Explore this Dark and Forbidding World
The Dark Citadel is an Alexa skill available for free on all Amazon devices. It came out many years ago and I have since made thousands of updates to it. More recently, I rebuilt it to also be available and accessible from web browsers!

To play the game on Alexa, all you need to do is say "Alexa, open the Dark Citadel" and it will begin. There are things you can purchase in game, but you do not need to. They are optional, and all content can be played without ever paying a cent!
You can also play the game directly in the browser by using the link above! You have to be a member, but it is free to play!
This was the first thing I built when I learned how to code, so the evolution of this game is pretty much inline with the evolution of my capabilities as a software developer!
