. Restarting the story mode after this will once again play as usual! Other QoL Changes The major…
