Description
Eldritch Cults × Strategic Deckbuilding × Roguelite!
Far beyond the civilized world lies Mist Town, a remote town known as the "Chosen Land."
No one knows what kind of god the townsfolk worship. One thing is certain: these adorable animal folk are devoted beyond all reason...
As the town's newly appointed Bishop, you must lead your flock against the eldritch horrors lurking in the mist. Can you keep their faith unwavering and survive the trials that await each night?
Recruit animal townsfolk with their own secrets and desires into your cult: a housewife seeking redemption, a farmer obsessed with the apocalypse, a scholar thirsting for forbidden knowledge...
Discover dozens of unique follower cards across four animal families: Avians, Felines, Canines, and Ursines.
Build and refine your deck, uncover powerful synergies with every draw and upgrade, and harness the collective faith of your followers to generate an endless stream of Faith!
Construct a variety of buildings across the map, from ordinary churches and banks to ominous caverns leading into the abyss.
Each building creates unique synergies with adjacent follower cards, amplifying whispered prayers into a frenzy of fanatical faith. Plan your placements, unleash powerful chain reactions, and generate ever greater amounts of Devotion for your cult!
Rifts in space and time are tearing open. Deep within the misty forest, otherworldly tentacles creep ever closer to your town... Only true fanaticism can bring salvation!
Combine the Faith gathered from your followers with the Devotion generated by your buildings to unleash god-slaying eldritch power.
When the inevitable Night of Trials arrives, can you withstand the escalating horrors of the Gnophkehs, Formless Spawn, and other eldritch invaders within a limited number of turns? Your sacred ground must not fall!
The path to a thriving cult is never without its surprises. A mysterious secretary keeps testing your intentions. An investigator from out of town refuses to leave you alone. A wealthy magnate makes an offer too tempting to refuse.
What will you do?
You know that every gift comes at a price, and every gain demands a sacrifice. Will you choose a martyr for your cause, or find a way to get that pesky investigator off your back?
Every choice between morality and ambition could change the fate of your cult forever.
Every downfall brings new enlightenment. Even the end of the world won't leave you empty-handed.
With each roguelite run, unlock new follower cards, powerful buildings, and ancient artifacts to strengthen your cult for the next cycle.
Venture deeper into the mysterious forest, recover scattered fragments of lost memories, and gradually piece together the ancient pact between Mist Town and the True God.
Cross the line between devotion and madness, and uncover the ultimate secret of this forgotten land!
