Donnez des commandements dans un langage pictographique en évolution pour guider vos fidèles à Crest, un god sim indirect se déroulant dans des biomes africains afrofuturistes. Façonnez leur religion via des interactions environnementales comme la météo, la végétation et le comportement animal, dont les interprétations évoluent au fil du temps sous l'effet du libre arbitre et des expériences. Suivez l'évolution de leurs croyances, de leurs sentiments envers vous et des conséquences imprévues dans un monde sandbox de savane, jungle et désert.
Faites prospérer ou périssez votre peuple sur des îles uniques à difficulté personnalisable, en débloquant des mots complexes pour des commandements plus profonds. Le support Twitch intégré permet aux viewers de voter sur les commandements en live. La rejouabilité booste ce gameplay de simulation axé survie, retraçant chaque histoire procéduralement générée pour les fans de stratégie et de récits émergents en mode casual.
Welcome to Crest, a unique take on the traditional god sim, where your word is gospel. Control and guide your followers by issuing commandments written in an evolving pictographic language.
How these commandments are interpreted and remembered is not set in stone. What you communicate and what experiences your followers have with the environment is the basis for their religion. Over time, commandments can develop different associations and completely change their meaning. After all, your followers still have free will and will sometimes do what they think is best for them, regardless of what you had in mind.
The consequences of your actions may not always be clear and you will need to be aware of the ever-changing environment, your people's beliefs and their feelings about you.
Will they love, respect or fear you?

Setting
Crest is an Afrofuturist game that re-imagines how humanity arose in the cradle of humankind on the African continent. It's a historical themed game that tries to emulate an advanced iron age civilization that could have existed a few thousand years ago. The setting for the game world, its flora and fauna is based on African biomes, with rainfall determining the tug-of-war between desert, savanna and jungle.
Progression and Losing
Crest is a game about surviving and you can never win the game, only survive and experience an interesting journey. Its focus is on replayability. Every new world you start is unique and will write its own stories. If all your followers die, that world is gone forever. However, you will still be able to view the legacy of your previous worlds. As long as your people live you can continue playing and further shape your own history by creating more and more complex commandments with newly unlocked words.
