Brandon Patch Download & Instructions

• Patch file last updated: Feb 11, 2024

• FULL game version required. Brandon's route is not available on the demo.

• You need version 1.1.0 or higher. Earlier builds will crash.

• You must install the patch manually. This route is not available on ANY store.

Brandon's route is a free external patch to the base game 'Obsession'.  

This route is a backstory of Monika's abusive childhood. The majority of this content centers around child abuse, child sexual abuse, and text-only sexual content between teenagers. This isn't for shock value or fun, it is significant to the overall story narrative of the complicated relationship between Brandon & Monika and how it develops as they mature into adulthood.

Julian & Quinn make a brief appearance each, but are not any significant part of this route.

This kind of content violates a number of store content policies. This is why it is not included in the base retail release.

If this sort of content isn't for you, that's okay! Brandon's route is completely optional content. You can skip it entirely.

You can download the file from any of the following links. Troubleshooting tips below.

Troubleshooting:

Please don't post replies / twitter / Itch comments to get support if these steps don't work. Email me with the data requested below. I need to speak to you directly to get issues resolved. 

Plus, my only response to you will be linking you this post and then telling you to email me. The patch works for everyone else, so I need to figure out what is uniquely wrong with your situation to help you.

99% of the reports I get about the patch working are resolved with the following:

• 1. The patch will not work in the demo version. You must buy the game.

• 2. Brandon's route (like all other routes) is only available after you've played (any) 1 of Sebastian's endings. It will be locked until then.

• 3. Do NOT modify, run, open, or rename the patch/DLC file (or ANY .rpa, .rpy, .rpyc file). It is not an application, executable, or installer. It is a data file only the game can use and it must be in the correct location for the game to know it exists.

• 4. You must have the latest version of the main game. (V1.1.0 is latest as of March 14, 2024). I will ask to see the build version and my first response will be to tell you to update the game.

• 5. You must have the latest version of the patch / dlc file, too. Obtained from links above.

• 6. Ensure you moved the file into the folder NAMED "game" inside the Particles of Reality directory. 

There are many reasons a game/patch update will make the latest version of one incompatible with another version of the other. Just because it worked with the last version does NOT mean it will work with the new one. I guarantee NO backwards compatibility.

If these steps don't resolve your issue, email me WITH the info listed below, otherwise I will literally link you this page to check for the steps above and tell you to send me this information below. 

Email me at ArewarGames@gmail.com with the following:

• Are you mac or windows?

• Are you using Itch / Steam?

• (If using Itch) Are you using the Itch desktop client or the website? (The client has caused issues unfortunately.)

• And the following screenshots:

• - Your "game" folder that includes the patch

• - The in-game settings screen that shows the build number

• - A screenshot of Brandon's tab (which I know will probably say the route isn't available if it's broken but send it anyway)
