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

Man I was NOT expecting that particular ending to date one lmao. Love what you've been doing so far <3 it's dark and twisted but in a way that's still fun, and the atmosphere of tension and kinda whimsigoth horror/weirdness (outside of the bad(?) endings, tho I liked them too, it's just different vibes) is so interesting. Will be eagerly waiting for the next update.
Also wanted to say thanks bc I've been wanting to do some kind of game of my own for a while and playing this and remembering the fun/community of indie games has been hella inspiring. :D
I love when in games I get to be the crazy one
waaahh i fell in lov with tenebris o(≧▽≦)o cnt wait 4 more!!
Absolutely amazing, they're both so cute I want themmm<3
Loveee this game! Cant wait for the full version ♡
I want them both, and I want them BAD
I'm addicted and I want MORE PUHLEAAASE <3
I can't get the second option with tenebris when we go downstair someone helllppp pllsss it's just call the police and run.
SPOILER WARNING

Idk if you already solved this, but maybe try being more eager/exited about the whole in-game ordeal. What I did was focusing on Tenebris without being rude to Keith, just more of indifferent. Then choose the options where MC is visibly thrilled about the danger. You may also wanna try changing your plant option at the start of the game, I'm not 100% sure if this has to do with it but I did change it after a few tries and one of these combinations eventually worked, so..
This game was so cool, I love that style I love the characters I love the story. I still feel like we're going to die though, also why must we choose between them 💔 I know like in certain parts you can choose one of them or both of them but it feels so wrong
Thank you for playing and enjoying the game! ^^
There will be a polyamorous ending in the final version of the game. Which will be a happy ending
YAYA YIPPIE 🥳 IM GLAD TO HEAR THAT!
ITS MY PLEASURE TO PLAY SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GAME
太难了，我在第四天被带走了，我玩了好多次
i really like this game, but I'm confused because at one point i had to play the game 5 times just to stop dying from whatever was in my home/ stupid spider plant. :(
You can't die from the spider plant. Are you talking about the fae on Date 4? That happens when you get two of the three choices in the forest wrong. The way to pass it is to not look at it, to avoid running and to go right.
I tested every choice combination and the bad ending was triggered every time unless I got all three choices right. Idk if that's maybe a bug or something.
I will look into it. Thanks for letting me know!
love it
scary baby. (my personal fav) he desvrs kisses.
anyways illlll try iittt outt <3
them both hating themself makes me nervous i had my pick BUT NOW I AM UNSURE
One of Tenebris' sprites doesn't have his necklace on <3 just noticed this not sure if it was accidentally
Is there a poly route guide?
Poly route isn't complete yet! The ending for it will come with the full game
Can someone help? Ive been trying to get to date 4 but i keep on getting a "to be continued". Can someone please help
do you have the old game version? itch.io games don't update the game you downloaded. so you have to re-download after all updates to get the newest version. Hope that helps!
Oh thank you. But could you do me a favor and just give me a vague explaining about what happened in date 4 please 🙏
You slip into the fae realm by mistake in the middle of your date. A powerful fae takes notice of you and follows you home. If you don't pick the right choices, you may die at its hands by the end of the day.
ohhhh so that's the end of date 4? Then we are currently waiting for date 5 which will be the continuation of the game?
That's right
I am stuck on how not to get the dissappear bad end on date 4, someone please help <3
If you haven't looked at the dev log, there's a link to the Bad End guide. That might help?
i can't for the life of me get the Tenebris' option of Believe him when going downstairs, what am i doing wrongggg
Help, how do I get the NSFW scenes?
they r in the bad ends of date 3 ! there is a guide! https://nightmareweaverz.itch.io/duality/devlog/643296/bug-fixes-date-3-bad-end-...
Hi I seem to have a problem... I follow the guide to get bad end in temebris route but no matter what I don't get the believe him option to show up. Please help .
I did the choices favoring him like giving him; giving number, letting him stay and others, I think the main one lies in that one before the date which is how to you feel about him and I chose exciting. Got the believe him route then.
Thank you I Finally got it to work for me. :D
:)
Love it and excited for more. Wish we could have both!
Also it'd be helpful if it could keep track of the endings you've unlocked. For those of us with horrible memories :(
I can't wait for date 5 to be released
How to get the NSFW scenes:
Details
Basically, pick all the options where you focus on one character only (so pick options where you ask to see Keith when Temebris is out and vice versa). Around date 3 is when you'll get new dialogue options. For Keith's NSFW route its specifically when the waitress gives him her number and for Temebris' NSFW route you have to pick the go downstairs option at the end of the date (usually this leads to a safe end but you'll have a new option).i still dont get the nsfw scenes...i need more details pls...
Scroll down these comments and there are guides for both!
how to get the nsfw scenes? ive replayed so many times now and still havent gotten the option
where is the guide
How to avoid the ending of 'disappearance'
After meeting in the forest, I have died here repeatedly several times ┭┮﹏┭┮
instead of going with tenebris home, let our work friend drive us, it causes tenebris to follow us home in secret and able to scare away the monstor because before he just left us at the door. but now goes closer to our house, being able to see the monstor and scare it (we dont figure it out tho :(
oh this is a truly masterpiece. and those nsfw scenes AND images😋😋😋 real gold. I can't wait for the game to be completely released, keep up with the good work, I love it!
how do you get the the nsfw scenes??
it's not really hard, you just have to start acting really obssessed with them. once the choice appears you will know :D
Great game, Love Temebris. Wish there was more content.
also, I dont get why going left gave me a bad end and going right gave me to be continued. What effect does left or right have when they have the exact same plots lol
Edit: Can we get a guide on all the endings? I cant get the nsfw ones and i cant open the guide file cause I'm on android
How exactly does date 4 end?? And does date 4 automatically appear in the game??
I can't find how to access date 4, I know they added it a while ago but I can't get it. Unfortunately there isn't much content for this game on the internet and there aren't many comments let them talk about this and I don't know how to fix it ¿Can someone help me? :'c
Are you by any chance always going downstairs at the end of date 3? That leads to a safe or bad end. To continue the story, you're supposed to ignore the interphone.
I already tried not to go down and followed the only tutorial I found to get there but I always get the sign that it is not finished (and yes, I started a new game as you said in other comments but nothing)
That's odd. Try deleting the game and reinstalling it. Make sure there are no other versions on your device
Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to reinstall it in like 5 days, I'm on vacation and I don't have good wifi, when I manage to do it I'll tell you :)
It sounds like you had an older version, did you get it to work? If not check the version you're playing
I recently tried it (like three times) but it didn't work. I have no problem watching some gameplay (if I find it) or waiting for another update but I really don't know how to help so that another person doesn't have to go through the same thing as me ;(
(Sorry for the late reply)
Lmao I didn't expect one of the bad endings with the MC ngl. I enjoyed this. Can't wait to see any further updates.
I'm extremely in love with this game (and with tenebris wjdjaks)
HIII
Do you plan on releasing the soundtrack on spotify?? :D
Hey do you plan on making a discord server Or have one?
It's linked here on the page
Hi ! I loved this game sooo much !
(spoiler)
Even though I suspected from the start that Keith and Tenebris were linked, I loved the relationship they have with MC.
I have to admit, though, that I have a slight preference for Tenebris! In any case, the game is great, I really like the drawings and you're quickly immersed in the story !
Good luck with the rest.
Oyuna bayıldım!! Date 5 i sabırsızlik ile bekliyorum! Bu arada Date 5 tahmini olarak kaç ay sonra yayınlanacak?(Keith için daha fazla yandere olmak istiyorum>//<)
omfg I am extremely in love with this game, commenting again because I can't express how much I fell in love with it!!! The drawing style is amazing. I really like how things are developing in this game, I'm excited for date 5 😭💞
This game is very different from other visual novels, because you can genuinely stay with the characters, I really found it interesting, I didn't expect the game to be so cool. Damn, if I knew I would have played it a long time ago! I hope the final game is close to being done, I'm happy that such a good game is free! 🥳🥳🥳
I'm excited for the new NSFW images and the new endings! I saw that there would be a POLYAMOROUS ending, and I was shocked, it looks amazing!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳
Hello, hope you had a great holiday and also late asf but happy new year! this game is very good rahhhh can't wait for date 5
also does anybody know how to unlock thoseeeee scenes?
Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year! May this year bring new opportunities, abundant joy, and lasting success to all. Here's to a fresh start filled with hope, happiness, and growth. Cheers to a fantastic year ahead!
