Cult simulator, but with a twist. You have to sacrifice YOUR cultists to save humans.

Instructions:

-Arrow keys to move camera.

-Click to select your cultists and to order them to move.

-Sacrifice cultists to banish monstrosities and to turn humans into new cultists.

-Banish all monstrosities, but at least one human and one cultist must survive.

I really like the game, having the camera only move left and right isn't very common in many games. I can't give a very formal review since I only played it for a couple of minutes but I think the monster moves too slow. I like the music, I like how smooth the transition is with the cutscene. I like the artstyle of the game. As a challenge, have the humans behave differently when they are in danger so it makes the game more challenging.

I would have loved to give this a 5* graphics rating :D
Enjoyed the simple mechanics ^^

@nightmaresdev Thanks! Damn, I accidentally checked "Do not rate me in graphics" >.

Great graphics and easily understandable mechanics. My only complaint would be that on the final night I had to wait ages for the the monsters to cross the map to reach the last couple of humans I needed to convert as well as destroy the monsters! Really great though.

Super slick presentation! The need to balance between converting humans to cultists and preserving them is a pretty cool mechanic!

This is awesome dude! Everything is so polished! My only grudge is that the third level takes a bit too long

Notes:
There is no reason to make me click the start button, when there is only one button. Any click should start the game.
I feel like the scrolling could have been done better, probably with mouse. Mouse + arrow keys is very awkward.
Loved the mechanics, would have liked more levels even if the increase in difficulty was linear.

This game has some very impressive graphics with a cutesy artstyle, but a dark theme. The gameplay was fairly simplistic but still managed to be challenging. The music also realy add to the overall mood of the game. Nicely done !

The game looks really nice, but, as for me, the rules aren't obvious at first launch. Audio is pretty cool, too:)

Really solid game. I love the little walking sound the cultist make. My only real complant for this game is that you have to use the arrow keys with no option to use WASD. Using both arrow keys and mouse feels a little awkward because of the closeness of my hands on my desk.

Monstrosities are sooo cool and cute I want to have one in my desk! Humans are not so cool but I guess that is ok

A great little game with an interesting mechanic. I found it was a little bit of random chance of success depending on starting positions of humans and monsters, but overall it's impressive work!
