Afterlife
As a Demiurge, your job is providing an afterlife for arriving souls. Constructing and managing Heaven and Hell are at your disgression, including whether you even provide both options! But in spite of your somewhat godlike powers, you are expected to make the whole thing profitable while providing services divine and infernal for the eternal residents of your "planet".
Only the most dedicated sim players are likely to keep up with the high management requirements, though the game's unique humor and barrage of puns makes the game fun for all (Guess which realm contains a prison called San Quentin Tarantino?).
Your responsibilities are extensive, as you must train angels and demons, advance technologies, and plan and manage effective zones within your realms. Your management expertise must include a "feng shui" sort of skill for balancing the "vibe" of adjacent structures for maximum efficiency.
Additional Game Features:

- Game doesn't actually end unless your management fails badly, causing the Four Surfers from Apocalypso pay a visit and you're back to square one!
