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!

You wake with no name and no past. Just a dying fire in front of you, and the cold pressing in from every side. Feed it. Forage in the dark, hunt what you can, craft what you need, and hold the cold off for one more night. You won't last long. That's the point. Everburn is a survival incremental about starting over. Every life is short, and every death teaches you something. You come back a little stronger, a little sharper, your fire catching faster than the last time. The wall that killed you becomes the ground you stand on. Death by death, you push deeper into the world. And it's a real world. The whole game is text: words on a screen and a fire that spreads wider the longer you survive. You climb out of the woods into the valley, feel your way through the crystal caves, and reach colder, stranger places the deeper you go. Line up your actions and watch a life run itself. Automate what you've mastered. Close the app and the time is banked, so you always come back with something to spend. And it ends. There is a last chapter, a real one, and then you're done. The first chapters are free. One purchase opens the rest, and it's yours for good. No ads, no subscriptions, ever. How far can one life take you, when you've got as many as it takes?
