Welcome Apprentice of Darkness!

Welcome Apprentice of Darkness! This is my evil little passion project.

It’s a turn-based strategy game where you don’t save the world—you corrupt it. You lead hellish armies across a continent, spreading darkness, capturing enemies, and sacrificing them (sometimes dramatically) to power up your Tower of Darkness.

Also, the weather changes every few levels. Not because it affects gameplay much, just because I thought it would look cool. Priorities.

There’s dark humor, terrible decisions, and a lot of Very Bad Things. It’s all going on Steam, and if anything in the trailer makes you chuckle or go “oh no” in a good way, a wishlist would genuinely help a ton.

Here’s the trailer! Let me know what you think, or tell me I’m going to strategy hell. I accept both.
