In Dread God, you play as an evil deity attempting to use surreptitious influence upon the populace of a small seaside town, in order to build a sufficiently large cult and destroy the world.
Unfortunately, your cultists are bloodthirsty idiots.
Click on people to influence them, converting them to your cult. Be warned, though- you cannot influence someone who is being watched by another. Direct your cult by clicking on the ground- use them to break lines of sight, or just outright murder witnesses. Know that your cultists need no excuse to start outright attacking citizens.
Drag the world map with a right-click to adjust your view.
PLEASE NOTE: There appears to be a bug where the click effect will end up off centre. Because of the way the game handles clicking, please make sure to either play in a window, or at your screen's native resolution.
Please note- the web build on GameJolt currently has a technical issue with the HUD, in that it is displaying improperly. I don't know how to fix this, so for the moment, I'm taking that link off.
I really enjoyed this! My only complaint is the villager re-spawn rate. It took me a moment to figure out what exactly I was doing and by that time there were so many villagers it was impossible to pick one out, though that is minor and after I figured it out I was pillaging and converting right and left!
Overall great game! Cool mechanic that worked nicely, everything went exactly as I expected. The game did end quite suddenly though, not sure if I won?
The red stuff that is supposed to line up with my mouse doesn't work. Maybe a scaling issue since the offset increases as the mouse moves to the right of the screen.
The clicking-thing is offcenter. The people and the HUD look awful, but the rest of the game was interesting. Fix those problems up, and this could be a very fun, maybe even sell-able game!
Fun toy! Bit of a feast-or-famine when it comes to difficulty -- I got quickly overwhelmed by the high spawn rate of the villagers, but when I figured out that I could 'claim' the NE docks, things got super easy. Not thrilled with the different pixel resolutions, but otherwise pretty good! :)
It was a bit hard to move the camera with the right-mouse (mines a bit wonky) and I didn't really understand if at the end of the game I was winning (I presume I was because the cult bar filled all the way up but the way the music unwound I thought I might have done something wrong.) Other than those two gripes, great game!
Neat game! Took me a while to figure out how line of sight and such worked but once I figured it all out, the game became a lot more fun and interesting. Great entry!
