So after five years of development, Swedish developers Eat Create Sleep have released Crest, an indirect god sim set in a stylized sub-saharan setting with an afrofuturistic vibe that delivers a new take on the god game genre.
Although a good idea can only take you so far, as RPS discovered when giving Crest a spin back in Early Access.
What the new Swedish indirect deity-sim Crest presupposes is this: “What if you were more of a libertarian god?” And that’s a… well, not a good question, but decided a very interesting question.
Crest includes management of natural and man-made elements, ranging from terraforming to the control of animal species.
