Looking for testers for the free politically incorrect Dark Lord Simulator

[Mishuk]

Dominion of Darkness is a strategy/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 are reviews of the prototype:

-

Why I am posting it here? Because, as I said - game is pretty politically incorrect. There are themes like slavery, genocide etc. Also - game is not meant to be parody, but there is some dark humour and it sometimes makes jabs at sacred cows - like tale of the ancient sorcerer-king who was so crazy that he demanded his subjects to pretend he is a women or how you can destroy kingdom with the peacefull orcish immigrants. There is also some optional romantic/light erotic content, but absolutely zero of LGBTXYZ. So I think it can be good place to search for the testers who will not make drama:)

Well, the game is the source :)

And now it is the time for the big update, focusing primarily on the endgame. Players focused on direct conquest will have new ways to find new battlefields - portals to crazy, Lovecraftian worlds, discovering new lands, and a magical slumber to wait for the rebirth of old enemies/the emergence of new ones (and seeing how the world changes in their absence). For players more interested in the less brutal side of world domination, the options for managing the territories of our empire will be expanded. Will you allow orcs to overrun Dark Elf cities? Will schools focus on training engineers for the army and economy, or on brainwashing them into blind obedience? Furthermore, I’m expanding the Dark Lord’s interactions with other characters, including available romances. Of course, new content requires testing, and since, as usual, it’s highly non-linear and dependent on player decisions (plus random generation), I can’t test every combination myself.

That’s why I’m seeking the help of testers. All you need to do is play once—one playthrough lasts about 1.5 hours (as I mentioned, the game is highly non-linear and is meant to be played multiple times, each time revealing a different story) and send me a short report (specifically, indicating if you’ve spotted any obvious bugs).

Game, as always, is available free here: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion No need for dowload or registration.

And another news - one of the players made a fan song inspired by the game:

Can't you just draw pixel art / fiverr commission for the graphics instead of using AI content? I looked at your itch.io comments, a lot of people have noticed and it might detract from exposure / sales / donations

Hi, making commision would need much money (I remind that the game is free) and tedious collaboration with an artist. Also, AI hate is not as common as some people think - most of players don't mind, some were even saying they like it.

Ummmm, what?
