"I was barely able to stifle my speculation after watching the announcement trailer for Reus, and having published that post it only got worse. I began ruminating on every aspect of the trailer, looking for reasons why the project, which seemed so perfect for me despite being in the ‘god game’ genre that I generally dislike, would only lead to disappointment. Having worked myself into quite the delirium I desperately reached out to Abbey Games, and thankfully Adriaan Jansen responded to my pitiful pleas."

But what are the bargains we'll see delivered our way via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 22nd-28th January 2019? How do this lovely lot sound to you?"
The world might remember Dutch indie studio Abbey Games for titles like Reus and Renowned Explores, but that didn’t stop the dev team from brainstorming new ideas. Earlier today, the company announced that they’re working on a new IP.
It's a 2D Black & White. I will probably give it a try, depending on the price.
I wish GOG would get Black & White on their storefront. I still have my discs but can't get it to run on Windows 10.
You're not the first person comparing this game to Black and White and I can't disagree with that, but there is one specific doubt that I can't get off my mind:
were players actually able to customize their religions in B&W? All I remember was telling people to have more children and occasionally tossing boulders at them!
As for buying it: it's on my wishlist but I want to wait a bit more before I decide... tons of these projects go through major overhauls before they see the light of day!
Today is the fifth anniversary of 2D god game, Reus from indie developers Abbey Games.
