Pedagogue of Wrong Gods
Gods.
You know what the problem with god games is?
They’ve got no subtlety.
Shadows Of Forbidden Godsis different.
The premise is actually pretty novel.
They must gain access to powerful people and corrupt or destroy them, removing any chance at resistance.
They can’t do this directly though.
People residing in sufficiently corrupted areas gradually lose their ability to fight or even notice anything’s amiss.
But the real challenge isn’t corrupting the world.
It’s corrupting the world without drawing the attention of the Chosen One.
Every game has a Chosen One who is aware of your nature and imminent return.
This is where it gets really fun, because making your numbers go up isn’t your best tool.

She died, but two other NPCs were very fond of her.
You would not believe thecacklingthis game gets out of me.
You still have to time it well, and misdirect wherever possible, but your agents are mere pawns.
you might essentially fake your own death just to frustrate your opponent.
It’s also a pleasantly chill time, despite the subject matter and the complexity.
It reminds me somewhat ofMedieval Colon Total Warin that respect.
But there’s something a bit special here, for those with an eye for an offbeat structure.
