Black & White

Story

The player begins on an island as a new god created by the prayers of a family. After saving their drowning son, the god follows the grateful family to their village. Later, a large creature is discovered that tells of its former master, a god named Nemesis, who wants to rule as the only true god by destroying all others. The player learns about the Creed, an energy source with the ability to destroy gods. Nemesis destroys his former creature and attacks the village. A mysterious vortex opens, which the player enters to escape Nemesis. The player is taken to a second island and greeted by another god, Khazar. Khazar reveals that it was he who sent the vortex and asks for help against another god, Lethys, Nemesis' subordinate, in exchange for resources to rebuild the village. Later, Nemesis destroys Khazar and steals his share of the creed. Lethys then kidnaps the player's creature and takes it through a vortex. In the third land, the creature is held in stasis by three magical pillars. After the creature is freed, Lethys gives the player a piece of the creed and opens a vortex where another can be found. The player returns to the first land, now cursed by Nemesis; fireballs and lightning rain from the sky. After the curses are lifted by destroying the three guardian stones and claiming the piece of the creed, Nemesis appears and invites the player into his realm. On the final island, Nemesis curses the player's creature, causing it to slowly change its alignment, shrink, and become weaker. When the player has received the last piece of the creed, he destroys Nemesis and is left as the only god in the world.
