Cultist Simulator

It's way too boring as a game. It's a good worldbuilding exercise and might be a good book, but the game mechanics is just endlessly dragging cards into slots and waiting around, and the game constantly asks you to micromanage a dozen different tiny things where the optimal strategy is just to slow down and not do anything so you don't draw attention, and it just makes for an absolutely tedious gameplay experience. Just write a book, or maybe make a movie, I'd definitely buy those, but don't make it a game.

THE HIGHER I RISE THE MORE I SEE.

Like Minecraft for literature grad students

A priceless masterpiece, one made once in a generation, maybe less. Played by few, and understood by fewer. This game demands your faith and suffering, if you’re not able to offer these it’s best you leave this game alone

A technical, but intriguing card game. The key to success is endless experimentation and meticulous organization. A seemingly empty board becomes gradually filled with increasingly complex mechanics and interactions. A peaceful, yet challenging game. You set the pace! Admittedly, I had to pull the wiki just to know what the heck is going on. Otherwise, it's an immersing experience if you have the patience and imagination. 10/10 would recommend! P.S. Please make a sequel! Different settings and sources for reason/creativity is all I need. No need for fancy mechanics, just a sequential chapter in the same universe.

其实是很吃电波的合成大西瓜游戏一例（？ 喜欢看文本的大概率会喜欢此游因为无论是英文原文本还是翻译都太优秀了，比如我个人很喜欢的“please”与“我切切想望”，读起来完全是一种享受……但是游戏性好差啊我怀疑合成大西瓜更好玩更有受众一点为了读文本我为什么不直接上Wiki呢.jpg 但是文案实在优秀，而且虽然很难玩但是玩好了又莫名很上瘾？！ 而我等生来注定追求辉光，一如火花向上飞舞。

A little slow and tedious I cannot enthusiastically recommend. I like this game but it also frustrates me because I think it has more potential than it's execution really delivers, perhaps Book of Hours and Travelling at night will be better, but I will say at minimum do not play without QoL mods, it will save you so much time and needless frustration and tedium, (namely a couple shelf mods and The Wheel, looping jobs also feels much nicer to play with, (I threw a polyamory mod in too bc I thought it was ridiculous that wasn't allowed in vanilla)). However what keeps pulling me back in is the the worldbuilding and the bold decision to not explain a single part of how the game works or what to do, it creates this wonderfully rewarding experience when you finally start to piece the mysteries together, words that once sounded like utter nonsense suddenly make perfect sense, its the kind of game where every glance at the wiki comes with a bit of guilt that I should have figured it out on my own. I found myself beginning to roleplay as a cultist more and more, coming up with thematic names for each of my characters. Question everything, read every scrap of lore you can, and dedicate yourself to chaos, and the unexpected hours. Even I have so much to learn.

The Dread/Contentment cycle is not hard but plain annoying. Instead of focusing on uncovering what mystical stuff there are, you have to do a muscle memory ordeal to deal with Dread. How often? Every couple mins! Game seemed ok just long enough that I cant get a refund.
