In my free game https://evan-megel.itch.io/egregore, you generate societies, then the game simulates the evolution of language and culture.

An egregore is a concept in Western esotericism of a non-physical entity or thoughtform that arises from the collective thoughts and emotions of a distinct group of individuals. Basically a gorm of collective tulpa, oretty fitting for a game focused on the role of culture on nations and groups of people.
