Fata Deum, a god game where you have to convert citizens living across an island to your faith, released in early access on Steam.

From the blurb:

Sacrifice them to summon a mortal or kill them and use their corpses to resurrect some zombies!

That being said:

1. I'm not totally sure that realism is necessarily the best complaint when it comes to the capabilities of a god in a god game.
2. It seems like one could issue that complaint about most games. I don't think any, say, tennis games let you murder your opponent, though that's clearly at least a possibility in real life.

For what it's worth, sales upon early access release (or even 1.0 release) is somewhat common in the indie scene.

I believe the goal is to try and convert as many wishlists into sales.
