A play-driven city powered by algorithms and automation, where humans only create and enjoy while the underground Automa—once mere machines—silently sustain New Babylon from a sealed, lightless world below.

About This Game

Game World Overview

In a distant future, humanity has evolved into Homo Ludens—beings who abandon labor, production, and order, choosing instead to live inside a massive, automated playground-city known as New Babylon.
Here, everything is operated by algorithms and mechanical systems; humans only play, create, and enjoy. To them, labor is a sin, and play is divine.

Beneath this utopian spectacle lies a sealed, lightless world called the Engine Tomb—the hidden foundation of New Babylon. Its energy and stability are maintained by the Automa, machines once created by humans and now forgotten, locked away in silence.

You play as The Clockwork Boy, an awakened maintenance Automa who discovers a faint crack of light, a distant melody, and the possibility of a different kind of “freedom.” From the depths of the Engine Tomb, you climb toward the layered illusion of New Babylon, seeking to understand why humans alone are allowed to play.

A Roguelike Vertical Platformer

God’s Playground is a 2.5D action platformer with a roguelike structure built around pressure, timing, and repeated ascent.

Core Loop

  • A countdown timer is always ticking.

  • Reach the next Safe Zone before the timer reaches zero.

  • Explore shifting levels generated after each reset.

Explore Three Layers of the City

Engine Tomb

The mechanical underworld that powers New Babylon—conveyor belts, rotating structures, and a never-ending industrial heartbeat.

Mirage Grid

A simulated “fake sky world” built from illusions, mirrored layouts, floating rooms, and optical tricks designed by Homo Ludens.

New Babylon

A radiant city designed purely for play—bridges, towers, and platforms arranged as a playground for those who never labor.

Visual & Narrative Inspiration

Visual style inspired by Constant Nieuwenhuys’ New Babylon and conceptual architecture: geometric grids, floating modular spaces, and expressive colors.

Ideology and Conflict

The Homo Ludens Agency maintains control not through force but through spectacle and simulation.
To them, the underground is “death.”
To you, it becomes the path toward meaning.

Cinematic moments reveal fragments of memory and ideology as you uncover your place between labor, freedom, and play.

A Story of Creation, Time, and Rebellion

God’s Playground is about reclaiming the right to play—by a machine who was never allowed to.
