How it feels

You step into the role of a newborn god, shaping a world through prayer and guiding a creature from birth, with a tentative, experimental feel of building and discovery.

What players say

Players widely recognize this as a spiritual successor to Black and White, but nearly all agree it is unpolished and rough. Performance problems persist for some, and the single developer communicates actively but the game still feels unfinished.
