FAQ
1
Which game is closest to WorldBox?
The Universim and Reus 2 are the closest, both letting you play god over a growing world. For pure terrain-sculpting chaos, From Dust nails the feeling too.
2
Are strategy games like Civ a good substitute?
Not really. Games like Civ or Crusader Kings put you in charge of one nation with win conditions, while WorldBox is about godly chaos over a whole world. Stick to the god games above for the right feel.

Which is best if I want deeper emergent stories?
Dwarf Fortress, hands down. It generates entire worlds with centuries of history and endless emergent chaos, far deeper than WorldBox, though it's much more complex to learn.
