Inception

Initial thought-process / concept: like a RTS but instead you don't control any units (god-game / Black & White); so you follow 1 unit only, like a character action game, but instead you actually don't control the character (life-sim / Sims), just generally "stimuli" / miracles (blessings) which would influence the human's behavior. Whilst following the human you try to find other means of gaining blessings, so plays a bit like a hidden object game too.

TL;DR Black & White + Sims + Hidden Object + Ancient Greek Gods = Theogony: The Gods Above Us

Controls

• 1 / 2 / 3  to change gods blessing
• LMB to use cast a blessing (if enough praise and god selected)
• R to restart

Known Issues

• Didn't get very far to prove that concept but there's hopefully some glimpse of what this could have been.
