Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.57/day in the week to Aug 14 → 8.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Cultist Simulator is a game of apocalypse and yearning from Alexis Kennedy, creator of Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Play as a seeker after unholy mysteries, in a 1920s-themed setting of hidden gods and secret histories. Perhaps you're looking for knowledge, or power, or beauty, or revenge. Perhaps you just want the colours beneath the skin of the world.
In this roguelike narrative card game, what you find may transform you forever. Every choice you make, from moment to moment, doesn't just advance the narrative - it also shapes it.
Become a scholar of the unseen arts. Search your dreams for sanity-twisting rituals. Craft tools and summon spirits. Indoctrinate innocents. Seize your place as the herald of a new age.
In this 20-40 hour game, you'll:
Combine cards to tell your own story in a rich, Lovecraftian world of ambition, appetite and abomination. Corrupt your friends. Consume your enemies. There is never only one history.
Found a cult, dedicated to the Red Grail, or the Witch-and-Sister, or the Forge of Days. Recruit Believers and promote them to Disciples to serve as burglars, researchers, cat's-paws. Use your disciples to keep you fed - or feed on your disciples.
Unravel arcane, unacknowledged mysteries. Translate grimoires and glean their lore. Locate and pillage the Star Shattered Fane. Penetrate the realm of the Hours, and win a place in their service. Perhaps - if you are very cunning - you may even glimpse the Mansus.
Outwit rivals, investigators and the increasingly suspicious Authorities. Your own altered Appetites may force you to act abominably, but your Cause must not be stopped.
Transcend death with a story-driven legacy system. Perhaps your inheritors will complete the Rite of the Crucible Soul. Perhaps they'll find peace in a pleasing career. Perhaps they'll bring the Dawn.

Reviews
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.

Are you a worm, or a bird? The bird flies high and feeds on worms, but the worm digs deep and will eventually feed on every bird.
I literally have no idea on how this game works: cards and icons popping up like poisonous mushrooms, no clear indication of what does what, no clear guide, and if not planning the entire layout at the start the board will descend in total chaos fast
他们会在哪里将我找见与岂有最苦，苦海无渡乃我永恒的归宿
I am sure it would be fun, if I knew how to not "die" after 5 minutes.
Отличный, изощренный лор: лишь спустя десятки часов картинка начинает складываться, а собирать ее действительно интересно Плохой гейм-дизайн: после того как понимаешь основные механики, игра скатывается в гринд (для концовки на нг+ это буквально десятки часов гринда без права на ошибку) Рекомендую тем, у кого много свободного времени и нереализованного спгс
Honestly very unique board game system that i enjoyed a lot. Hard to start due to lack of any real direction but I think long term it improves the occult feel of the game
The meta narrative of this game becomes extremely clear when you learn to accept that it's okay to not understand what you're looking at. Let yourself be okay with being lost & confused, and it'll make for a better experience. I promise.
People describe this as a repellant game and I can't dispute that. It barely tells you what to do and the path to victory is shrouded in veils. But if you decide to dive in and unravel its mysteries, with some persistence and outside the box thinking, you will find a unique and rewarding experience.
数值平衡优越，叙事手法诡谲，考据态度严谨。和极乐迪一起堪称无战斗类CRPG里不可翻越的两座人类学高山…… 以下是对新手无益的玩家间攻击： 无wiki一周目稍微摸索耐心读读提示就能完成也不用看脸，玩二周目全成就才开始上坐牢强度硬roll点。打个游戏连wiki都不会查就别打了吧回家吧孩子回家去。解密游戏里社区交流玩家互助的过程难道不也该被包含在游戏玩法里吗？它都密教了难道你指望用白话传教？你以为自己在玩马克思主义模拟器搞下基层工农互助呢！
