History VideoGame / Godville

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: [[spoiler:Dungeons, unlocked after finishing the temple, play on an entirely different set of rules, requiring team play between three to five gods and constant supervision of your hero. They even use iconography reminiscent of old {{Roguelikes}} instead of just text like the rest of the game.]]

* IncrediblyInconvenientDeity: It's one option to continually bother your hero with commands, and probably the only way to actually get them to consistently do things you want them to. Still, being your only follower in a world where [[GodNeedsPrayerBadly miracles run on prayer]], they either know they has the privilege to sass you back and abuses it, or is too dumb to be aware they shouldn't be talking back to their deity and does so. Your hero will even get mad if you send messages too quickly one after another.

* ManaMeter: Your Godpower, which goes from 0 to 100% and must be used to influence the game. [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly It goes up when your hero prays to you.]]

This game was developed by Dmitry Kosinov and Mikhail Platov. The original was a WebGame, released in 2007 entirely in Russian. However, the version most people are familiar with is an English-language game, which can was first released in 2010, and can found on your [[UsefulNotes/IOSGames iPhone]][=/=]{{UsefulNotes/Android|Games}} or right [[http://godvillegame.com here]].

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Female heroes get no discount on the goofy misfortune part.

* MusicalSpoiler: The hero will sometimes "search for the right path guided by the sound of foreboding music". No actual music exists in the game.
** There's also an artifact called "Background music generator". Although it, of course, has no effect on the music, it is marked '''bold'''

* SneezeOfDoom: The "Powerful Sneeze" combat skill.

Not impossible, although very difficult and time-consuming once you find out one golden brick is 0.1% of the whole temple. Your hero will need 1000 of those to finish the structure. After the temple's construction, the hero will attempt to build an additional ark with wood and save retirement money. Further updates have increased the lifespan of your hero(ine)s tasks. Following 1000 logs to build an ark, you must fill that ark with 1000 manimals (not that one) and 1000 feminals. With an ark built and filled you can build a boss monster from parts you accumulate from other monsters, and once this is done your little one will gradually write a holy book. With the holy book written, another 1000 words, they can start gathering souls for an, as yet (Dec 2022) unknown reason. All the while saving the 30 million gold necessary to retire and open a shop of their own.

->''"Greetings, fellow stranger!
->Remember those times when someone you know was telling you something like "I need to harvest these crops..." or "We need to kill 65,340,285 boars..."? Well, forget it! You are the god here, and those things are not worth your divine attention! Leave all the dirty work to your pawn and enjoy the only thing that matters in any game - fun."''

Godville is a parody of most RPG games out there, combining internet memes, popular culture and BitingTheHandHumor to create a text adventure ZPG (Zero Player Game) which plays itself. The concept is simple, you create an IdiotHero who writes in his/her 'diary' (-er, [[ShoutOut Twitt-]]) about all the RandomEncounters they have with silly monsters in order to build a golden Brick temple at 100%. ''Impossible?''
