Description
About This Game
Arrange followers and buildings on a 7×5 grid to build a cult worthy of pleasing the Outer Gods.
At turn's end, [Faith] and [Devotion] resonate and ignite into an explosion of [Eldritch Power].
The plumber: "Often hears whispers from beneath the pipes."
The innkeeper: "Never asks about the guests who don't check out."
The fortune teller: "Has foreseen an end with no way around it."
In Mist Town, no one joins a cult without a reason.
Recruit peculiar followers from the Dog, Cat, Bird, and Bear tribes,
and raise strange structures like the Abyssal Cave and Non-Euclidean Temple.
The rifts in space-time tear open, and the Outer Gods descend upon Mist Town one by one.
The "Dark Spirit", lurking in the corners of bedrooms
The "Hound of Tindalos", slipping through the angles of reality
The "Dark Wizard", deep within the mists
Gather the [Eldritch Power] they demand within a limited number of turns — or your cult will be devoured by the Void.
Choose your path. Wander between shops, treasures, and sudden encounters.
Collect rare relics and strengthen your deck across trials.
Every run is a new experiment in belief. Chase the wildest combinations of followers and buildings.
Watch mortals and gods alike kneel before the [Eldritch Power] chain you meticulously designed.
