My beloved indie game lovers, I have news for you today. The Fata Deum demo is now available to play on Steam. The ambitious god-game, which was developed by 42 Bits Entertainment and published by Hooded Horse, will not be released until later, but fret not because you can now play the demo that has just dropped in preparation for the upcoming Steam Next Festival. Rule over tiny humans with your mighty power in this rehashing of the god-game genre, but do it quickly because the demo is only available until the end of the month. Check out the gameplay below first before you play, though.

What does the Fata Deum demo show us?
If you don’t know about the game, Fata Deum puts you in the role of god for this fictional land, where you will compete with other gods for the faith of its citizens – there’s something quite sinister about that. Your powers as a god vary as well because, during the day, you can bless and even inspire the inhabitants to do deeds of goodwill, but if you want to spice it up, you can also terrify them with horrific visions. And at night, do you even want to know? At night, you can influence your people through their dreams and manipulate them into building temples, farms, or anything else that tickles your fancy. The aim of this God game now on Steam is to raise armies, summon demons, and wield the forces of nature to alter your lands so you can smite your enemies and bless your loyal followers.
This is the kind of game you can get fully immersed in with much power at your fingertips. Why would you want to play anything else, right? If it does interest you, then the Fata Deum Demo can be downloaded from Steam now for a limited time.
