Our take on Revolution Diabolique
Its defining detail is the large-scale text format: a 425,000-word interactive novel with no graphics or sound effects.
What is Revolution Diabolique?
This 425,000-word interactive dark fantasy novel places a demonologist in eighteenth-century France during the Revolution.
Players can summon demons to influence political factions, assist or obstruct armies, confront personal enemies, or pursue power in Paris. Choices include supporting monarchists, republicans, peasants, intellectuals, or anarchists, seeking faction leadership, building a palace, and bringing demonology into elite salons and universities. The protagonist can be male, female, or nonbinary, with several possible sexual orientations and romantic paths involving a professor, military veteran, or philosopher. Political advancement may cost reputation, fortune, safety, or life. Possible outcomes include losing one’s head, ruling France, or transcending death. The game is entirely text-based and has no graphics or sound effects.
