We’ll also be able to reinstate our production roadmap, to give you all a much clearer idea of Read more
Yes! This should really be called ‘NOV #1: WESTENRA’, but this producer is Off The Rails. You can’t stop me. I’m naming this sprint update after the rather curious case of D and The History of Inks, written to a Dr. Serena Blackwood at the Office of the Curia. Click to read photographs of the Read more
Happy Halloween, Believers! I’ve just finished Roger Zelazny’s A Night In The Lonesome October and highly recommend it if you’re in the market for some spooky All Hallow’s escapism from a world-class author who’s putting his feet up and drinking a big glass of goth. This sprint we released a bunch of new stuff to Read more
First things first: an announcement! We released simplified Chinese last month, which was an extremely weird but also wonderful experience.

We announced a number of biggies this sprint.

Ladies and gents, Hinter and Percussigants, Templars Unceasing and Wildwood peers: the Adept’s Build is HERE! This is a big milestone for Cultist Simulator, as it brings us to around the 60% Of The Game Is Basically Done mark (a very good place to be).
