Hello! I am creator of text-based games (which I guess is quite retro) and wanted to present to You one of them. "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. Altough game is playable and winnable now, I am still working on improving it, so all suggestions are appreciated.

PS. If You like my writing and tales with villain protagonists, You can also read my not-so-short dark fantasy/horror story: https://adeptusrpg.wordpress.com/2022/12/14/tale-of-the-necromancer/ or listen to its audio version: https://adeptusrpg.wordpress.com/2022/12/14/tale-of-the-necromancer/
I really love Interactive Fiction, this is definitely going on right on top of my to-play pile. Hopefully I can get it running with android as I’m in SE Asia ATM with no laptop/desktop. Eager to dive in!
