A decent God game where you play an evil God.

It has the skeleton of a great game, but never quite achieved that potential so it just lives in perpetual mediocrity. If it's on sale, the game can be a fun time sink for a little while, there's fun little stories that develop as the game goes on which you can take an active part in and have fun with it. I was one of the backers of That Which Sleeps who saw this recommended as a game that, unlike that dreaded kickstarter, would be finished. Technically they were right, the game has been officially 'released'. Just sucks every fun evil god game falls into the same issue of never quite being loved enough to finish. Sad.

While enjoyable and largely 'finished', it's a shame the game has been left in this state - it has so much potential for story telling (Rimworld style) but most of that capacity is unrealized even after all this time. Still, it's a fun romp if you are psychopathic-minded and would enjoy ruining the lives of innocent villagers. Getting to 100% achievements was quite a slog (and then they added even more!).

The game is very fun, but its clearly not finished yet. It needs more variety. On enemies, more challenges, more necromancy (personal favorite xD)

MIXED REVIEW: It is pretty decent, but underbaked and overpriced. Wait for a sale, and consider whether or not you like this niche genre of game.
