Text-based Simulator of the Dark Lord/Lady. Use your armies, cunning and magic to conquer Free Peoples.
"Dominion of Darkness” is an interactive fiction strategy/rpg text-based 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.
Hello! This is not set directly in the Lovecraftian mythos, but they were one of my inspirations. There are few direct references and there are some events and questlines which are supposed to give cosmic horror vibes.
