Welcome to Crest, an indirect god sim where you take care of humans as if they were your own children. But your only way to interact with them is by issuing commandments written in a pictographic language.How these commandments are interpreted and remembered is not set in stone. What you communicate and what experiences your followers have with the environment is the basis for their religion. Over time, commandments can develop different associations and completely change their meaning. After all, your followers still have a free will and will sometimes do what they think is best for them, regardless of what you had in mind. Consequences of your actions may not always be clear and you will need to be aware of the ever-changing environment and your people's disposition, amongst others their disposition towards you. Expressing yourself is the key of Crest; you will do so through your people and the world they shape.Key FeaturesExplore the high-concept of religion by building your ownInteract with your followers by issuing commandments using a pictographic languageProgress by unlocking new words, slowly increasing the complexity of your commandmentsObserve how your followers evolve as a result of your decisionsMicromanage a world where weather, vegetation, mineral deposits, drought and animal behavior will create surprisesExpress yourself in a game without end-goal nor winning condition, allowing you to purely focus on building your legacy in a world where you are the god of everyoneProgression and LosingEvery new world you start is unique and will write its own little stories.
