Foundation of Nightmares Demo

No fantasy story is complete without a demon bent on destruction, given the fact that there’s no place for heroes if they have nothing to fight. However, RPGs make sure that you experience the journey from the beginning, including the hero’s humble beginnings before he or she was able to cut giants in half with a single swing of the sword.

Foundation of Nightmares is a text-based adventure game with role-playing elements, in which you get to change every aspect of the story through your actions. The game does not feature any graphics or music, so you are forced to imagine everything by yourself. Thankfully, the writing is strong enough for that not to be a problem, especially if you are an avid reader.

In case you are not aware of it, Foundation of Nightmares is actually the second entry in a series, so you are able to import a character at the beginning of the story. Even so, you can create one on the spot by answering a few questions to decide your character’s personality. This also affects your skills, since you can take advantage of many talents to defeat enemies or charm your way around them in some cases.

Since many things about your character can be changed, you can also attract a few romantic partners along the way. This depends on what you say and how you say it, because just like in real life, it’s very easy to blow your chances if you are not careful. As you might expect, there are no restrictions on the kind of relationship you may be interested in, including straight, gay or bisexual.

Lastly, the choices you make along the way can also bring you to one of many possible endings, so you can easily go through the story again and again without getting bored in the process. You can even experience new events after a couple of playthroughs, given the fact that the story features over 100,000 words. Granted, all of this must take place in your head, since there are no graphics to help you along.

Although you may have heard hundreds of fantasy stories by now, it’s always a thrill to decide how things evolve through your actions, and Foundation of Nightmares allows you complete freedom in this regard. Thus, it should be a great choice for text-based fans everywhere.
