How it feels

A relaxed god sim where you shape an island and decide how to care for or exploit your faithful followers.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call this the closest modern game to Black & White, though some note the creature is missing. Most praise the god gameplay loop, but a vocal minority says it feels unfinished and lacks content after a few hours. Reviews split on whether the soul grind and wonky controls outweigh the fun.
