Hello madness, my old friend.

Cultist Simulator is now available at 10% off until June 7, 5pm UTC, DRM-free on GOG.com.

**Buy in the first week to receive the Perpetual Edition, which gives you access to upcoming DLC, planned to add new roles, characters, and legacies. This offer expires June 7, 6pm UTC.**

You got the fever again. It's been two days since you last ate but your research is more important. Gotta crack that ancient book, whose arcane language promises a glimpse at cosmic mysteries not intended for mortal minds. Just need to play your cards right: visit the right places, gain the proper insight, combine your madness with that of loyal followers, who would gladly sacrifice or be sacrificed in the name of terrible beings lurking at the edge of whispers. Don't worry about failing the first time. Worry about letting the moths escape.

Check out this piece for some insight into Alexis Kennedy's writing process during the creation of Cultist Simulator.
Make sure to also read RockPaperShotgun's review of the game, which awarded it the prestigious "Recommended" sticker.

reative00: Googling about Cultist Simulator I've encountered some allegations about Alexis Kennedy being well known (within industry) for his predatory behaviour towards females. Not like it change my attitude towards the game, but it got me more interested than game right now. Anyone have any info about this? I'd love some juicy drama.
I'm reluctant to believe "a friend of a friend of someone who was involved" stories for a reason. I remember how the game telephone works. If someone actually involved says something I would reconsider otherwise it's just an unsubstantiated rumor.

Who is this Kat Lo person and why would anybody sexually harass or even assault her?

Maybe I'm wrong but judging from her Twitter timeline she's just another "Twitter activist" spreading "outrage" in order to gain attention.
This game looks waaaay more complicated than it needs to be. :P

I love the idea but not this way.
Instabought!


For those who are more interested in info about the game than in gossip, here are a few links I found:

On YouTube are several videos and Let'sPlay.

This is the article that is being referred to:

The "juicy drama" seems to be a relationship that started at the workplace. And the couple still works together.
Anyone had the issue of the game not being able to download (not released yet / Galaxy)

Yeah, this is the way I felt that's why I asked; I mean, he isn't Harvey Weinstein with half billion dollars to silence anyone; if he has *reputation* - whatever that's suppose to mean - then someone would come forward with it?

What seemed extremely weird for me in this case here is that she made this tweet DAY after the article was released - is that really enough time to confirm everything to confidently say "everyone I asked knew about his reputation" yet she's the only person ever to spoke about it?

Ahh, I knew the article but I don't find anything either outrageous there - two adult people fell in love while working with together and stopped having a professional relation as soon as anything serious started - wow. I was asking because tweets by this "Kat Lo" lady suggests something horrible; "people have even been warned about Alexis" is more on par with "he'll molest you as soon as you join Failbetter"; and yet I couldn't find anyone else making those claims anywhere.

Now, about the game. I'm an hour and 22 minutes in and I still completely don't understand what's going on; while mechanics seems to be easy to grasp the story so far doesn't make any sense (not in negative way; it just so far a lot of puzzle pieces; my verdict on the story won't be based on just starting puzzles and saying "well, it doesn't look like complete picture").

So far only real complain is performace; on GTX 1070/i5 6600k OC'd it starts to shutter after I alt-tab to do some internet stuff. Also speed buttons are N (for Normal) and M (for More I guess?) and I can't find a way to rebind it.
After buying the game in the account just shows a pkg file for Mac and an exe for windows for "perpetual edition" DLC

What's the deal with the linux build and perpetual stuff?

The Linux build of the game itself seems to be up now, however I'm only seeing the Perpetual Edition DLC for Windows and Mac. Hopefully that changes soon.

Regarding the game's performance:

Do you have the latest drivers for your Nvidia card? I have the game running in the background on my Nvidia GTX 1050 with an i5 processor and I am experiencing no lag whatsoever. The latest driver version is 397.93.
Game card still says "soon".

It's referring to the arrival of the comet which is going to come and release us from our earthly bodies.

Look in the downloads section. It`ll download, but for some reason says it`ll be `soon`.

lol!

As for the game itself... yea. It`s a very, very strange game. Might take a few plays to understand what the hell is going on.
