Cult Vacui

I had a lot of fun playing this game. Similar to the Don't Escape franchise in terms of gameplay but a lot more supernatural.

Such a fantastic short experience!! The story was amazing and I actually loved the time management piece because it made you really thing about what order you needed to do certain things. 5 stars - seriously just love the music, atmosphere, puzzles and art style <3

good game. arts prety solid throughout i cant say anything bad about the visuals. i decided to purchase this game after watching someone play it I DO NOT recommend watching a playthrough or even a single vide of the game. its got a demo that will give you a solid idea of what you are buying for the full game. watching that video probably halved my playtime. Edit: i almost forgot and i think its a very minor thing i did encounter a bug that did fix itself while playing but i do not recommend you bring up the pause menu when talking to someone. the game loops and stutters for a few moments while it figures itself out. nothing terrible and very easily avoided not a deal braker at all. value for money i got just under 90 minutes of playtime i paid 6 bucks for that. movie ticket can be double or triple that depending on the theatre so pure time spend i got a decent chunk for what i paid. and like i said i probably sped through the game very quickly because i was familiar with the dialog from that video i watched. so not knowing dialog and item locations this would be even more bang for your buck and its fun. Its a fun game i was kinda worried it would be hyper strict with what order you must do things in and where you must spend your time. but running it as best i could on a second run i still had like a quarter of my time remaining. so theres definitely some wiggle room to be had there. theres not really that classic point and click bs you might expect from the genre. a few unexpected events but otherwise everything makes at least some sense. honestly if you're looking for just a quick little bite of quality to have fun with this is a good game to do that.

Short game but definitely worth the purchase, point and click puzzles, decisions use time (not conversation etc. which is nice), a few different endings as well.Would love to see more of this and it further expanded in the future.

It's a really fun point and click, reminiscent of the Don't Escape series. Worth the price of admission every step of the way!

interesting mechanics. wish it was longer (which is good)

very fun

A fun point and click game that reminds me of the dont escape flash games of my youth that I would play on the schools computer lab. While a little simple in plot and art, it posses a charming and forbidding soul. It may not reinvent the wheel but its short and sweet.

I just finished the game in 1h40 (with different endings). Overall I really liked the game. In the first 5 minutes I was immersed in the story. It reminds me greatly of Shadow of the Comet, a classic Lovecraftian Point & Click (you are in a small island, stucked with deadly cultists and you have to prevent them from achieving their ritual). The puzzles are not too hard, I did not need to look for a guide, but they were enough challenging. I like the aesthetic so much. The biggest issue I have is that the game is too short ! I would have liked a 2 hours more. I really hope the team will come up with other games like this :)

"Cult Vacui" is a valiant effort to present a point-and-click survival adventure with a time management system, but I must admit I was expecting more. All the puzzles are very straightforward, it’s obvious what you have to do to prepare yourself for an optimal defense against the attack of the cult, and it’s hard to miss anything important. Hard, but not impossible, because the fairly strict time restriction doesn’t allow for much leeway in your sequence of events. Thanks to the manual save system, though, you can easily go back a few steps and do things differently, resulting in a game that takes less time to finish than I took writing this review. It still lacks some polish, but the pixel art graphics are a joy to behold, the haunting music will keep you on the edge of your seat, and the story is suspenseful enough to keep you going. You’d think that defeating an evil cult might require a little more time and effort, but all in all, it’s a tidy bit of business for a couple hours of work. https://adventuregamehotspot.com/review/6550/cult-vacui
