Some of you might know me from my time with the "Where the Heart Is" team alongside CheekyGimp. Today, I’m thrilled that Perverteer—whose work I know we all enjoy—was kind enough to do a cross-promo with me for my solo project, The "Call of Darkness", which just launched Arc 1 / Season 1 on Steam! It’s a sexy space opera steeped in Lovecraftian lore, blending sci-fi, horror, comedy, and fantasy into a branching narrative where you captain the adventure of a lifetime (something we should all be familiar with). But instead of aliens and galactic schemes, you’re a war-weary veteran and his loyal dog, navigating sensual dreams, dark gods, augmented humans, and fighting monsters of every shape and size.

Your crew is beautifully diverse in both looks and personality, and the journey is immersive—complete with full sound and music design (some licensed, all lovingly crafted). The girl of your dreams may hold the key to both your future—and your past, but the ‘Darkness’ calling you to be its Herald may cost you all you hold dear.

Thanks for your time, and if that sounds like your kind of ride, I’d be honored if you checked us out on Steam or Subscribestar, where you can see the trailer, wishlist ❤️, and more. We also have a Steam key giveaway running through Scream Fest—details on our Steam launch post!

Quite a lot of improvements in this bugfix release. This update adds a log of the choices you've made in the game, as well as episode summaries. Another thing I'm very happy about is the Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations and French translation (the latter courtesy of Rory-Mercury91).

The game now also supports Lovense. So if you have a device, you can link it up with the game and get yourself stimulated with tailored patterns for your toy of choice. You can get a toy here.

The Extra Scenes Edition can be found here.
