Overview

The player takes the role of the deity of an island tribe, directing villagers through a series of levels set on separate islands. The Steam page lists building and growing a village with different villager jobs, casting miracles that help or punish the villagers, hidden objectives, time attack modes, hidden toys and unlockable cosmetic hands.[1] Steam describes six islands at the start of Early Access, while the Meta listing refers to nine.[1][4]

Updates during Early Access added a desert island and a holiday event in version 0.2.0 (December 2016), and a teleport-to-move option and a revised movement system in version 0.3 (July 2017).[5][6] In May 2019 the developer announced that "new management" at Empyrean Interactive was reviving the game.[7] The release that took the game out of Early Access, announced on 17 May 2019, added a final desert island level, a "Restore" spell that heals buildings and villagers, building health bars and a player height slider.[8]
