    It's a semi-behind-the-scenes story, but not a creation-themed one. It's more about creating a world in a special sense, where the protagonist's ultimate goal is to become a creator god (you could say the protagonist's future). The main focus is saving the world, turning it into a game with unlimited save/load capabilities (though many (crossed out) instances don't allow saving). You choose a savior hero to start the game, and the game character materializes in the real world. Save/load might involve time loops or the replacement of causal lines in parallel worlds; I don't quite understand the time aspect. There are some Cthulhu elements. Currently, the plot involves the protagonist controlling the Deep Ones to put Cthulhu, who was awakened before the stars were aligned, back into slumber. However, this also alerts the "Judgment Star," and three months later, when the stars are aligned, the protagonist will clash with Cthulhu.
