Appease The Gods by japes
Ah, the eternal cycle of sow and reap. Agricultural society really is stuck in a loop, if you think about it.
(and that's really all my game has to do with the theme, I'm afraid. Judge me harshly if you must!)
In this game you play as the village shaman trying to figure out what the gods want through trial and error. Every game the gods have a random commandment. Every night they give you a clue as to what it might be by judging your actions from the previous day. Try to figure out what they are before you run out of food.
For what it's worth, I've tidied things up a bit and uploaded a post-jam version :) should be a more pleasant experience.

I guess it worth to add a tutorial like: if you do X you improve Y, if you do Z you lose
I really liked the sound design though!
The controls could have been a more refined, but for this game that is not important. Also, those googly eyes of those judging gods are pretty funny
