About the game
Shape a living god-sim where every spark is a soul. Zoom from one life to a whole world that curls into a torus; raise land, call rain, touch one fate, and ask why any place became itself. Choose what endures; the Chronicle remembers what your hand preserved.

AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
The game's narration engine is a deterministic template system with zero runtime AI. The template/fragment library it draws from was hand-crafted in English, and then mass-localized during development using a large language model and then human-curated. No AI image generation was used: all art, icons, and store assets are procedurally rasterized from hand-authored primitive op-lists. The game contains no live/runtime AI generation.
