LEAD the CULT OF CTHULHU. Decide the fate of your followers, perform eldritch rituals, and master the art of city-building in a world where the line between sanity and madness blurs. Can you endure the horrors you unleash?
As a cult leader, you take on the responsibility of awakening the ancient god Cthulhu. The game's eerie, foreboding atmosphere deeply immerses you in H.P. Lovecraft's unsettling mythos, setting it apart from traditional city-building titles.
Effective resource management is crucial to your success. You must construct a variety of buildings to house and employ your followers, known as "worshippers." These worshippers harvest resources, produce goods, and engage in dark rituals to generate "faith" - the game's primary currency. Optimizing production chains and maintaining a steady flow of resources is essential.
One of the game's key mechanics allows you to customize and "ascend" individual worshippers. You can assign them to different jobs based on their skills and preferences, and even physically modify them through ritualistic scarification to change their roles. This strategic layer adds depth as you balance the needs and abilities of your worshippers.
Performing a variety of eldritch rituals is a core part of the gameplay loop. These rituals unlock new structures, grant supernatural blessings, and even allow you to summon Lovecraftian monstrosities to aid your cult. Engaging in these dark ceremonies reinforces the game's unsettling atmosphere.
As your cult grows in power, you can expand your influence by conquering neighboring islands. This involves battling non-believer factions through direct combat or converting them to your cult through rituals and conversions. Expanding your territory and resources is essential for awakening Cthulhu and securing victory.
Throughout the game, you'll face narrative choices and moral dilemmas that impact the progression of the story and the fate of your worshippers. These choices, ranging from deciding the fate of non-believers to making sacrifices for the greater good of the cult, contribute to the overall Lovecraftian experience.
