I remember going on a game developer's website and one of their upcoming games was this game where your character was a weird humanoid creature (may or may not have had black feathers?) and they lived in this underground temple thing. The story was that their god (or something like that) was dormant in the form of a statue and you had to guard it for a very long time (at least a hundred days or something like that) in real time. You could explore the caves and work on several projects and there would be puzzles to complete that had you wait for several days for some mushrooms to grow or for a spider to make a big enough cobweb. There was also some way to use some sort of magic to speed up the process that was hinted at in the trailer, or that you could even escape.
The game was 2d and had a really dark and strange art style.
Please help, I literally lost sleep thinking about this game last night and the only reason I made this account was because of this.
EDIT: SOLVED!!! It's called The Longing.
