"Dominion of Darkness” is a strategy text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new.

Game is avalaible for free, online: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion

I am constantly improving the game, adding new content and mechanics, so Your feedback would matter.

If you are hesitant to play the game, I invite you to watch/listen to the reviews:

Welcome, and thanks for joining, @Adeptus. Thanks for sharing what you're working on. Feel free to share more about the game and roadmap in this thread.

Hello! Thank You very much!

Ok, in the meantime, I am still improving the game. Some of the things I added recently:

– extended endgame, especially for the Influence based characters – you conquered all kingdoms? Now secure your eternal rule by proving your divinity. Or, if you play as Destroyer of Live, carry out a world-scale euthanasia plan,

– new subplot – Rise of the Witchlands. Remember that fallen ancient civilization which ruins You could pillage? That is not dead which can eternal lie,

- extended economy - now You can destroy/help economy of the Free People in new and more meaningfull ways,

- extended Chosen One plot - now sometimes You can corrupt him.

Also - there is new review, in Choice Beat zine. You can read it below, or in the zine (page 30):
