Build your little faith machine
Your realm starts with Lost Souls just drifting around, so you turn them into Keepers and now they help you grow. Then you can give them jobs: Prayers send Faith into Totems, Extractors pull it out as orbs, and Recollectors pick the orbs up before they disappear. After a few upgrades it starts to run on its own, and you get to focus on setting up the next big step.
Corruption shows up and it does not play nice
While you're building, Shadows are converting Lost Souls to their side. So you respond the only way a responsible tiny god can: Warriors to fight, Evangelists to convert faster, Sacred Walkers to make safe zones. It's a constant back and forth, and if you ignore it for too long you'll feel it.
Karma brings the demons
Push the Karma bar far enough and demons arrive. They come with Faith shields, they cause problems in different ways, and the Boss will go straight for your Totems. You can help by clicking them down, and your Warriors can attack them too.
Automate, ascend and repeat
Blessings and Miracles let you automate more and more until the realm basically runs itself. And when you’ve got Ascension Points? Rebirth whenever you feel like it, grab permanent upgrades, and start again with a better setup. Same realm, new plan, faster progress.
