About: The Visual Novel is for PC/Linux, Mac, and Android with English localization in renpy (localization will be expanded in future) *Spanish and Japanese are in testing.
While man takes his place among the Light of distant Stars, the price of survival may be to embrace the Shadows in Darkness... Man has finally reached new worlds and taken the first steps into the abyss, but, seemingly alone, we have had very little reason to change our ways.
War and profit are still the final say in things, so we should be content the recent cycle of war has passed and Humanity is once again united in peace, spread out among a dozen worlds. You embody a veteran who has served his planet, just a man and his dog looking to move on as the newly minted Captain of a starship with an oddly sensual and motley crew.
But you will rise to be the leader of a destiny that has been seemingly chosen for you by an ancient force from beyond our reality or comprehension. The tides of change from the "Other" sides are coming, and you, as a chosen herald to a less-than-merciful Elder God, must prepare humanity for what is coming.
Chaos, Madness, and Cosmic Lovecraftian Horrors that know only hunger and destruction will take much more from everyone and everything if you fail or fall. When the greater good considers compassion weakness, can you be sure you are doing the right thing? Is it okay to enjoy the rewards and pleasures anyway?
The Darkness is Calling, and it comes bearing gifts...

Arc 1 now launched to Steam! The Call of Darkness on Steam
Hey folks, just quick a progress update on things! I'm happy to say that almost a week into the steam launch of Arc 1 of the game that things seem pretty successful! Some things worked and some didn't, and I have more promotions in the works, but whatever success I do have is thanks in no small part to all you guys. So, thank you all very much for your support of the game!
I'm going to continue adding some localizations (Spanish and Japanese) and general tweaks for Arc 1 and am going to fully update the version here for them when finished.
Work on Arc 2 is also already started! I have general outlines and overall goals set along with the plots I plan to explore that have already been teased in Arc 1 along with a general knowledge of which characters we want to see more of sooner.
The first scene is already written and ready for me to start rendering things up, but I hope to have a good chunk more before the first build of Arc 2 for you to sink your teeth into. It will be exclusively here when it is ready since Steam isn't doing early access for new adult games anymore (another side effect of the CC continued persecution of adult games and fictional pixels), but at least it will keep things simple for updating going forward.
