Wow, this is really well put-together for a 72-hour window, well done! I really love that you break down the steps, that there are some awesome setups at the end, and the whole premise. All of the players acting as a single being —one that’s so far beyond us that we can’t really comprehend it— and not necessarily working together is really awesome.

We weren’t actually able to play this as there are just two of us (Beth and Angel), but I could definitely get the vibe from what I read, which I really liked! And please know that the things I’m mentioning here are very minor nitpicks because the overall game is solid, and I have no critique about it whatsoever.

I’ll admit I struggled with what a Concept-Divinity is (and also that the first use of it isn’t capitalized, but the others are). I appreciate that you define a Concept-Divinity next, but putting that first (or me being less lazy and jumping ahead earlier lol) would’ve helped. And I totally get not catching the single misuse of “concept-divinity” with such a short timeframe!

Also, I found myself going back in the rules a few times to make sure I was reading things right. There were things brought up that specified other parts, and it felt like I had to push past my assumptions to understand. If the “How to Meddle” section was folded into the “How a Cycle Takes Place,” I think I would’ve followed along better. But this is incredibly minor since it’s only a five-page document anyway.

Again, this is fantastic. Super unique, has a little of that “makes me jealous I didn’t think of it” vibe to it, and you stick to the theme of your game throughout so well!

- ✨Beth

This brings to mind series like Kaos or Sandman. Where families of Gods separately get involved in affairs they either care too much or too little about and really can’t be bothered to fix things they make worse, or coordinate amongst themselves for the best plan. Call Me Maybe is a really humorous title for this, it sets a “be careful what you wish for” tone to the game.

I like your choice of language throughout: “The cycles”, “the waking”, “the meddling” they’re very fitting. They also manage to capture the tedium of having to deal with the maintenance or consequences of your divinity. Like why can’t people just appreciate the splendor of my magnificence and let me dream/create in peace?!

Beth and I usually play most games as a party of 2, since we don’t have a group of folks to play with, so I appreciate that this can be played with two. But I do see where this would be way more fun playing with a larger group of people who all have their own constraints and ideas of how to fix the problem. Because I often play things solo or with Beth, my mind can’t help but look at something and wonder what a solo mode might look like. One person taking on the four facets themselves could be interesting as well. 

I do feel like turn order could be slightly more clear. Or perhaps that is the point in that it is meant to be chaotic? Do facets take turns and get a choice of observe or act during the meddling? Or do people just meddle as they discuss communally and hog the ticks as they go? Leaving less assertive people to the fate of meddle or forever hold your peace? Either way it’s kind of a funny concept. But I did find myself rereading for clarification on a small amount of specifics.

Your game really captures the theme, and the layout and execution are really nicely done.

Is it just me, or does this game feel too *epic* to be named for a Carly Rae Jepsen lyric?  I especially like the genre suggestions, complete with Keywords.
