## Diabolical Description
Start practicing your evil laugh! As the world's greatest criminal mastermind, choose a lair, hire a minion, and steal the world's largest ball of aluminum foil! (Or, destroy the world. FINE.)

"Diabolical" is a 130,000-word interactive novel by Nick Aires, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Famous, feared, or filthy rich—why not all three? You've got the money and the motives to build an evil empire worthy of the most ruthless villain the world has ever seen. Crush the good guys and terrorize the populace! Stamp a big red "FAIL" on your enemies' foreheads! Plunder your way to world domination – or sit back and pet your kitty while your henchmen do it for you.

Will you be a high-tech daredevil, a ruthless military soldier, or an apparition terrifying to behold? What calling card will you leave at the scene of your crimes? Whatever your choices, the results will be diabolical.

• Play a villainous story of scheming, grandstanding, and laughing evilly.
• Interview and hire the best possible (or best available) minion.
• Decide when to use trickery, when to use force, and when to hide behind henchmen.
• Choose the ultimate, guaranteed-to-be-infamous nickname.
• Play as male or female, with straight, gay, and bisexual romance options.
• Destroy the world!

## Diabolical Reviews in United States

### ****- "Review"
Very interesting premise and it’s very well written. Honestly I’m very impressed by what you can do. I’ve never really been the hero or the villain type which is why I like this game. Typically villains are too foolish and heroes are idealistic. This game allowed me to be a good villain and to me that’s helping the people whilst also providing for your henchmen. Honestly a great game and this is only what I got from 2 chapters. Fun to play sadly you have to pay to go further. Thus I’m only able to rate it based off the 2 free chapters and the fact you have to pay to play any further. The writing and story and gameplay are great but that is only up to the 2 chapters I’ve played through.
-- lil marshmaple, 2022-11-28

### ****- "I love this"
Don’t change anything about this game but please do more like it. It’s the best one of the rest of you’re games
-- Bug fix???, 2019-03-17

### ***-- "Not serious enough for me..."
Don’t get me wrong, great idea! Getting to be the bad guy of your own world? Brilliant!

But with this? I don’t feel like a villain... I feel like another edgy teenager that wants to be taken seriously. 

This is mainly in part as to what choice you have, besides having some be completely pointless, most just feel silly... and I’m not talking ‘The Joker’ kinda silly, cuz with him he’s still scary as his silly antics lead to a dangerous outcome... this, however, fails to make me feel like a threat.

Still a good game & a beautiful concept... just- a poor execution.
-- Nerthan, 2018-09-04

### *---- "Money"
My parents are never going to let me buy the 499 part but I really
-- Bluerexforeal, 2018-08-04

### *---- "Jerks"
Forcing people to pay money.
-- Dujajsisyshs, 2018-06-27

### *---- "Overpriced"
They only have like two actual free games the rest are overpriced
-- Jhamnezzz121, 2018-06-14

### ***** "Best choice game ever"
This was absolutely the best choice game I have ever played. It had a great plot, a lot of funny moments, and lots 'o' lovely characters and choices to make. Although I wish there were a longer story and maybe more choices. Also I wish it weren't that easy to kill Dr. Arachnus. I'm going to download more choice of games games and I also purchased the rest of the story with no. Hesitation at all. Thanks you!!
-- MomSocks, 2017-11-08

### ****- "I don't know"
I really liked the free trial but I'm a little hesitant to spend 5$ on the whole thing.
If we're being honest here though I probably will buy it.
Alas, my will is soft and easily broken. Curses. And thanks.
-- Jsjdjdjdjjdashshr, 2017-08-29

### ***** "Awesome"
Worth the money, loved this game!!
-- McNamara92, 2017-06-12

### **--- "Was fun"
Until they charged five dollars for the whole game
-- eofishhead, 2017-06-05

### ***** "Phenomenal Store"
This was an incredibly engaging story that surprised me on many occasions with just how wacky it could get. A great choice game for people looking to entertain the villain inside themselves!
-- MADboy6, 2017-06-03

### ***** "Soo Good"
I would pay for a sequel for this game
-- Bundy b, 2017-05-26

### ***** "Werewolf game"
I have yet to play a Choice of Game that I didn't like. I see you have a vampire story but not a werewolf. I would be ecstatic if you could release one sometime in the future. That being said, diabolical is one of my favorites. Got to love when the protagonist is the main character.
-- Ragglefragle, 2017-05-08

### ***-- "Okay"
It didn't really give you a lot of choices, but the writing was experienced, and humor was implemented accordingly. However, I think it would make it a little better if there were more choices that could affect the story further.
-- Scorpio and Little Dipper, 2017-03-28

### ***** "It is awesome and I have a idea"
This is by far one of in not my favorite choice of game it is great I've played through multiple times and I have a idea I like games that allow you to be the villain so I think you should make a choice of alien were you play as a alien general or something and you choose ways to conquer planets you can have a love life maybe with other species and in one ending you become the ruler of your race or something thank you for your time
-- Game lover 645678, 2017-03-07

### ***** "Trick"
The game only gives you 2 chapters then you pay 4 dollars other than the ripoff it's a good game please fix that
-- Anonymous Mr.E, 2017-01-16

### ***** "Awesome!!!"
This was amaaazing!
-- Aphrodite Sarkisian, 2016-12-29

### ***** "Effin amazing"
Though the only part of this game is free, i really enjoyed the concept and options. A good mix of cartoony and action.
-- Queen_Chelsie, 2016-12-12

### ***** "dang"
very endearing. beautifully written and interesting characters. more than anything: unbelievably funny! definitely a bit of a change from most other games by choice of games, but i really enjoyed it.
-- bad pearl, 2016-11-03

### ***** "Sequel"
This game, along with choice of the dragon, needs a sequel
-- McDi2313, 2016-10-15
