Roma Tenebris

Immerse yourself in the life of an ancient politician. Join the mighty Roman Republic Senate. Negotiate, lie, bribe, compromise, force, manipulate - do anything to strengthen your positions. And do not forget to bring glory to Rome.

• Each game unique opponents are generated
• Five ways to influence them
• Ending depends on both plot decisions and in-game results

Roma Tenebris is a text-based simulation game with elements of startegy created in October 2023 for Bare-Bones Jam. It was an interesting, although a bit fatiguing, experience to try using Twine not only as a software for plot organisation but as a medium for coding. Finally, this is more of a sketch rather than a complete game, and still it represents some of the ideas and mechanics which could be implemented into a larger project.
