About This Game

As you look down upon the empty planet, you find a set of tools on the top right of the screen, ready to be used. A bolt of lightning, or perhaps a flood, or seedlings for trees…even the option to create man. And rabbits.

As you progress through the eons of time, you’ll notice that your actions have directly affected the shape of the world simply by the order in which you chose them. By creating the earthquake first, for example, you created a crack in the earth that you could then fill with the flood, which lead to a vast river spanning the planet. But had you done the flood before the earthquake, the ground would not have been dry enough to create the crack, and would have lead to an entirely different landscape. This is just a small example of what your actions do in the Sandbox of God: Remastered Edition, as you start with a selection of actions (such as rain, earthquake, etc.) and must choose the order they are unleashed upon the Earth. Doing these actions in different order can yield new results, and it's up to you to find new ways to shape your world.

But your actions don’t go unnoticed. Create man and give them the tools necessary to thrive, and they will pray to you for guidance…which you can then deliver or ignore, allowing them to choose their own destiny. And rabbits could even learn to pray, too. Whether you listen to them or not is up to you.

NOTE: This is a Legacy release of Vertigo Gaming Inc.'s back catalog titles. Because it is an older game running on newer hardware there may be some unexpected errors. Here's how to solve them:

  • If you have an error of "Failed to load the game data, File seems corrupted.", you will need to disable the Print Spooler on your computer, as older GM8 games can have this issue. First, right click on This PC or My Computer and select Manage. Select Services and Applications on the left side bar and then select Services. Double click the "Print Spooler" key and go to the General tab, select Startup Type, then select Disabled. Finally, select Stop below the Service Status and then click Apply. The game should now boot up correctly.
  • If the game does not close properly and continues to run on Steam even after exiting the game, you will need to run it in compatibility mode to resolve this issue. Right click the game in your Steam Library, go to Properties, then Local Files, then Browse Local Files. Right click on the main .exe in the folder, and go to Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab, then click the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box and select Windows XP, then Apply and OK. Restart your computer, and the game will now correctly close after exiting.

This game is just a major nostalgia hit for me. Almost 2 decades ago i started playing this and i only just managed to find this as it was on my steam queue. I remember playing this for weeks at a time trying to complete all the objectives. The idea of the game is to do things in cdifferent orders to find new combinations of ruling the world as God himself. It's a short but entertaining game, however it does only seem to run win Windows 95 compatibility mode for me. Worth giving it a go, especially when on sale.

There ought to be a sideways thumb. Not bad, not good. It's essentially an animated, illustrated flowchart. If you can get it for less than a buck, it's a quick diversion.

I remember playing the original version of this back on YoYoGames. The nostalgia definitely is there. Plus, now I get to try the new game modes I never did before. It's still a fun clever puzzle with some silly and interesting ideas. Worth it!

[h1] DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review [/h1] The Sandbox of God is a game developed and published by Vertigo Gaming, the same person behind the Cook, Serve, Delicious series The game offers some really nice graphics and a nice yet simplistic aesthetic which is pleasant all the same and has some amazing attention to detail even though it is a little rough around the edges The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but a fun game nonetheless and ends just at the right time The Sandbox of God overall, however, is an okay game to play, yet sometimes repetitive and it does get boring if being played for a long time, but is an okay strategy game to play in short bursts!

An old game, but still very fun. You play as a god, and your actions each era as well as the order of the actions you take changes what happens as well as what actions you can take in the next era, with a checklist at the end of each playthrough to show what you have and haven't done, and it's fun to see what different combinations do. The Steam version (the original was freeware IIRC from early childhood) adds a Boardwalk Mode, which is the normal mode but with cute board game graphics, and Warfare Mode, which is something like tower defense between the two civilizations you watch over as god in the normal mode. My only complaints are that the Website links in the game not just no longer work, but open up in Internet Explorer even on Windows 11, where that browser has been disabled for users.

Unfortunetly, the game doesn't play the music and sound files properly for me, only integrated sounds were fine, e.g. getting points *ding*. My only guess is that this game has compability issues with newer OS (I run on Win10 Pro). Compability mode didn't solve it. With this, I gave up, requested a refund and leaving now this negative review. I may be the one of the few, but unless a remaster of a remaster is done, I believe this game will soon run it's course.
