You play a god who wins over villagers by kindness or terror, while raising a giant creature that learns from how you treat it. It was a bold experiment in AI and moral choice.
Kit's verdict · 7.6/10
A brilliant creature you'll remember, stuck in a god game that's often a chore.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Your creature really learns from you
- Good-versus-evil choices change the world
- Gesture-based miracles
Not so much
- Micromanaging villagers is tedious
- The creature can be frustrating to train
Play it if players who like experiments, pets and moral choices.
Skip it if anyone who wants a tight strategy game.
