Apostle

What Apostle is

Apostle is a single-player role-playing and adventure game for Windows, listed on GOG under the company names kamichichi and Kagura Games, with a 2019 date on its page. It is a classic-style RPG set in a near-futuristic world, with an engaging plot as the store words it, side quests and special character events, and it carries an adult rating: GOG puts it behind an 18+ confirmation and tags it for sexual content and nudity. It is a paid game sold as a one-time purchase, and the edition on GOG is a censored one, which matters for anyone expecting the full adult content.

How it plays

The premise comes straight from the store description. In 2015 the moon turns the color of blood and monsters begin to appear, killing and devouring people. They become known as the Magna. As a last resort, humans use nuclear weapons against them, and that day is remembered as humanity's Day of Judgement. 50 years pass with no sign of the Magna, the fear fades into a distant memory, and the page says that veil of peace is about to end. That is where the player's story starts.

The store page lists the game's features as short bullets. It promises a classic RPG experience, exploration of a near-futuristic world, an engaging plot, a skill learning system, side quests and special character events. Taken together, those bullets describe a single-player RPG built around exploring its world, taking side quests, learning skills and following a plot, with the character events as a separate feature. The special character events are the part of the game tied to its cast. The store description does not describe the battle system beyond calling the experience a classic RPG one with a skill learning system.

The page lists English and Simplified Chinese, each with audio and text, and notes cloud saves, controller support and single-player as features.

Content and themes

The page tags the game with Adventure, Role-playing, Mature, Sexual Content and Nudity. It carries an NSFW label and a warning that it may contain content not appropriate for all ages or for viewing at work. The store files it under role-playing and adventure first, with the adult tags alongside, so the listing presents an RPG that carries adult content.

The science fiction side is built into the setting. The store description sets the story in a near-futuristic world, 50 years after a nuclear strike against monsters, so the tone is post-conflict adventure with a dark backstory rather than a space opera. The adventure side is the quest structure: side quests and a plot that the page calls engaging. The store describes the cast through the special character events rather than listing a roster.

GOG states plainly that buying the game there gets a censored version. For more information about the game's content, the store points readers to the publisher's website, Kagura Games. An add-on called Apostle UNRATED has its own GOG page, and that page says the unrated DLC brings additional adult content to the game. It needs the base game to run, and it repeats the base game's premise and feature list. The add-on's page lists the same Windows requirements, the same 2 languages and the same cloud save and controller support as the base game.

Platforms and where to get it

Apostle is officially supported on Windows, and the page lists Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 only. The GOG page lists minimum requirements of an Intel Core2 Duo or better, 4 GB of RAM, a DirectX 9 or OpenGL 4.1 capable graphics card, 2 GB of free storage and a display of 1280x768 or better. It also warns that lag may occur when loading menus or maps and suggests closing other programs before running the game. The recommended set asks for a 2+ GHz processor with the same memory, storage and display figures. It also states that OpenGL ES 2.0 hardware driver support is required for WebGL acceleration, naming AMD Catalyst 10.9 and nVidia 358.50, and both lists name DirectX 9.0.

Windows is the only system the page lists. The game is single-player and offline: GOG says its games have no DRM and can be played without an internet connection, and that a fully offline installer can be downloaded, so GOG Galaxy, which syncs achievements and cloud saves, is optional. The store's FAQ adds that some bonus content may need an internet connection to download. GOG also states full refunds for up to 30 days. The page also links a forum for the game and names Kagura Games as the place for further content details.

Price and model

Apostle is paid and sold per copy. The page describes no subscription and no in-game currency. The GOG page shows the price in the buyer's selected currency, and it offers CHF, EUR and USD as display currencies in its settings.

The Apostle UNRATED add-on has its own GOG page, separate from the base game, and in October 2026 that page marks the add-on as free.

Development state

In October 2026 the GOG page's game details give a release date of November 8, 2019, and the product details carry the year 2019 beside kamichichi's name. The page does not state a version number, an update date or a planned content roadmap. The page carries no early-access label and no development notes. It lists the unrated DLC as the only extra content for the game, and it names no planned updates.

Who it suits

Apostle suits a player who wants a story-led single-player RPG for a Windows PC, with side quests and character events, and who is happy to pay once and keep an offline, DRM-free copy. It also suits someone who wants an RPG that the store files under role-playing and adventure first, with the adult tags alongside.

There are limits. The GOG edition is censored, and the fuller adult content sits in a separate unrated add-on that the page does not describe in detail. It runs on Windows only and has English and Simplified Chinese as its languages. In October 2026 the store's own rating is 3.9 out of 5 from 7 ratings, and the page names no developer plans beyond the add-on. Anyone who wants an adults-first experience, rather than an RPG with adult scenes, should read the content notes above first.
