Black and White, it was a god simulator on PC in 2001. You interact with your villagers and the world as a floating hand, casting spells to raise faith in villages or throwing rocks to smite as necessary. You also got a giant pet that you could train to do your bidding.

Noclip did a doc about it recently (https://youtu.be/GtNvEna6bxc). I remember seeing it for the first time at a buddies place growing up, but I didn't have a strong enough computer to run it. I did though when black and white 2 came out and it was awesome! I feel the only thing comparable to it currently is the Anno series, no spells or anything but just city management and stuff.
Thanks for the link.
I played the second one ages ago. Nothing more creepy than being a bit of a dick to you people and have a voice whisper your name late at night.
(For those who don't know: the game would read your username and if it was in the database of soundfiles it would play that whisper at random, but long intervals.)
I used to play the shit out of that game.
That was a fun game! Would love to see a remake of it.
Even this bit?
All these years later it still haunts me...
