Appreciate that!

Thank you! I'm still considering pregnancy as an option; if I do include it, it will definitely be a late-game feature.

To answer your second question, the game is a pure visual novel. There are no sandbox elements.

Hi! Thanks for reaching out, I have someone who will translate to chinese. Thanks for wanting to do it though, really appreciate it:)

Thanks! No concrete release date locked in just yet since I want to make sure Chapter 1 is as polished as possible, but I am tentatively tracking for a Summer release.

Yes, the harem route is optional!

I’m focusing heavily on the emotional buildup and character development right now. While pregnancy routes weren't in the initial plan, I’m listening to the community and will see how the story evolves as the relationships deepen!

Thank you! Took a few days to rest! Now I'm back on track

I’ve decided to release the Prologue and Chapter 1 together. I want your first dive into the world of The Darkness Within to feel like a complete journey.

Aria is definitely a great choice. Beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. 
And Tiffany... well, she’s a woman who learned early on that the world doesn't give you anything for free. Whether she's the one hiding the most remains to be seen. You’ll find out soon enough if your gut is right!

Happy to hear you enjoyed reading it! 

Congratulations on release! Very good character designs. Nicole best girl btw

Congratulations on release!! Fantastic character designs!

No hard timeline just yet, as I'm a solo dev focused on quality over speed! The Prologue is playtested and ready, and I'm currently deep in Chapter 1, which will be the debut release. I’m aiming for a few months, but I’ll post milestones as I hit them!

The game will have a Harem path!
