eisforelbowsmash rated Companion of darkness

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

Ok so to start with, I'm generally unfamiliar with porn games, so I cannot really compare this to other games in the genre because when I feel the need to make use of porn, I generally just lookup videos of actual people. So far as a "porn rating" goes, It's fine I guess, not really my thing, but the graphics look decent enough so I assume if video game porn is your thing, then this looks OK.

So why the review? Well I was having a discussion with an online friend about porn games, and having not played anything like that outside of Huniepop, I didn't think there could be any with a decent story, since everyone seemed to hold Huniepop up as the best example of a "porn game that's actually a game", and its still just a match-3 game with a very loose "story" as an excuse to bang the girls. He told me to try this one because it was free and if it wasn't interesting after a couple hours, He'd buy me a game from my steam list, and bet me that if I thought it was interesting I had to buy him a game from his, and either way I had to leave a review. I told him sure, would be good for a laugh at least.

So spoiler alert, I actually enjoyed the game and I say this as someone doing as much of a "porn free run" as possible, I have only watched the scenes which the game does not let your character skip participating in or watching, which are actually quite few as far as I can tell. But as a gamer, and anime fan, I find it pretty decent.

I played through all the released content in an afternoon, and actually was interested enough to finish it in a single sitting without getting particularly bored. I will say there is not a whole lot of "game" attached to this even by visual novel standards, but the writing is quite good and the graphics are pretty decent for a free game, with a few exceptions where the graphic designer made a landscape a little too ambitious for their skills.

The story basically plays out as a shonen anime but with a lot more sex. There seem to be options for a whole lot of sex despite me never actively hitting on anyone, which I suppose is to be expected in this sort of game, but none of the characters make you work for it as far as I can tell, and some of them nearly force themselves on you. Apart from half the characters being shameless sluts (they do feed on emotions, I suppose) the overall story is actually fairly decent and the characters are interesting and varied, while a few seems like anime stereotypes, most of them actually are written to be a little more complex than that (most, not all).

I actually want to see what happens to some of the characters, and the game world is actually a pretty cool piece of original fantasy, clearly written as a story with sex scenes thrown in, rather than just an excuse to get to the racy parts. Without giving anything away, think something like JoJo, except the Stands live independently until they get attached to a person and move to another one after the host dies, and also all of them are anime waifus. It's actually a decent concept. It plays out a lot like a shonen anime as well, so if you enjoy that sort of thing but want a lot more sex in it, this is probably the game for you, and even if you want to skip the sex parts there are a couple hours of decent entertainment here.

So there you go Scooter, you win this round, check your steam for a gift. I've even gone so far as to support the creator on Patreon as I want to see the game finished and see how the story plays out. That said I cannot think of a discord I would less like to jump in than one populated by people uniting in their support of porn, so you're on your own there.

So as far as a non-porn gamer's review goes, I do recommend this one, for what ever that's worth.
