Let's Play God
with Todd

A psychological strategy game where ancient Dream Gods compete to shape one ordinary man's subconscious — for better or worse.

In Development — Coming to Steam

The six Dream Gods of Let's Play God with Todd

What Happens When Gods Get Bored?

They mess with Todd.

Let's Play God with Todd is a multiplayer psychological strategy game for 4–6 players. Originally a tabletop experience, it's being reimagined as a digital game built in Unity, coming first to Steam.

Each player assumes the role of a Dream God — an ancient deity who infiltrates the dreams of an ordinary human named Todd. Every night as Todd sleeps, you weave dreams to influence his waking life: his relationships, career, self-image, and deepest fears.

But here's the catch — if Todd's mental state deteriorates too far, he suffers a complete psychological breakdown and everyone loses. Well, almost everyone. One scheming deity might secretly want exactly that.

🌙

Night Phase

Play dream intervention cards, strike deals with rival gods, and claim powerful miracles to shape Todd's psyche.

☀️

Day Phase

Todd's life areas produce resources. Manage his wellbeing or watch anxiety, confusion, and depression spread.

🎭

Secret Agendas

Every god has a hidden nemesis and a divine scheme. Trust no one — alliances shift, betrayal is inevitable.

Crisis System

Push Todd too far and crisis escalates. Life Happens cards throw curveballs. Balance manipulation with mercy.

Six Deities. One Todd. Infinite Chaos.

Each Dream God has a unique divine domain, special abilities, and their own twisted approach to "helping" Todd.

Ten Life Areas. One Fragile Psyche.

The Rhythm of a Round

1

Draw Dream Interventions

The active player draws cards unique to their deity — Protective Dreams, Social Dreams, Deep Psyche Dreams, and more.

Strike a Deal

A miracle is revealed. Players pitch their interventions and lobby for support. The most persuasive deity wins.

The winning deity reshapes Todd's mindscape. Miracles grant lasting abilities. Effects ripple across life areas.

4

Day Breaks

Todd wakes. Life areas produce resources based on their state. Meet his goals — or watch crisis climb.

Life Happens

A new event card shakes up the board. Fresh problems, unexpected twists. Adapt or be outmaneuvered.

Ceramiq Games

Ceramiq Games is an indie studio building games at the intersection of psychology, strategy, and humor. We believe the best games make you think, laugh, and occasionally question your own moral compass.

Let's Play God with Todd is our debut title — born from a love of tabletop gaming, dream logic, and the absurdity of trying to "fix" someone else's life. We're bringing it to life in Unity, launching first on Steam.

We're a small team with big, slightly unhinged ideas. If you like games that blend strategic depth with irreverent charm, you're in the right place.

Our Philosophy

  • Strategy that rewards creativity over min-maxing
  • Social dynamics that create stories worth retelling
  • Art and themes that feel handcrafted, never generic
  • Humor woven into mechanics, not just flavor text
