People

People is a game in which you control an island and its native population as an omnipotent being. On a 20 km island, you build villages and towns, expand your influence and assign roles and tasks to villagers so your people can grow and thrive. You can explore the island, complete quests and missions, and play games and puzzles as you uncover its mysteries.

Build and gather

Place buildings, structures and objects, then direct your people to construct them. More buildings unlock as you progress. Assign villagers roles such as Food or Supplies to have them gather resources for the rest of the population.

Protect and grow your people

The island holds many dangers, so keep your population high to avoid extinction. Assign guards and train soldiers to defend your people and attack threats. You can also play as creatures and monsters and attack your own villages.

Expand your influence

Magic helps you thrive as a powerful being, and belief provides that magic. Convert worshipers to gain more magic and extend your influence.

Systems and interactions

The game features a hive mind AI/daemon system, blueprint crafting and building, destructible buildings and people, and AI systems for aging, hunger and breeding. The island also contains creatures, monsters and wildlife, with environmental interactions and tactile controls and magic designed to avoid excessive menus. You can pick up trees for resources, throw rocks, and pick up people to perform tasks or throw them. The setting has a medieval and ancient feel.
