Thoughtfish, a Berlin-based game developer, has announced its latest project, How to God, a VR game that allows players to become a deity and interact with the game world using their hands. The game is a tribute to classic god sims like Black & White and offers players a chance to truly feel what it's like to be a god.

How to God features include shaping civilization, raising a creature that evolves based on the player's teachings, fighting rival gods, mastering alchemy and miracles, exploring diverse realms, and forging a divine path. The game utilizes VR locomotion and grab system to provide a truly tactile divine control experience.

In How to God, players can construct buildings, assign tasks, and solve problems, or create chaos and watch as their followers pray, build, fight, starve, strike, or thrive. They can also raise a creature that they can teach and command in battle. The game features battles between gods that blend troop movement, creature carnage, and world-shaking miracles.

Players can master alchemy by merging elements like fire, water, and villagers to create new spells, jobs, and chaos. They can also draw runes in the air to cast miracles like summoning fireballs, duplicating resources, or unleashing a fairy pouch to tuck away villagers and elements.

How to God offers diverse realms to explore, each with unique challenges, quests, and moral conundrums. Players can progress through story quests and unlock relics to enhance their creature, buildings, and godly skills through the Tree of Life.

How to God will be available later this year, and those interested can wishlist the game on Meta Quest and follow it on Discord, TikTok, and X. Thoughtfish, founded in 2013, is a game developer on a mission to deepen immersive experiences by seamlessly using the real world to enhance digital fun.
