Duality (Date 5 OUT)
What started out as an attempt to flirt with a cute guy lands you in the middle of a bizarre love triangle. This could've been thrilling. That is, if you weren't being tugged back and forth between two people, between romance and terror, between bliss and insanity. Choose wisely, "Main Character", for your choices might determine who gets to live and who gets to die.
Duality is an erotic horror game about two unstable individuals trying to win you over through every romantic and gruesome way possible.

I think Duality exceeded everyone's expectations; it's totally worth it, and I was completely surprised when I saw "NSFW" content without having to pay for the NSFW version! You're a genius for this; I hope everything goes well in your life and you become extremely rich. Forgive us for so little, and thank you for so much.
Me esta encantando lo que llevo hasta ahora en la historia, hace mucho que no encontraba una historia que me emocionara tanto.
It completely exceeded my expectations honestly, it was a bit overwhelming for my brain hahasha, especially since English isn’t my first language and some of the scenes were intense. Still, it’s a great game. I’m not usually a big fan of horror or heavy content, but I think the developers did a really good job. I haven’t managed to get a good ending yet, or one that feels truly satisfying to me, but I’ll keep trying because it genuinely kept me on edge the whole time every time something good happened, something bad would follow in large amounts hashas. Anyway, I love this game.
You've done an excellent job and I love what I've read, I'm just following Keith's route at the moment but I really feel that several of the emotions the game is trying to convey are conveyed very well, your work is a great inspiration and I'm excited to see what else happens
Hello! I'm on date 5 and I'm honestly having the time of my LIFE. As I was playing I was soooo freaking impressed by the amount of care and attention that went into the results of every single choice I made. I had to save so many times to try each and every one of them and was pleasantly surprised to see that my choices really did matter. That I would get a different outcome instead of just a single new line based on what was chosen.
ALSO. My jaw freaking DROPPED at the NSFW parts. Based on the other dates and the chaste way both Tenebris and Keith flirt, I assumed it would be a "and they had sex" sort of deal. Boy was I WRONG. And thank goodness for that T-T. The amount of times I let out a shocked noise at how both of these dudes got down in the bedroom.... too many to count. And preference wise, I never would have guessed either had it in them. Thanks so much for making such an awesome game filled with so many wonderful surprises. Image below captures the essence of me playing date 5
I love this game, the characters, the art, the plot and background music is spectacular. I wish I had found this game when it was fully completed.
Spoiler: NGL the picinic scene where Tenebris climbs the tree with us made me giggle. Hold on tight, spider monkey.
Does anyone know when the next update is coming out? :)
Me gusta que los llamen “los otros” es como cuando en TWD les dicen los caminantes :5
this is like the only vn that gets updated. TY for alll ur hard work
omg i loved the game! absolut cinema
I played this game before and it was sooo perfect, but I came back again and got surprised by the April Fool's update. That shit got me giggling so bad, I really enjoyed every part of it, I'm even gonna play it again later when I get the time. But the game itself is so good and well made. 😭💔
(Btw there would be any possibility of bdsm sex when Keith takes charge? (；^ω^） )
Hehe, I'm glad I made you laugh <3
And yes, Keith’s dom BDSM scenes are in the works rn
NOOOO, THE NFSW PART IS GONE🥲
It isn't. All the nsfw scenes are still there
THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! I WANT TO EAT THEM
This was genuinly amazing. The nsfw scenes too omg. You WILL find a scene u like. Theres like 10 different ones LOLL they all have art its awesome. The story is so well written and im so coming back when this is finished. Youre so talented Nightmare
the april fool's was just AHAHAHAHAHHAH i laughed my ass off ABSOLUTELY AMAZING "if you complain i will eat your grandma" HELP HAHAHHA OH AND "WHY IS YOUR DIH NORMAL SIZE AND NOT 50 CM?" HAHAHHAHAHAHAH HELP AND THE LESSON AHAHAH HELP "i won't let you lose it with an average dih" AHHAHAHA HELP oh and the best part of all was...... THE HAND (absolutely would done the same) WELL GOOD FOOL DAY (a bit late i guess...) at this point good easter
I need them both so bad that its embarrassing... for me... 😭
i love this twinkkk i neeed moreee
????????????????????? omg ?????? insanely good wow. ive played so many times already
This was the best freaky game I’ve played, I
I did read the description abt sexual content, but I didn’t at the same time 🤣🤣 this was sooo good
This game is AMAZING but I can't survive to date 5 this weird monster thing keeps telling me to disappear so how do I get passed that
don't use the clover on day 4 when we get lost in the forest! that's how i did it :P
yeah don't run, don't use the clover, and stay calm. also, i believe you need to turn left
Turning left is optional cuz u can also turn right
I'm pretty sure on the guide it says you can mess up once and the fae won't get you so you probably just only messed up once
Oh alr
I don't usually comment, but I have to say this is by far one of the best visual novel that I've ever seen on Itch.io. Can't wait to see all the endings and the rest of the story. I'll be waiting!!!
Is there a guide for all routes because I want the tamed ending, but I'm not sure if it exists or not, and I also wanted to try the poly end; however, I'm unsure how to balance everything, so I don't ruin my gameplay.
The game isn't finished yet, so there are no final endings at the moment. Only Bad Ends. I am working on a guide though.
is there a guide for all the dates?
This game is really awesome! It's the second game that I like so much! It's just that after downloading, there seems to be something wrong with the Android icon.
For some reason, I just downloaded and it seems the game stops at the restaurant date with Keith? Is it the choices I'm making?
If you choose that you're terrified at the start of Date 3, your character will automatically choose to give up during the restaurant date. If you pick something else, you'll receive a second option at the restaurant.
If you're talking about the "enraged" choice I have gotten that... my playthrough has been positive choices but my game ends after the date where the waitress flirts with Keith. Unless that's truly where the current build ends? TT But it doesn't seem so according the new guides I've seen. Maybe I'm doing something wrong
How does it end exactly? If you are getting any kind of "Bad End" or "Safe End" that is related to your choices. I will never put an ending of any sort in place of a continuation.
I managed to figure it out! It was because I kept investigating the noise after the restaurant date instead of ignoring it. Thank you for the patience, that's my whoopsie
I love both but lended up with Keith on the first time 1 played. It was so good tysmm~ (^- -^)
i love them both and omg, the nsfw scenes are so good <3333
make jacob a love intrest damn hes fine
I love both Keith and Tenebris 😭💗
I'm really enjoying this game! but I just got to the interlude and saw the warning for bugs and I'm deadly afraid of bugs. Does anyone know what endings or choices to avoid to stay away from the bugs so I can still get most of the endings?
Hi there! I'm glad you're enjoying the game :D
(Spoiler warning) The bugs only appear during Tenebris' interlude. To avoid seeing them at all, simply never pick the "Obey" option.
Oh, thank you so much!! <3
For the android version the icon seems to have broken during the update :( i miss the app icon 😭
Yes, this one is my bad. I'll get it fixed, don't worry
Thank youuuu, also absolutley love the novel :D
I WANT JACOB
fair that the others didnot wanna stick around. but i find neither keith or tenebris all that disturbing. (well, at least AFTER i understand that tenebris isnot trying to harm me) they're charming fellas. they got problems, but theyre trying their best in a difficult situation. i feel proud of them.
this is freshest comment ive ever seen lmao
this is the only game where i honestly can't choose who to date. the best thing? I DON'T HAVE TO. I CAN DATE BOTH AJAJHAKJGH
i just want to wrap tenebris and keith in a warm blanket. let them (and me) be happy !! really love the twists and where the story is going. can't wait for more !! aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Bouta play..
Help how do I get the new bad ending? I tried everyhting
Pick all the "obey" options in tenebris's interlude :D
Thank you! But I mean how do I get this, saw it on TikTok
ohhh that I don't know srry, please tell me if you find out!😭 edit- i got it!! what worked for me was being rude to him during date 3 then nice to him in date 4 before trying to do tenebris' route in date five.. then in the kitchen when keith tells you tenebris wants to come out click "let him stay"
I have no idea, ive actually never seen that cg! It could be Patreon exclusive?
It is not Patreon exclusive. It is from the Date 5 bad ending
I will post a guide soon! But the gist of it is: be mean to Keith during date 3 (at least 4 times) and then try going down Tenebris' route during Date 5. You must reach an option that says "Let him stay"
will we get guides for all of the endings? :3
Hi!!!! If youre still wondering i have the answers! :D
Cómo puedo cochar con tenebris? (Respondanme por fi)
OMG, TY, LMAO
esta realmente buena esta historia 100% recomendada, estoy ansiosa por la siguiente actualizacion!!!!!! necesito en que acaba y que va a pasar con Keith y Tenebris
De verdad que tiene buenos juegos pero lastima que no lo tenga en español
