✦ AI summary

The Amateur Deity Society is a short narrative-driven adventure that players consistently praise for its excellent writing, distinct character voices, and compelling science fiction premise about children discovering godlike power over virtual beings. The charming retro aesthetic, witty dialogue, and well-paced storytelling create an engaging experience that most players complete in a couple of hours and describe as well worth experiencing. Players recommend checking it out, with some noting they felt it was underpriced even when purchased on sale.

This is an excellent short science fiction story worthy of PK ♥♥♥♥ in his prime, as such there's almost nothing you can say about it that wouldn't spoil the experience. Imagine SOMA but you play as all the main characters and Simon isn't aggravatingly stupid.

Really charming little Point and Click with a very unique aesthetic! Love the early 90's PC interface, and the *fully functional* text editor contained inside, that was neat. Visual novels rely heavily on solid writing to be enjoyable, and Amateur Deity society definitely delivers on that front. The main plot about a bunch of kids discovering what it means to play god over other beings is meaningful and gets pretty wild (in the best way) towards the end, and the wry wit throughout is hilarious. Was a great Friday night play - highly recommend checking it out for yourself! :)

Still making my way through this one, but so far I LOVE the writing, and the characters' voices in particular, they're all so clear and distinct. Takes talent to write like that. Looking forward to completing this.

Compelling & interesting experience with a well-written narrative & plot. Gave me some Roadwarden vibes, though I don't know if this game had multiple endings. It let me explore at my own pace and I appreciate that I was guided through the story without feeling overly railroaded into decisions. Choices I wasn't meant to pursue redirected me in a cute, often funny way. Completed my playthrough all in one sitting (just about two and a half hours). Well worth the price, I almost wish I hadn't picked this up on sale, it feels like a steal at under $4 CAD.

Very cool short story! I enjoyed the mystery, and the general idea is very interesting to me. Would definitely recommend checking out. It definitely feels like a book, in a good way. The writing is solid. Also, it works fine on Linux with Proton for me. Hope to see more from the developer in the future. I would definitely play another one of these.

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
