Very well written game. I finished my run in about an hour. The world feels inmense and alive. About the story, that is good overall, what stand out the most for me are some memorable moments - especially encounters with other characters - in which the decisions felt very real and personal.
I really enjoyed Dominion of Darkness. What stood out to me most is how much depth there is behind the initial premise. Playing as the Dark Lord is a great concept on its own, but the game actually builds its mechanics around it instead of using it simply as a different perspective on a typical fantasy story.
The worldbuilding is probably one of its strongest aspects. There’s a lot of lore, different peoples, characters and history behind the setting, and it gives the feeling that there’s much more to discover beyond a single playthrough. I also really liked the visual style – the illustrations complement the dark fantasy atmosphere very well and give the game a strong identity.
The RPG side is surprisingly elaborate too. Character development, magic, agents and commanders, armies, intrigue and different ways of approaching your goals make your choices feel meaningful. I especially liked that the game gives you several ways to behave like a Dark Lord rather than reducing everything to simply choosing the “evil” dialogue option.
There’s clearly a huge amount of work behind this project, and the combination of interactive fiction, RPG and strategy works really well. It’s also impressive how much has been built on top of Twine.
Great work! I’m curious to see how Dominion of Darkness continues to develop.
What really works here is how the mechanics give actual weight to playing an antagonist, rather than just giving you cosmetic 'evil' dialogue options. The dark fantasy tone comes through strongly in the narrative pacing and I really like the “document” style
The blend of art and textual story-telling makes this a page-turner video game. It’s accessible and pretty easy to pick-up and learn how to play. I don’t quite know how to consider the story, it’s mythology, which I like but don’t fully understand. That’s OK.

Absolutely loved it! It can be done in an hour so if you love a text based game.
Choices have consequences which is always a huge plus for me and thats what i always look for. Thanks for the adventure.

playthrough, didn't edit out long pauses while I wrote notes on the game.
Trailer I made for one of my games.
Border I designed for the top of the description to seperate from game text if you want to use it.
And how it looks when I used it for one of my pages.

Great, well done!
A very interesting dark fantasy strategy experience that combines politics, corruption, and society through meaningful choices.
It would be even better with more visuals and sound effects, but the narrative style works very well.
Very enjoyable!!!
Well done, gives me Lone wolf vibes!
