Honey, I Joined a Cult

It's ironic that the tutorial is ~30 minutes of pause screens and walls of text because this is one of the most simple and repetitive games I've ever played.

TLDR: Good idea, poorly executed. The game is horribly bottle necked by HR. 99.9% of the people you have the chance to recruit are awwwwful. I blew through a whole playthrough doing nothing but trying to find one useful person to add to the cult just becoming more and more disillusioned with the game and not wanting to continue playing. skip this and go straight to Oxygen Not Included for a better base builder.

Good concepts. Pro: Want a game where you just want to play a game to play a 'Cult Simulator'? Want to play a game where you want to manage with a knee deep experience and not worry? The game provides you with enough (not a substantial amount of customizability) Cons: Doesn't explain some of the systems well enough. The Tutorial is doesn't explain enough, you will have to figure out %99 of the game without knowing basic mechanics. The game isn't complex enough to stand on its own mechanics, even the ones it tries to put in. (Some hidden) The mechanics that do exist, aren't very interesting and the limited space given to place down areas makes building those complex area's dull. *but none the less manageable.

the game has a bunch of features that are unessicary, a fair amount of which aren't explained, then even the explained ones are hidden behind the fact you need to go through a half hour tutorial. this game might be for some, but not for me.

Underwhelming to say the least.

after all the police raids and arrests the final stats said i made 5 billion bees happy and that's how i know it all was worth it

The Church of Communism reigns. Great management, simulation and base building game. Very reminiscent of Prison Architect in mechanics for buying and establishing rooms and buildings. Fun, not the most difficult able to complete a run in less than 20 hours. Achievements are also very attainable except "Power to the People" that only records 1/4 or less of Influence gained.

As someone who plays a lot of simulation and builder games this game is missing a huge feature that's very important and all the others have. A refund for deleting objects and walls. It might seem like a small thing but it resulted in my entire cult dying after an hour of gameplay, because I wanted to build my own starter based instead of using their one. Other than that the customization is great, gameplay was ok maybe a little boring as it kinda felt like sitting around and waiting for them to do something (Might get better when you have more moonmen). I'd love this as a free game but it's not something I would personally spend my money on. Just for me personally.

Super fun game, I easily sunk 38 hours into my first game alone and I really enjoyed it. seems like they are also releasing new content as well. it gave me kinda like a simpler oxygen not included vibe or honestly project :insert whatever one here: (but ive played project hospital)

Eu gosto bastante de jogos de gerenciamento de base e sempre acho muito legal essa ideia de começar do nada, construir as coisas do seu jeito e ver tudo funcionando. Por isso eu fui bem animada jogar. A ideia do jogo é muito boa, mas infelizmente ele acaba falhando bastante justamente na parte que deveria ser a mais divertida: a gestão. A sensação que eu tive é que eu não sou exatamente a líder do culto, eu sou mais uma pessoa que fica ali no canto olhando todo mundo fazer as coisas kkkkk. Parece que você tem pouca influência de verdade no que está acontecendo, e isso acaba tirando bastante aquela sensação de "eu estou comandando tudo". A parte de construir também me irritou bastante. Tudo custa MUITO caro, juro, parece que eu estou tentando comprar móveis de luxo para um culto que nem dinheiro tem. E o pior é que quando você percebe que fez uma construção ruim ou quer mudar tudo de lugar, o jogo simplesmente fala "problema seu" porque você não recebe praticamente nada de volta quando destrói as coisas. Então você acaba ficando preso naquele layout feio do começo por um tempão porque reformar parece uma missão impossível. No começo eu estava bem entretida, porque a ideia de criar uma seita aleatória é muito engraçada e diferente. Mas depois de algumas horas começou a bater aquele sentimento de "tá, mas é só isso?". O jogo fica bem repetitivo e eu simplesmente não consigo passar muito tempo jogando direto sem começar a ficar cansativo. Eu acho que o jogo tem uma ideia MUITO boa, mas faltou desenvolver melhor a parte de gerenciamento, porque é justamente o que faria ele ser muito mais divertido. Pelo preço original de mais de 100 reais, eu não recomendaria. Acho caro pelo que entrega. Mas se aparecer numa promoção boa... por que não? Às vezes vale a pena gastar umas horinhas criando um culto duvidoso e vendo tudo dar errado kkkkk.
