Atypical Param/Nintendo simulation. You play a giant interacting with an island of humans. Gentle benevolent (or malicious) deity mechanics, soothing atmosphere. Uniquely poetic concept, very original gameplay, highly specific audience. Cult curio.

An underrated gem

Shaping an island by stretching the landscape to the whims of a good-natured giant: here's a contemplative god game of a rare kind. Inherited from the defunct 64DD and deliberately slow-paced, it repels anyone after action. But its singularity and quiet poetry make it a one-of-a-kind experience for fans of atmospheric games.
