About Crest
Welcome to Crest, a religion simulator where you take care of humans as if they were your own children. Your only way of communication with your subjects is commandments. How these commandments are interpreted and remembered are not set in stone. What you write and what experiences they have with the environment is the basis for their religion. You might find that your people will change on their own accord over time and use your commandments for their own devices. But, they are your children after all, you can always try to coerce them back into the fold.
You have an indirect control of your people with your commandments; consequences of your actions may not always be clear and you will need to be aware of the ever-changing environment and your people’s disposition, amongst others their disposition towards you. Expressing yourself is the key of Crest; you will do so through your people and the world they shape.
Crest is currently available in Early Access on Steam, Humble Store, itch.io, and Green Man Gaming. Full release is planned for 2017.”
