Sunderborn

You are the Creator!

You are the Creator — a Demiurge capable of creating worlds. Your task is to gather the necessary resources, transform them into building materials, and shape your own unique reality. Drawing upon the power of the World under your control, you will be able to challenge other Creators. However, before that, you must complete several intermediate steps:

• Transform the surrounding Chaos into Primordial Elements

• Summon Lesser Gods to aid you

• Forge alliances with friendly Creators

Resources

Resource gathering, also known as “Chaos Transformation,” is a logic-based puzzle. The player is faced with a vast Chaos Field, which contains hidden Primordial Elements grouped into sets of seven — called Seeds. There are six elements, divided into three pairs of antagonists: Fire ↔ Water, Life ↔ Death and Astral ↔ Mind. Antagonistic elements can never be placed next to each other.

This rule is the core clue for solving the puzzle. The player must determine which Primordial Element is located in each position. The more accurate the player’s guesses are, the greater the reward. In addition to Primordial Elements, the player also receives Energy and various Artifacts — all of which serve as the fundamental building materials of the future World.

The Chaos Field itself changes over time. Depending on the player’s actions, these changes may either help or hinder progress. Within the field, the player may encounter Guardians, which block nearby Seeds. They must be dealt with in order to continue transforming Chaos.

Pantheon

You can summon assistants to serve you — Lesser Gods. Each of them grants the Creator a unique ability, and together they form your personal Pantheon. Lesser Gods differ in their elements, power, and relationships with one another.

Gods can create synergies with both positive and negative effects. These synergies are triggered by summoning gods from different groups at the same time — and even by their relative positions within the Pantheon.
