You Are God

You Are God puts you in the role of a planet’s god, with control over its weather but not its life. You care for a new planet by adjusting sunlight and rain to create conditions where life can develop, while your actions affect the plants, animals and people that emerge.

Life on the planet

Plant life may develop when conditions are right, followed by animal life. Animals may eventually become sentient, form religions to address their fears and desires, and build societies. The people live according to their own free will, so you can guide and care for them but never control them.

Nations and religion

The planet has three continents, each with a nation that develops and operates according to its own rules. Each nation’s religion shapes those rules. If its people worship you, you have more influence; if you are unknown or despised, they may turn against you. Nations with different gods may fight, and their conflict could destroy the planet.

A possible future

As their technology advances, people may notice the stars, travel into space, colonize the moon and research other planets. The endgame goal is for them to discover another world and leave their home planet to colonize it. You can also use religious influence to keep them on their planet and under your care.
