About

Build your cult. Spread the mold. Watch the sky bloom with yellow eyes, click to decay beautifully.

Reality is a thin scab over the void.
It festers.
A yellow stain blooms at the edge of your vision.
Alive. Hungry.
It whispers your name in the language of rot.
You obey.

Cult of the Yellow King is a cosmic horror idle game where you command a cult to summon the Yellow King.
With every click, you surrender another fragment of yourself: memory, tongue, flesh. Each prayer gnaws at your humanity.
Each sacrifice bleeds you hollow.
This is not a path to power, it is a descent into beautiful oblivion.

Generators whisper secrets that scar.
Upgrades demand teeth, skin, sanity.
Unlock fragmented tales of dread as you progress.
Each milestone a fresh horror.
Your skin crawls. Walls grow eyes.
The sky bleeds yellow.
Ascend by shattering your progress.
Choose an elder curse. Begin again, deeper in devotion.

Black metal dirges by Merhum.
Hymns for the end of reason.
The mold has rooted in your throat.
The stars blink shut.
He approaches…
Click, and let the beautiful decay consume you.

I don’t normally play incremental games, but the art style this one drew me in. I like the prestige system in this one. It works kind of like a quest system however, at least in this early stage, I find that cosmic insight and the other main currency accumulate a much faster than the yellow mold so you’ll often just be sitting there waiting for it and maybe it’s we’re just a problem with my copy, but I didn’t seem to be gathering resources when I wasn’t playing the game, but this is all early access so I’ll probably leave a another review when it’s done, I’d still recommend buying it though.
amazing idle game, i've always been a big fan of idle games and a huge fan of Lovecraft and the broader Cthulhu mythos and this game blends both perfectly with a story that is actually very interesting to follow and as a metal head the sound track is amazing, honestly could not ask for a better game saw the game title in a meme with no context and decided to look into it and absolutely stuck gold
its like cookie clicker
Extremely promising so far. I'm not normally a fan of clicker games, but I am a fan of the King in Yellow. This is an impressive implementation of both. Despite having a few mechanical/technical kinks to work out the game itself is solid. As you play an actual story line progresses, which keeps you invested and breaks up the monotony typically found in this kind of game. As you play the screen fills up with excellently grotesque artwork. The black metal soundtrack is excellent, too.
潜力很大的游戏,但目前的内容太少,需要更多更新。先给个好评观望一下

Прикольная игра:3
Neat idling game with some cool concepts, however very short. Why a negative review? Placeholder upgrades. Some of those yellow revelation upgrades would have been nice. Shame they're tied to prestige 4, which crashed to desktop. I'm also not making a separate save just to prestige another 5 times for the achievement. If it weren't for the cool aesthetic and sick tunes I would have refunded it. Instead you get to keep my 3$ for a negative review.
либо я конченый либо это шедевр, в армию взяли значит здоров
This isn't a game: this is a "boot it up and leave it running in the background" app. I kinda hope it's mining crypto: at least then it serves some benefit to someone.
