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.

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 i love s.ex my contact here http://vipdeit.top/x22.html
We can't open chapter 10 even if I import S1 still can't open it Berkili4 why can't we open it we already finish chapter 9? No matter what I choose new game or load it is still the same.
If you need customer support i recommend you go to my discord server in the help channel. itch.io comments are not designed for such specific support.
Why nit combined for S1 to S2?
Because of the filesize.
The game almost makes my phone hang.
Ahh I see that fine by me
For some reason your game on Windows sems to be drawing a ton of processor power. None of the other adult games I play slow things down. It doesn't happen all the time, just on the renders when we're focused on a single character. Any suggestions to resolve this?
Can you show me an example where this happens? preferably on discord, since I handle support there.
is this game harem only or it can go non-harem too?
yes
so it is harem only?
Can you fix it and update it in the next update?
When i tested it on this one if my own Companion-name still shows up it doesn't allow me to use it, that's still the same the Companion-name "Rule B"
Also there is another one about Mitchel Grant being killed by Blake but it shows up that Mitchel grant still alive. he's suppose to be already dead
I looked in the code, and just double checked myself, it did work for me.
Did you use mods or cheats? or another version than the one from itch.io?
I use the mod version from DA ports on android the compress version, from itch.io is to big files for me. Did you test out the android version? if it is still the same as PC or other the platform?
All I can say is wow good work 😳👍
thanks.
Welcome!
Awesome, thank you for sharing dev.
no worries, happy to hear that you liked it.
Amazing story , characters, drama 10/10 would recommend cant wait for the next update!
happy to hear that you liked it.
Amazing game with amazing story . Characters are also quite beautiful . Good music, action scenes and superpower element makes this more interesting .
I really like this game the story all and the power up mc get after chapter 5 and the time that Mc loses his control i loved ❤ I hope it never get abandoned keep up the great work 👍
Awesome story
Dude I never thought I would see a blade runner reference in this game! You're an absolute genius. When I was playing the game I was thinking this could be made to a movie. It's that good. The back story of the primordial, the dark ones, the big bang and all that shit is just too good. Eagerly waiting for the next update. 5 stars ⭐
This is by far one of the best novels ever!!! You did an amazing job on the story AND content. I'd even play it without the porn aspect, that's how much i love the story. Thank you!
Is chapter 10 going to be the last one or will it keep going? I can't wait for the Ending, the story is very interesting to follow
Hi.I like your game very much.In chapter 10, the picture quality has been improved obviously.it is amazing.I like the plot very much.I can't wait to play Chapter 11.
As soon as I click on Season 2 Chapter 10 Start game.
Nael appears and tells me to complete chapter 9.
I cant load previous saves from Chapter 9.
What should I do?
Playing on android btw.
Hi, I play your game on my phone, it works great, I have completely read up to chapter 8. I just switched to my laptop to read chapter 9. And I have to I have to read from the beginning. Is there any way for me to skip it?, thanks
While it's been a since I finished chapter 9,im gonna tell you @berkili4 I love the game alot,like it's one of my favs it's gonna be a unpopular opinion but I like it more than being a dik,acting lesson or once in a lifetime.i have gotten attached to the companion (I forget her name I'm forgetful but the moment I play the game the feeling is back) you have tugged my heartstrings when she got taken away from me, and like I liliterally feel attached to the character, and if I wasn't broke man, you would be one of the artist I would have supported heavily I hope in future I could donate to you, the content you're providing at free is far superior than paid stuff, I have completes lots of avns but none have made me attached and kept me hooked like this, please complete the avn fast man actually don't lol the end would be bittersweet I don't wanna get detached, please dont stop making avns man lots of love.......
Ps. Sorry for the whole paragraph, I made this account (I usually just downloaded and left)just to write this comment I really feel for this game
hey author, when will we get chapter 10 here? im dying to know what happens next!
kinda crazy i finished chapter 9 literally just now, came here to see if there was any update and saw that chapter 10 just released 2 hours ago. sheeesh
I've completed all 10 chapters. I really enjoyed it, I'm waiting for the next chapters! (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)👍🏻
hope you will like chapter 10 as well.
A really really REALLY nice game! One of the best games i played so far!! Probably better than ETERNUM itself! Btw, should i end the life of the legion or should i let him/her go???
Depends there is no real right answer.
I like your game very much.In chapter 10, the picture quality has been improved obviously.it is amazing.I like the plot very much.I can't wait to play Chapter 11.
chapter 11 is not far away.
Like in my review the game is the best of all those games like that action was incredible I love it I wish it never ended I am hoping for chapter 10.
chapter 10 is already out. hope you will like it.
Hello Berkili4,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating such an incredible game. I actually created this account just to express my gratitude. You’re an outstanding author, and I truly appreciate the hard work you’ve put into this project. This visual novel is an absolute masterpiece. Please keep up the amazing work!
hey and can u give me a estimated date when u expect to be done with ch 11
and when do u propose the game will end its close right
thanks again
-plazma
your welcome, happy to hear that you enjoyed my game.
Same, bro! I made an account just to say I'm blown away by this masterpiece-it's like an anime but so unique and one-of-a-kind!
try eternum
Yo that game is tup yo I love Avery chapter
:D
This is a good game and I highly recommend it.
glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
Extremely good storytelling, very much worth playing
happy to hear that you liked it.
I have to say personally i have a tier list with AVNs that i played (and i think ive lost count how many) but this is the first time i leave a comment on a game because i really liked it. The way it starts at low chapters with low graphics and all...(sorry for this xD) and then after you manage to get to latest chapters man.. at first i didnt wanted to give it a try but ive felt something and i tried it a little bit and it was FIRE .. well back to main review. For me the best AVNs out there is still Eternum but i just have to say it yours is a little bit below but trust me is damn GOOD. So as far as i know the story continues and is not finished, maybe in the future..who knows:D. Thank you for the game and im waiting for your next chapter/ maybe another game.
While u wait, try to give Superhuman a chance bro. Might help to kill time while waiting for this masterpiece to update
I'll do it tonight , anymore masterpieces that i should know ? :D
wild cats,new horizon
already played them , both great
How to download it on android i really wanna play this game
press on the download button <.<
Jokes aside, if you have an issue downloading, could you please explain whats not working?
Can you get everything in one save or nah?
(Like clarification, cuz I know there's branching but I wanna know if you can do it in one go)
it depends on how you define “everything”. you won't see every dialog and every location in one run.
But you can unlock every gallery entry.
Oh thanks dev, yeah I meant the gallery
How much branching is there gonna be? Like Eternum where the choices mostly affect H-scenes and romantic paths but the story mostly play out the same? Or more like Being a DIK where you'll need 15 different saves to see everything.
There is branching, but you certainly won't need 15 saves.
can i translate it into Chinese so our Chinese players can play?
Sure feel as long as you keep it free. You can make a fan translations.
This feel more like an anime than a visual novel. That's not a positive or a negative, just a personal observation. Goddamn this is really good though, binged it all in one and a half day.
Oh and the gallery for season 2 (chapter 10) is revealed from the start, don't know if that's intentional
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the game so much.
The thing with the gallery is not intentional but also not that big of a deal for me to fix it. maybe i will with the next update <.<
MC is a 1 pump champ. Always needed viagra for a 2nd round.
no u.
Play your own graphic novel.
Well considering berkill made the novel, I'm sure they know what's in the story, and the main thing isn't the lewd scenes it is the story, which I and quite a few others find it absolutely amazing.... Tho I do hate them damn cliff hangers damnit.
Ive played a few games like this before and this is by far my favourite. Ive never been so invested in the storyline as I am with this game and I can't wait for the next update
Happy to hear that you like it.
By far one of the best ive played, not too much not too little. Those cliff hangers are brutal, doing your job of leaving us wanting more. Although how would I enquire about a collab? Haha
Great work! Keep it up!!
Happy to hear that you like it :D
Hi Berkili4 when will be your next update of companion of darkness?
When its done :P
any guess when that is?
Guessing 1-2 more months going by previous updates. I'm trying to be as patient as I can be by playing others games to take my mind off it, but those cliffhangers kill me. Which unfortunately they are doing their job. Especially the recent cliffhanger
but what to do when by the other games you play you also have to wait for updates?
well... wait.
what you do is click follow so when the dev post any updates in the development log itchio will send you a message through your email. To find new games just type in your search engine ( games like companion of darkness itchio). 🙃 Or you can do like me and hangout under the dev and wait till something pops out just be careful in case they have an upset stomach you may get a fresh coating. 🤗 No kink shaming here if your into that shiny coating.
You play again
Do you have any other games?
Berkili4 so you already release the season 2 of companion of darkness and it is chapter 10 you combat access season 2 of you don't finish season 1 I just discover it today.
