Before the Darkness
♡ ABOUT ♡
The year is 2017, and Geto Suguru has announced a terrorist attack in Tokyo and Kyoto. You’re tasked with seeing possible futures to predict his moves. Despite everything he’s done, you never stopped loving him. So when you discover a way to go back and change his dark fate, you don’t hesitate.
But changing the past doesn’t come without consequences. Geto’s obsession with killing shifts into an obsession with you. Can you break the cycle of pain and tragedy, or will you become trapped in a fate worse than the one you tried to rewrite? Be Geto’s light… before the darkness consumes you both.

"what a nice day to be on itch- IS THAT GETO"
WORD FOR WORD WHAT I SAID
chat can someone tell me all the endings PLEASE
never watched jjk before but my friends said this isnt lore accurate. they said gojo isnt this big and hes more of a twink and that his blindfold isnt the right colour if his hair is white. idk. im here for the dating sim.
lol i can't tell if this is satire or not but gojo has a white blindfold in jjk 0 (which is set in 2017)!
Post escape goatjo is buff as hell. The prison realm made him work out and shit before getting sliced in half by sukubum
okay babes, I'm ready to go. Get the truck ready <3
I fear I just sobbed over the sad ending... I gotta play for the good ending now 😭
Edit: crying even more but its good reasons this time
THIS IS SO PEAK I CANTTT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PLEASE
IF U HAVE A PATREON OR A KOFI I WILL DONATE
guess I should learn to read warnings before downloading links in comment.... anyways, GREAT GAME!
yes lol omg
WAIT WHAT HAPPENS TO GOJO IN THE OG TIMELINE..
Right? I thought she would save Suguru and go back to the future and find him there, it's xeird she stayed in the past, does that mean she doesn't exist in the future since she left it? What happens until herself in the past caught up the 2017 timeline? I have so many question
Sameee! I thought the exact same thing because before she went into the mirror gojo said "come back in one piece" but she never did??
I got the bad ending and the happy ending, but how do I access file 11?
How do you get the happy ending
submit to the darkness twice
You got me crying with the first ending I got... then I read the comments and went straight to the surrender options.. and I cried too. Thank you so much for all your effort, this story was more than awesome, I loved it so much <3 I wished it was longer hehe
Eu chorei com os finais
Game: "The End"
Me: "WHAT THE FU--??!!!!!"
**sobbing**
WHY DO THESE CHARACTER NEVER GET TO BE HAPPY WHYYYYYYYYYYY
if you choose to ''surrender to the darkness'' it will be different with a good ending :D
god bless you <3 I just replayed it and it was such a beautiful ending
THANK YOU OMFG I WOULD HAVE CRIED IF THE BAD ENDING WAS THE ONLY ONE
TYSM!! Now k can sleep peacefully knowing there was a happy ending.
I love the story but I hope there's still more to it. I want them to be with each other again T.T
I haven’t cried this much in ages… I absolutely love the story, but it’s just too short and I wish there were more of it. 💔
I HATE YOU WHY WOULD YOU TO THIS TO ME IM GONNA CRY MY EYES OUT ONLY ONE ENDINGGGGG NOOOOOOOOOOOO
you know it has a happy ending too right? If you surrender to the darkness everytime you get a happy ending
you just cured my depression (and my whole life) tysmmm
the game is good but I didn't get that much romance with Geto like I expected and the eanding felt really rushed
Is anyone having trouble purchasing the full blessing? I've tried buying it with two of my cards and it keeps saying its declined (and no it isn't because of low balance or incorrect input I alr checked a dozen times)
forgot to mention I tried with the card option I don't have paypal
its problably cause of the whole cant buy nsfw things anymore on itch
作者求个汉化版
Is the author still around? I'd love to ask for your permission for a potential Wattpad story about your game. <3🗣
Everything is good, I like the drawing style but it would be better if one could choose the character's gender, the images were a little more explicit, and there was an option for the language in Spanish.
in her patreon u can find the game with more spicy content
heyyy where can I buy the full blessing on patreon? (I've never use patreon before and I'm kinda lost)
Dunno, I thought that on Patreon if you paid the 5 dollars you would get the full blessing file, but it seems not haha, only here on Itchio with Paypal
Hey there is a petition to stop the delisting of NSFW games here is the link to change.org for the petition. https://chng.it/42ZtbWNVnd
My apologies tried to aign but it didnt sign
Petition signed
we meet the goal
The story is really great! I played for hours, and my tears ran dry, except the English version made me a bit stumbling, I love the author
救命吧，11到底怎么解锁，不是说酒店和公寓都不反抗就能吗？我不反抗也没解锁啊
i liked game
i got no ideia what happend after the bombayah with geto help ;((
no entendí nada
this is so good
the games won’t load for me :(
omg this is insane!! i love the premise of the entire collection of games being made, like this whole project idea is so creative and so passion driven, its admirable! anyways, i loved this. i loved how it wasnt a game solely rooted in spicy scenes with an attractive character, but instead detracted from the og story and let it flow into something that was original and altered in a way that was so ambiguous, complex, and full of emotions! honestly, i loved the way geto was portrayed, the romance, the angst, the art... omg the attention to detail.. I CANT ITS ALL SO PERFECTTT
Never played this game before but I'm about to play it right now I don't think it's going to be good at all I just read the whole thing of the contents and I just read the whole comment thing guys you really think it's good I'm about to find out first time
just been stabbed??!! SUGU BABY IM SORRY
LOVE this!
I really loved it so much, it was a bit hard to get the good ending, but I finally made it at the end, and I am so satisfied!!!!
I don't know why it took e so long to play this one but as always the writing is chef's kisssss.
apani
Loved this so much but i cant help but wonder, What about the other gojo waitng for her outside the mirror? Losing another friend? What if while y/n is disappearing or finally living a good life, the other gojo is just standing there? Waiting and hoping that she'll come back? 🙁
girl how do we live a good life cuz ı am crying here
Can you please do a Yuji Itadori one, I really love your work it's well-scripted!
Also for the full_blessing does it make the game longer?
Hi! The chosen characters depend on the votes over on Patreon. And yes, the Full Blessing has two extra scenes.
Thank you for letting me know (:
Hey, so that's a 15 year old....
Who? geto? He was In his 20s when he died…
No! The OP asked for a Yuji Itadori one! That is a minor during the show and manga!
Oh... I didn't know, I thought that maybe by chance he could've been an adult but now I know that thank you (:
yuji is a kid :/
I wanna play this but it comes up with an error every time :(
