Welcome to Cult Leader Simulator: an idle RPG where every decision tightens your grip on reality. Summon followers, sacrifice souls, and channel dark favor into ever more potent rituals. Construct eerie monuments of power—Altar of Whispers, Brainwashing Center, and the dreaded Shadow Chapel—to bend your disciples to your will. As your cult grows, so does the darkness in your heart. Manage willpower, monitor sanity (it’s overrated), and juggle resources to research the transcendence. One wrong move, and the abyss gazes back—but for a true leader, that’s part of the fun. Also do not try this at home!
