Description



Cultist Simulator is a game of apocalypse and yearning from Alexis Kennedy, creator of Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Play as a seeker after unholy mysteries, in a 1920s-themed setting of hidden gods and secret histories. Perhaps you're looking for knowledge, or power, or beauty, or revenge. Perhaps you just want the colours beneath the skin of the world.
In this roguelike narrative card game, what you find may transform you forever. Every choice you make, from moment to moment, doesn't just advance the narrative - it also shapes it.
Become a scholar of the unseen arts. Search your dreams for sanity-twisting rituals. Craft tools and summon spirits. Indoctrinate innocents. Seize your place as the herald of a new age.

In this 20-40 hour game, you'll:
Combine cards to tell your own story in a rich, Lovecraftian world of ambition, appetite and abomination. Corrupt your friends. Consume your enemies. There is never only one history.
Found a cult, dedicated to the Red Grail, or the Witch-and-Sister, or the Forge of Days. Recruit Believers and promote them to Disciples to serve as burglars, researchers, cat's-paws. Use your disciples to keep you fed - or feed on your disciples.
Unravel arcane, unacknowledged mysteries. Translate grimoires and glean their lore. Locate and pillage the Star Shattered Fane. Penetrate the realm of the Hours, and win a place in their service. Perhaps - if you are very cunning - you may even glimpse the Mansus.
Outwit rivals, investigators and the increasingly suspicious Authorities. Your own altered Appetites may force you to act abominably, but your Cause must not be stopped.
Transcend death with a story-driven legacy system. Perhaps your inheritors will complete the Rite of the Crucible Soul. Perhaps they'll find peace in a pleasing career. Perhaps they'll bring the Dawn.

User reviews
I feel like one of the definitive qualities of a good indie title is how weird it is willing to get. Cultist Simulator is different than anything else on the market, to the point where it's hard to point out a genre.
This game crowbarred open the floorboards of my mind and nestled in snugly beneath, a bit like a wild animal, a bit like a handyman, and a bit like a transplanted heart.
I rate it as ok. More of a cryptic puzzle than a game. After 15 ours I still don't have it figured out. Gameplay gets me hooked but I have to be in a certain mood (am I ok with being confused today) to get the urge to
About the game, it's tideously long, more than it probably should be, it's methodical. It claims to make you discover things, not in reality you are mad man, trying to hit every wall, untill you either gain enough
To be honest, I feel like I'm losing my mind playing this game. In a really good way. The confusion, stress, and searching for clues perfectly mirrors the content of this game. Very excited to play the sequel.
I want to like it, but the RNG absurdly weighted against you. It takes an hour+ to get through the starting loop (grinding for money is insufferable) and then as soon as you start doing well it will hit you with a
