This game is a lot of fun! Can be demanding on your system when your city becomes a metropolis, I had to lower some graphics settings to maintain better FR. There's a whimsy and sense mischief you get from playing this game, interacting with your nuggets never gets old and the Narrator is hilarious. Great way to pass the time!

A cute little god sim worth buying on sale. They are still updating all these years later, and it's def as close to black and white as we will get in the modern age.

highly addictive and well made. the narrator is funny. a unique game that definitely scratches that itch for a godgame/city builder.

Oct. 2024

It`s a funny god-mode game. You can help them, you can kill them, you can try mess other civilizations, and you can build a city somehow like a city a builder and evolve their knowledge until they reach the modern technology.
