#MiniReview #VideoGames Cultist Simulator produced and distributed by Weather Factory is intriguing at first, with its board of cards not all permanent, its timed processes and an occult lore that unveils little by little. Unfortunately, the required time to just approach the mid-game is counted in hours (even at 2x speed) and then the chances to run into the really mean traps increase sharply.

Just like in the Fallen London universe that was written by the very same Alexis Kennedy, the cryptic writing is captivating, but ultimately the repetitive tasks over long periods of time just to succumb to a chance percentage isn't my thing.

Bonus: Cultist Simulator gives purposefully easy access to the player's save file, a pretty-formatted JSON document. So it's possible to hack one's game, if you can figure out what the esoteric key names and values correspond to in the game. It's a really clever and cheap move to add a risky exploration game inside a risky exploration game.
