Jan 2, 2025Beloved Rapture is a memorable indie gaming experience that admirably captures the feel of classic traditional RPGs throughout its twenty-plus hour playtime. I especially enjoy the story’s focus on Aiden and Johan’s evolving bond and appreciate the underlying message of love and perseverance. The rushed components near the end lessen the impact the narrative might’ve otherwise had, but I still enjoyed playing Beloved Rapture by the time the credits rolled. Those desiring a traditional RPG homage should consider giving Beloved Rapture a try for themselves.

Dec 2, 2024Beloved Rapture is advertised as a JRPG with existentialist and LGBTQ+ themes, and this is certainly the best thing it offers. However, outside of those circles there is also a lot of value in the proposal, especially in the artistic department, in the main relationship of its protagonists, and in how it plays with nostalgia to attack adult themes without any holds barred. Where it fails is in the ending. It is an experience that goes from more to less and that is tremendously didactic from a narrative point of view. Sometimes this innocence and ambition is more attractive, even if it fails, because it seems more authentic and personal.
