About The Amateur Deity Society

1998. The members of Franklin High School’s dubious, under-equipped “Computer Club” break from precedent and take on a project: programming a world-simulator. Denise Novak, the ostensible club’s alleged president, anticipates the end result will be nothing special.A point-and-click, story-driven interactive fiction game. Features an intuitive, contextual menu-driven interface that demands neither pixel-hunting nor parser-guessing. Expect a fair number of laughs and possibly some chills.Typical playtime: 3-5 hours

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.
