About
Store description and overview from Steam.
Play as Grace, a seemingly innocent girl next door, as she becomes entangled in a dark and seductive world of corruption. What begins as a simple vacation soon spirals into a series of daring erotic tasks, where every choice pulls her deeper into temptation and consequences beyond her control.
Every character in the game is crafted with depth, emotion, and realism, making interaction feel immersive and impactful.
Grace's story is one of power struggles, humiliation, and corruption. As she’s pulled deeper into a world where dominance reigns and resistance fades, every choice pushes her closer to total submission, or the desperate illusion of control.
The journey isn’t just hers, it's yours. Some doors should never be opened, yet curiosity and power are intoxicating. Will she fight, submit, or adapt?
Every encounter is designed to be intense and immersive, with explicit visuals, fluid animations, and erotic sound effects that bring every moan, slap, and thrust to life.
Experience a branching narrative with multiple paths to explore. Darker is a two-chapter duology, with Chapter 1 setting the stage for a darker, more intense storyline and its ultimate conclusion.
Over 4,000+ high-quality renders in stunning 2K (1440p) resolution, bringing every scene to life.
A complete audiovisual experience with immersive sound effects, ambient tracks, and NSFW audio.
Multiple choices and branching paths to explore, shaping Grace’s descent.
A distinctive, sleek UI with all essential customization options.
Meticulously detailed erotic animations, few in number but crafted with care.
