Dominion of Darkness is an IFstrategy/RPG text game (there are some 2D illustrations) 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.

Here is the prototype (but in this post I am searching for people to test new, extended and improved version): https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion

I am looking for people eager to help with playtesting - especially fluent in English. You will play at least once (one gameplay lasts about 1-1,5 h, because game is very non-linear and supposed to be be replayble), send me Your opinion, information about possible bugs, some details about stats achieved during it.

If You are interested, please write comment here or just send me Your email on chat.

PS. If You don't believe that game exists and think that this is some scam, here is one of the reviews of the prototype:

Since people are sharing their collections in lieu of physical games being phased out, here's my collection ranging from PS4, PS5, PSP and PSVita (bonus Nintendo Switch ;p)

The only game that's missing here is Black Myth Wukong which I got just a few hours ago making it my 60th physical game on the main Playstation consoles I have (4 and 5)

Pretty much all games I have are physical except for Sekiro and MGS collection.

In a recent video, the Expedition 33 director said that he wasn’t impressed by GTA 6 and isn’t very excited for the title either, and that Rockstar Games titles aren’t just for him, which is undoubtedly a surprising statement.

Guillaume Broche, in a Konbini YouTube video, talked about his experience with GTA games. He said that he picks them up, puts cheat codes in, and creates chaos for 30 minutes, and then he finds it just too boring for him.

Talking about GTA 6, he said that he is certainly looking forward to what the studio will do, especially because of the scale of its budget. However, it isn’t a game that necessarily impresses him or he is excited about.

French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon—of the left-wing party La France Insoumise—is pushing for new legislation on digital purchases amid Sony's announcement that it will cease physical game disc production in 2028.

"With GTA 6 set to be released as a disc-free title in 2026 and Sony's announcement that it will cease sales of physical game discs in 2028, the question arises as to how these products should be regarded,"

"In the future, you will pay without ever actually owning anything. No loans, no resale, and no guarantee that you will retain what you have paid for. Video games are not merely commodities; they are cultural assets, and current legislation must apply to them. We will launch this campaign in 2027. Gamers have rights too!"

Looking at the percentages of each console price hikes, Switch 2 seems like the right buy at the moment.

$300 increase is diabolical...

• Terminator 2 was the first film ever made with a production budget of over $100 million.

• Robert Patrick trained to breathe through his nose while running so he would never appear out of breath as the T-1000.

• Robert Patrick was so fast that he could actually outrun the motorcycle during some chase scenes.

• James Cameron storyboarded virtually every single shot in the movie, including car chases, often using toy cars to pre-visualize entire action sequences before filming.

• Rendering the T-1000 was incredibly demanding for 1991. Just 15 seconds of finished footage could take up to 10 days to render.

• The T-1000's liquid-metal effects were inspired directly by the water pseudopod created for James Cameron's The Abyss (1989), which served as a technological test run for Terminator 2.

• The iconic nuclear playground sequence combined miniatures, full-scale sets, mannequins and practical explosion effects. Very little of the destruction was computer-generated.

• There was no backup plan if the T-1000 CGI failed. Cameron built the entire film around technology that had never been proven at that scale before.

• Stan Winston and ILM worked side by side, often creating the same effect twice, once practically and once digitally, so Cameron could seamlessly blend both techniques in the final edit.

• Even though the T-1000 feels like a CGI character, more than half of his transformations on screen were achieved using prosthetics, puppets, clever camera tricks and makeup rather than computers.
