Dominion of Darkness
"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. Feedback is very much welcome. Very, very much.
Maybe You played in my other game with the same premise - "Malefactor". I want You to know, that "Malefactor" was just a demo. This version is much much more elaborate, with more content and mechanics.

In the game there are few main love interests and full extended romances:1) Kiriela, fallen paladin who treats Dark Lord with religious devotion 2) Polena, young vampire lady, torn between good manners, innocence and bloodthirst 3) Airen, tomboyish dark elf pirate, 4) Namaah, sensual but cunning succubus 5) Meroe, serpentwoman, alchemist and inflitrator, a bit cold at the start.

Thanks You very much!
very fun game and doesnt bore me out!
Interesting idea!
Really Good Art style and i like the story too. Overall Great game.
This game reminds me the "game books" I used to read when I was a teenager. In a good sense. You know, where you need to go to the page number dependent of your choice. Nostalgia. The more I read, the more immersed I become. Good stuff! I wonder, is it possible to make this game for an e-ink book readers? Anyway, game needs a dark theme option.
Really interesting. Cool story.
I liket the art style. Try using unity.
That's a really interesting idea, as you read, the story is very immersive. Great job and keep it up!
first look...AI left and right. get this shit off of platforms that value hard work.
And I value free speech, so I am not deleting this comment :) Thank You for trying to play and sharing Your feedback.
Looks like a really good story, but sadly I don't got enough time to read it all 😭
Great game bro!!! You got talent for this!!
