Cult Vacui

Cult Vacui is a great pixel art point and click with an interesting timer system and multiple possible outcomes

A nice and short point-and-click game that'll take up 2-3 hours of your time. The game borrows the time management system from the Don't Escape games (mainly Don't Escape 2) where some impending danger is coming, and you only have a limited amount of time to prepare for it. Time is essentially a limited resource, but is only "spent" when performing certain actions or traveling between areas. I really enjoy this realistic pixel art style, and this game does it very well. The plot is a simple, but solid cultist horror story with possession and summoning rituals involving powerful malevolent deities. Puzzles are fairly simple and straightforward, which works since the main challenge is managing your time and figuring out the best route to follow. Regarding the dialogue, while nothing is really grammatically incorrect, it does feel a little awkward at times, where you can tell it was translated from another language and touched up afterwards. In addition, there are a few bugs that make navigating the UI or pause menus a little clunky, but ultimately nothing that prevented progress. Overall, I definitely enjoyed my short time with this game. I do wish it was a little longer, but I hope to see more like this from the developers, or possibly even a sequel that dives more into this game's universe.

Amazingly fun game to play in an afternoon. Story is intriguing and pulls you into it. The puzzles while made me pause were never frustrating or annoying by any means. I'd love to see a follow up within the same world and style.

If you like pixel-art and what I call “Dark Worlds” [i]Cult Vacui [/i] is defiantly for you. It is an atmospheric point and click adventure with an interesting feature that literally gives you a ticking clock to work against – which means you do not have the luxury of striving around endlessly. While the puzzles are not that complicated this element makes a little planning and thinking while you work necessary. The game is short, clocking in under 2 hours even if you try for all endings and outcomes, but for the price that is fine. the Art work is superb and the story, while not comply innovative, is well told and interesting. So, if you are into this kind of games, please give it a try. Also: Marduk Fh’tagn!

A fun time management puzzle and interesting story presented in beautiful pixel art. Short but well worth the asking price.

Very pretty, very fun. Reminded me a bit of these old "choose your own adventure" books. I was engaged enouth to explore all the different endings. Highly recommend.

It's too short. Main puzzle is good, but the rest feels lacking.

Pretty simple, reasonable puzzles, good point and click.
