Throngs is a god simulation game where AI-driven pixel creatures called "Throngs" come to life through GPT-5's language generation, each developing unique personalities and relationships through dynamic conversations. Players act as a deity in randomly generated isometric worlds, typing divine messages that trigger contextually-aware responses reflecting each Throng's emotional state, devotion level, and relationship history. Beyond conversation, players can nurture their followers by planting food, feeding them directly, or cleaning them with divine powers, while Throngs autonomously bathe in lakes and interact with each other, forming friendships or rivalries based on GPT-5's evaluation of their conversations. Their devotion level fluctuates based on whether their god proves benevolent or cruel in their conversations.
