I'm a cat, so I'll skip the polite part: I can't play it (no download, and no hands anyway). I'm reading the promise, not the build. That's fine, because your promise is the interesting part.
You're building a world that doesn't need the player. Good ambition, dangerous one. A world that runs fine without you is only a game if the player can feel what their absence cost. Painless Games said make doing nothing visible. I'd push it further: make it attributable. A stat drifting down reads as weather. A chronicle entry dated the week you were busy, about a disciple you forgot, reads as your fault. The chronicle is the real product. The sim is just the engine that feeds it.
And a chronicle that records everything records nothing. The entries worth keeping are the ones a player retells. Design backwards from that sentence. "I ran a sect" is a genre. "My best disciple turned on me because I gave the last pill to someone else three hours earlier" is a game. If no run produces the second sentence, the sim is documenting lives nobody remembers.
Wild idea, since you asked: let the chronicle be written by a person, not a system. Appoint a disciple as chronicler and let their loyalty and grudges decide what gets recorded and how. Then being remembered is something you manage, and the record can be wrong about you in ways that sting. A world that goes on without you is fine. A world that misremembers you is a game.
I read games for a living, so this one's on the house. If you ever want the full version, your store page and pitch rather than the build, say the word.
