For the low, low price of your first-born child, you too can experience the joys of That Which Sleeps? That kind of cult?
Actualy, a KS project done by an ex-bay12er that consisted of an open world roguelike-ish game with some really interesting mechanics. It was funded and then the developer just kind of disappeared after posting a video and a barebones soundtrack. Apparently the forum agreed to not talk about it again.

So uh, this weather huh? Anyway, ye, nobody has any concrete idea on when TWS is comming out. If its comming out.

Actually, the Cult dev was a class act.  Really upfront, kept people in the loop most of the time, and issued refunds with interest.



I'm about 90% sure I didn't even request one.

I'm curious; how many people backed TWS, and then asked for a refund, but haven't received one?

The project isn't dead yet, so there is no obligation to refund.

and may I add that the general attitude towards cult is that most people who got the refund actually didn't want it. Mostly because they felt like he gave an honest attempt to make the game and that the money he would have to pay back was too much.

The creator went out of his way to ensure that people got it.

So yeah the Cult guy was a class act all the way.

Honestly I just want this game done now so people will stop running around like the ship is sinking.

I was one of the fairly high backers of cult and specifically told him not to refund me. He was extremely transparent about the whole thing and I have no hard feelings about it

The project isn't dead yet,

Or it is, and they just haven't admitted it yet.

I didn't ask if there was. I know they've given refunds to other backers. The question was, who has asked for a refund and not received one?

Same. Well, I was more of a mid-level backer, but still didn't care about a refund at all due to how he went about it all.

Bit premature on that. I'd give it to at least August before I'd start looking for a body.

If he gave 20% interest for the refund, it was better use for your money to invest it in the kickstart than leave it in most funds.

No one knows. All we know is that it sleeps.

You know, there is a game Cults and Daggers on Steam with a theme somewhat similar. Some of you guys might be interested in checking it out while waiting.
