Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.57/day in the week to Aug 14 → 8.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Cultist Simulator is a game of apocalypse and yearning from Alexis Kennedy, creator of Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Play as a seeker after unholy mysteries, in a 1920s-themed setting of hidden gods and secret histories. Perhaps you're looking for knowledge, or power, or beauty, or revenge. Perhaps you just want the colours beneath the skin of the world.
In this roguelike narrative card game, what you find may transform you forever. Every choice you make, from moment to moment, doesn't just advance the narrative - it also shapes it.
Become a scholar of the unseen arts. Search your dreams for sanity-twisting rituals. Craft tools and summon spirits. Indoctrinate innocents. Seize your place as the herald of a new age.
In this 20-40 hour game, you'll:
Combine cards to tell your own story in a rich, Lovecraftian world of ambition, appetite and abomination. Corrupt your friends. Consume your enemies. There is never only one history.
Found a cult, dedicated to the Red Grail, or the Witch-and-Sister, or the Forge of Days. Recruit Believers and promote them to Disciples to serve as burglars, researchers, cat's-paws. Use your disciples to keep you fed - or feed on your disciples.
Unravel arcane, unacknowledged mysteries. Translate grimoires and glean their lore. Locate and pillage the Star Shattered Fane. Penetrate the realm of the Hours, and win a place in their service. Perhaps - if you are very cunning - you may even glimpse the Mansus.
Outwit rivals, investigators and the increasingly suspicious Authorities. Your own altered Appetites may force you to act abominably, but your Cause must not be stopped.
Transcend death with a story-driven legacy system. Perhaps your inheritors will complete the Rite of the Crucible Soul. Perhaps they'll find peace in a pleasing career. Perhaps they'll bring the Dawn.

Great Lore. Really feels like madly researching forbidden knowledge while trying to stay kinda sane and out of prison even when it's just cards and text.
Maybe I missed it but there was no introduction into how to play. You just have to intuitively have to guess what goes where. If you haven't played for a while, the game provides no log, codex, or info on what you were doing. Everything is obtuse and for me too slow. Especially in the beginning, you wait for the time to pass by looking at an empty screen. I'm sure the mystery appeals to someone, but the entry level was too high for me.

The gameplay is occasionally unintuitive, [spoiler]but turns out many things, including love quarrels, can be solved by releasing a man from his mortal shell.[/spoiler] Also, the elegant writing is enjoyable.
The exploration aspect is really interesting but the grind just weighs it down too much. Losing a run does not feel as if you have learned things you now want to try and use in your next run. It just feels lika a punisment of early game grind you have to endure so you can get back to the interesting parts.
Честно говоря ничего непонятно и не очень интересно.
im glad they finally made a solitaire game where you can take your skin off
It's a nice game with a lot of words, and the lore is interesting. Can recomend.
神中神，除了难上手，好这一口的纯享受
It's too confusing with too much going on at the start. Ive tried this way too many times and havent even slightly made progress
I would read shopping lists written by Alexis Kennedy.
