the sky will start to grow dark and threatening, the hand will become demonic and followed by noxious smoke, and the temple will grow spikes and generally look really badass. For a god who decides to sic wolves on neutral or enemy villages, make your subjects worship you until they die, feed the corpses to your Creature, then throw around a few fireballs for light relief. A god who sends rainclouds to the fields, heals the sick, builds homes for the people, and gently converts neutral or enemy villages with cute doves will eventually rule a land suffused with light, where rainbows arc the sky and trains of sparkles follow the god's hand, and your Citadel, or temple headquarters, becomes a white Disney-esque tower of beauty and joy. You also eventually acquire a Creature, a somewhat autonomous giant animal that can learn various tasks and spells from you.īut the interesting part about this game is that the environment changes depending on what sort of a god you are. You can pick things up and move them around, and cast miracles by making gestures with the mouse. The core concept of the game has you taking on the role of a god, represented by a disembodied hand, ruling over various tribes on various islands.
A Simulation Game released by Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios in 2001.
