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.

Nice!
Awesome aesthetic, really exciting stuff!
Love the atmosphere in this game, very old school vibes.
Very creative! love the concept
Love the aesthetics and the concept of the game !
Very retro, and intriguing premise. Works so well in the browser.
[Spoiler alert!]
So far I've lost twice. At least once I've made it to the final, but the King of Pain got me at the end. Story is well written and doesn't get boring. Nice game for a few entertaining, nostalgic and dark hours...
Amazing and fun, I really liked it
Reminded me of old school RPG games, I enjoyed it!
Great concept! o7
Wow what great game how come I haven't heard about this before. So interesting and addictive.
Wow, this looks amazing! The art style is so unique and the gameplay seems really fun. You’ve done an excellent job bringing everything together. Can’t wait to see more of this project!
Just a heads up, the Mediafire link for the offline version goes to 2.75, though the text is the URL for 2.87 so you can just copy and paste it to get the right file.
Thanks for the info, should work now.
Got Nagasaki'd by the Dwarves, LOL
Thanks for playing. I hope that You had some fun losing :)
It's an extremely fun game. Something I always wanted to read through.
In the 2nd day of the final war, I noticed the following typo of repeated text.
Thanks for playing and observation!
Even as a prototype this has a ton of stuff in it! It's been a while since I played a text-based game this was a nice trip down nostalgia lane :)
Cool game! Loved the writing and decision-making feature. Liked the idea of playing as a villain POV.
ok, this is prototype, but this game is amazing and fun!!
Thank You very much!
fun game. I’ve only played once, I’m about to go again, I did notice it said ruch the elves near the end instead of rush. That’s the only mistake I’ve found.
Thanks! I will look for this error.
Thank you for the experience, very creative!
Great job! So many work have been done there!
Amazing game, would definitely recommend
I love story centric games
10/10
your "choose your own adventure" is cool but too long to read but it's cool though! 7.5/10
so cool!!! 100/10✨✨✨✨✨
Neat!
Keep up the good work! 😍
Love me some text adventures and this is fantastic! 🪦🩸🖤😈
Cool
cool cool cool
A lot of work and care went into making this. And lots of replay value too! I recommend this to any text-RPG and adventure junkie wholeheartedly!
this is deep! Love it
I really enjoyed the universe. I also really enjoy the black and white simplicity of the art and the text itself:)
This is a remarkable effort. Needs you to dedicate some time reading but it is worth it.
Thank You very much! I am developing it mostly in weekends or afternoons after the work.
I love the choices, excellent prose and a unique and compelling game. I highly recommend giving it a play! Love that I can play it in browser.
Thank You very much, I am happy You liked it.
Liking it so far... keep up the good work!
Simple but nice visual novel with Choose you own path vibes!
Fun game! Thanks for making and sharing
Thanks for playing, feedback and rating!
hello. I haven't played this game in two years. It's still pretty fun, but the issues in my last comment still remain. In fact, I am on my destroyer of life run and I spread a pestilence in the elf kingdom, but the continue button either isn't there or I cannot focus it with my screen reader, so I'm stuck.
And I am still baffled about this bug. The more I look at the code, the more it looks OK. Of course I am not claiming what You are saying is not true, just have no idea what causes this bug.
I tried the same with the other races and it works fine. It is only the elven kingdom that doesn't let me continue.
Thanks for the info and sorry for Your inconvenience, I will take a look at it once again. BTW, when You see something like that, please send me print screen of the bugged scene - stats at the bottom included. It will greatly help me to find the bug (there is possibility that in occurs with some specific values).
Great game, great that it works on android mobile !
Thank You very much!
Good Game 🤞
