About
You are an Eldritch horror, summoned to the human realm.
You’re soon to realize, however, that you have more in common with your followers than you thought - they, too, have a longing for The Void.
The Void in their case is, however, mostly something they call ‘y2k’ and ‘retro anime aesthetics’.
But oh well, every god needs clout.
Build your church, gain followers, give away miracles.
Romance your head priest. Or don't.

I LOVE THEO HES SO SWEET
Thank you for this game! very fun can't wait to finish <3
Even using the guide and having tried for more than 8 times now, I can't get the "Job well done" ending! ToT)
I even checked out the scripts on a notepad app, I've tried with merch, streaming, crypto, anything I can, really, it's driving me insane! If anyone here can help me I'd greatly appreciate it!
esta en español?
its a funny, entertaining game, will play again for a different ending :3
I played through the game and I loved it, I hope to play some of the other routes at some point. Thanks for posting it, so much content for being free.
I have a question that might be a little... silly? 。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。 Is the demo translated into Spanish ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?
I LOVE this game, one of the best I've ever played😭💞
Loving it so far, the beginning left me a little perplexed but my community and I are having a great time. Keep it up!
THEYRE SO CUTE AWAWWWWAYWYAYWYAHWYAYWY I WANT MORE
This was really good, I loved the different people who came and requested something ^^
I wish we could know whether the stat raising does anything specific, I used stats haphazardly because I wasn't quite sure whether there'd be consequences or not as I couldn't tell what choice or ability was affected by my stats.
Other than that it was really fun ! I wish I could see more of him and Death, they were cute
I LOVE HIM ALREADY.
cada vez que intento extraer para poder abrir el juego, me sale una carpeta con fotos y no puedo jugarlo, ¿por que es?
Está en español
this is so peak i could cry
Would posting a playthrough online be okay? I just wanna make sure
sure, go for it!
Thanks
IM AT WEEK 30 AND THIS GAME IS SO CUTE AND FUNNY OMGGGG!! LOVEEEE <3

Ahhh how did you do that?
liunx pls
Just got the Divine and domains ending AKSJDHAKSHDK kicking my feet :,)

https://but-wholesome-games.itch.io/followercount/devlog/823793/ending-guide
the ending..NO THEO SXDCFVGYBHUNJIUYTFCGVBHJ anyways!! now i have to go back and romance him..
Esse jogo é incrível demais, as primeiras interações do Açoite com o Theodore são completamente engraçadas e a dinâmica de relacionamento deles se mantém engraçada até o fim, sendo uma narrativa completamente calma e suave. A parte das divindades/abismo foi um tanto complexa, e por eu não ser fluente em inglês acabei não entendendo algumas partes do que aconteceu, mas eu gostei bastante. Eu fiz apenas 2 finais, mas super faria os outros se eu fosse completamente fluente em inglês
Eu super recomendo jogarem! (灬º º灬)♡
I never thought that a game about a silly eldritch horror would teach me about an Aztec god of specifically male prostitutes... it's name is Xochipili according to google search.
I will defenitely be completionist-ing this in the next few days but holy nothing is it entertaining through and through! I might steal Acoite's personality for a week or two. Very compelling characterization. Thanks for this! We truly are divinely blessed to witness it in our mortal lifetimes.
i've done 3 of the endings (If i remember correctly) and sorry but how do I romance the french dude. I have no idea
This was super cute, I liked being an eldritch catboy god
i'm in love with the designs 🙏🙏 the scream I just scrumpt when I saw the 3rd sprite acoite has??? I'ma go unlock all endings and fail to rob a bank now KUDOS TO THE TEAM I LOVE IT ALL (つ≧▽≦)つ
How the heck do I romance him💔
whom
Theodore🤧
i think romancing him is part of the true end, basically you have to not do evil things(dont kill+dont find scam emails inspiring), have high affection w theo, and win w divine power against cuthulu i think
i have a really strange attachment to this game now,,, I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!! ND I LOVE THE CHARACTERS EVEN MORE (
EVEN MORE SO IN THE "TO SEE THE WORLD" ENDING)we are working on it atm!!
this game is peak. omfg I haven't even finished but out omfg yes
HOW DO I SURVIVE THE FIGHT HELP
Laze around just make sure to laze around once in a while, but is better laze around in the begining to be fract.
oh wow i played this game a whiiiile ago and i remember not being able to survive when the day came, didn't know what to do but i remember really liking the game!
peak, it seems
I actually really enjoyed this game and thought the story was really fun to play! I will be following you guys to see what you do next!
One of the best games I've ever played, I loved the way it plays with delicate subjects and the multiple choices! The dialogues are so funny, I didn't do all the endings because I'm lazy, but the ones I got were certainly worth it.
the end of Death and the True Ending left my heart warm, I loved both characters, Death and Acoite are cute together, but the ending with Theodore was my favorite, they bicker like an old married couple
