The Call of Darkness

The Call of Darkness is a story-driven visual novel set in a distant sci-fi future, where you play a war veteran on the brink of a new chapter. The embers of a devastating conflict that nearly split humanity are still warm, and as the newly minted Captain of a sensual, motley crew, you’re ready for a more laid-back adventure.

But a prayer whispered in those dark days of war has stirred something Ancient — a hunger from beyond the Darkness, reaching and creeping into your dreams. It has plans for you, and it doesn’t take no for an answer. Its messenger, born from your deepest desires, is both gifted and a guide—but she needs your help before you can face the horrors to come together. Survival may exact a price that may shatter your very soul—as your past collides with a future far beyond what you imagined, and every victory demands a sacrifice.

A Dream Given Life

The nameable envoy from your new patron, given life from longings deep within your own heart and mind. Devoted and intimately familiar with your innermost thoughts, her innocence conceals a darker side—one easily overlooked, but not to be ignored.

Welcome to the Antares! She is a decommissioned Earth Gov destroyer, now in private service—and your new berth as her Captain. You have just been assigned to her by H.P. Industries and have yet to meet your rambunctious crew.

These are only some of the major characters you get to know, but several more will join you just in the first Arc.

Pella
The one you left behind when you were drafted to fight for Earth in the Mars Rebellion.

Fiery, passionate, and tenacious—you thought letting her go was the noble choice to protect her, but the past has a way of catching up.

*Note: We would like to market our full game on itch.io but unfortunately there is currently a discriminatory crusade against AVN's by credit card providers incited by an incredibly small lobby group that is impacting entirely legal games/AVN's across the entire industry, especially the smaller developers who are held to different standards.

So, for now, we can only offer the free Demo here and links to our developer page where you can access the full version if desired.
