What shape do you think it will take?

Noel knows that she can't break the sword's will without reshaping it, what do you think the sword will turn into?

The first person to comment correctly wins absolutely nothing.

Playable teaser.

I'm about to create the playable teaser, and I've reached a decision point. Since Patreon allows me to set up votes, I’ll let you decide, as I’m fine with both options.

As you know, the playable teaser is usually placed at the beginning of the next chapter—but not always.

For example, the playable teaser for Chapter 4 was placed in the middle. Why? Because the beginning of Chapter 4 didn’t work well as a teaser.

Now I’m facing a similar dilemma with Chapter 10.

Important Update for Chapter 9 Early Access Players

If you played the early Patreon release of Chapter 9, there’s an important issue to address. Unfortunately, a bug has been discovered that prevents your decisions and save files from being transferred to Chapter 10. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but the good news is that this bug is easily fixable. Here's how to resolve it:

How to Fix the Bug

Step 1:

Load the main save file that you plan to transfer to Chapter 10.

Step 2:

Play the game up until...

Chapter 9 now public!

Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that Chapter 9 of Companion of Darkness is now live for everyone: https://berkili4.itch.io/companion-of-darkness.

Also, I have a small favor to ask—if you're enjoying the game, could you take a moment to leave a review on itch? It would mean the world to me and really helps the game!

Who do you think Nael is talking to?

And what does she say?

Short report.

I’m excited to share that I’ve made significant progress (with some help) on making decisions from Chapters 1-9 transferable to the upcoming chapters. Once Chapter 9 is released to the public, I’ll provide a small program that lets you check if your decisions have carried over correctly.

Soon after, I’ll release the playable teaser for Chapter 10 exclusively for DARK ONEs. This teaser will seamlessly incorporate the decisions made in previous chapters. However, I’m still worki...

Finally!

I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you, but honestly, there wasn't much to report until now. I could have sent you the recipe for lentil soup again, but you already know that one by heart!

Anyway, now there's something exciting to share. Last night, I received the final animations and pulled an all-nighter to integrate them as quickly as possible. I'm absolutely exhausted right now and have to head to work in a few minutes, but it was totally worth it. Chapter 9 is currently...

I couldn't think of a good title

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I am done with Chapter 9. However, Chapter 9 is not done yet. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve hired someone to handle some of the animations. Once those are completed, which I hope will be by the end of the week, Chapter 9 will be fully ready. After that, it will go through proofreading, and then it will be published here on Patreon.

For all Dark One patrons, if you would like to be credited under a different name or not...

Info

Hello everyone!

I wanted to give you a quick update on the development process. I'm currently working on the final stages, and I'm happy to report that Chapter 9 is over 92% complete. It's turning out to be quite substantial, with a size about 50% larger than Chapter 7, which I find impressive.

I’ve noticed some issues arise when the game is modified, and unfortunately, I'm unable to provide support for modded versions. There have been instances where Chapter 8.5 doesn't work co...

Update and fixes.

Hello everyone, I noticed that the upload link for chapter 8.5 was unfortunately broken, this has now been fixed. Furthermore, i have finished the minor scene and the animations are almost done, that means that only the final is left, and that's it, then chapter 9 is finished.

We are almost at the end guys :D

PS: Oh and no preview today, don't wanna spoil anything

It's been a while since these two met.

Which outcome do you think will this meeting have?

Status update

I’m nearly at the end of Chapter 9. Many of you have mentioned that the previous chapters felt a bit too short, so I aimed to create a longer and more immersive experience with Chapter 9. This has taken more time, but I believe it will be worth the wait.

Currently, I’m about 85% done. What’s left to complete includes one additional scene, one NSFW scene, and the grand finale. The additional scene should be quick to finish. Regarding the NSFW scene, I’ve hired help to ensure it t...

*?ß$!

What do you think? Why is she pissed?

(Spoilerpost.) Even the longest journey ends at some point.

What do you think will happen in the Brotherhood's enclave?

Going shopping

For those of you who will follow Amy's wish and visit a clothing store with her, you will find out that lovely Amy doesn't even know how to change her clothes.

Before all of this mess. (Spoilerpost.)

Have you always wanted to know what Zero looked like before he lost the fight against Az?

No?

Oh well here he is anyway.

Who would you choose?

If MC could seduce a primordial, which one would you choose?

(For obvious reasons, Noel and Amy are not an option. Furthermore, this survey has no impact and does not influence anything. To be honest, I'm just curious.)

Plans within plans.

In the end, the fate of many is determined by the few.

Chapter 8.5 release

Quick Update.

8.5 is done and will be proofread tomorrow, once that is done i will upload it. 👍

Good news.

Hey all!

You may have noticed that the first half of the chapter takes a bit longer than usual. Sorry about that! I had a restructuring and tried out a few new things to improve the quality of my game. Additionally, the way I measure my chapter length changed during this restructuring.

Normally, 5000 lines of code would constitute one chapter. However, part of this new restructuring also changed the way I code, so I'm not sure exactly when I reached the halfway point. This time, t...

Look who is back again!

I hope you helped her back then.

Who do you guys think Ren is talking to?

let's see who guesses correctly first

You wanted a little more insight?

You can have that.
