A Shot in the Dark is a choice-driven adult 3D visual novel about new possibilities and dark secrets. Navigate romance, relationships, and rivalry as a young man during your first semester of college. Can you make a fresh start, or will the past catch up with you?
Your choices matter
Choose wisely. There is no right or wrong. There is no one “happy path.” From the first chapter to the last, your decisions can have permanent impacts on the story. Many branching story paths—each with its own joys and tragedies—will eventually lead you to one of the multiple endings.
Compelling characters
Ten main love interests represent a variety of body types, personalities, and skin tones. Your choices will decide how each relationship progresses and whether lewd scenes are revealed. Additional romanceable characters will be included based on Patron polling and requests.
Transparent gameplay
The mystery is in the story, not the gameplay. You will always know what aspects of the game your choices affect, for optimal replayability. No grinding or pointless minigames to stretch out the content. Every mechanic is designed to move the story forward, not to slow it down.

Cheat mod doesn’t work!
So is “shot in the dark” slang for blowing it in a black chick?
Do you have to screw the monkey?

Thanks for the game code! Fun, sexy game! Will take a while to play…
Yup, they are the biggest racists anyways, they are raised to hare whites.
Are the mod and unlocker for an earlier version? They break the game.
From TheOmega games Prince of Suburbia is still better for me… One of my fav. games always…. But i don’t mean this game is worst, this games is also not too bad
Ok I was wrong. This MC is one of the biggest derps I’ve ever come across reading AVNs. I hate him. I had to fast forward through this beautiful game because reading the MC’s dialog is like listening to nails on a chalk board. It’s impossible for me to suspend believe and enjoy the story as the MC. Every single word out of his mouth demonstrates one of the following:
1 – MC is a constantly embarrassed pathetic loser that no one likes who has no confidence, does everything wrong and never knows what is going on around him. Even after he’s banging chicks all over campus.
2 – MC is incapable of understanding or speaking English. Mainly he speaks using words like “But!? What? Huh? I don’t understand? Are you serious? Really?”. MC also loves to answer a question with a question.
3 – MC is one of the stupidest people alive and cannot understand sarcasm, sexual innuendo or humor. Example: “Girl: I really want you to hammer me tonight. MC: I don’t even own a hammer! Should I go and buy one?! What are we going to be hammering?”
4 – MC is deserves sympathy because it’s not my fault! Feel sorry for me!
5 – MC would rather have pointless and moronic conversations in his head rather than pay attention to the blowjob he’s currently receiving.
Let’s look at his conversation with Monica the photography teacher in her office. Even after she tells him TWICE to just call her Monica, not Ms. KAPOOR, mom, mistress or Miss Monica he continues on to get it wrong ELEVEN TIMES.
– – – – –
MC: Yes, Miss… Professor… Ms. KAPOOR
Prof: Please. We’re both adults here. Call me MONICA.
MC: Yes, Mom… I mean, Mom-ica… MONICA! I mean MONICA.
Prof: For now… Just MONICA will suffice.
MC: Yes, Miss- I mean, MONICA. Just… Monica.
MC: Yes Mi- MONICA. I promise…
MC: Sorry, mom. I mean MONICA.
MC: Thank you, Miss… Mistress… I mean, MONICA.
MC: Yes, Miss MONICA.
MC: I mean… just MONICA. I mean, yes. MONICA.
MC: Yes Miss MONICA… Anything you say, Miss.
MC: Yes, mom- I mean, Miss. I mean, MONICA.
MC: Thank you, Miss MONICA.
MC: See you then, Miss MONICA.
Now let’s look at his self deprecating behavior. Kevon and MC talking about TapThat. MC sure loves saying “What if” in a negative way.
– – – – –
MC: What if I don’t match with anyone?
MC: What if… I do get a match?
MC: (I’m not sure what would be worse… Not getting any matches or actually getting a match and having to go through with it.)
MC: I mean… What if I do get a match? What then?
MC: What if I totally fuck it up?
MC: That’s the part I’m worried about.
MC: I wouldn’t even know what to say.
MC: What if she thinks I’m boring?
I can’t fathom why a developer would make this gorgeously animated and rendered game only to destroy it with this intolerable writing. I just can’t understand it.
Thanks for the heads up, saves me some time. Can’t stand a pussy as beta MC, much less a retarded one.
this is not self made renders but premade. that’s why people could make their own games and if you play enough games here or any other sites most of them is just reused model, same face, same clothing etc just a little adjustment.
Can you at least give us an expectant date for the next chapter or at least have the decency to tell us that there will no longer be any updates to the story.!!
It’s truly a shame how good ‘A Shot in the Dark’ is. If you invest in ViM for THIS game, save your money. Visual Novels take a lot of time and work. That being said, seeing more posts about their other projects than this game on their Patreon and 30% progress for CH.4 in the last 6 months, it looks like this game isn’t a priority.
what on earth are you talking about? chapter 3 only dropped in December, 2023. you know, 2 months ago? 6 months on chapter 4? your math is seriously messed up. try actually looking at the patreon page and you’ll see the progress of chapter 4. while they may have been working on parts of it for the last few months, it was after the similar parts of 3 were completed, while the more intensive processes were being done on 3. renders and animations take time. ranting here about it, where dev likely doesn’t even see it, is wasted time. and it’s wrong, anyway.
My guy, the update for chapter 3 dropped on 15th February 2023, that is 389 days or 1 year 24 days. The release of chapter 3 December was only on steam for December, when they changed the pricing AND put a early release price tag for dev logs at their patreon.
Interesting story, but poor graphic models.
Honestly, pretty underrated. A lot of potential with this one and in terms of writing quality, blows their other game completely out of the water, while even sharing some of the same kinks. For an AVN the women are shockingly written quite well and it is worth a couple replays even at this point to get to know them. I also really appreciate the game being a bit more grounded in reality and I don’t mind the lack of a brain dead blow up doll harem. Sometimes a game can be just as fun getting to go back vicariously, and wonder if I had picked this girl instead and getting a quality character arc/connection out of it as well.
This game is pretty anti-incel, so I can see why it rubs some guys the wrong way though. Feelings, respect, and fidelity, pretty scary mate. One of the few games I’ve played, on here, I would even come close to describe as female-friendly, so there is that if it would apply to you.
