Cultist Simulator

Another excellent game from the mind of Alexis Kennedy. (Pity about the sex-pest thing). The writing is amazing, telling just enough in small snippets to let the mind fill in the gaps. But the real shining point is the gameplay. It is obtuse and unexplained, making you feel just like the character you play as, gradually falling deeper and deeper into the conspiracies and the rituals, until the mechanics that were so difficult when you began are second-nature. This is the point that the game shines: when you begin to find the patterns and the world unlocks.

I’ve been craving a game of such sublimity and poetic tempo. Masterfully made.

They’re not kidding - there’s no tutorial. But there are hints sprinkled through the game letting you know some things you could try. Remember, it’s a rogue-like, so don’t be afraid to die a few times. The Darkness doesn’t render up its secrets easily…

As much as it’s initial charm has been delightful to steep myself into, I can’t help but find myself starving or getting murdered before a great deal of the “cult” stuff begins. I’ve dove into about 20 games now, experimented to my hearts content, but haven’t managed to achieve proper cult status nor found a successful ending. That aside, the music, sfx, art style, and concept are all fantastic. But the countdown gameplay makes it difficult to revel in the delightful storytelling delivered through text. It seems a bit hindered this way. At the price it is, it’s easy to recommend. But the gameplay itself is so conflicted in its design and comes with a learning curve Im certain very few have overcome. I think it’s interesting, but demands far more than just your interest to keep playing (which I think very few people will afford it).

I wanted to try this for a while and it doesn’t disappoint. Gameplay is not for everyone so read and look at a video before buying. BUT if this is your type of game it does it insanely good. The writing needed to be good enough to keep the time and resource management parts interesting and they went leaps and bounds further than they needed to. All in all if you like older browser style time management games mixed with point and click adventure mentalities all wrapped in a card based rouge like than you will love this game

This game does not reveal its secrets to all. But to the worthy, the Mansus gives generously. Do not mistake the Mansus’ generosity for kindness.

And also, not every pc ported games are supported continuously like this game. Great game ported by great company

What a cool, mysterious, intriguing game! I must admit I was frustrated at first not knowing what was going on but thats part of the beauty of it, the writing is so interesting and you do slowly start understanding how the game works. Like a great mystery novel that keeps you guessing all the way through, Cultist Simulator is one of the best games on the app store and 1000000 bonus points to the devs for not ruining it in a ‘pay to play’ way. Classic stuff, keep the dlc coming and please make more games like this!

It is hard. It won’t hold your hand. But discovering everything is SOOOO rewarding. This is a gem. You can’t compare this to anything. It really is a beast of it’s own. I just can’t put it down!

It is SO difficult to get health. Like, I can’t even count on 1 hand how many times I’ve died from having no health, and I’ve only been playing this game for a few hours. Please do something about that lol
