About
Occultus: Daughter of Darkness is an adult visual novel, detective story, and dating sim with multiple paths and romance options.
STORY: When a Hollywood starlet asks you to find a missing woman, what choice does a private detective have other than to take the case?
Our detective, Jane Malady, knew it wouldn't end well but she couldn't turn the money down. What she didn't count on was being dragged across the country from New York to Los Angeles and pulled into its seedy underbelly, rife with cults, sex and something unexpected.
Malady doesn't go alone; she'll be joined by her best friend Ash, who has her own reasons for escaping New York. And while in LA, Malady will have the chance to make new friends and lovers. But can she trust anyone?

I'm only 3.5 hours into this, but I think I'm far enough into it to share my thoughts. Essentially, I like it. Be aware though, it is a novel. Very much so. Like an old dime paperback. So if you're not the type to settle in for an afternoon's reading it may not be for you. For me though, I like the story so far, like the MC and other characters even though more than a few of them look rather familiar ... as though I may have encountered them in other AVN's. And I definitely like the atmospheric true to the genre music. In short, definitely worth a look. Definitely gets my recommendation, especially if it's on sale. Cheers.
This one is one of my favorite AVN on Steam. I'm the rare guy who prefers female MC'S I enjoyed the nicely spun detective yarn with a bit of Vampire Masquerade thrown in. I played it a few times to get all the possible romance options and I'm eagerly anticipating a sequel if there is one planned , the ending alluded to that. This is a good story with fantastic mood music and just enough steamy scenes , reminded me of some of those Cinemax after dark movies my girl and I used to watch back in the day.

Story/Plot: As you can guess by the story description, the player is a detective who is hired to find out why someone killed herself. Along the way she will have some side stories that I really enjoyed. Visuals: Anyone who's played any adult visual novel on Steam will notice that the same program was used for these characters. One gripe I have is that most of the characters have a 'Barbie doll' feel to the skin, but it does fit the nature of this game. Gameplay: As a visual novel, gameplay consists of making choices, and seeing how things react to those choices. These are actually meaningful as it can spell the difference of getting into a relationship or ending school alone. Sound/Music: The game has a soundtrack which fits the mood of the story. However, if anyone wants their VNs to have voice acting, there is none in this game. Difficulty: Difficulty isn't too hard since you simply make choices to see how the story goes. You can also easily save at key points, and reload from there if you want to try a different approach. Extras/Achievements: For those who like things, this game has no Steam Achievements. Recommendation: I really did like this game, and would recommend it with one caveat: if someone can't handle hard subject matter, then they might consider something else. This game also gets a few bonus points from me for having a lesbian protagonist. If this dev puts another game out, I will certainly look at buying it. Finally, I thought the asking price for this game was quite fair.
[h1]보1지 보여줌 꼭1지 보여줌 H씬을 스킵하고 안 꼴림.[/h1] 이 게임은 올해 25년 2월7일에 마지막으로 업데이트 하고 유기되었습니다. CG들이 기본적으로 상당히 어두움. 전체스토리가 대략 1부, 2부로 나뉘어지는데 1부는 레즈+느와르 물이고 2부는 그냥 레즈+현대 판타지물임. 게임에 사용되는 영어단어들이 꽤 높은 수준의 영어회화 실력을 요구하기에 반은 이해하고 반은 포기하고 플레이 하게 만들었음. 게임 전체 분량에 비해 H씬 분량이 존1나 짧음. 도중에 서비스씬 같은건 종종 나오지만 교1미까지는 안 넘어감. 게다가 교1미장면도 존1나 빨리 끝남. 아니 무슨 일상생활 파트에서는 아주 세세한것까지 묘사해대면서 H씬은 CG좀 보여주고 "좋았다."라고 하고 이후 나올 내용들에 대해 읊다가 끝남. 아니 야게임이 이러면 안되지. 야한거 보려고 야게임을 샀는데 개발자가 야한걸 만들기 싫어했음. 게다가 CG들이 하나같이 안 꼴림. 전신에 문신한 사람들도 나오고 하드한 레즈도 하고 호불호 쌔게 갈리는 H씬들위주로 나오는데다가 H씬 만들기 귀찮았는지, 아니면 만들기 싫었는지 하나같이 성의가 없음. 더 적을 말도 없다. 비추천. 사지마라.
Für den aktuellen Preis von knapp unter 3 Euro eigentlich ein No Brainer - zumindest für Adult Visual Novel Liebhaber, die nicht unbedingt jede Menge Animationen haben müssen, oder eine Galeriefunktion. Die Grafik an sich ist recht nett - die Story interessant und die Charaktere durchaus liebenswert. Die Proportionen sind natürlich. Erinnert ein bisschen an True Blood. Spielzeit sind solide 7 Stunden plus. Wer also keine Angst vor ein bisschen Girl on Girl Action hat, sollte hier durchaus einen Blick riskieren. Muss mich tatsächlich über mich selbst wundern, dass ich dieses solide Spiel mehr als ein Jahr vollkommen übersehen habe. Klare Empfehlung von mir, speziell für unter drei Euro!
Awesome game! If you love adult novels with Yuri content then this is for you! Great stuff! Not too many choices. But nice story and nice renders.
This is Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines if one just removes the terrible combat and good writing and go straight for the porn. Which isn't bad, mind. The writing is more fun than literature, unabashed fetishistic indulgence, but nobody here is underage so that already puts this game above worse ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ e.g. Persona 5.
The music sounds poorly mastered, but I didn't really purchase expecting a good soundtrack. (I never listen to voice tracks in VN's, even when they are good, because it puts too much drag on my reading speed.) The writing is very trippy. I think some of the artist's actual intention is over my head, but I feel like there's enough irony and idiosyncracy to leave you peering into the space even if you are familiar with all of the idioms employed. The CGI scene composition is very expressive and well-thought. It is never just holding the characters in place for dialogue; the camera and the characters are always moving, and the lighting talks. There is a lot of suggestive and explicit sexual content, but it is designed to leave the reader with pleasant echoes rather than impose immediate compulsion. A scene near the end made the extremity of content in the series moving forward look like a voting issue. I would like to vote NAY. This is a good level; I like pleasant echoes.
I enjoyed this VN twice, and it's one of my favorites. The story is interesting and I'm very into the yuri flavoring of this story. I would definitely give any other games this developer should happen to make, a shot.
