"Revolution Diabolique" is a 425,000-word interactive dark fantasy novel by Chris Conley. Experience this entirely text-based adventure, free from graphics or sound effects, powered solely by the boundless strength of your imagination.
As an eighteenth-century French demonologist, you master the world’s most perilous forbidden magic from the seclusion of your provincial estate. Summon a stunning array of demons: some covertly bewilder and mislead your foes; others manifest as horrifying beasts; while certain entities reveal profound secrets of the cosmos.
With revolutionary fires igniting, you can no longer remain detached from the political turmoil. Every faction—monarchists, republicans, peasants, intellectuals, anarchists—craves to exploit your powers. How will you deploy your demons? Unleash them on battlefields to sway the Revolution’s armies—or march directly upon Paris? Command a political faction with forbidden insight? Or perhaps spark a demon-worshipping cult?
Yet every ambition demands its sacrifice. As you ascend, you must surrender something dear: your honor, your wealth, your security…or even your life.
When the chaos subsides, will you be the one to rule France?
