Summon demons to win the French Revolution! Will you rule, or will you lose your head?
Summon demons to win the French Revolution! Will you uphold the Republic, restore the monarchy, rule France yourself, or meet the guillotine?
"Revolution Diabolique" is a 425,000-word interactive dark fantasy novel by Chris Conley. This text-based experience, without graphics or sound, is driven entirely by the limitless power of your imagination.
You are a demonologist in eighteenth-century France, studying the world’s most forbidden and dangerous magic from the safety of your provincial estate. Summon a breathtaking array of demons: some subtly confound your enemies, others manifest as terrifying monsters, and a few may guide you toward the universe’s most profound secrets.
As the flames of revolution ignite, you cannot remain aloof from politics. Every faction—monarchists, republicans, peasants, intellectuals, anarchists—craves the advantage your power provides. Where will you deploy your demons? Will you unleash them on the battlefield to aid or crush the revolutionary armies, or march directly on Paris? Will you lead a political faction with your secret knowledge? Will you inspire a new cult devoted to demonic forces?
But all power demands a price. As you ascend, you must sacrifice something: your reputation, your fortune, your safety…or perhaps your very life.
When the dust settles, will you be the one who rules France?
