VN Ren'Py Companion of Darkness [Ch.9] [Berkili4]

[PaxHadrian17]

I downloaded this one a while ago and this is the first time I checked it out.

Man - what a great opening song on the start screen!!

Is there a list of the music artists and their songs that are a part of this AVN?

I'm getting ready to dive in but wanted to know since the music seems stellar!

Cheers!!

Man, Emma is such a showoff now! Floating around like that indoors like she owns the place! Also, why could she float that far up anyway before? Was it because the second could FLY, so her float was intensified? Hmmm

It's not because of second.... Her companion arsa is capable of flying as well

Sure, but wasn't it mentioned before that Arsa allowed their companion to float and not fly? I suppose I'm confusing floating with gliding. But then what it really the difference between flying and floating? Is it that floating requires no wing movement and is less stable than floating and floating is thus strictly superior?

one of the best games around

Thanks for the 2 zip files!

I've always found that music and sound add immersion to an already good AVN.

If I play several AVNs with good music and sound immersion, then try one with no music/sound at all - I feel like I need to at least go on YouTube and find a neutral track (like wind, storms, ocean waves - something environmental that matches the AVN) to play in the background - otherwise the soundless AVN is a bit Too empty for me.

Cheers!!

There is no evidence of getting new ability after feeding on other companion... So, if I am to guess, her own ability got stronger... Floating>Flying or an upgraded version of floating. ..
And, yeah... With gliding, you will eventually come down to the ground if you don't have good wind... But, floating+gliding= flying?

Sooner than that I hope the half chapter was released in June

Public release should be around 3-4 weeks after completion, so I'm assuming late August/September. Only Berkili can say for sure of course.
Hopefully I'm wrong and it comes out soon!

So a bit of a silly question, I'm using a walkthrough mod and in one of the first choices when Amy asks if you are a Sub or a Dom it highlights the Dom option, now I do prefer Femdom in general, question is do you get locked out of certain content if you pick over the other?
And any idea what that first choice does? I assume it's nothing big, but I'd still like to know.

Even if you did choose the maledom path with amy you get femdom choices in the future with other characters, i guess that choice is only for amy in this scenario.

It doesn't do anything. There is not even a variable set. You just get a different reply from her to tease Clara.

Underrated gem!
Story seems original enough compared to the generic stuff. Quite a few typos and the English level is barely decent.
Characters feel different, except for some phrasing that are too similar, but it's most likely because English is not the dev's first language.
Lewd scenes are forgettable but the game would easily stand on its own without them.

Now that Nael cannot return to earth, having MC and Amy to take care of Noel and not leave her alone is quite a boon for her. MC's death might be a challenge, though. If Amy forgets everything, Noel will be alone again. Is that a setup for MC to become immortal eventually?
But then Clara's and Emma's love for MC might become meaningless.

He probably already is. If Amy can repair any damage to him as soon as it forms without even thinking about it then she can probably also repair any age related damage as soon as it forms. Amy is completely unlike any other dark one in that regard, her healing is so strong that she's one of the strongest dark ones ever with practically 0 offensive capability. Pretty sure the average companion has a rather short life span just because of how often they get killed, with Amy MC probably isn't limited in that way so who knows what his natural life span would look like already.

 

[HiP1]

I think they can backup memories for each other and keep bond that way. Every dark one can, as i understand, just other dark ones does not have such origin bond to wanting do so. If not straigt peer-to-peer, then trou Nael atleast. Nael is fond for both of them.

Gain Companion -> backup other sister, recover own -> repeat. Such pattern may be implemented into core memory by Nael or just initative must come from sister who remember more at the moment. Or even both options at once for secure.

So, no, i dont think there is need to become immortal MC for Amy/Noel. But we will see, mb u re right.

Upd: They also can keep journal/dairy and update it trou Nael, so, there are plenty opportunities. No question to capability to keep memories for them in current circumstances , but willing of dev in future.

If only a diary would work, I'm sure any dark one would have thought about it and try it.
And Nael cannot intervene in the world anymore. They would have to go meet her in her dimension, but now that they would know about the portal through MC, they will forget about it too.
Nael could summon them occasionally, maybe, like she did for the primordial meeting, but there might be limitation there.
And I'm not sure Nael would want to restore their memories as they would be linked to MC and their tome together, so they would remember him and their feelings and it would hurt them a lot. Remember that for Nael, forgetting is a gift.

That would be logical but it doesn't seem to be the case. Also, Amy's regeneration is limited by her energy pool. If it worked that way, Gab would be immortal as Nael's companion, as her regeneration is even more powerful than Amy's, and it's unlimited. And still Sam said that Gabriel will die eventually and there is nothing that Nael could do about it. So Mc should also die if it only depends on Amy's powers.
It probably needs something else. Maybe Sam needs to change MC's soul, like for Ghost, and become a guardian. MC could still be linked to dark ones afterwards.

If it worked that way, Gab would be immortal as Nael's companion

He probably was. He just got separated from her before that could really be seen. Companions have too short of an effective life span to actually test their natural one. Only ones who make it to old age are the ones who never fully awaken their connection and there's no logical reason to expect them to benefit from any potential longevity increase. Nael never cared enough about humans to take a companion before Gab so Amy and MC are the first chance to really test that thought. Sam would quite likely have no way of definitively knowing those limits.

And still Sam said that Gabriel will die eventually and there is nothing that Nael could do about it.

Sam also doesn't seem to appreciate the actual limits of Nael's power yet. She's managed to bypass his restrictions quite a few times and also managed to hide her godhood from him until Gab made her snitch herself out. She's still interfering with the world even now which seemed to be against Sam's rules for her.

nope, Gab was not immortal.
and Sam did know. he confronted Nael after she revealed her godhood. Sam is implied to be a god that rules over life, he would know. he said that Nael could prolong Gab's life for a long while but eventually he would die. and no, Nael cannot interfere directly anymore, except for the portal. it might have been allowed so she could still see Gab and avoid her being frustrated and upset too quickly. though, Gab dies killed by Dia's companion, Nael destroys the universe. so "not allowed to interfere" might be just because the other gods would punish her or something like that.

Summoning the other primordials and giving them instructions is interfering, having a portal to Earth is interfering, Blowing the MC's head up is interfering.
We don't know the former status of Gab's mortality. You're taking Sam at his word when he's obviously underestimated Nael at least once.

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 correctly, decisions from previous chapters aren't carried over, or players encounter dead ends in Chapter 4. These problems have all occurred in modified versions of the game.

That said, I think it’s great that people are interested enough in my game to create mods. I'm happy to see such enthusiasm and want to emphasize that I don't intend to dictate how anyone should play. Companion of Darkness is designed for you to relax and enjoy. If modding, cheating, or using a walkthrough enhances your experience, then, by all means, go for it!

However, if you encounter issues while using mods, my best advice is to delete everything, including save states, and start a clean playthrough. Unfortunately, I can only provide support for the original, unmodified version of the game.

Thank you for your support and understanding!



PS: How do you like this render? I think it's cool!
