Features:
- Create your own religion - You define what is important to your followers. Select virtues and vices. Guide their lives and the rituals they must perform to honor you. A few will rise to become powerful disciples who can help train future generations.
- Nurture and guide your followers - You do not control your disciples, merely guide them. But deciding what rituals they enact, which monument they build and managing their abilities and powers will all be key to a prosperous tribe.
- Ritual combat - Other deities and religions vie for power and influence. Face rival gods and their followers in ritual combat known as ‘Sacraments’. Your disciples will need to prove their faith through the use of awe, persuasion or brute force.
- Colourful art style - Charming visuals with a crisp hand-drawn style depict the new and unknown world of Godhood, seen through a lush, isometric perspective.
- Replayability - Powered by a deep simulation system, Godhood allows you to experiment with dozens of different combinations of religious dogmas. Unlock new secrets as you progress along a main storyline filled with battles, rituals and challenging quests.
So far, that's all the information we have as they've only just teased it. Will keep track of it and post up any additional news as and when we get it. It's not going to release until next year, so plenty of time to find out more.
Given their history of supporting Linux with their last two games, I asked the developer about Linux support for Godhood and they said:
We're still working out how to release it exactly in 2019, but that's definitely the plan.

Quoting: razing32Quoting: x_wingSmells like black & white but without some fun parts (no sacrifices feature? What a shame!)At 0:31 it says "spread sacrifice"
Or do you mean more direct control over followers ?
Yes, you know, throwing them to the sacrifice place or just all along the map because it was... fun?
Sounds like that you're more like a "influencer" in this game. Anyway, lets see what we get on release.
