Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 9 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
The Call of Darkness is a story-driven adult visual novel set in a distant sci-fi future, where you play a war veteran on the brink of a new chapter. The embers of a devastating conflict that nearly split humanity are still warm, and as the newly minted Captain of a sensual, motley crew, you’re ready for a more laid-back adventure.
But a prayer whispered in those dark days of war has stirred something Ancient — a hunger from beyond the Darkness, reaching and creeping into your dreams. It has plans for you, and it doesn’t take no for an answer. Its messenger, born from your deepest desires, is both gifted and a guide—but she needs your help before you can face the horrors to come together. Survival may exact a price that may shatter your very soul—as your past collides with a future far beyond what you imagined, and every victory demands a sacrifice.


A Dream Given Life
The nameable envoy from your new patron, given life from longings deep within your own heart and mind.
Devoted and intimately familiar with your innermost thoughts, her innocence conceals a darker side—one easily overlooked, but not to be ignored.


Welcome to the Antares! She is a decommissioned Earth Gov destroyer, now in private service—and your new berth as her Captain. You have just been assigned to her by H.P. Industries and have yet to meet your rambunctious crew.


These are only some of the major characters you get to know, but several more will join you just in the first Arc.


Pella
The one you left behind when you were drafted to fight for Earth in the Mars Rebellion.
Fiery, passionate, and tenacious—
you thought letting her go was the noble choice to protect her,
but the past has a way of catching up.

Reviews
Really enjoyed this along with the free DLC, Story was cool and the ladies were all beautiful, cant wait to see were its going please release the next season asap!
I like the premise of this game and the story has potential, its a mix of SciFi with some horror elements, other than that the girls in this AVN also seem interesting, there were some I was skeptical at first but now I like them more. Def a recommend from me.
À la santé du capitaine Leif ! ( ̄ー ̄)ゞ

Enjoyed the game, story and Cast, Thanks!
The game is good. Had some issues at the start, but those were quickly ironed out. The characters are well written and the story line can be a little... Up and down. But, stories are like that right? I haven't finished it yet. But so far, so good. Keep up the good work, Ace. Can't wait to see where this goes.
非常棒的冒险游戏,看不太懂英文,只玩了其中一部分内容,期待加入中文。刚刚在开发者那里得到消息,后续会加入中文。
Excellent story, love the play through and cant wait for the update
There's a story somewhere in there, the idea is good and that idea actually creates the will to see it through, but it's delivered, at least in English, with an astronomical amount of spelling, grammar, and composition error. The writers have problems expressing situation, feelings, well... the entire story for that matter. The progression is wrong, the story drags at inopportune moments, an example is a life and death situation in a combat scene, the ship is invaded by enemies, the heroes' lives can be snatched away in an instant, but the story in that section is cut by lengthy situations, in which I'm trying hard, very hard, to picture someone acting at a moment like that, but I find it impossible. At that part of the story there are imperatives to progress quickly, with all haste, and not only through understanding the presented situation, it's even put black on white in the text, "don't dawdle, or you will die", and yet, the hero waist time along the way, has lengthy conversation with the crew or passenger, the type of conversation you'd have over a beer at a bar. This breaks the story rhythm, the immersion, and the suspension of disbelief. This product is a visual novel, let’s not forget the novel part of the equation, unfortunately it's rendered, at best, by amateurs that haven't even proofread the content. The graphics are uneven. While the AI description does not mention this, I have a feeling the graphics are AI made and then retouched by unskilled people. Not all the time, most haven't been retouched. It may not be AI, it may just be a bunch of purchased assets slapped together with touch-ups here and there. The graphic style is uneven, the ship sections are composed of so many different styles, deck plates, and furniture and the lot makes for a distracting experience. There is music, a few tracks that loops, but it's not too annoying. At least, you can turn the music volume down. There is a part where a letter is presently read by a voice actor, it would have been better to not have done that at all. It's unfortunate to not recommend an indie product, I am certain there was a lot of love in the making, but the result is rather amateurish. It would be a whole lot better if only spelling and grammar were fixed. I am not done with the novel, I don't know exactly how much is left, I will see it through, at least I'll try, because there really is an intriguing story there. It's just unfortunate the delivery is that amateurish.
Not enough content for the price.
