Chapter 17 "The Feast of Vaelian" has been released to the public!

Edit: Updated to v0.18.1.1 to fix a softlock. If you encountered this in the first explore section, you should be able to fix it by reloading from the rift.

  • Noblesse Oblige v0.18.1.0 Patch Notes (4-17-2026)

  • Four new party members divided across routes!
  • Significant new section of the story!
  • Major religious event!
  • Very significant new combat section
  • Seven new achievements for those playing on Steam!
  • Two (unfinished) intimate scenes for those with the patch! (These currently only have a SFW version; the full version, along with the ability to view old scenes, will likely be added in v0.19)
