Companion of darkness
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
3years after a tragic incident, you return to your hometown. Just before you reach your destination, you watch as two supernatural forces pit their strength against each other in a fight to the death.
It seems that you have been discovered and effortlessly overpowered, but instead of dying you wake up in your bed as if nothing had happened.
Was it all a dream?
Everyday life goes on whether you like it to or not. Not only do you feel like a stranger in your hometown, more and more unexplainable events are happening around you.
When the ones you care for are threatened, you must decide which boundaries you are willing to cross. And, if it is worth to give up humanity.

Chapter 10 adds
Joke's on me, Chapter 10 is even bigger than Chapter 9. It also marks the beginning of Season 2.
Here’s a simple guide to getting Chapter 10 running:
Finish Chapters 1–9 until you see the credits. (Why download Chapter 10 if you haven’t finished Chapter 9 anyway?)
Download Chapter 10 and press "New Game."
Disclaimer 1: APK users should install Chapter 10 over Chapters 1–9 (Updating it).
Disclaimer 2: Mods can interfere with save transfers. If you encounter issues, ask the mod creator for help—I don’t know what mods do to my code. Since I haven’t created any of them, use mods at your own risk.
Since it's essentially a new game, if you have any issues transferring save data from Season 1 to Season 2, join the Discord server: you'll find help there.

Is season 1 and 2 a separate app on Android? Because after I download the season 1 I also download the season 2 in which deleted the season 1, making the 1.9gb on storage to 784mb on the app data.
You play season1 first, once you did that, you update season 1 with the season 2 app. This way your decisions get carried over. You can't have both versions installed.
A small issue with chapter 10 so far, the "back" button is greyed out and the mouse roll back doesn't work. I can't roll back the text at all. I can't find the option to enable/disable this in the pref menu.
Yeah it seems to be a bug, i will look into it once chapter 11 is done.
Amazing game. I just finished C9 and I'm about to start C10. You are a master of your craft Berkili4. Cheers.
Happy to hear that you like it.
Greetings to the Author of this masterpiece, I understand that I am asking too much, but could you add a Russian translation?
I'm sorry I don't speak Russian, so a Russian translation will not be possible on my part
Hi, why it it's says when I try to download the Season 2 "Update" instead of Install or Am I wrong?
-Android User
you can safely update when you have seen that the game has exported the save data
Can you guide me how to do that. I mean after chapter 9 ends theres some export screen comes after that download/update game? Or something like that?
Yeah on my discord-server there is a help channel, either me or some of the mods will happly guide you through the upgrade process. Itch.io comment section is not the best place to have conversations
Just finished playing through all the chapters, and now I'm sad because no chapter 11 yet. Feels bad, man.
I am working on it :D
I love your AVN Berkili. I really want to create a manga adaptation with this masterpiece! I was hooked by it's story. Its like a rollercoaster ride making me laugh, excited, thrilled, sad, its so freaking good! Im inlove with the characters, designs and their personality! its firee! I really hope you'd give me the greenlight to make a manga adaptation for this one, and the credit is all yours since you're the creator of the masterpiece! shuala.
Sure you can make a fan adaptation.
Happy to hear that you like it.
I wanna see the manga adaptation :o
Good
Good
Good
I wanna ask something. I've played this game before chapter 10 released and I've the save files of those chapters. But now I'm confused how to use those save files in game? It's showing error.
Welp Condolence Comrade
What?
Sorry I don't understand, could you please explain yourself?
I'm saying I've saved files of chapter 1-9 now that chapter 10 is here can i direct download chapter 10 and use those saved files? I don't wanna start again from chapter 1-9 then download chapter 10 and play that. So is it possible for me to use those saved files of chapter 1-9 to start chapter 10 from the ending of chapter 9??
Yes it is, if you played the newest version of chapter 1-9, did you see save stats got exported at the end of chapter 9?
Yes but after then when i downloaded ch 10 and opened it, the game gave me file errors when I'm loading the game form the save.
I had the same issue, I just hit ignore and the game moved on with no problem.
Ive played a lots of games here, and i seriously mean many (professional gooner btw) But this masterpiece here, gawd damnn i only made an account just to comment ts here. This games storyline is suoer interesting and i like the fact you almost always get chance to choose if you want a sex scene. The game isnt only about sex, there was plot twists, the story was best i have played. And the biggest factor, the charachter development was SO good. Im so happy i found this hidden gem here. Easily the best game here and prolly among the best games i have ever played (including rdr1+2, gows, eldenring) I aint joking, i enjoyed the gane so much. If you are reading this i just wanna say, give this game a chance, holy that shi was great. I want to thank the dev/devs personally shii😭
Happy to hear that you like my little game :D
Quá suất sắc
我想问作者，这游戏有中文翻译吗？
官方没有，你只能找汉化的，比如把自动翻译成汽车之类的
nothing from me.
I hope you can join Chinese, and don't underestimate the consumption power of China's old color embryo.
there is small bug on season 2 (at least i assume it is). The second sex scene was unlocked right after i started a "new game".
I'm realy enjoying the game by the way, thanks for the hard work
Yeah it's a known bug, i will fix it someday.
think i should report this，dont know is bug or not.color is strange
its after i choose not to have the history class.
It is not a bug, color is just strange. Old chapter you know.
I'm stuck at chapter 8, what do I do?
What do you mean you are stuck? Didn't know that was even possible.
Is it the ones where you play as Liam's brother? And then you talk to blad guy called zero?
If I were president, I would create a separate position for you where you would be paid a full salary so that all your work would be creating this game. I think this way you would create new chapters more often and faster. But seriously, I wouldn't want you to have a creative crisis and just quit this game, so work at a pace that's convenient for you)
Happy to hear that you like it that much :D
Hello, fine evening (or morning/afternoon, not sure if we have the same time zone)
I would like to ask how do I download the chapter 10? I just finished the 1st season CompD and it was AMAZING! to the point that I forgot that this is an adult game and kinda skipped some spicy scenes (although I felt bad as the animators probably spent hours or days for it so I savoured each second) Anyways I wanted to continue playing this and wondering how I would connect the season 1 and 2 and save my save files. I am on android if you would like to know. Thank you and have a fine day!
nevermind I have found a way, I just simply download and install it. My phone automatically connected them together, although when I try to load into my saves, "an error has occurred" may happen, you can simply click the ignore button and VOILA! you can start the game
this is a guide for the ones on the same situation as me so it won't apply for everyone else
There is also a guide how to install it on the storepage, you should not load a savefile, but start a new game. Anyway happy to hear that it worked for you.
Ffffffffffff i need new updateeeeeee
I currently need apple juice. Well, guess i will have to walk to the store. (also i am currently working on it.)
i always feel so envy about you guys intelligent, wrote stories from 0 to 1 creating a different realm full of imaginations, and also i learned alot of English from vn(its not my mother language) yet im not really into studying in school like not even graduate from high school education btw, i don’t really care maybe im sucks in grammar but at least people understand what i said,I really appreciate of what you’re doing and please do keep going on, thanks n cheers!
Hi Dev ty for making this VN, the story of VN is very good
Ty for playing the game :D
Very good story, I've been playing since chapter 1 was released. But chapter 10 (Season 2) has a bug for me.
The "Back" button has no function for me. It is also greyed out, unfortunately I often need this button
please add “Back” a left or right side screen will be perfect
To be honest, I actually don't know why 'back' isn't working for some of you: I’m clueless. (Which, to be fair, is the state I’m in 90% of the time.)
don’t get me wrong, “back” is working fine, im talking about the “rollback side” it could be able to choose right or left side of the screen so easier to use
Is the game story completed?
Season1 is completed, but season2 isnt.
So is there continuation of the season 1 story in season 2
yes
The echoes of the eye OST makes me feel so old...
I also feel old <.<
most game on itch needs a few months to update, and experience them just in one or two days.
so i download, play them to the last chapter, then delete them. Wait until the itch send e-mail says the new update is out.
my question is, even i finished 9 before,i must do this form the start?
if i finish the 10, delete the game. Do I need to start from 1 when the 11 come out?
no the save will work for the next update
Depends on what device you are playing.
Im not sure if im the only person with this issue but it says the discord invite is expired. Hope that a good review helps, made an account just because of this game, amazing work.
That is kinda weird, about what expired discord link we are exactly talking about? The one ingame? The one on this storepage here?
This storepage
it works for me <.<
Oh well it is what it is i suppose, either way extremly good game, probably the best one ive played, definitely looking forward to what will happen
I have really get stuck in this game. This is best game i have played. Lol have lost count on how many times. I love the content and characters in this game. Cant wait for the next chapter. Keep up your good work berkili4.
How many chapters are planned for this game ?
Happy to hear that you like it, and i dont know how many chapters this game will have.
I love this game, the story is very engaging and fun, keep up the great work!
Thanks :D
Hello, may I ask if you can use AI software like ChatGPT for translations in other languages?
No i cant, because i have no idea how to implement that. I am very bad coder. Also my focus is curently on creating new content.
and yes, I almost forgot, the game is absolutely awesome, author, good luck to you in the future!
Thanks :D Happy to hear that you like it.
friends who have android 13-14 ... better play on pc or on an old version of android. on android 14 you can't transfer saves from part 1 to 2 (the system blocks copying and moving files from the data folder)
That is weird, the android i own is on version 14 and it works just fine.
All I can say is WOWOWOWOWOW; had no idea this game would be so involved. Takes your emotions beyond the galaxy, when you start to love someone they are either gone, come back in a different way or-- don't want spoilers but a certain mother I am beginning to hate. The first couple of chapters don't even for-tel what you end up in chapters 7-9. It has jumped up into Wartribe (hoping it doesn't have the same ending) and my favorite conclusion of City of Broken Dreams. You put this into a Sci-Fi book (which I am a great fan of back in my day) as the story
encompasses action, braver and cowardice, betrayal, romance and of course any erotic/exotic scenes you could want. If you want just a sex game, there are plenty out there and I would suggest you pass. If
you want something to hold your interest-go for it.
I didn't know enough about choices, tried them all when I thought it matter,
but just saw one come up showing that i am still on her path (in Chapter 9). I didn't notice any other and there doesn't appear to be a section to show how I am doing.
But again, thanks for a good experience and hard work putting this together.
Happy to hear that you had fun with my little game :D
很棒的故事。
谢谢
whats the deal with the season 1 and season 2 stuff? its a bit unclear to me
As with a series, you start with season 1, and when you've finished that, you watch season 2.
Who is Sam? Is it another game's NPC?
You not get to the end of current content?
The season 1 on android apk seems to be taking a 7 hours to download HAHAHAHA while the season 2 or the 701mb only takes a 37 seconds.
Well the chapter 1 file is a bigger file, but 7hours seems a bit to crazy.
Well the downloading didn't work until yesterday but I forgot that I already Download it, I didn't realize because the game name in my phone is Comp with a spider logo hahahaha.
Hey Berkili, thanks for the new update. I've been dying to know what's gonna happen next. Now it's finally here. Bt there's a problem I'm with ur S2 that's why I'm writing it. After every update I always play the game from the beginning that's why I also downloaded the S1 too when I'm downloading the S2. Bt after when S1 downloaded I installed it and then when I was trying to install the S2, it's actually shows 'update'. That's why I wanna know does S2 not create a different app like 'COMPD2'????
No its the same apk, otherwise i wouldnt be able to import choices from the first game.
Ooo.... Ok. I understood. Thanks for ur reply.
I don't know if its just me but for whatever reason after I update for Chapter 10, I can't replay chapters 1-9. I use android btw.
Bro I'll tell you a easy way after any game you finish just save and get the save file from phone storage and after a update came just put the file to the updated game saves location
That is weird, try updating the season 1(the current itch version) and play through the final chapter again (you should be able to load old saves.)Then dont deinstall season 1 but update season2 over it. Press new game and see if it works.
If that doesnt work, and since there is no Dm or chat function on itch.io You will have to join the discord, send me a Dm or a message in the help channel. I am sure we can get your issue fixed.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try to do that.
Can you tell me which program you use to make images?
Its called honey select2
thank you!
I have a question, if I finish chapter 10 and delete the apk, and a new chapter releases, do I need to play chapter 1-9 again?
Depends on your phone, i actually dont know.
My phones saves persitent savefiles. I dont know if every android does it or only some.
Show post...
except so does my pc and it still didn't work for when i tried playing chapter 10
Show post...
heck there was even a comment on this game pointing out that it doesn't always work
you don't have to delete the apk just install the s2 apk(update) so the saves from s1 remains
berkili do you remember me ? :P
You Give Update Very Soon ? What's The Matter Buddy ? :P
But Its Good to see you release a update very very soon : )
Soon? Or not soon.
That is not the question. What actually is the question?
nothing I'm just joking. I am saying that you release a update of vr10 too early I thought I have to wait like 6-7 months like before.... Thanku For early update I have to play after i finish eternum 0.8
one more thing you have discord server right ? you frequently came online to the server or not?...
I do have a discord server i check once in a while. you can find the link to join on this page.
