Dominion of Darkness
"Dominion of Darkness” is a RPG/strategy narrative focused 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.

It's really good game! It's a mixture with dark fantasy and document Word)
Good game, something like less complicated Crusader Kings, but fantasy.
I like the style of almost all the images. But I would definitely add more art to the font and the buttons, and I wouldn’t leave any page without images at all.
The tutorial is a bit too long :)
But overall, I liked it. By the way, I actually lost at the end ).
Even though I am not the biggest fan of rpg’s I like this one I like how it reminds me of reading lord of the rings
I really enjoyed this game.
It’s not the kind of game I usually play, but I liked the idea of choosing actions and seeing how the story develops from them.
In my first run, I played as a darker character who wanted to build an army, but didn’t want to start a war unless there was a strong reason for it. It was interesting to see how the story unfolded based on that approach.
Nice concept, and I can see a lot of potential here. Good work!
I was skeptical about a text-based game at first, but I ended up spending a couple of hours playing it. I really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Nice game bro!
This almost feels like a single player D&D game! I like this, and am curious where the story goes.

slop slop slop sahur
It sounds like you're curious about the comments and why folks are commenting. I can't speak for others, but the creator DM'd me on reddit and asked for my review. Then I opened up the game, and played it and left my review. Did that answer your question?

Excellent game, I'd never played a text-based one before. Excellent! It would be great if it were also available in other languages, as this would involve more people and provide greater immersion.
I think this is a really cool game.
The artwork is quite interesting and makes the experience more enjoyable.
Overall, the game is very engaging.
I have to admit I don’t usually play this type of game, but this one really impressed me and I liked it a lot :)
