Games with wish mechanics
| Other notable games include nethack and caves of qud which function kinda similarly with their wishes. Moonring is an honorable mention. It doesn't have "wishes" per se but moreso different actions that can earn you favor with gods who will sometimes reward you. They really make the gods feel like actual entities you're personally interacting with (and sort of are kind of)
| Actually elona
| elin too I guess these two game have an actual Theology system around gods worshiping
| I mean Scribblenauts is the GOAT of this very specific thing
| >>1047037 yeahhhi remember it having something like that but elona just wasn't really my thing unfortunately
>>1047053 you're so right actually brb buying the scribblenauts collection on my switch
| not sure if this counts but in a few SMT games you can beg demons to give you shit or to spare you life. I know in SMT IV it leads to funny convsations where they would get annoyed and if you do it enough they might get fed up with your shit and leave the battle.

"few"? g/u/rl this is the series's staple, every mainline SMT games have this mechanic.
Didn't think of it that way but yeah I guess demon conversation fits the op's definition. It's not really random, each demon have their own temperament and such and you can guess which dialogue will make them happy or make them hate your guts.

| I'm asking for something really niche here. But I wanna know what other games there are out there that have mechanics based around making a wish or some kind of request that's out of the player's hands. The best example I know of is D&D where a DM interprets it and acts on it. But that's not a vidya! Second best i can think of is Fear and Hunger where you write certain messages onto empty scrolls to ask the gods for items or to teach you skills.
