Hi! I wrote about this problem in the game description on itch.io. “I heard that itch version sometimes doesn’t work on the phones with Android. If it is the case, You can play downloadable version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pj1ebcl1ke56cgs/Dominion_of_Darkness_1.993.html/file It works fine even when online version don’t - I don’t know why”. Sorry for invonvenience but at this moment this is only 100% working solution I found.
I had this feeling with two first books too.
I am reading “Dread Wyrm”, third book in the Traitor Son Cycle by Miles Cameron. Plot and world are OK, but I have feeling they are written in clumsy style.
Hmm, I think that concept of text-based game is quite retro, so this is good place for searching people who would be interested in something like that.
