  • Great game but sound doesn’t work

    This is a great game but sound has never worked in the IOS version. I cant believe this still hasn’t been fixed

    Hello! Thanks for your feedback. You can contact us by mail at hello@playdigious.com We'll try to investigate your issue. Have a nice day
  • Man this is weird and very interesting

    I’d recommend giving this game a try if you want a very different experience. The whole idea of experimenting with cards is great really like it
  • Goodbye, Time. Hello, Hours.

    It’s easy to see why we’re chasing the Hours in this game because I’ve lost a countless number of them flipping, turning, and waiting on cards. A fantastic game; do yourself a favor and stay away from the wiki for a while. It really is rewarding to figure things out yourself.

    NOTE RE: EXILE UPDATE:
    The Exile update appears to have changed/patched gameplay (depending on your perspective, I guess) such that you can NO LONGER hold a hard in your “hand” away from a magnet. I wasn’t expecting that change, and I’m not sure that I’m a huge fan. It seems like the PC version kept an option to leave that “feature” on when it patched it out, but as of now, the iOS version doesn’t. Just something I wish I’d known before I updated.

  • Five ‘descents’ and still enthralling...

    Beautiful, absorbing, challenging, mysterious, deadly.

    I’ve played this five times now and am scarcely any closer to knowing what the heck is going on, but loving every minute.

    ‘Cultist Simulator’ requires you to keep a sharp eye on your vital signs and have one eye on multiple clocks at all times. Figuring out which elements interact is highly rewarding but can lead you down dark paths.

    I’d advise keeping a notepad handy to remind you what you need to complete tasks, as many resources will decay before you can use them.

    I’d have expected great things from the creator of ‘Sunless Sea’, and while this looks simpler, it isn’t, and you have no time to hang around working it all out.

    If you like Lovecraft, the occult, mystery, thrillers or steampunk, I’d check out this game. A bargain at the price given its replayability.

  • All the one star reviews are whiny babies

    I wondered why this great game wasn’t at five stars, then I saw why. All of these one star reviews were people who have never played a game that isn't handholding and action packed. The game makes it very clear in the store page that it is A: a card based game B: a game that you have to experiment with to learn it. These reviews are unfair. It is a wonderful game.

  • Wow

    I have been searching for a game to scratch the occult itch that I’ve have for far too long and this game nailed it. No tutorial but an amazing community of people willing to help and point you In The right way. The mysterious nature tagged with the multiple endings and explore on your own and risk takings that you have to do, this game is amazing and you can bet I’ll be buying any and all dlc for this game to dabble in the occult mysteries

  • Potential... but boring grinding

    I don’t understand the glowing reviews.

    Have played for 8 hours and haven’t died yet nor have I beaten the game. The beginning was interesting as I was discovering a lot of new things. However the past few hours I’ve just been grinding to upgrade everything and it’s getting really boring.

    Maybe I’m just playing the game wrong... but I encountered a scenario I was clearly unprepared for so I decided I better slow down on the exploration a bit to actually recruit followers and level up skills.

    I guess I’m probably ready for the next challenge now that I’ve spent a few more hours grinding my upgrades but the problem is you never know if you will encounter something difficult that you should have prepared more for. And at this point I would just quit if I died and lost my last 8 hours of progress...

    But other people seem to be dying all the time and having fun with it. I don’t know. Seems like it would be a huge slog to rebuild my cult.

    tldr; the exploration is where this game shines, but once you understand how certain systems work there is a lot of repetition in the progression of recruiting, leveling up skills/lore etc. I wish I could bypass the busywork and just focus on exploring new things.

  • A creative and confusing game

    I rate this 5 stars because it’s a fun game and it’s so cool to learn I don’t suggest learning by using wiki or other things getting help from a freind is fine don’t let them tell you too much tho but this game is definitely confusing but for ones that have a bit of patience and are interested in a unique experience each time this is the game for you this isn’t a fast paced game or anything like that please do not be wavered to buy this great game by some of the bad reviews if you think you would like it you most likely will most of the people that didn’t probably didn’t take the time to understand this game so I implore you to also buy this game if it looks of something that fits your interest or if it doesn’t you can always try something new 🤷‍♂️

  • Masterful. Evocative. Unforgiving.

    This game does not reveal its secrets to all. But to the worthy, the Mansus gives generously.

    Do not mistake the Mansus’ generosity for kindness.
  • A truly special game

    I do not usually write reviews but I have to say, this is just great. Great atmosphere and world, and the puzzle presented is just my kind of thing. Two things I will say though, if you like clear rules this is not the game for you as all the fun is figuring out how to play and advance, and I would like it if at some point you guys (aimed at the developers) would add in an option to restart the... I don’t know “level” or the next step after you win the first game or whatever you like to call it as it gets old going through the same motions to get to the next part again and again. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m missing something because I can see literally no other mistakes. May the great mother embrace you developers.
