Link to Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1144821177/cultist-simulator-behold-our-end
Link to a free very early prototype: https://alexiskennedy.itch.io/cultist-simulator-prototype
Copy-pasted summary:
"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.
Cultist Simulator is a narrative game that lets you play 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.
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."
An image from the Kickstarter page, which shows the abstracted card-game-like mechanics:
This game is the next solo project by Alexis Kennedy, the guy who made Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Looks to have the same eerie and strange feel to it. I haven't backed the Kickstarter, and in light of recent crowdfunding debacles I probably won't, but I believe it is a game worth keeping an eye on regardless.
