Lord of the Dungeon, heroes are coming!

Slay or Fall is a text-based roguelike with management elements, in which you must overcome an impending foe within a set number of events. Playing as the Dark Lord, you are set to take control of an enormous Dungeon while brave heroes are coming to take your life! Use magic, scheme, and issue orders to your subordinates — just make sure to defeat the heroes before the final clash!
The multifaceted text events contain numerous branches, with every choice you make having consequences that affect both the heroes and the player!
Between events, you'll need to engage in combat skirmishes and tackle political issues, where the player's decisions also carry weight!

Will your subordinates help you?

Under your dominion reside four factions: Goblins, Cultists, Lizards, and Ratfolks. Not all of them are pleased with your rule...
Goblins - greedy and dishonorable creatures. Their sheer numbers and insatiable lust for profit fill your treasury with jingling coins.
Cultists - your endlessly loyal subjects. Dark mages willing to stake their lives for your victory! As a result, they are few in number...
Lizards - warriors of honor and brute force. They hold little affection for magic, dedicating themselves to logistics within the Dungeon.
Ratfolks - pesky beings who can never accept their fate! They are the most actively resistant to your will. Yet, by subduing this people, you can harness their espionage and assassination skills for your own needs...

Replayability

The game is designed for multiple runs. A variety of presets, diverse heroes, and text events with different outcomes and consequences all ensure that you keep coming back for more!
Defeat your foes as cunningly as you desire! Kill the heroes in battle, vanquish them in your domain, let them starve, corrupt their minds, lower their morale, orchestrate conspiracies, and sow discord among travelers!

So what are you waiting for, Sire? Make the heroes flee without delay!
