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.

Happy to hear that you like my little game :D

(1 edit)

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 

Glad to hear that you like my story :P

bro just casually dropped his preferences like we wouldn't notice

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.

Hey there happy to hear that you like it. :D

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

yeah so annoying :(

Discord link is opening in webpage and not app

Which should connect to your app if you have discord open, should be fine.

Yeah no it was my error

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!

Happy to hear that you like it :D

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

That's rather strange, and the first time I've heard that.

Its is because is a .exe file instead of a .py I have a very good antivirus so I have no problem risking myself, because I also trust itch.io, but yeah, perhaps changing the lauching file to a .py?

(1 edit)

That's just windows security basically not recognising it as safe and downloaded from the internet. Happens to me every time i download something executable. Nothing to worry about.

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。

她还将出现在第 10 章中。希望你们喜欢。

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!

Hey there, if you have any questions regarding the lore of the game.
You can go and ask in my discord server, i dont think the comments of my storepage are the right place for it.
Also happy to hear that you like my game :D

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

happy to hear that you like my game and thanks for the input.

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!

(+1)

Happy to hear that you like it :D

Great game

thanks :D

is this safe theres no cucking gonna happen on the mc right?

(+3)

there is no ntr or cheating in the game.

LOVE this game and cant get enough of the story I'm still playing through and having a great time you did an amazing job making the game so far and I'm exited for future content. I'm noticing a lot of grammar errors and wondering if English is a second language? No hate just curious.

Happy to hear that you like my game so far.
And yes, English is my second language.
I do slowly rework the older chapters grammar wise, but

(+1)

I’ve replayed this game a few times now. Can’t get enough of the story! I really love your game and simply can’t wait for Chp 10! Hope to reunite with Clara again :D

(+1)

if you like clara, you will like chapter 10 :D

Hello, I saw your game on another site called Oppaiman and I wanted to know if it is a trustworthy site and if you uploaded your game there yourself or if you don't know anything about it. Oh and your game is awsome

(+1)

I'm not a specialist when it comes to network security, but as far as I know Oppaiman is trustworthy, the fact that my game was uploaded there was intentional on my part.
Oh and thanks :D

(1 edit) (+3)

Downloaded for the spicy content, but after a while I was more hooked to the story than I ever have been before in any game ! The only thing I need in my life now is for this story to become a TV series ! :) AMAZING JOB with this!!

(+1)

Happy to hear that you like my story :D

(+3)

I bet if you were to make a poll of how many of us came here for one reason but bloody well stayed hooked to the story it would at least be 90% of us.

If we could get a list of guest characters and what games they're from. I know I would be, and I believe everyone else would be as well, very grateful.

There is a list for all guest characters over at my discord server, feel free to join.

Could not find it :(

its in the pinned comment, also feel free to ask people, all of them are nice people :D

(1 edit)

I love the game a lot, the story is really unique, has a TON of potential, the characters are unique, loveable and funny, the art style is great (except mc and his brother, they look out of place in the beginning). Updates are more frequent and bigger than many other games in this genre, and that is a big plus because you don't have to wait ages for the story to continue. Can't wait to see where the story goes, but I would like if more romantic scenes (not necessarily sex) could be between mc and Noel in the future. (I finished the game in less than a day lmao XD)

(1 edit)

Also one thing I noticed is that I choose the maledom path every time in the dream sequence with Cia when trying to find Noel, but in the gallery view it only lets me replay it as femdom

that is weird. did you swap paths at some point?

I think I may have but I don't think I ever saved the game in that state and just scrolled back to the maledom option

well scrolling back is buggy, there is your answer :D

(1 edit)

Man, WHERE TO START!!!! so I downloaded for the spicy scenes (shocker right?) but the STORY AND PLOT is amazing!!! I absolutely love it, got hooked on it, and stayed about until now (4:05 am) to play it! keep it up!! :)  most visual novels struggle with one or two things mostly Plot or Art (terms of character art) this game has both. truly a masterpiece, quality indeed. keep it up and I hope one day ill become as talanted as you

Haha i am not that talented, but it does take alot of work.
Happy to hear that you like my little game :D

(+1)

Hi, I’m really enjoying the game! Just curious, will there be a walkthrough available? Oh, and I noticed someone is translating your work into Chinese; I hope you don't mind if I do the same in traditional Chinese (completely different, I know) . I'll wait for your permission before starting.

(+1)

There is a walkthrough in my discord server, feel free to join. 
Also, so if you want to create a fan translation, then do it, I won't stop you. HAHA :D

Hey there,since it's my first time downloading CompD, mind if I ask if my save files will be saved after deleting it and then downloading it again for the latest update?(I'm using Android)

I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think so.

(1 edit) (+1)

The game was very very good, I wonder when you will complete the full version or the story for android? (I wonder if it is possible to bring Turkish language support, it is not a problem if you don't, my current English is enough to understand the game) (I don't know what I can do to help you finish the game, but I'd be happy to help but I'm sorry I can't provide any financial help)

The Android version is on the same build as the pc version.
I am updating all the versions at the same time.
And no i dont do any translations, which also means no turkish language, i am sorry.
Happy to hear that you like my game.

(+2)

THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS!! THE CHARACTERS, THE CONCEPT, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS JUST SO PERFECT!! I'M OBSESSED, MAN!! IS THERE A WIKI OR SOMETHING FOR THIS?? I NEED IT RIGHT NOW!! I WANT TO READ EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF THEIR LORE, BACKSTORIES, AND THE ENTIRE WORLD THEY'VE CREATED!! THIS IS TOO GOOD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO FIND MORE BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT!!!

Happy to hear that you like it :D

When can the author publish Chapter 10?

(+4)

When its done, I am working on it right now :D

Hello! How many chapters are you planning to make?

to be completly honest, i dont know yet.

Hey, I'm having an issue with getting the game running.

When I unzip the file it gets an error, "unexpected end of data" and I can't get the game to launch.

What am I doing wrong?

what device are you using windows android or mac?

I'm using windows. I re-downloaded the game just encase my first try was corrupted, but got the same result

(+1)

I found the issue, apparently 7zip had a major update 3 months ago and your file is the first that I've seen not compatible with the older version.

As I thought, problem was on my end, thanks for your time!

(+1)

no worries, happy that it worked out for you in the end.

(+1)

I rated this game 10/10. I am waiting for next parts. charactor and story was amazing. I really enjoy this. 

(+2)

Happy to hear that you liked it :D

(+3)

Oh my gosh, 5 stars straight away! This is like a community game from 20 years ago, where players voluntarily pay, and this environment is rare. I hope the author stays happy every day! Life first, and making games according to your own preferences is great!

(+3)

happy to hear that you enjoyed my little game.

(+1)

I like your game very much. Can this game be written in Chinese?

(+4)

Hey there, i can't add chinese, because i don't speak it. <.<

中文不是很简单吗,自己找教程自己汉化了

(+1)

When is the next chapter going to come out? I have become really attached to the game I really want to find out what happens with the situation at the end. I also would become a patreon if I had the money I'll be the highest tier you got that's how much I loved your work

(+2)

"When is the next chapter going to come out?"
When its ready :P
Also, please look after yourself first, before you support.
The game is free and will stay free.

(+1)

how do I get gallery #23?

(+2)

Be nice to Blake and help her in chapter 4.

(+3)

I’ll admit, when I first launched the game, I had mixed feelings. I openly expected a C-grade movie storyline - something like "Zombies Beavers 2." I decided to give the game a chance, and I don't regret it. The plot and music completely won me over, and I’m really looking forward to the continuation. A good production deserves support, so I’ll probably decide to patronize it soon.

  1. Noel is my favorite character. I didn’t expect that an entity born of darkness and living for thousands of years (or even longer) could be so attached to a human and feel such deep emotions. I’m really curious how her relationship with the MC will develop. She is my TOP1 girl.
  2. I’m also rooting for Rule B – I believe his story deserves a continuation. Especially because his relationship with Nael is much more mature. Who knows? Perhaps the younger siblings will come to their aid at some point.
  3. Arsa is really well designed. Her temperament, combined with her capriciousness and humor, gives the whole story a pleasant lightness. The humor is at a good level.
  4. Amy is sweet, and like Noel, she is a great support for the MC. I’m curious how the situation with her... belly will unfold. :)
  5. I have mixed feelings about Clara. She's a nice girl, and at the beginning, I was sure that it was with her that the MC would build a lasting relationship. However, somewhere along the story, she got left behind. As a result, her feelings for the MC have to give way to other relationships, as we simply don’t spend any time with her. Poor girl but that's how sometimes life work.
(+2)

Hey "Zombies Beavers" is not that bad.
But happy to hear that you like my game :D

(+2)

I wasn't expecting much from this game but fell in love with it. Looking forward to the next chapter.

(+2)

Hope you will like it :D

so whenever I try to download it keeps saying 

"You do not have permission to save to the “(null)” folder."

(+1)

okay that is weird, i just downloaded the game and it worked fine for me.
i would love to drop you another link but i dont know if i am allowed to promote another store here.
if you join the discord and ask for a link there, i would glady share it with you.

(+2)

nah i just had to reset my computer and than it work 

im guessing the reason why it didn’t work before was because i had deleted an empty filed incorrectly 

(+6)

Absolutely fantastic game! First of all, thank you for being able to create such a wonderful story!

I love cod very, very much, and would like it to be enjoyed by more people. Unfortunately the game doesn't support Chinese, for that reason I'm working on a voluntary Chinese translation of the game. So far I've completed a fine translation of chapter1. I'd like to ask you how you feel about this, for or against.

If you are against it I will stop immediately and stop working on it, and delete the results I have so far. If support ...... you don't know how happy I am!

P.S. In my area, sponsorship from overseas authors is very difficult due to policy issues, and I don't have a steady source of income at the moment. I'll fill in once I find a solution.

(+2)

Hey there, I think it’s great that you’re translating the game into Chinese! I already have some Chinese players, so making it accessible to even more people would be awesome.

Also, there’s no need to worry about sponsorship. While it does help keep the game alive, it’s more important to me that people take care of themselves first. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel right accepting the money in good conscience.

(+1)

辛苦了大佬

Hello, my friend. I really liked your game. A fascinating plot, unique characters with their own twist. I wish you good luck in future episodes. Maybe we will see a sequel in the future in the same game universe :) Don't stop, please. You really have talent.

(+1)

Happy to hear that you like it.

(+1)

I'd like to know what the Legion's purpose is. To kill as many dark ones as possible to gain power equal to God's? Everything is clear with the other two alliances. But Legionnaires are a bit strange guys. Especially what makes mere mortals who are not companions help them.

(+1)

The game looks fun but I have a small question for if I play, do the H scenes have sfx in them?

thanks

some of the newer ones have sfx in them

(+1)

As everyone else said... 10/10, worth every second, minute, and hour.

The adult scenes keep getting better as you progress through the chapters, as does everything else from fight scenes to... hell, it becomes top-notch later on so don't get discouraged early on, though I doubt anyone would...

Glad to hear that you like it :D

First of all, I apologize because my English isn’t that great. And secondly, this will be a long comment :3. 

If I had to summarize this game in one word, it would be: masterpiece :v. After playing the first two chapters, I thought: the storyline of this game really has potential and opens up so many directions. This game would definitely be on my tier list... And after playing up to chapters 6-7-8. Damn, now I can say this game is at the top 1 of my tier list. There's nothing more to say about the story, it’s simply perfect: the way the characters are built, the way their inner struggles are expressed, their changes and development... truly beyond imagination. And the music, the animation, it really, really gave me goosebumps. I actually replayed some parts right after finishing chapter 9 (currently updated). Right now, I don’t have the financial means to support the devs or to enjoy the upcoming chapters sooner =((( , I really regret and apologize for that. But overall, this is truly a game worth experiencing, and I hope the dev will continue to update this masterpiece.

P/s: Gab and Nael are such a great match; I just hope nothing bad happens to them, but if the dev have plans for them... well, I won’t comment any further...

P/s 2: Could I have some games that people usually recommend? XD

(+1)

Your english is mighty fine, and happy to hear that you enjoy my little game.

(+2)

Absolutely LOVED this game! The story was fantastic and found myself completely immersed. I can tell you put a lot of effort and lots of your time into this game. Thank you so much for this masterpiece and I cannot wait for future updates!
