The Aether: Life as a God

First of all the story is way too short just playing through it the first time a game like this would take me probably 7 hours. This game only took 3. Second why can’t you continue to play the game after maybe make it infinite you can play forever and make multiple planets solar systems and races and actually experience the life of a court god and continue to grow your power. Third I think if you gained power and have really high amounts maybe you could actually kill the titan rather than it killing you before you come back but other than that is is a great game and I’ve played it multiple times and spent many hours playing it but it could be expanded off of. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Your race's traits never seen to affect ANYTHING. Progressives advance at the same rate as fundies. Cooperative worlds have just as much predation and conflict as violent worlds. Events remain constant no matter what prior decisions have been made. Killing gods has no real influence beyond essence boosts, which doesn't matter... SPOILERS . . . Because all your energy will be used in the final conflict, no matter how much you have, only for you to be saved by a literal deus ex machina. Appropriate in a god game, perhaps, but... . . . END SPOILERS My relationship with other gods didn't matter. If I killed them or befriended them, it made no difference. Politics were essentially nonexistent. Nor were there tradeoffs: complying with Calabius's request and backstabbing him garnered essentially the same amount of essence. Ylen was too dim to realize I was lying about the demon book having made its getaway. Asos gave me the exact same amount of energy whether or not he liked my changes. I could go on. But I think I've made my point. It's a pity, because I enjoyed the premise and want to give it more stars. I can't justify it, however. I DO hope, however, that the author produces more games. This was a promising first effort, and it would be great to see it expanded into a more detailed game.

I loved it. Absolutely. Was it short? Yes, but the quality makes up for that! It’s definitely fun to play. You should make another, but focus more on the people, please. Do anything you want-for I have no control-but make it a story of how you helped your people, whether it be a specific group or the entirety, have pagan gods be issues which damage your being, make your existence become null when you are forgotten. I’m no religious man, but I must refer you to the book of Exodus as an example. I find it to be a nice action-packed bit. If you read this, thank you. Warm Regards, CK

There was only one thing I didn’t like so I’ll start with that first. I disliked how short it seemed but I also played it fast. Now for the good, I really enjoyed the story and I am hoping for a second one that’s longer and another planet to rule. I couldn’t seem to put this down, every chance I got I was playing. The feeling of creating a race and planet and manipulating their way of existence is more fun I think than killing gods. All-in-all this was well worth the money.

I’d agree that the game was slightly short but other than that this game really just envelopes you in a different universe and the goings of it. It’s a game you really can’t stop playing once you start. Makes you feel kind of attached and also some what melancholy at the world we live in now. If you are looking for some insight to our own universe and some feels then this is the universe to play with :)
