Overview

Step back into 1998 with The Amateur Deity Society, an interactive fiction game that harks back to the golden age of text-based adventures, but with a modern point-and-click interface. Players will join the dubious members of Franklin High School’s “Computer Club” as they embark on an ambitious project: programming a world simulator. Denise Novak, the club's self-proclaimed president, doesn't expect much, but what unfolds is a narrative experience filled with humor and perhaps a touch of the uncanny.

Highlights

  • Developed and published by Robert Carlson, this indie title offers a unique blend of interactive fiction and point-and-click mechanics.
  • The game features a female protagonist and a story-rich experience, playable in approximately 3-5 hours.
  • Enjoy a contextual menu-driven interface that avoids tedious pixel-hunting or frustrating parser guesswork, complete with Steam Achievements and Cloud support.

Who It's For

This game is perfect for players who enjoy narrative-driven experiences, classic text adventures, and point-and-click puzzles. If you appreciate a good story with plenty of laughs and a hint of suspense, and you're looking for a relatively short but engaging experience, The Amateur Deity Society should be on your radar. Its accessible interface makes it a great choice for those new to interactive fiction.
