Companion of darkness

Here's hoping for more story for Emma and Clara... More Noel is always welcome too though.

Hey I was wondering, I usually go with the 'name your price' on itch.io (I always thought they take less of a cut) but is Patreon a better option? I assume I would get more bang for my buck but I sometimes I forget that I am subbed to someone... Not that that is a bad thing for the dev lol

awesome game dude. absolutely loved the storyline and world-building, make it seem like an anime and not avn lol. wish you the best fr

can anyone tell me if the new chapter available?

Wow. This storyline and flow is genuinely one of the best I've seen. I've never been so interested to keep going in a long while. I wish the creator well and success in many more to come

This is genuinely the best vn I've played

This is a minor thing, but how exactly is Nael supposed to be pronounced? Like Neil or more as it's spelled like Nah-eel? Or something else?

ngl the end of act 1 made cyberpunk look like a happy game

The fact i just finished ch.9 cant wait

when is it f2p on itch?

so i downloaded the game, and extracted it, but it wont run? whenever i tell my pc to open it, it doesnt open. any idea as to whats wrong?

But how do you put update to it I don't want to lose my Game saves

Can't wait for chapter 10 just finished the game

Yoo Berkili4 Big fun of your beautiful game,the story is very nice btw how long does chapter 10 will be released (FREE)

‎

Is this honey select? 

Berkili4, would love to use this one... have you thought about getting your game into Microsoft's list of known publishers?  My Microsoft Defender SmartScreen blocks it since it cannot validate it is a safe publisher.

Do you have any other 3rd party verifiers to confirm the safety of the game/app?  -- If so, that would be worth publishing in your doc to the community.

Aw man. I haven't played since Chapter 7 and was debating if I should wait for 10 to release before I hopped back into things cause I knew I'd want more. Things just keep getting more and more interesting! So much is cooking all at once!

Lots of mixed feelings on Claire, though. I mean, I get it, but.. Man. I don't mean it as a complaint or anything, just wasn't an angle I was expecting, know what I mean?

Can't wait to see more! Hope everything goes by smoothly for you!

Probably already fixed but a couple minor issues I noticed were:

During the scene in the diner with Blake. At one point MC says "Blaire don't you want to thank her as well?" instead of Blake.

While MC is talking to Arsa during the negotiation she says "Clarice" instead of Claire. Unsure if just a typo, or if that's her actual name and Claire is just a nickname, or if Arsa is just being Arsa. Thought it worth mentioning just incase

Yo dawg, when do you think the update like the full package will be out. I really like this game due to its story so I'm curious

是否支持中国兄弟

Just want to say that this is one of my favorite games, keep up the good work :)

one more question,  if that's okay.  will this come to steam?

👍🏻

will there be pregnancy/impregnation?

When Uncontrollable Evil started playing as Rule B showed up in the Az fight I was standing up out of my seat, flabbergasted.

11/10 Genuine Peak Game

Can't wait for Chapter 10! :)

Can we go for multiple girl or are we locked with a single one after telling tgem you love them?

It's been a year without update 

(☞ ͡ ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡ ͡°)☞        ヽ(`д´；)/

How long until chapter 10 is finished

Greetings & Happy New Year Everyone!

To add my two cents, decent graphics - nice music - immersive animations - exciting lore and outstanding storytelling. In fact, the game's lewd nature becomes a triviality in light of what else it has to offer.

Above all the story is superb with characters that are recognizable, but don’t lose themselves in one-dimensionality and are also influenced and shaped by their environment. Even though the narrative style is rather authorial, one is still surprised by the characters and their development.

Sophisticated animations and a rich soundscape provoke the impression of being absorbed in this surreal madness. The chosen musical accompaniment is very appealing and hits particularly hard in sentimental and dramatic moments.

Anything there is to complain about? Actually, just whining at a high level. Things like the player's degree of freedom – which usually is not a focus of visual novels anyway. Visual subtleties such as a disproportionately high level of metrosexual vibes in men, but this may also be influenced by egine or graphic limitations, the designer's cultural background or maybe they just watch too much Animes ^^

Since I couldn't find any credits, I assume it's a one-person endeavor, which makes the result even more impressive.

Great Work, Berkili4! May the darkness be like a shadow by your side wherever you are, and not the abyss that opens depths not asked for.

Is there something wrong on Android version? It suddenly stops downloading at 1.69gb..and says Download failed? I tried several times but it's always the same..any tips somehow? I really want to try this one.

Game is one of the best when it  comes  to plot  factions and political intrigue. Everyone fights for their own self  interest. It reminds me of the fate series. A Top 5 contender.

Damn, I hate this game maaaaaaannnnnnn..... I figured I would just check it out since I was bored. Like 9 hours later still playing this crap because I got sucked in to the story. So thanks for ruining my sleep for the night.  Other than that Berk it's a very good story. I love it. Easily top 5 so far.

Oh no actually there is one thing though. I don't know why but like a lot of the people that are supposed to be men look like women, especially the general. Sorry 

I want to congratulate the author for the story and characters. I was starting to read the VN and at the beginning i was like "meh"... lets see how bad it turns... and then it started getting better and better. Why the meh, you would say? at the beginning of the novel the graphics are so bad that I almost ran away. Anyway... I like what you have done with the game. I  will gladly support you in the near future.

A little bug -detail I found was the options when you will get a NFSW scene, it always says MC x some1. That would be a nice idea to remove (to allow you to get a little more of surprises). I know you are giving a heads up of "you are about to see some porn, save now or something" but I dont know.

Another good idea I can give you is to put penetration and x'ing sounds, moans also. DO NOT add voices (not only is too expensive but f's the game, ok?), and something very exciting I have seen in lots of VNs is the exact moment of the pentration that is very nice to see.

I hope your game continues to grow and you keep making it great.

Damn I'm back and it's still fucking chapter 9 goddamit

Discord link is opening in webpage and not app

I have to say, i usually don't enjoy VN that much as i prefer the freedom of sandbox-like games. But companion of darkness got me actually hooked like no other game i downloaded in the past few years from itch.io! For 3 evenings i basically played nothing else even tho i have plenty of games in my backlog. Really enjoyed the story, characters and scenes. Straight 10/10!

Before starting, it says that this could harm your device. No other game has had this problem.

第四位原始人是本作中最可爱的黑暗伙伴，希望在后续的剧情中能够了解更多关于她的故事。

Good game. 

At first it reminded me of Eternum and in general (up to chapter 9) I can say that it is not inferior to it.

Among pros:

- Interesting and beautiful female character models.

- Quite unusual and interesting plot.

- Quite good animations, allowing you to immerse yourself in what is happening even better.

Among cons, which themselves catch my attention:

- A lot of the male faces are very similar to the MC face.

SPOILERS BELOW

- For me there were not a few questions about the plot, here are a few of the main ones that I remember and would like to know the answer to:

Why did we leave Clara? We literally left her after we helped her get out of the house and confessed our love to her (optitianally). I understand Noel is our priority, but even so it seemed strange to me.

Why didn't we ask our brother on the roof why he was separated from Nael? Didn't we have questions: Why? What does this mean for him? What are they going to do next?

To summarise, it was not uncommon for me to have disagreements with the actions of the Protagonist. Sometimes his actions raised questions for me, (even for example in chapter 9 when he couldn't contact anyone, why wasn't it a priority to return and check what was going on?).

Perhaps, I missed something somewhere, then please forgive me and ignore it.

In general, the game is interesting and despite the above, will 100% wait for the rest of the game with big interest how everything will end.

Good luck with the development!

Played this when it was just up to chapter 6, playing it now, and it's still fucking phenomenal. Kudos to the dev(s), it's definitely in my top 5 AVNs and probably top 3!

The ONE thing that nags me as someone with many nonstandard piercings and plans with my piercer to get more, is Amy's eyebrow piercing. I genuinely cannot figure out how that is supposed to work, and I can't imagine that there's a reputable piercer that would do it for me if I asked for it. Almost 100% of eyebrow piercings are vertical bars or curved vertical bars, since a stud or dermal in the area would be nearly impossible to heal. Amy's stud/dermal is extremely unrealistic since it sits mostly right on the eyebrow follicle area, and areas with hair follicles have very high cell replication which makes healing complex piercings very complicated. I've seen plenty of inner brow piercings so the location isn't a problem, but no piercer I know would agree to a dermal in that area (which is what that piercing is without a doubt, given that it's a plain stud perpendicular to the plane of the skin) ESPECIALLY on the hardest part of the brow to pierce.

I genuinely think that it's on-brand for Amy to get an inner brow piercing even though it's more "extreme" than an outer brow, but a vertical or curved vertical bar would be FAAAAAAR more realistic for the specific spot her brow piercing is in.  Brow dermals are practically non-existent due to the near-impossibility to heal a dermal along major follicle areas.

 My advice is that simply adding a small stud shape above the brow and making it and the original piercing smaller would look enough like a regular eyebrow bar to pass for a realistic piercing. The location is on the "abnormal" side but very far from unrealistic, so with that slight adjustment it will make much more sense

I've had quite a resurgence when it comes to AVNs this year, as before this spring I hadn't really found any new ones that I liked since September 2021 when v0.1 of of Eternum was released. I just kinda stopped looking. But this year, I got back into it and found a couple that even challenged for my top 10.

But to likely end the year with the best one... Well, let's just say I didn't expect much based on the intro! But I went from "I was wrong, this is actually pretty good" to eventually realizing that this game doesn't just challenge for top 10, it challenges for top 3!
