Clockwork Empires, a colonial village building sim (of sorts) pulls you in with the cult monster worship, but you stay for the extraordinary AI.
Yep.... first thing I look for in a game...
"Does it have cult monster worship?"
Seriously looks...unique.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Thanks for pointing this out. I haven't had a chance to really read the article yet but I always like reading about interesting AI concepts and thought processes.

I love that first sentence. LMAO! Sounds good to me. Had to check out that trailer they mentioned. There's boozin' going on too.
I've been following this one since the "earliest access". It's actually the cults and fish people that put me off it.
It's going for the British colonial style theme, but instead of Native Americans, Africans, Indians, Caribbeans, or Asian and Arab tribes, we get fish people. They've also gone the politically correct route with the skin tones in the game. There's no separation between the Empire and the colonists. I'm probably alone on this, but fair enough.
Guess I wanted something more realistic and less geeky.
I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

looking at the artwork, Lovecraft immediately came to mind. The article failed to mention it but other reviews mentioned the Cthulhu mythos inspiration.

Yep, this.
So much potential, but when it's so unrealistic, 'plastic', how can you get immersed into a child's world.
