Black And White

Black & White is a god simulation and real-time strategy game developed by Lionhead Studios and released for PC in 2001. In the game, players take on the role of a deity, guiding and shaping a civilization while raising a massive creature that serves as their physical avatar in the world. The player's actions determine whether they are a benevolent or malevolent god, influencing their followers through miracles, blessings, or fear and destruction. The game features a unique gesture-based control system, allowing players to interact with the world naturally. With an open-ended design, moral choices, and an advanced AI system that enables the creature to learn and adapt to its environment, Black & White was praised for its innovation and depth. The game remains a cult classic for its ambitious mechanics and the freedom it gives players to shape their own divine legacy.
