Duality
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.

This is my first comment. I usually just lurk, play the games and move on.. but this, THIS game is incredible. I'm desperate for more.. seriously one of the best things I've ever had the honor of experiencing, I cannot WAIT for more!!!!
Tenebris loves the MC so much it's almost heartbreaking to watch... he's SO unbelievably lovable!!
Increíble!! Lo amoo, muy difícil decidir por alguno, los quiero a ambos😔 por favor, se necesita el idioma español, pero como pueda lo juegoo y no me arrepiento, muy bueno. Estoy volviendo a descargarlo 😍
I need this in spanish PLS
help, I f*cked tenebris. hes kinda hot tho
Will we ever get to choose our appearance?? I saw that when I kissed Keith I was just a black void (or smth). Hoping for a customizing option! Also ty for being inclusive!!<3 That's all for now, haven't finished the game yet, much love :3
This game has a special place in my heart and I like to revisit it from time to time [ CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE😋😋😋 I can't choose between Tenebris and Keith 🥲😭 ] But I had a question.
Spoilers for those who haven't played yet [ if you haven't what are you doing play the game 🤨 ]
.

.
.
During date two or three ig [ the one with Keith ] when the waitress give him her number the player options are to get mad about that, ask what he would do with it, or don't give a damn. I always picked the second option [ because realistically I wouldn't want to make a scene 😭 ] and Keith would get sad or have a bothered expression. While replaying tho, out of curiosity, I chose the first option and then the Mc goes on a tangent about how much they are mad and when Keith reassures the Mc , they end up like saying how perfect Keith is and how he is theirs and some creepy music box song plays in the background and Keith ends up like smiling and that is like unsettling af🥲. Does this like say something about his character more than just like "he was trying to reassure the Mc" and like out of the two with the end of date five, I can say that the scarier one between Keith and Tenebris is obviously Keith, like he is a disturbed individual hiding behind a sweet aura😟
KENTO NANAMI!? WHAT ARE *YOU* DOING HERE?????
Peak game 10/10 would recommend to my friend bc of the yummy art best game to play during class(JOKE)
Porque no está en español 🥲
I love the game, but are the backgrounds AI? Dunno if anyone has pointed this out... Or if it's just super low quality, but I feel like the clipped bench and trees that end randomly and don't make sense make it pretty obvious it's AI. It would be a shame to find out such a good game is using it lol...
Hello! That's one of the old backgrounds I used way back. It isn't AI, it's a real stock photo with a filter put over it. I am vehemently against the use of AI
I see, thank you for clearing that up ^
This game is so intriguing, i love both characters but i have a soft spot for keith
hola hice una fan traduccion a español, la tienen en mi web de mi perfil!
RECIÉN DESCUBRÍ TU PERFIL Y ME ENCANTA, GRACIAS
Excited for the full game, mostly for the poly ending
En español 🥲 de
por favor en español 😭😭
hola, yo la traduci, mira mi perfil
this is my first visual novel and i love it!! i cant wait for the finished product. :
I need this still for play in navigator please i love them so much <3
This visual novel it's soooo good. I can't decide Tenebris and Keith are both so cute <3. I can't wait for the full game.
Rly good game i recommend it cant wait for the next chapters ❤️
20?! DAMN, I FOUND 2 🤣. But this it's SUCH a good game, i love it sm!! I can't wait for more!
It was a very good game, i hope there is more soon <3
this game changed my life, best vn i have ever played i crave for moreee
( I NEED KEITH OMFG)
i loved it somuch somuch. keith was whole damn forest till he became suspense, neverthless i didnt think there would be nsfw scene . i really loved those scenes
Habra una versión en español? :D
En español
I saw the thumbnail and thought it was Utsuro
holy shit, genuinely the best 3 and a half hours of my life I CANT WAIT FOR MOREE
Love this sm!!!
Omg the ending before the ‘to be continued’ had me gasping
To be continued...:') im so curious and confused. Its 2am and this game was so binge-worthy. Can't wait for whatever's to come next.
I spent 3 hours playing this game to get all the routes, it was so fun and im so excited to see the ending of the game, i really hope theres a happy ending as i love tenebris and keith so much, they are very cute and they both have such different personalities. This game is so well written i highly recommend.
how do i get to the ending where you don't call the police in the alleyway for the tenebris ending?? i forgot since i havent played in a while
First, I will point out that is a bad ending. Not the Tenebris route. Second, there is a guide here. It's the Date 3 bad end guide.
I knew it was a bad ending, but I didn't know what to call it! Thank you for telling me about the guide
HIII AAAAA HELP no matter what i do i cant seem to get the bad end for day 3 with tenebris, i alr followed the guide and the other option besides run away doesnt appearTT
Youve gotta select peace liky at the start. Youve gotta only give one of them yiur number, you can select date both later on if you want. When the thing follows you in the woods, don't use the clover and run. Also ignore when you hear something at the door. Say you find your coworker annoying and choose to go to Keith's house later on. Don't lie, either rant or cry after. go down the NSFW route
goated vn fr !!! loving it so far
DIOS, AMÉ QUE SEA TAN PERSONALIZABLE EL MAIN CHARACTER Y QUE SE PUEDA JUGAR EN NAVEGADOR. Me encanta este juego, hacía mucho tiempo que no leía todos los diálogos de una visual novel en inglés, realmente muy buen guión y apreciaría mucho si próximamente saliera en español así poder hacer absolutamente todas las rutas y diálogos del juego. En fin, mis felicitaciones a semejante obra y pienso difundirla como pueda 👏👏🔥
Tgis is single handly thes best game ive seen on this website plot wise in a minute. You've out down your self heavily
The new scenes are incredible, stellar writing like always. Though, for some reason, now I can't play interlude after I redownloaded the game for the scenes.
Did u take the nsfw route? If not take it. Ride him lol and if you don't see it the first time replay it then you shud js phase into the interlude
I love this game so far. It's beautiful, it's intriguing, it's creepy and Keith & Tenebris are so precious. I look forward to more updates! <
!! Spoilers !!
Honestly, I wouldn't have thought that this game was going to address queer themes, but I'm so happy that it did, and that it portrayed them so tastefully and realistically!
The internalized homophobia, the repression in hopes of seeming "normal," and just EVERYTHING about Keith and his relationship with his ex-boyfriend hits so close to home to me, as a gay man
I can't wait to see more of this game and its characters!!
HOOOOLY FRICK I don't normally comment, but this game is SO COOL. I love it sosososoSOO much, and I can't wait for the continued chapters. I love how important the options all are,
(small spoilers ahead)
and how the game itself is portrayed with the "continued" ending is so very intriguing. Cannot wait for the next chapters, I'm so hooked!
