Really cool ideas, really big problems.

So, to start out with the positiv. This game is a feast of ideas, if you like reading through lore, background info, sprinkled with esoterical mumbo-jumbo, yes you will love a big part of this game, as did i. There are so many cool ideas and things to do in this game, from murdering people, to influecing them, to buying literal libraries full of esoterical texts. You of course get to form your very own Cult, including an alien deity and followers to do your bidding! There are two things where they went really away from a good game. The first big problem is the interface. Basicaly the entire game is literaly played on a table in the voide. On this table are two kinds of things. Tasks, represented by large blocks with an apporpriate picture, and cards, which represent objects, knowldege, people, Emotions, skills etc. You always use these cards on the tasks to do literaly everything in the game. The cards snap to an invisible grid, making them at least somewhat able to organize, however you can't snap cards permanently to a place, so they can get scrambed up, either by you or by game itself, shoving another card into it's place! Not to mention the game glitches very often, as in, normaly two different cards can't occupie the same space, the glitche is that one card get's hidden underneath another one! And in the higher stages of the game you will easily have 200+ cards on the table. Now, all this only becomes a huge problem with the second issue: your "Dangers" TLDR you fall into illesss every 3 minutes, you are nearly going insane every 5 minutes, and all 6 minutes you get another inspector trying to imprison you, now you can either advert these dangers or stopp them dead on, but you need to keep in mind that you don't have infinite time. So the game is just a giant, long lasting attention test, since all of these dangers are so easily averted, the actualy difficulty is only in spotting them, and in this game, it's permadeath! All progress of several hours gone!

Magnificent game, super not for everyone

Cultist Simulator is unlike anything else I've played, though I've played a few other plate-spinners. The basic idea is very simple, and people saying "it doesn't have a tutorial" are only half right. It teaches you how to use all the tools at your disposal, and the entire rest of the game is you figuring out how to make progress, which is frequently nebulous until you spend enough time with the game to start to figure out the nuances. The writing is fantastic. Lovecraftian, but all the fiction is original, and the narratives created through your actions and through the interesting lore behind everything (which sounds like absolute nonsense at the outset, and begins to make more sense as you go) is very compelling in the early goings. The mechanics begin to get a little repetitive once you start figuring a lot of things out but aren't entirely sure how to make progress, so the game encourages you to take leaps of faith and try things that may or may not work, or may have unexpected consequences. And once you reach that middle stage, the things you DO know all about, despite still requiring your attention, become fairly easy to blow through quickly thanks to speeding up time, and since you can speed up, slow down, or pause at any moment, you're always good to avoid reading stuff you don't need to read, and to stop when you want to puzzle through a tough situation, think about how to proceed, or just read the narrative bits when something new happens. And the more you learn, the faster you go, as you'll begin to realize at any given time what is and isn't necessary for you to be doing. This is an absolutely great game for people who love to experiment, who prefer not to have their hands held through everything, and who enjoy great writing and original world-building. It's got some wonky points, but it's wonderful, and for the right audience it just might be one of the best games in quite a while.

Great Game. For a very specific audience

This game is not for everyone. At its core, it is a game of watching timers and reading a choose your own adventure book. Only the book isnt linear and not necessarily leading you towards an end. The puzzles can be obtuse and a lot of trial and error is needed to accomplish anything considered progress in this game. That being said. The atmosphere, the lore, and the writing in this game is absolutely high class. If you are into a game where the journey and the experience drives your notion of "fun" then this game will hit the right marks. It is a lot like reading a book and really diving into what the words mean to derive your next steps and actions. You are solving word puzzles, you are solving ephemeral quests and notions of immortality. It is a cultist simulator in that imagine what it would be like in real life if your goal was to look for ancient occult texts, deciphering their meaning, starting a cult, and reaching said immortality. If you use a guide, the game is going to feel incredibly easy and simple. The beauty of this game is purely in the journey and the experience of reading it. Like a good book. So this isnt for everyone. But for the people that it is for, it is really damn good.

An amazing experience

The whole game is about not knowing what happens if you make combinations at first. It's a game about trying and discovering the possibilities. About feeling the sensation of reward for discovering new features. If you were to began yourself at the dark arts, would there be a guide explaining every detail? I mean, it's not even hard to play for like 1 or 2 hours to understand the concepts. I guess everyone now just wants to beat games in 3 hours without dying once.

Excellent, unique, with some rough edges

I've been playing this for a few hours now, and this game is simultaneously obtuse and highly addictive. It's an old-school approach: It picks up immediately, and expects you to learn it as you go rather than doing any hand-holding. The timers keep things moving and maintain a sense of urgency, even making liberal use of the pause button, though I sometimes find myself getting too caught up in that feeling to give the prose and atmosphere their full due. And they are due a lot! It feels like I still haven't reliably figured out some things that ought to be basic. There are some quality of life improvements that would help a lot in terms of the UI (finding cards that occasionally get covered or auto-bumped by others is a particular annoyance), and it's occasionally irksome to know I'm about to die, that none of the cards I'm waiting on will be done in time to prevent it, and have to wait on that death timer to do its thing as every second ticking off rubs it in a little harder. While less than optimal, though, these issues haven't been enough to keep me from the rabbit hole of, "Just a little longer--oh, what's this bit do? Wait, how did it get to be 2 a.m.?"
