Before you take the oath

A romantasy you play together. You each choose a character, roll the bone die across a board of three realms (the Moonlit Court, the Shadow Wood and the Obsidian Keep), and draw cards written for who you chose to be. The story bends around your choices on the way to the Bonding Altar.

430+ living cards, nine pairings, 21+ story endings, and a Story Mode tale for every pairing.

A tale written for your pairing, played from the first page to the last, with chapters that open as you cross each realm. There are nine, one for every pairing. If you'd rather a different night every night, take the Open Road and let the cards decide.

Two consenting partners, both 18 or older, who love romantasy and dark romance. The roles are written today for him and her. Sweet or wicked, you choose.

Heat 5 of 5, and you set the pace. It starts as a slow burn at the Moonlit Court and builds realm by realm. The boldest tier, Beyond the Veil, is off unless you both turn it on. It is all words, never pictures of people. See the content notes for the full picture.

The boldest cards in the deck. They stay off by default. To deal them, you both switch them on, and each of you chooses, alone, what you welcome. Nothing else is dealt.

No. Oathclaimed is played on one device that you pass between you. With secret draws on, each card is dealt face down to the one who rolled, so your partner only learns what it says when you play it.

A phone, tablet or laptop with a recent browser, . Some cards suggest simple optional extras, and every one of them can be refused.

Always. Any card can be refused for the small in-game price printed on it. Say "Hold" for ten slow breaths of hands off. Say your safeword and everything stops, with no price and no questions.

Yes, once it is unlocked on a device. The game keeps what it needs on that device, so a weak connection won't interrupt your night.

Yes. The intro trial is a short, free taste of the Moonlit Court: a small hand of its cards, one pairing (the Savior and the Devoted) and no Story Mode. It ends at the gate to the Shadow Wood. It is enough to get a feel for how a night plays, and it is not the full game.

Unlocking opens the whole Court with every role and pairing, the Shadow Wood, the Obsidian Keep, the Altar and all nine Story Mode tales.

$24 at the founders price, then $29. One payment, no subscription. Every update to the core game is included. New tales may arrive later as their own separate one-time unlocks, and nothing is ever added without your say.

No. The endings are how the story can close at the Altar, plus the last page of each Story Mode tale. The nights themselves never repeat: about 16 cards are dealt in a night from more than 200 that fit your pairing, and the shuffle remembers what you have drawn, so the ways a night can unfold run into the billions.

No. You unlock Oathclaimed once. Nothing renews and you will never be charged again without a new unlock you choose.

A personal license to play Oathclaimed, a digital game, in your household. You don't receive a copy or a physical item. The terms and license explain what that means.

An iPhone app is coming soon. Until then, Oathclaimed plays in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know when there is news.

Follow the steps in your receipt email, or write to us with the email you used at checkout.

The exact wording for web unlocks is shown at checkout and in your receipt email. You'll also get a receipt email from Oathclaimed with the amount.

The free intro trial lets you get a feel for Oathclaimed before you unlock it. Because of that, web unlocks are final. We always refund a duplicate charge, a charge you didn't make, an unlock that never reached you, or a game that won't run on your device when we can't fix it. See the refund policy.

You enter your card details only on our payment processor's secure, encrypted payment page. We never see or store your card number.

Oathclaimed is for players 18 or older, so we check before you pay. We keep only the answer that you are of age, never your date of birth.

Nothing. Your roles, pairings, cards, safeword and pact stay on your device and are never sent to us. We keep only what we need to sell and support the game: your email, your order and your license. See the privacy policy.

Your receipt email names Oathclaimed and your card statement shows the wording above. We don't post anything, we don't use advertising trackers, and we never sell or share your email.
