In this world-building god simulator, your job is to create a beautiful and safe environment for the people of the land. Are you tired of the micro-management of city builders, the paralyzing burden of looking for a perfect move, and controlling every single person in your kingdom? I have good news for you because you don't have to any of that in Zen World! Just provide an expansive and beautiful landscape and people will build and develop their kingdom by themselves!(Storyline via IGDB)
