Atonement

Atonement is a single player, third person, strategy game in which the player collects resources from villagers to sacrifice to an old god who is terrorising the village. The game is played one day at a time over a period of seven days, with escalating difficulty. The Old One, or Old God, demands sacrifices in cryptic messages at the start of each day, and it is the player’s goal to decipher these messages and fulfil these needs before the day is over. During Days 5 and 6 the old god demands human sacrifices, however the player has to be careful as some villagers offer unique resources, and their absence may make future stages impossible to complete. Atonement’s core gameplay loop is:

starting the week à gathering resources à progressing the days à Sacrificing villagers à failing and starting the loop again or winning the game
