Godville

Godville () is a mobile and desktop browser zero-player role-playing video game developed by Mikhail Platov and Dmitry Kosinov. It was released as a Russian website in 2007 and as a mobile game in English on July 18, 2010. In the game, the player controls a character known as the god, who interacts with a character called the hero. The hero progresses in the video game without interaction with the player's god character. Reception to the game was positive, with the focus on its gameplay.

== Gameplay == Godville is a zero-player game, which means it does not require interaction from the player for the game to progress, though it does require some setup. In the game, there is the hero-character, who is a non-player character, and there is the god-character, who is played by the player. The hero is a religious fanatic who uses a diary to communicate with the god, and occasionally needs a sign of the god's existence; the player uses the god-character to influence the hero positively or negatively using rewards and punishments, and sometimes direct communication. The hero can have a pet companion. After a period of time playing the game, the game enables the player to review the most-important events the hero has participated in since the last time the player checked the game.
