What's the game like?

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Its like a blend of Populus and Creatures.

Youre a god and have to look after your villagers (or torture them into submission/worship) and keep them safe from a rival god, the more villagers you have the more belief (mana) you get, and you've got a giant creature as a pet that learns from you to help.

I got annoyed with a quest and threw the quest-giver-villagers into the sea. My pet saw me do that and decided thats what we should do. He went back and forth from the village throwing every villager into the sea one by one and completely destroyed my run.

10/10 experience.

Same here but after prototyping, the issue is that the game would require you to face down which is a very good position in XR.

Omg, beating the crap out of your creature would be so awful lol.
