I have a very important question.
I'd really appreciate it if someone who knows the answer could help.
I really liked this game—its atmosphere, its story, its characters.
It completely drew me in.
But obviously, the story is far from over, and I regret starting it before it's finished.
The development of this game started back in 2020, and only its first phase was completed in 2022.
And now, in 2025, I can say it probably hasn’t even reached the halfway point.
So here’s my main question:
When do you think the full game will be completed, so I can experience it all without worrying?
Is there any estimated release date for the final version?

There is no such thing as dates, but it is said that it will consist of 16-20 chapters.

It’s a lot closer to the finish than you might think.

ORS is really good in terms of story and character development but I must say the reason for the respective breakup of the two MCs is way too cliche. In Artemis for example the breakup and trauma that follows is way more creative and original.

It is still respectively a valid reason for a breakup no? Especially since they've gone through the same song and dance not that long ago.

What do you mean? There's like 3-4 different ways for Lena/Ian to break up, at different stages of their relationship.

* Lena getting mad at Ian because he fights with Robert against her wishes
* Ian not liking Lena doing Stalkfap and confronting her like an incel due to lack of wits
* Ian finding out Lena has cheated on him and calling it quits
* Lena/Ian keeping it casual and eventually dissolving the arrangement due to never developing deeper interest

or do you mean their break ups with Axel and Gillian over their respective cheating? That's fairly standard yes, but it also provides them with something they have in common and can initially bond over. Also, i think the game goes quite beyond just a cliche with a number of possible variants (and player's freedom) how those initial breakups affect other relationships, as well as the ones the protagonists have with their exes. Lena/Axel can go like 4 different ways, e.g. -- blocking Axel entirely, falling under his spell and never getting out, fighting his pull early but eventually losing that fight, or falling early but then finding resolve to put end to it. And the game is quite far from done, yet.

EK said she wants to wrap it up with 16 chapters at her current pace 2 yrs.

I'm saying that because I recently played the other game called Artemis, and the protagonist is undergoing a similar phase to Ian's and Lena's, namely having trust issue post breakup (although in Artemis the situation is whole another level f up). I just feel like having trauma due to ur partner cheating on u is rather cliche and in Artemis at least it's more creative and original.

It's not a dig at ORS but just how I feel. I mean cheating is a main theme in this game, both Ian and Lena got cheated on by default, and in game there are sooooo many options to cheat but some are somehow considered ok or acceptable. So I guess cheating is just a focal point in ORS.

I mean, dealing with possibilities to cheat (and how you choose to deal with them) is a basic part of any relationship, so it's not so much a focal point as a normal element of what's ultimately a slice of life story. Now some games (of harem variety) skip that altogether to protect player's ego/feelings, while some other (of NTR variety) do make it a focal point, sometimes to the point of it being unavoidable, but in ORS this is more just part of the whole narrative package that you can play with to craft "your" version of the story.

But what I like about ORS is the portrayal of male friends around a male mc. In many other games it's as if they are non-existent, just the mc and a harem of girls, occasionally with a dumb wingman like Derek in BaD.
