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 9 adds:
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.

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.
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
I haven't played in about half a year. I jumped back in at chapter 9, now im in Chapter 11 and this Jacky girl shows up claiming to be your GF, but I don't remember her at all? Am I just developing Alzheimers or what lol? Who is she?
manipulative use of language by jacky
Yeah she was your classmate and a drug dealer that shot down Matt's brother.
Hello, I am really interested in playing CoD, but whenever I try to download season 1 for windows it just says that the file does not exist on site. Is there any other way that I could get season 1? Thank you for any help you can give.

Well, i really enjoy this AVN. One of the best series on my list. I hope this game will continued to the end..
And also i want to share my little opinion. When the game is already the end, you will make this game to sandbox mode/open world. Quest system, Fighting the dark one, hunting them, and bang everyone we know in some location, grinding, and leveling. Like Harem Lust game. 😂
so this will keep nostalgic with all characters inside.
Happy to hear that you like the game.
And no i wont make this into a sandbox game :D
Thanks for this amazing game 🥹
And thank you for playing.
I didnt know where the story would go after the first season but im glad it went the way it did. When the mc defeats unus will that mark the end? I really don't want this vn to end
Happy to hear that you like it so far.
And i wont spoil what happens in the future. (no the game will not end when unus is dealt with.)
for anyone reeling from the ch11 end cliffhanger, there is a post credit scene that makes it slightly less bad, still hanging on the edge but it's less painful
I don't usually write reviews, but this game is so amazing that I felt I had to. If you are thinking about playing, stop thinking and just play it. One of the best games I have ever played, including games that aren't even AVN's. The story had me interested and captivated the whole time, the characters are all very likeable, the power system is awesome (if you like Fate or Future Diary type series this is great for you). All around the game is amazing and I can't wait for future updates. I really hope that more people learn about this game, because I think it deserves much more recognition than it has. I am very thankful for the work the creator has put in.
And i am thankful for your nice words :D
Great as always! Love Noel.
Happy to hear that you enjoyed it.
same ending in 10.5 my last save the story is cut in clara. cnt proceed the story.. ill wait the ch12.. i thought i cn proceed further more.. ahh i need to wait again 5 to 6 months T_T the ch11 story is short
Is the story completed ?
Well, in the comment where he talks about ch 11, he talks about it being the biggest chapter yet, and says he hopes it doesnt become a habit. So i think we can confidently hope its not the last
Chapter 11 is not the last chapter.
Wow lmfao, just got here by accident and update dropped like 40min ago. Aren't I a lucky one. Simply for the love of the story I'm gonna replay it all again. Thank you again Berkili4 for this masterpiece of a VN. The storytelling is refreshing in every possible way, carrying its fair share of comical and deep moments.
Happy to hear that you like it.
Wait update
Wheeeeeerrrrrrrrreeeeeee iss the public releaaaasssssseeeeee
Excellent game, truly wonderfully written. So much so in fact, the Amy story really affected me. I mean, it's just a game and whatnot, but it conveyed a lot of emotion. And simply for that, I am grateful. As I've seen people say, came for the NSFW, stayed for the story. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll be waiting for the next season, which if I gathered correctly, is coming soon. <3

You can find a chinese translation in the discord server.
This is one of the best AVN out there, I am just wondering about the start of Chapter 10, I thought it's gonna be a new apps but it seems like it changed the older app and make it impossible to continue from all previous save. Any plan of separating it completely?
no plans to sperate it, wont happen.
otherwise all your decisions and settlings will be lost.

hello
hi
Just got into the game, it's a bit of a slow burn to start but it really hooked me around chapter 6/7 (don't want to spoil it for people so it's one the good at sensing girl came into the picture haha).
I'm just starting chapter 9 but I'm a bit confused on how to deal with chapter 10, since I'm a bit dumb with technology. As a PC player, should I download it, and extract it into the same exact folder as chapter 9, rewritting all the info or do I need to do a separate folder entirely?
Also highly recommend this to anyone on the fence about trying it out, and if it's a bit slow at first just stick with it! It definitely picks up later in pace, both plot wise but also romance wise. The biggest weakness compared to some other great AVNs on this site would be the models, but everything else is so good that it easily makes up for it in my opinion.
Happy to hear that you like my game.
Any tips on the installation? The instructions just say "download" but not where to extract the files. Do I need a new folder for season 2 or can I extract in the same folder?
Just extract in any folder, it doesn't depend on season 1, as the season 1 savefiles are stored elsewhere. It doesn't matter where you extract the files. Hope this helps!
Easily in my top 5 games on here. Keep up the good work. It's worth it.
I will try, thanks :D
Recently found this game I have a question though why split the game I don't see a reason too
size it became to big, and wouldnt have worked on android. if a app is beyond 2gb it stops working and need external updates via a diffrent server. there is your reason.
is it me or by the end of chapter 10 I felt like the over all animation received a big buff
yes they did get a big buff.
The story is absolutely Good. Easily one of the best out there
thank you for these kind words.
第10章怎么玩呀
我不会说中文，但我的 Discord 上有会说中文的人，你可以在那里得到帮助。
This game is at the top of my list for games I have to play again. It's a masterpiece! I can't wait for the next chapter. Please, be fast! I know quality takes time, but I would sell my soul for the completed version.
And for anyone starting out, it only gets better the longer you play!
You're a legend, Berkili4!
