Today’s Niche Spotlight is Godhood, a god game by Abbey Games that recently left Early Access.
In the game, you play as a newborn deity trying to establish their own religion of lust, chastity, war, peace, greed, generosity, or madness. Recruit disciples and guide them by issuing tenants and traditions that they can spread across the world. Defeat the followers of rival gods in ritualistic auto-battler combat to convert new believers.
You can find the launch trailer below.
Godhood is available on Windows PC (via GOG, and Steam) for $26.99.
