Want to be a deity? A hero of yours is totally ready to ignore your wishes. It's a parody take on MMORPG and levelling. Here you can do literally nothing, while your character progresses on his own, writing a story on the go. Or you could show this mortal your will and control him (unsuccessfully). Either way, it'll be lots of fun. And puns. Lots of them. The game requires persistent internet connection.

Great daily read and catch up whilst commuting ### 5/5 — The ultimate virtual pet *2026-05-11, version 11.5.1* My hero keeps me amused. I don't have to feed him. I occasionally give him praise and once in a while resurrect him. But for that small amount of work I usually am treated to a good laugh every day. I really enjoy the game's twisted and sometimes subtle humor. ### 5/5 — Best thing ever *2026-05-07, version 11.5.1* Literally the best game I’ve ever played, my life is fulfilled now. ### 2/5 — Fun but not *2026-02-04, version 11.4.1* Ideabox steals your ideas. You give the idea. They vote it down and repost it to pass the vote. Someone else gets credit. Never gave more ideas after this. The game is minimally controllable. Not very fun. ### 2/5 — Great game but I hate duels that are based on luck and pay to win with god remote. *2026-01-02, version 11.4.1* This game is amazing but sadly I feel duels are the only thing in this game that makes it lose so much love spending an hour in a duel to lose because someone is willing to pay is never a good feature. ### 5/5 — The game I keep coming back to. *2026-01-02, version 11.4.1* 14 years and I still keep playing this game. Very much a community based game. Love that I can enjoy it without getting addicted. ### 5/5 — Thank *2025-03-10, version 11.0.1* Thank ### 1/5 — Well, it’s a text rpg in that you can do barely nothing *2024-10-15, version 10.8.3* Boring aah thing ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2024-07-22, version 10.8.2* Personally I love this game. I love that I am basically just watching someone’s life unfold. I love that I don’t even have to spend time playing this game to advance, I love my heroines witty comments and that she has her own ideas and can say no to me. She’s infuriating sometimes especially when I take my eyes off her and she dies like a little idiot but I still love her. I love the amount of time the creators put into this game, all of the articles that I can read when i’m trying to figure out what happened. It’s a beautiful game. Though I do understand it isn’t for everyone. I tried to show this game to a friend of mine and they said why would I waste my storage on something I can’t play. Completely understandable but I think there’s beauty in a story and this one gives me a lot of good laughs. ## Frequently asked questions about Godville ### What is Godville?
