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

[Elhemeer]

While I don't actually disagree with people's overall English grammar complaints, those complaining about the new release should really remember this is a leaked early release, so offering notes of such issues (like Kaintfm does) would be more constructive. Not that I know if the dev sees posts here, but just sayin'.

Are you planning to update this and are you waiting for the WT to update?

It took a bit longer, but it's finally updated now.
My UI/Gallery unlocker Mod should also be compatible to the WT Mod.
In the Android port the WT Mod is already integrated

Love the fallout new Vegas Easter egg in this update!

Was it ever explained why Claire can see companions? I've seen the argument that she saw Eda because Eda was technically a feral, but she saw and interacted with the 2nd primordial before that when she was almost killed

It was. At start act2. Mentioned that she starts wear imbued trinket at home. As well as at work before. So trinket. I think it mandatory for all nonCompanion personnel of HighOrder involved . Seems logical to me.

That is likely logisticial not possible, nor all that helpful.
If the dark ones not showing themself even other companions can't see them, like how the MC hides he has 3.
IIRC dark ones aren't allowed to attack humans.
Even if the non-companions could see them, they wouldn't be able to really fight/harm them.
They do have some methode of scaning and dedetcting companions thought, like with the MC as he had that pearl with Nael's powers.

I see no logistical problem to imbue some jevelry or military tags and hand it over with uniform. There is no evidence that Claire or any human saw Darkones who hide, but she did interact with those who willingly appears and do so. And detectors they use to track Companions. Again, no mention Darkones detected this way.

So imbued trinkets for interaction with willing Darkones. Not to fight. To see, talk/report if need to.

I don't care if Claire is supposed to be our MC's surrogate mother and stuff, at this point nothing will give me more pleasure than having an option to kill her in front of her daughter while listing all of the fucked up shit she's done.

Well we don't know how many dark ones they have or how many of them could create such an object, maybe all, maybe only some typs like the ones which can make barriers.
I can see it being useful for some people in higher positions or special tasks, like Claire. For all of the non cmpanions i don't see this all that useful (and their is a shit ton of them).

now i need CH10... another 3 months or more.

first i'm curios of how Noel's reaction when she finally meet MC, now i'm curios when MC found out what Claire has done and what happened to his Brother.

I really like how Amys story was used to develop Naels character and the story as a whole. I thought it was just a quirky side plot but it got more interesting throughout the chapter.

Also I request that we don't have Gab in peril at the end of each update. It's too much stress. He's odd in that he's awesome, super useful but also very much could get killed and I both admire and resent the way Dev plays on that.

Gab can't be really killed thought...otherwise Nael will have one of her little tantrums which will destroy the universe again.

You got a point, but if Gab would be killed it would open up Nael as a Romance/LI...

Nael did change in the last chapters so i dont think that she would go bad shit crazy after loosing Gab, would she be hurting? ofc.. but i dont think that she would go all out with destroying the world or something like that, maybe she sends MC to do her "revenge" in findig Gabs Killer (should he die)

I would like Nael as LI, honestly i like her better than Noel, but i doubt it.

Yes she did change, but not that much, neither is it really all that long ago. She needs some more growth before she can let go of Gab imo.
But Gab losing his plot armor would be nice.

Gonna be honest, never had a game make me tear up with my dick in my hand. That Noel scene was beautiful. Such a good update. It feels so good for Noel to be back with us. Her every expression is just perfect. And the pacing of our time back with Noel is just great, gives us those peaceful, slow moments without dragging the wider story at all. And it was so wonderful seeing her stand on her own apart from Nael, and rewarding to see Nael's development pay off in being happy for her sister.

I wonder if Nael is gonna let Noel get pregnant to help her grow even more. Then Nael can just say it's a privilege her sisters get, if she reveals Amy as her sister. Wonder if pregnancy could also affect their power levels and change the primordial rankings. And if Ren's swords can kill dark ones, maybe it's warranted to give birth to more to balance it out. Lots of things to explore for the future, super excited for it.

This update also just reminded me of how much I adore the world of this game, the non-traditional morality and the deviousness of our characters, even Noel. It's awesome. This game is so damn good.

Currently debating whether to create a split personality of Noel just so I don't have to wait between updates to be with her. Ok, maybe not, but seriously this is the best game on this site. I don't even play it for the sex scenes. They're crucial to the game, don't get me wrong, but for me they serve a higher purpose of building the world and the characters and the story. That's what I'm here for. I can't say the same for any other game on here, even the more intimate and slow-burn ones that I also really enjoy. So glad I discovered this.

I save you 3 hours of your life, in case you are interested in the Details, they are all whores and Noel is not a virgin in fact he was a sack of meat from many previously, Only clara is a virgin and that is because she was a hikomori. I dropped the game, he didn't joke xd
On the labels it says "virgin", romance, of course virgin because the MC was one xd

The modded android port keeps crashing whenever I try to use it

Awesome update!

Claire has gone full on psycho bitch...she needs stopped, preferably with extreme prejudice.
Her behaviour did make choosing between High Order or Brotherhood very easy. Brotherhood needs powerfull allies to survive and I aim to be that ally.

I like Blake and managed to stay on her path despite Claire's treacherous plans.

I can't wait for next update, especially with how Ch. 9 ended.

First off, love your game. Great story. I look forward to the updates. Second, you really need a playtester for spelling and grammar checks. I see a lot of the same mistakes popping up over and over again. Certian instead of certain, happend instead of happened, etc.

Could be as simple as giving an advanced copy to a Patreon supporter to proofread. People might even pay for the privilege

View attachment 3996371

There is a team of proofreaders (including me) working to help Berki fix everything in chapters 1-8 and once official public release happens for chapter 9 we will give him our suggestions and fixes. This is all done in a google sheet so you can see the progress of what has been suggested/fixed as well as what Berki has implemented into the latest release:

Edit: Missed that on my run through looking for mistakes so added that one to my list, thanks.

Noel is not a virgin in fact he was a sack of meat from many previously

Actually no. On this i had to disagree. It was specifically mentioned several times that Noel was 1st time separated from Nael. And before MC she was spoonfeed by Nael whole her life. And this separation caused massive distress on both. Also, Ren. It is mentioned by Noel that Ren never had a companion, so i actually waiting to MC be first intimate with Ren as well. Also i highly doubt about Tessah. Her character is too arrogant, but there is no certainty. Also Nael can just grab what she interested strait from head. Including sex experience and emotions connected with it, which she then transfers to Noel. There is no mentioning that she ever had a companion before Gab, and it was mentioned that she was much more cold and cruel before she met him. Dia - possible. Lowest Darkones- most likely in most cases. Eda, Stix - definetly.

The only definitely massive slut is Arsael. And that is not bad for her character. It is better more fuck than torturing and killing. Tho she is love that too. Also it will be interesting to watch if MC and Emma actually manages to keep Arsael on "good side" whole story.

Actually Emma/Arsael is my favorite combo. I love every scene with them.
