ValleyGods is a simulation of twelve thousand years of human lives on a living globe, from 10,000 BCE. Watch free forever — zoom from the planet to a village and read what each person is thinking. Follow a bloodline, answer their prayers, found a world of your own, or sign in, occupy a life, and play their god: your nudges and commands are interpreted by each person's Spark, and they may resist. Free to play. Every person is fictional; the town doesn't pause when you leave.

Could you build this?
Partial The globe UI and zoom are vibe-codeable, but simulating twelve thousand years of individual lives and generating what each person thinks requires a sophisticated simulation engine and significant LLM or generative compute.
What it would actually take: The stack is a WebGL or Three.js globe with level-of-detail zoom, a server-side simulation of populations, kinship, and events, and an LLM layer generating individual inner monologues on demand. The hard parts are designing a simulation that is coherent over millennia, controlling inference cost at scale, and keeping historical plausibility. This needs experienced simulation and systems engineers plus a meaningful compute budget.
