Enter the High Rooms of the Mansus

Cultist Simulator is an immersive and addictive rogue-like solitaire game. But, more importantly, it's true to its name. When you are playing, you ARE a cultist, no - a cult LEADER. Unless you just want to work as a clerk, hoping you get your raises before depression gets to you - mundane life is also a cult iof sorts. But if you decide to looks beyond the filthy skin of the world - all sorts of wonders, excitements and horrors await. You are free to choose your temptation and pursue it as best as you can: share your knowledge with other people and recruit them, strengthening your cult, consult prominent scholars and discover hidden lore, avoid the gaze of the Suppression Bureau (or just destroy evidence and get rid of nosy investigators), organize expeditions, fight curses, summon alien beings, using forgotten rites - and then sacrifice those beings, because they're weak in Aspect you seek. All of your cult's strength serves one purpose - discover the Mansus among the Wood, approach it, penetrate the Gates - and ascend to the High Rooms, where the Hours debate and Glory is close. Shed the flesh, walk in the footsteps of the Watchman - and you will never grow old.

Uniquely Enjoyable Experience

TL;DR - An enjoyable narrative puzzle game with RPG aspects and a Lovecraftian atmosphere. Good if you like slow, methodical gameplay with empasis on story. A long while back, I was introduced to the world of Fallen London. Before I knew it, Sunless Seas was in development and was showing promise in Early Access. Throughout my time spent playing Sunless Sea, I love the card system that was used to note objects, places, aspects, and many other pieces of the world that were relevant and useful to the player. From these cards, the player could better understand nature of the world around them as well as being provided a very simple mechanism for aiding in immersion. Cultist Simulator game takes the conceptual framework around this card system and makes it the primary focus of play. Again, you are provided cards to represent the various animate, inanimate, and abstract objects of the world placed before you. There are primary functions you use to "transform" or "operate" on the given cards to produce various different results depending on the function and/or any extra cards to "buff" or "direct" the outcome of the function. Each card contains a descriptor of its contents and its relevance to the games world. Upon passing a card to a function, a piece a the narrative is presented to you while the operation takes place. Longer operations that have multiple passes will usually have more of narrative components to share with you, in depth, if not in length. Ever now and then, procedural or "randomly", other functions will present themselves on the board to represent an event or relevant change in the world. Upon immediate observation, the gameplay is very simple, but that does not mean it is an easy game. There is very little hand holding to guide you to the endgame. This is very much, in a sense, a rouge-lite in the regard that you will mostly likely "die" several times through your journey to one of the many ends.

Неудобная игра с уникальной атмосферой

Pro: - Уникальный сеттинг. Это не очередной слегка перекрашенный Лавкрафт/По/Кинг/Баркер. - Отличный райтинг. Игра написана очень красиво. - Музыка великолепна. Con: - Высокий порог входа и никакого обучения. И да, это недостаток, а не фича. - Игра хреновенько сбалансирована. Например, проклятья в первой половине игры наносят непоправимый урон без возможности защиты от них. - Минималистичный неудобный интефейс. - Много рутины.

Excellently written but missing QOL

The writing in both this game and Book of Hours makes the occult genuinely otherworldly; even mundane activities like reading become uncanny. I couldn't try to explain the lore without sounding appropriately insane. If you look up explanations of proper nouns on the game's wiki, you'll learn more and yet know less than if you just meander through the poetry of it all. That's a feat, and it's worth celebrating. This is very likely one of the top three best written games of all time. That being said, and a design philosophy of obfuscation and toil acknowledged, this really is missing some needed QOL features. Skill cards (Health, Passion, Reason) should auto-stack once they're finished recharging if there's a stack on the playing field rather than constantly making a giant messy pile. There's no reason Dread should grab the newest Contentment on the field rather than the one closest to expiring, it does it so consistently that it can't be an accident, and it makes it harder to play around Dread even when you know how it works. More controversially, given the game's intended design, I also think the work queue should be automatable, as in "continue to perform X job for as long as X skill card exists to fuel it". It wouldn't work for painting, but for the simplest jobs it's just unnecessary wrist strain to keep that loop going over and over and over and over, and it doesn't prove anything about what's being learnt about the game. It really is great, though.

An most unusual game

In its core, on could describe "Cultist simulator" as a resourcemanagement game, but in truth it is so much more than that. While managing certain resources is an important part of the gameplay, the most interesting part of the game is its presentation. It begins with the cards, that are the main part of the game. The artwork is unique and adds so much atmosphere to the game. Every card, every event has its own art and colourful description. The writing is pretty much perfect, it draws you into the world and gives me a "just more minute..." feeling. The game itself centers around an anonymous maincharacter, and how he delves into a hidden supernatural world, the atmosphere is dark and mysterious. And just like the secrets of the world are revealed to the character, so are the secrets of the gameplay to the player. There is no tutorial, you pretty much have to figure out everything by yourself, which fits the whole theme of delving into a different, strange world, but can make it frustrating sometime, if you die and dont know why. You cant write too much about the game without spoiling something. It has rougelike elements, in that, if you die, you start as a new character and have to begin from the start. In short: It is a perfect game to lose yourself in, particularly if you like deep, convoluted but still very unique and interesting lore. But the exploring part can get boring if you died for the 20th time and have to make a new beginning and basically wait and click through your cards until you can find new stuff again. All in all "Cultist Simulator" provides an unique experiance, and is certainly worth its money if you are interested in reading interesting lore and learning to manipulate a supernatural world with its own rules.
