Worldbuilding

Spirithale is worldbuilding game where you literally build the world from the ground up as one of the world's many spirits. The spirits however are not gods, and their powers are limited to how much they have created in the world. Gain power by forming the world's regions and filling them with different types of flora, earth formations, creatures and biomes. Sapient factions will also develop in the world, and they use the resources around them to survive. In the right conditions loyal factions will help their worshiped spirit protect or invade more lands and can create buildings and wonders to provide powerful bonuses to their spirit.

How does it start?

Starting a new world will create a pre-generated empty canvas of all the world's regions from the start. The world is one big ocean, but the spirits will start in their own areas with only a small amount of land to their name. From there they can expand the land or claim new regions in the world slowly filling the ocean with landmasses. Each region is pre-generated from the start however not all of them are equal, some regions may favor certain types of biomes or have unique features that can be restored like river segments that can through different regions.

Progression

Naturally all the spirits don't start with every single ability unlocked and they only start off with basic decisions to expand regions. Throughout the game the main resource to unlock new powers is insight which is used to unlock boons, new creations and abilities. 

Winning/God Simulator Mode

In a normal game the game will end after a certain number of days. Whichever spirit has the most victory points wins. The points are based on how many revelations they unlocked and their total domain size of their impact on the world. However, there is an alternative god simulator mode which in which you are the only spirit and can play forever or test certain mechanics out as well.
