Cultist Simulator

I have played HOURS of this game, and I love it. If you're like me, exploring the mythology of the world will be a fascinating experience of discovery for you, and I think it neatly captures what the 1920s occult themes that people often call "Lovecraftian" perfectly. If you like that sort of game, it's well worth your time and I don't feel like I've wasted my money. That said, certain elements of the game are particularly grindy and similar, such as building up your stats. There's also some RNG, which isn't crippling, but if you're trying to build a particular cult, and you can't find anyone with the appropriate aspect, it's really irritating, but it tends to involve looking for a new recruit, waiting and waiting and waiting for the heat to die, find out that you got the wrong recruit, rinse and repeat ad nauseum or until you get the guy you wanted. Still, I felt a real sense of victory when I managed to beat the game, and the RNG can sometimes create wonderful anecdotes to tell people. I think it's a really great game with some very frustrating elements that limit the long-term replayability. With that caveat, I do recommend it.

woke in an unknown life with simple needs and simple means. I lived. I died. I lived again. Through it all, some esoteric calling pulled me forward. Then an end. Happiness found in work and a simple life. But I could not rest. Not when hints of power sprinkled across my hours like snow on bleak obsidian. I read. I painted. I grew a following. I adopted a lover. All of these experiences wound across my psyche, fighting against the dread and infamy. Still, some thing whispers of power unseen. Perhaps tonight, I will discover the covered path left to me by entities unknown. Or perhaps, I will succumb to the vagaries of my own visions, unable to recognize the rest of the world any longer. But if it all comes to an end, something will wake me up again tomorrow. Weaker. But wiser.

Bought the game earlier today and have played it for 5-6 hours. Conclusion: I regret buying it. I think there is a nice game hidden somewhere, but as of now it needs a lot of rework. My biggest problems are: UI: Text is difficult to read, the zoom doesn't help, no way of organizing the "cards" Game: Still unsure of what game I am playing - no help, no manual, no tutorial, nothing to set me on the right track - it is not exploration. It is a design flaw that needs to be fixed. The writing is good. There is some nice concepts with hunters and death being part of the progression in the game (I think - again, no documentation is given). If you are just looking: Wait 8-10 months and then give it a shot.

Barely a game, definitely not fun, if i wanted to watch timers run i would be on my phone Terrible UI doesnt help either, but that's not much of a problem when you have pause I want my 3 hours back / 5 But really Im giving this 2 stars because it had me "playing" for 3 hours either way That has to mean something

After an interesting first game I would say I will keep playing. However, I think it needs music and better sound effects.
