Reus Simulating Avatar

Kyle Halpern Reus Simulating avatars.

In Reus you directly control a set of gods that shape the earth as well as place various herbs,animals, and minerals around in order to help you shape humanity. So the game is about watching humanity develop and grow under the direction that you set. They may live happily they may declare war on each other, and they may obey and disobey based on how you treat them, These people need certain amounts of food, minerals and technology in order to thrive, The game itself is played by clicking on the world to instruct a giant to move to an area and to shape it using the corresponding key, one key may make a resource more abundant while another may shape the land itself, the people that you have to manage you can not directly control. The game is broken down into two types of ways to play Era, where you play and progress trough civilization and Free play, where you do not progress and just play around with an early civilization. The aesthetic are light hearted and soft to look at, characters talk in simple pictures, this is done to make the game appear light hearted, easy, non intimidating and simple.
