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.
Companion of Darkness is a VISUAL NOVEL for adults that focuses heavily on the story. With your decision, you decide in which direction this thriller-mystery novel goes.

Lots of stuff. I haven't bothered to count, but Chapter 9 is easily the biggest update yet.
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.

Hi guys and Creator. What's actions gonna be next after twitch ban ?
This is a wonderful and engaging story; the NSFW is just icing on the cake!
Just finished season 1 and I gotta say one best story driven avn that have played.
happy to hear that you like it.
just messaging you because you need to open itchio home page and read there message on what they are doing. They took all NSFW games down and doing a review. And deleting some game accounts I know of one (a shot in the dark) which was deleted so far.

Berkiii why the f back button not working 😭😭
Story Is getting more and more interesting If you take this project 1-2y more than I can support you by buying your membership 😉
happy to hear that you find this story intresting. :D
Bro Fix The back button issue that problem is frustrating for me 😭
it works for me. Just double checked it.
mine is not working 😭 first I install so1 then I install so2 and load my old save and the back button was block
very good novel for starters quite good and medium story perfect for beginner that that wants to jumped after eternum
happy to hear that you like it :D
Español?
There is a fan translation, you can find it on the discord server.
Love this game! Definitely one of my top 10s. Is there gonna be more updates for Android?
Android will get the same updates as everyone else, so yeah. when a new chapter drops, it will also drop for android.
I have an issue with my saves not being accessed from season 1 to season 2. The game recognizes the saves as in the beginning of season 2, as it states all of the choices that I made in the 1st. But when I go to load an old save it shows an error and in the gallery it only shows scenes from season 2.
Here’s the screenshot of the error
Please read the instructions here on the storepage or on the discord server. But what I can read from the screenshot is that you are trying to load an incompatible save. Season 2 is a new game, which only takes over the decision from the first part, you have to press new game.
since it is a new game does that mean the saves from season 1 would not load in season 2. As I tried to load a season 1 save in season 2 and got that error. Or is the saves still compatible with both seasons as right now I am replaying the game thinking that since I pressed ‘continue’ instead of ‘new game’ I Had corrupted the saves.
Is English the only language available at the moment?
the only official one, there are many fan translations, they are not mine but seem to work, you can find them in the discord server.
这游戏会有中文吗

Where can I find it
When will the next update be releasing I've been waiting for almost a month now
Well chapter 11 did release not long ago. And brother a month is nothing, because i have to admit, it takes a while to create this sort of stuff.
Bro love this game
Just a month and you start complaining? Be a bit more patient my guy.
Absolutely glorious game, thank you for making it <3
Your welcome and thank you for playing :P
Hello!!, I just played your game and it's incredible!!!, I'm seriously hooked, one of the best I've played so much so that I've put it in the top 10 of my AVN tier taking into account that they are I've played quite a few AVNs, I'll give you my full support in this project and future ones, keep up the good work!!!!. 😊
Happy to hear that you like it so far :D
Damn, this has me hooked. Absolutely incredible so far, I've really enjoyed this.
Maybe I'm just horny... But let me bang Claire. That's my only criticism.
Maybe you are just horny.
Please I beg. I'm on my knees.
Actually speaking of horny... More femdom scenes <3
Was Noel inspired by Rae from House in the Rift? Or vice versa? They're really similar in disposition, background and demeanor haha, but still distinct, definitely did a good job there.
Most games I can't help but compare to Eternum/ripples/HITR/OIAL/Cosy cafe/projekt passion but this hits it out of the park and absolutely is up there. I played it ages ago and glad I remembered to come back and finish it.
Stoked for the next update, keep up the amazing work. The worldbuilding, writing, characterization and everything is top notch. Even have unique looking dudes which is extremely rare haha
HITR and OIAL WHATS THE FUUM FORM?
i think OIAL is once in a liftime.
HITR i dont know <.<
House in the rift i guess
To be honest, I'm not a big avn player, so no.
Noel was inspired by another character but the character is so far away from avn and video games that it would surprise me if someone guessed it
Homura Akemi or Aletheia and if it is inspired is it mixture of someone like 2B
硬啃完了英文版，真的很喜欢。但很好奇作者有没有做中文翻译的打算呢？
说到这儿，我在更新完第二季后画廊崩溃了（我在安装了第一季的情况下直接安装了第二季）游戏没有受任何影响，只是点击画廊的时候会闪退。

thanks
i binged through Eternum and was genuinely stuck thinking no other rempy game would hit the same and i was right.......because it took a while but this hit EVEN HARDER.... im so emotionally attached to this series/world/characters now like you wouldnt believe and im never going to get over it!!! T^T
Happy to hear that you like my little game :D
awesome game great potential and is genuinely super appealing to me stories great art syles awesome and charictars are well put
hlad to hear that you enjoyed it so far.
Is there any gallery for noel specifically? Like her art or special photos in different outfits that’d be great… Just a few renders would be fine :) . Fell in love Noel. Awesome VN!
No there is no gallery outside the one you already see in game. But there some Noel fanarts in the discord server.
Man i check in here every now and then to see if there ain't a new update. I download the update and it never fucking disappoints. Honestly man, i've played a bunch of VNs so far but this one is at the top by far. I love the Universe and the general idea not even mentioning how fae the graphics have gotten by now. I'm dead serious when i say i'd absolutely play this even if it was an SFW VN. Absolute peak.
Thanks for these kind words.
When Chapter 12 comes out I'm gonna celebrate it like a holiday.
Me too because then finished some big amount of work.
Sorry I just started the game and I couldn't find a walkthrough anywhere but I'm in a dilemma what will happen if I join the brotherhood and what if I don't are there any serious consequences if I don't?
on the discord server there is a walkthrough, you can find the discord server, if you click on the discord icon on the storepage here.
Ok thanks
THIS IS THE BEST VN. PERIOD!!
happy to hear that you like it ;D
you have any idea how long it will take for chapter 12 to come out?
i am currently working on it. but no i cant say when it will be done.
Is there a way for saving or copying the save files in the game because new versions happen to take so much time to be made and published. (For android and thanks for the help) (ok i think i find where i should look for this no need to help right now)
sadly i dont know, i am not playing on my android phone so i have no idea.
I copied the save files in the data folder of the game to my pc but i dont know if save files work for new chapters (actualy i can test the files if its going to work or not but i dont want to do it right now) (i am still going to play from my phone btw)
you can continue s2 on ur pc even u finished the s1 on ur phone!
Just saw this, is s1 and s2 different apk?
you saw correct.
haha i mean, i just saw this game and i asked about if the season 1 and 2 are different apk, and the answer of my question is yes 😅
好多喜欢玩的游戏都没有中文

可以给个操作步骤吗
Dude this game in my opinion is 9/10 definitely. Good story and also very good at emotional development of the characters. I am very thankful to the people who made this game and hope it will be completed. This is one of my favorite games even though I have played more than 70 adult games but this game and eternum are one of the best my favorite game so far. Once again thanks all the developers and wish you all the best also i hope you guys finish this great project. 🗣️🔥🔥
Thanks for playing and happy to hear that you liked it :D
There is not enough words to tell how much i liked this game. Im just lost in its story and i want to forget i played this game and want to restard it from the beginning. First time spending my time for a comment but its definetly worth it fully. This is just immaculate
Happy to hear that you enjoy my little game.
Anyone know which game this character is from?
She looks so familiar I genuinely believe it's a cameo, but I can't remember anything.
In my Discord there is a list of all the cameos in game.
This girl is Moon from MBML
Ohh yeah I remember thanks!
Right i completely forgot about it. Wait is MBML abandoned by now? I haven't seen anything about it for a while. (Well except for the cameo haha)
Edit: Well turns out no, its not abandoned. NiiChan simply did some updates for Sicae instead. Since i read "2024" on the last dev entry and we're already halfway through '25, i presumed MBML had met the same fate as so many other VNs. It hasn't.
she comes from My Bully is My Lover
I use a translator from Russian:
I can't put into words how much I like this game. I'll just say "Thank you"!
And also, looking at the plot of the 9th, 10th and 11th chapters, I had a question: How many Dark Ones will the Main Character be able to shelter in his body? And in what way will he be able to achieve Immortality? (You don't have to answer the questions)
Check out Ava :)
And thank you for playing.
Also i do not answer question concerning future content, sorry :P
Everything is fine!
(. ^ ᴗ ^.)=👍🏻
Hell yeaaaah new update
:D
Does anyone know what games do the other Easter egg characters that show up during episode 4 belong to? I only recognized the ones from Wartribe Academy
In the discord server there is a list of all the cameo characters. you can click on the discord button on the store page to join it.
Hey berk. I am trying to start a new game to try some new choices but it's only letting me start at chapter 10. Do I have to uninstall the update in order to do a new game?
the game is split in 2 season since it got too big.
season 1 has chapter 1-9 in it.
season 2 chapter 10-11 +
if you press new game on season 2 you end up at chapter 10.
THE ANIMATION IS ON FIRE. THE FIGHTING SCENE WAS INSANE. I CANT WAIT!!! GOOD WORK THE STORY IS VERY GREAT!!!!
happy to hear that you liked it.
The story has been SO good so far, thank you so much
and thank you for playing :D
good day! I LOVE THIS GAME, played it 2024 and playing it again 2025 june. i have a problem here!!. <==you see the season one, i played and finished it in my phone or android, and i was planning to continue it on my laptop and downloaded the season 2. the problem is the game said i should play until chapter 9, but i already finish on my phone===> . anyone help me, thank for answering!! I RECOMMEND THIS GAME, they put a lot of effort on the sound effects . WORTH IT!!
Yeah i dont know if safefiles from android work on pc. If push comes to shove, you can just download season 1 for pc and use the unseen skip button to skip to the end should you only take like 10 minutes and fix your issue.
after a lot of research its working the data on my phone that i transfered on my laptop working 100% fine and already finished. many cool scene and fighting! i hope the MC will aura farm!! it would be amazing!
İ just want to say 2 words " thank you"( and i hope there will be much more chapter)
Your welcome. (Yes.)
The spicy scene animations in Chapter 10 were amazing. Great job
:D
