This is a game about discovery, about trial an error, about knowledge and madness. Instead of looking for straight awnsers you should read and take notes. Grab a notebook and keep track of what you find important, what impresses you, what you feel you need to remember. This game is hard and can be boring, but you are slowly improving and adding more to your little notebook as you explore this atonishing world of wonder. After being confused, excited, bored, enlightened, tired, energetic you will eventually find your way to a major victory where you will then have the biggest treasure you've been building towards all this time: A notebook with a bunch of nonsense that will make people pretend they do not know you and will probably put you in a watchlist.

Let me start by saying that I recognize that Cultist Simulator won't be for everyone. It is often baffling and incomprehensible - but this is at the heart of its charm and its appeal. It's a brave design decision to drop players into a game with very little in the way of a tutorial and to simply expect players to figure it out on their own. Despite bearing very little superficial resemblance to it, the only other game that comes to mind for me is Myst - and while there were many efforts to recapture the lightning in a bottle that was Myst and Riven, Cultist Simulator is the first game that made me FEEL the way those titles did. As far as gameplay goes, I won't say much in this review - the joy of the game is in discovering your own breakthroughs after pounding your head against the wall and losing several runs without understanding what you did wrong or how you could have prevented it. If you have the patience and curiosity to delve ever-deeper, understanding will slowly dawn. Obviously anyone that buys a single-player game can play it however they want, but I would strongly discourage the use of any online guides with ONE exception - if you feel you absolutely need a little bit of guidance, this YouTube Beginner's Guide by systemchalk is excellent: https://youtu.be/1t-wEfv536w?si=l4CemcJnRIoui1tu I already had a couple of successful runs under my belt when I found the above Beginner's Guide, after a friend expressed frustration with trying to break into the game, and it's the most information I would possibly suggest that any new player receive. I recommend the game highly for anyone that values patience and experimentation and is not easily frustrated. I found it a deeply rewarding experience and look forward to exploring its mysteries further.

I played this game while depersonalizing the ♥♥♥♥ out from medication withdrawl. I truly felt like some character from Lovecraftian story going insane and losing my humanity as I gave into depravity and madness. 9/10

This game accurately simulates a few specific things: (1) The process of becoming fascinated with occult mysteries, going to absurd lengths just to catch glimpses of the hidden Truths of the universe, (2) being driven absolutely frothing mad by the banal concerns of the mundane world because you spent your life savings by going on dream-quests. You will be pulling your hair out with frustration completely un-explainable to the un-initiated. You'll truly feel like an occultist driven to madness. Feels horrible. Cool game.
