Not worth it

Not worth the money spent it’s a short story game also tip for games trust the critical reviews their more truthful

This is amazing but too short:(

This game was genuinely great and I actually had fun reading and imagining things for the first time in over a decade however I must say I feel it ended very abruptly and felt a little short there was also many things that didn’t really get used much such as the race strength or the race population it was still really cool to see it fluctuate throughout the story but towards the end of the game (SPOILERS) it feels almost as if your choices do not matter too much e.g you have to stop two gods from fighting and you can choose who to banish but if I banish the one starting with n (I can’t remember his name) nothing really happens besides a comment he makes it is never brought up again and it is treated almost as if it never happened. I think that if there was a part two (I would 100% buy it) the choices made in the first game really change the course of the second part e.g if you killed off ur mortals then obviously you have no mortals anymore but if you let them live and taught them space travel they grant you power or anger other gods because they took over their mortals or something. In other words the story was amazing but cut off too early and needs a sequel.
