About this game

Summon demons to win the French Revolution! Will you uphold the Republic, restore the monarchy, rule France yourself, or lose your head?

"Revolution Diabolique" is a 425,000-word interactive dark fantasy novel by Chris Conley. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

As a demonologist in eighteenth-century France, you study the world’s most dangerous forbidden magic in the safety of your provincial estate. You can summon forth a breathtaking variety of demons: some creep subtly around your enemies to confuse and distract them; some appear as terrifying monsters; some guide you towards unlocking even deeper secrets of the universe.

Now that the flames of revolution are beginning to kindle, you cannot hold yourself apart from politics for long. Every faction - monarchists, republicans, peasants, intellectuals, anarchists - would love to benefit from your power. Where will you send your demons? Will you unleash their power on the battlefield to aid or hinder the Revolution’s armies - or march on Paris itself? Will you lead a political faction with the secret knowledge that you have gained? Will you inspire a new cult dedicated to demons?

But all power comes with a price, and as you rise up, you will need to sacrifice something: your reputation, your fortune, your safety…or possibly even your life.

When the dust clears, will it be you who rules France?

Ratings and reviews

I have enjoyed many of the offerings of Choice of Games, but this one was a real let down. They somehow made the French Revolution boring and this is a time period I love. There are quite a few bugs to report. A lot of the writing is overly mechanical. I want to feel like I am playing a character not dumping points into stat blocks. For a game that doesn't have an actual numerical amount of money to spend, the game reminds you how much money your character makes way too often. Just overall bland

Not worth the money. Finished in an hour, a lot of broken English but its some-what surpassable. For a game based in and around demons, they tend to be weak or incredibly hard to contact. This is only slightly better than that "In the name of the Tzar" Characters pop in and out sporadically with short one liners, I didnt care for any of the Characters. If I see a 5 Star review, a genuine 5 star review with the positives and negatives listed I will go back and try it again, but till then its a 2.

I didn't enjoy it very much, sadly. I wanted to like it, the character creation is good, but there are several problems. It is much too short, and it seems you don't get the opportunity to improve as much as you'd need to really make an impact, even when concentrating on one thing. I was surprised when the game ended, as I felt not much had happened with my character. I like many of this publisher's games, Revolution Diabolique, however, was a disappointment.
