Latest Steam announcements

  • Fixed a major bug - 1 September 2017

    Turns out we had a major bug in the game that we hadn't run into ourselves, but thanks to player zachpearse, we have found the issue and corrected it. For some of you this won't be too noticeable, but for others it will completely fix the game. Of course, it still won't "complete" the game and there are a lot of features still to be turned on. When they are all fully tested, you'll have them. We also have another update coming that will adjust the rates of growth and decline and we'll be adding some buttons to speed up the game. Plus, soon, those horrible placeholder images with be replaced and the UI will be updated. Thanks again to Zach for pointing out this bug. It was a surprisingly big one.

  • Mythology Hotfix - 27 August 2017

    There was a bit of an issue with the mythology of each nation not displaying properly, and we took care of it. You may experience a lengthy black screen right after the Unreal Engine cinematic plays. This is a loading screen that will be replaced by cinematics in an upcoming update, but for the moment it is blank. We prostrate before you, Great Ones, and apologize for making you endure this torture.

  • Flood the planet or turn it into a ball of fire - 26 August 2017

    We've added the ability to flood the entire planet by blasting it with storms, or to turn it into a fiery inferno with massive solar radiation. Be aware that doing so will most likely kill off any plants or animals living on the planet. However, if your civilization is technologically advanced enough, they may be able to hold on long enough to see the disaster through. If you decide to relieve their suffering, that is. ------------New Features------------ Planetary flooding Planetary super heating ------------Fixes------------ Fixed issues with civilization mythology Fixed problem that blocked new games from resetting all save data

  • The update is finally here - 10 August 2017

    Well, everyone, we've been talking about this big update coming, and it's finally here. It took quite a bit longer than expected to get all the new issues worked out, but everything is working now. One of the things that makes game development so interesting is when you add something new, everything else breaks! XD The main focus with this update has been to get the game into a really playable state. So far it has felt more like a test than a real game, and hopefully this will change that for most of you. There is still a lot to go, but now you are able to get some real feedback on your Godliness. Plus, you can potentially wipe an entire landmass off the planet with meteors. (it all comes back when you reload the game...for now...) ------------New Features------------ "New Game" event now causes solar flare to wipe the planet clean Added Meteorite impact effects for the planet -the amou…

  • A few more quick fixes before the next big update - 4 June 2017

    We fixed the problem with the tutorial resetting the game and erasing your saves, and put some mouse over descriptions on the buttons. There is a lot more to come. The next update will include a proper atmosphere, moon bases and better maps for the nations. The graphics will be cleaned up a bit as well. Here's what you can expect: - physically accurate planetary atmosphere - the first taste of war between nations - bases will begin to appear on the moon - graphical updates - nation tabs will have a better map screen - more menu fixes

  • A small update to fix some issues - 25 May 2017

    Hey, everyone! We've made a few changes to the tutorial and made it easier for everyone to access. We also made a few optimizations that should help the game run better and should get rid of the crashes some people have been experiencing. Some of the calculations have been adjusted, as well, which should make gameplay feel a bit more organic. Enjoy!

Short description

Control the weather on a planet. Watch the life grow and develop religion and technology. Will they worship you or forget you?

About this game

You Are God is a game that allows you to take on the role of the God of a single planet. You are in control of the planet's weather, but you do not have control of the planet's life. Everything you do affects any plants, animals or even people that develop on your world. A storm may bring much needed cool rain, but it could also scare inhabitants or kill life if it is too strong. In You Are God, you [the player] must care for a new planet. Warm the planet with sunlight and wet it down with rain to produce the best conditions for life to develop. If the conditions are right, plant life may develop. If there is plant life, it's possible that animal life may form. Once there is animal life, it may develop sentience. Once this happens the lifeforms will create a new religion to offer solace to their fears and desires. Will they worship you, or will they come up with a different God? Will the different nations turn on each other, fighting over which religion is correct, or will they unite in harmony and develop new technologies together? Will they become advanced enough to journey into space and potentially leave the planet entirely? They will live their lives, following their own free will, but you must guide them and care for them if they are to reach their full potential. There are three continents (nations) that grow and run by their own sets of rules. These rules are dictated by the religion they design and follow. If you are the God they worship, you will have more influence over them, but you can never control them. If you are unknown or despised by the people they may turn against you. If the nations have different Gods, they may fight and could even destroy the planet in the process. The endgame idea is for the people on the planet to discover another world and leave their home planet behind. As the technology level rises, the people will notice the stars, go to space, colonize the moon, research other planets and eventually leave to colonize on another world. Of course, it's also possible to keep them on the planet and under your care with religious influence.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

You Are God's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

You Are God's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records You Are God at $4.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
