"Dominion of Darkness" - simulator of Dark Lord/Lady

"Dominion of Darkness” is a strategy/RPG 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. Game is playable and winnable, but still - I want to expand it with new parts of the story and reworked mechanics. So I am open for suggestions of community.

I never used ChatGPT, it is made with Twine.

Thanks for playing.
Yes, there is issue on some iPhones, on some of them online version is displayed as dark letters on dark background. I am not sure why, probably because of something with itch.io, because downloadable version works always alright. Dominion of Darkness 1.962+

Thank You for playing! Hope You have at least a but of fun. Did You saw any bugs? Have You any suggestions?

Thank You! Well, one of the features avalaible in new version will be choosing Your consort, but it definitely will not be oglaf level of sexiness (and be rather tertiary element).

Hello! I'm still working on the game and plan to release a new version soon. But new content and features mean the risk of new bugs and balance problems, so I'm looking for testers. Is anyone interested in helping me test the new version?

OK so it is time for the promised update!

Some new things in this version are:
- harpies and serpentmen are now reruitable for Tempter character,
- new expedition to Witchlands, land once ruled by civilization older even than Your character,
- new possible way to victory by discovery of ancient secrets and accomplishment of the magical Great Work, including new endings,
- male Tempter and Warmonger can take a consort, which brings mechanical benefits and story elements,
- choice of element your character specialize in. It has influence on spellcasting and unblocks some new events;
- new ways for defeating enemy kingdoms, connected with profession of your character. Warmonger can initiate full-scale total ware between elves and dwarves, Destroyer of Life can start vampire apocalypse, Tyrant can summon hosts of angeldemons from Infernal Heaven and Temptress can seduce king Janos.

And of course many lesser changes, fixes and new events.

Some plans for the future:

- make elemental focus more significant by adding big questchains connected to it - e.g. as Water focused character You will be able to wake ancient sea leviathan and as Fire focused one, to create your own fiery "Mordor",

- add some new "final bosses" with which You will have to deal after conquering Free Peoples,

- add new special ending in which You go back in time to won first war (mentioned in prologue).
