This game is spectacular. Genuinely the relationship between the MC and Noel has grabbed me a way no other game has. Maybe it's just because I've been feeling a little raw recently and Noel's personality is very much my "type", but all the story beats regarding their relationship hit me as hard as possible. The character work is really well done. Great stuff, can't wait to get my hands on chapter 7.

Hadn't played since chapter 3, glad to see the game is still going strong.

I recognized some of the cameos from the council, but not all of them; I saw that you credited the cafe cameos at the end, but I would suggest moving all of the cameo credits, past, present, and future, to their own area so that they will still be available after every new update.

As a personal aside, I would appreciate it if character points weren't tied to femdom or other fetish scenes, not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.

Keep up the great work, this game truly is a gem.

I can't speak for the dev, and this is definitely just the vibe I get and probably not the actual inspiration, but the game massively reminds me of the manhwa The Breaker. Martial arts vs godly familiars, but otherwise the MC of this and the MC of The Breaker have extremely similar developments. Both focus on an underground society of superhumans, and they're both essentially breakers leveraging their extreme power potential for political power within those societies.
i was thinking just the same thing, beside the other similarities. the fights in the breaker has that fluidity and use of power without using stupid nonsenses moves, like you know if the character does a backflip it will connect with an atack, that line between so powerful but still grounded that makes you go "wow".
I could never find in any other type of media that gave me that feeling the closest was in john wick 1 when they raid his house specially when he grab the guy and rolls on the ground while shooting other dude, and to a lesser extent the fight between thanos and dr strange wich they both use their powers just perfectly without looking goofy ( like that useless miles doodging jump in the games).
i just love the breaker and this vn gives just that same vibes that i love

Hey everyone,

I'm happy to announce that chapter 7 of Companion of Darkness is finished.
The public release will be the 02.02.2024 (May differ due to timezone.)

Chapter 7 added: Over 1300 renders and over 40 new animations.
This is awesomeness given that I just finished binging ep1-6 having found this game only a couple of days ago. This thing is definitely one of the things of all time. Solid characters and story, really enjoyed it. Good shit Dev!

Gosh do I enjoy these adult VNs with a deep story, the sexy scenes are satisfying for sure but it's so delicious to see so many characters and plot threads. Thanks for the fun, it was an exciting binge and looking forward to Episode 7!

I usually am just a Lurker on these forums, but do want to comment I was really pleasantly suprised by the game, thanks to the DEV, good story, and most imporantly characters that actually feel like real characters.

Turning down a girl for intimacy should have consequences. You don't like that then suck it up and take the scene. It's your choice, there's no need to derail this thread with dozens of comments complaining about one single thing. Dev already adressed this when the update came out, say your piece and move on.
This argument is a false binary fallacy.

You are correct that IRL if you outright reject someone sexually it would cool relationship between the two of you.
But IRL (and in some other games) you have more choices than just 2 options to pick from.
You could instead have a different form of sex using different fetishes. Or spend the night cuddling instead of fucking. Or any number of other options.

disclaimer: this is not me taking the side of the complainers. Just pointing out this kind of argument is faulty.

Like for example, having a different form of sex. Or taking it slow and just cuddling together that night. Or whatever.

Sure, but she's not giving you those other options. She's feeling alienated, vulnerable, and that scene is a way for her to establish some sense of control in her life. It's a necessary step to opening her up so we can get some other flavoured scenes.

Besides that I'm not into femdom but if some hot chick telekinetically throwing me down on the couch and fucking the shit out of my face while her friend jerks me off counts as femdom then I'll suck it up for one scene. TBH I feel like the femdom warning was a bigger deal for most people than the actual content of the scene. People are so disposed to rejecting their character being dommed that they're more bothered by consciously choosing an option tagged as femdom than they are with what they'd have seen if they did.

sexually dominating someone is not the only possible way to handle feeling vulnerable.

Also, being written so that engaging in a specific fetish is the only way to advance a relationship with a character is a choice. You could always write the character slightly differently so that there are alternative routes.

You are assuming binary states of "into a fetish" and "not into a fetish"
There are other possibilities, for example "fetish disgusts you / is a huge turn off".

Disclaimer: dev can make whatever game he wants.
I am just disagreeing with your argument's logic on why this had to be this way

If it's the only way that she's willing to engage in intimacy at that moment then it doesn't much matter whether there's other ways to not feel vulnerable.
Yes the dev could've written it differently but then he has to compromise on how he wants to portray his character. Sometimes a dev will choose that compromise to please the most people, other times they'll choose not to compromise to maintain the integrity of their character writing.
Besides that I don't believe that I've said it "had to be" like that. I'd have preferred a non femdom scene myself but whether or not it had to be like that having played through it I can confidently say it worked.

Femdom is a significant turn off to me. That scene was pretty hot nonetheless, even if I can't get off to non penetrative scenes. If someone can't get over their own predisposition to it then it's a bit much to expect the LI to for them.
