I hope I like this game hopefully
- Crystal Jackson
you barely get started when the game gives you two options. quit or pay 4 bucks to play the next chapter. there's no option to watch ads to continue. complete waste of time if you don't want to spend money.
- Deb Wikoff Kuehl
It is stuck behind a paywall after 2 chapters which Is Not good for F2P players while I like the idea I'd rather have ad then paywall
- John Smith
good game, definitely not free though. don't care for that kind of deceit.
- Paul montoya
Too Fast, not enough variation. Only good for 1 and a half playthroughs. I was looking for more choices thar actually mean something, or maybe multiple endings? all in all this was a waste of 4 bucks
- Aiden Estes · v1.0.20
too short for the price
- Satya Duddupudi · v1.0.20
The game is repetitive and linear, with your choices having little effect on the story. It costs money to play, even though it's categorized as free. Despite being a text-only game, it's full of grammatical mistakes.

Great game. Only thing I want from it is more!
- Miah · v1.0.20
short lived joy
- Danny
Idk why but it's really short for a game of this genre. You should totally check out more of "hosted games" if you liked this game.

The story of this game and the gameplay for the first time is easily 5/5. However, after playing it four times with different choices in every single one, I discovered that the game is basically the same no matter what you do. This feels like a huge bummer, because the story is so good! *SPOILERS AHEAD* But it doesn't matter if you kill all the gods and absorb their powers, you still die to the titan, you just survive a little longer. It feels like I have no control. And the plot twist is mid.

The moment you load up the game it's an immediate screen telling me to pay money if I wanna play the full game. I haven't even started the game, there is no selling point. Now I don't even wanna bother with the three chapters, because they're gonna try to sell me everything else every step of the way.
- Christian Carbino
Absolutely love this game. A dream come true
- Shade Kruger
I played this game quite a long time ago, and I only recently remembered it. It is one of my dearest games, and I love the contrast between the complex story and the simplicity of the interface. I think it is worth buying the full version if you love text-based adventures as much as I do.
- Marta Gabriela Popescu · v1.0.17
It's okay, but needs to be more fleshed out. The story isn't too eventful, and the plot jumps around. The full game is a bit overpriced for the small amount of replayability it has. The way you create your world or species has no effect on plot, either, which is really disappointing.
- Wagon Snake · v1.0.17
I would have given it five stars but not enough of it is free to play and as hard as it may be to believe, I probably won't have the money to buy this game anytime soon if ever. I wish every chapter after the last free one could just be unlocked by choosing to watch adds because I really love everything from what I could actually play. And I wish there were more games like this on other systems such as Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5. I love the text based gameplay and the interactive story.
- Zombie demon
Lovely, awesome story!
- Josh Sass · v1.0.16
I didn't like it no more and I purchased the full game, but when i didnt want it anymore, I didn't get a refund.
- Brishawna Lewis · v1.0.16
we need a part two for sure ngl it go hard
- Koby Willis Texas · v1.0.16
I liked it but i felt it kind of short i mean very short considering the story and the scope of it. But is there a second part of this game coming soon. I heard it somewhere i guess.
- Amal Aji Abraham · v1.0.14
This game is super good and I also liked your other games but I am a just a poor student and I don't have money to buy chapter after the trial so can you please make so that we can watch ads to get chapter.even if I have to watch 10 ads per chapter I want to play the best games in playstore
- Monkey
This is a cool game, the story is unique.
- Sandro George (SciTechNerd) · v1.0.15
One word :- Incredible Definitely recommended
- The Dustless Boy
Good story, I just wish that every story you make didn't cost money
- Matt foster · v1.0.15
I'm giving this three stars. It's a decent story and it's fun to read. However thus lies a problem. No matter what choice you make for your subjects it always ends the same. You don't have to teach them a damn thing. And it will always lead them polluting regardless of of you teaching them anything at all.
- Benjamin Taylor
I absolutely loved this one. It has a good plot and I like the concept of being a god but the only thing I don't like and understand is why in the stats it says "power:?". But this was my favorite one of theese games.
- Jody Hendren · v1.0.14
Quite literally the first, and the best narrative game I have ever played. Not only did it feed my God complex perfectly, it was entertaining enough for me to purchase the full version. 100% recommend!!!
- Tamunoteghenari Immanuel · v1.0.14
Need a continuing of the story
- Jeremy Andrews · v1.0.13
Good cyoa game just personally not going to pay to play the rest. Especially without knowing there's at least a significant amount more to it.
- Demetrius “Dez” Vagnur
Please let the hole game be free cuz If you want money creator get a job as something.
- Bear
I love this game but u should add more to the story. Otherwise amazing!
- Kianna Q · v1.0.11
Please make it free for one try and if you want to restart at the begging make tht payable
- Ronald epps · v1.0.11
Plz make a second part to this I had so much fun. Can you please make a second part to the aether its really good and i like it
- Lil Big Homie · v1.0.10
would have Been perfect if it were a bit longer it only took me a day or so to get through most of the endings
- ralyks nitram · v1.0.8
Dont know yet!
- Demetrius Crawford · v1.0.11
Good game. Great Story 👍
- Lyle Schiefer · v1.0.10
I love it, I love the story, the everything!
- Weeb Slime
This game is a really fun text advandure we're you play as a god.
- Cory Kriz · v1.0.11
Love the game! It's really fun to literally play God. Once I have a stable income, I'll be sure to buy the full version.
- Brendan Rowanoak · v1.0.11
Very good
- Game Mations
It is a lot of fun to creat and get an up top view of a specises progression. Most of the good stuff with your own world comes after chapter 3 (In their paid content), but it was definitely worth the couple bucks for such a heartwarming experience
- Lawrence Hkm · v1.0.11
Cool
- Crusader On A Bike
Would be better if you didn't have to buy the whole game as I think it should be like The Great Tournament or LIFE of a merc
- Ethan · v1.0.11
Great
- Jasper de Ruyter
This game is one of the best games I have ever played in the time I have been alive and this game it's amazing lovely and I really hope it is able to be longer than it is already but I do understand that will of course take some time and money but this game is amazing and I recommend it to those that read a lot and really just question there existence
- SlurpDoesGames
I really loved this and wish it was longer! I love the moral compass, and Epoch. A really great way to pass time, just a little short. Noticed a Abug when answering prayers in a restarted game; if you view stats during a prayer, it changes to a different prayer (all were new prayers not previously played replaced by previously played in a prior game).
- Amy Cookson · v1.0.11
The dialogue is simply divine. The choices are challenging and super interesting. This game may not contain all the snazy action and danger like other games but it's still awesome.Definitely worth downloading.
- Nethan HC hilic
I played the first bit and it was great love the idea and execution
- S5_HVS1
Grat game
- Baby Baby
