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.

Fun game! Thanks for making and sharing
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 🤞
Is there a way to edit the stats or some cheat mode? I am shit at strategy
Sorry, but there is no such option.
Yes, you can edit the stats if the game stores its save data in your browser's
localStorage
. To do this, open Developer Tools by pressingF12
, go to the Application tab, and look under Local Storage for the game's save data. Once you find the relevant entry, you can either edit it manually or use the Console (F12
→ Console tab) to modify values. RunningJSON.stringify(localStorage);
in the Console will display the stored data, allowing you to find and change stats like gold, health, or troops. If needed, you can update values using a simple script to replace specific stats. After making changes, refresh the game to see the effects. Keep in mind that setting unrealistic values might break the game.I used the following script to edit my game stats:
let saveData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("(Saved Game BE2F21E7-A144-406A-8979-33809F73CD47) deedzapis"));
saveData.forEach(passage => {
if (passage.variables) {
if ("maxcondit" in passage.variables) passage.variables.maxcondit = 12;
if ("actcondit" in passage.variables) passage.variables.actcondit = 12;
if ("wealth" in passage.variables) passage.variables.wealth = 9999;
}
});
localStorage.setItem("(Saved Game BE2F21E7-A144-406A-8979-33809F73CD47) deedzapis", JSON.stringify(saveData));
This script retrieves the game's save data from
localStorage
and modifies specific stats. First, it useslocalStorage.getItem(...)
to fetch the save file, which is stored as a JSON string. Then,JSON.parse(...)
converts it into an object, allowing us to manipulate it. The script loops through the save data usingforEach
, checking each section (or "passage") for avariables
object, where game stats are stored. If the variables"maxcondit"
,"actcondit"
, or"wealth"
exist, their values are updated to12
,12
, and9999
, respectively. Finally,JSON.stringify(...)
converts the modified data back into a JSON string, andlocalStorage.setItem(...)
saves the changes. After running this in the browser's console (F12
→ Console tab), simply refresh the page (F5
) to apply the new stats.If you want to edit other variables, you just need to modify the script slightly.
good game super interesting
Great job with all the writing. Lots of passion here. That's what many games lack these days, Passion. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for taking the time to write this. This is amazing and so are you ! 👏
Thank You very much! I am happy You liked it.
Fun game didn't read the manual increased influence with the elf to 20ish failed, read the manual laughed
Nice game!
Love these type of games, especially in today's oversaturated FPS, hero shooter markets, there arent enough well thought out strategy games with passion behind them like this one!
This is a must buy!

very interesting premise and cool art!
Reminds me of a more advanced version of choose your own adventure books I used to play as a kid.
Started with a bit more reading than I'm used to, but every time I went to close it, I felt myself drawn to clicking to see what happens next instead.
this is just beyond amazing. Now days you can’t find these fun strategy games because no one makes them. But you dude, you are an amazing person. I hope you make more of these games in the future, I wish you luck, see ya !
Engaging story!
