They must direct their creatures to perform various miracles and other actions and, from time to time, overcome the challenges thrown at them by the other gods of the realm. The game begins with players in one city. As belief builds, other characters in the game start treating the creature differently. Gamers can either turn their creature to the white side by protecting citizens and helping villagers or to the dark side by destroying towns and terrorizing everyone. The world of Black & White is based on belief, and each action a player makes either adds white or black to their belief color. The interesting part of Black & White, and the aspect of the game referenced in the title, is that players can make their creature either good or bad. In Black & White, gamers create their own monster to serve as the primary commander of their forces. A compilation pack of the world sim Black & White and its expansion pack, Creature Isle.
