A horror/suspense pick-your-path game. It does not store information (so don't worry!) and it will make you uncomfortable.

And uh, maybe be comfy with a bit of gore?

i still think this is art

I have tried quite a long time a few times ( just keep coming back to this lol) but I have to ask... 

Is there any way to escape or get a 'good' ending WITHOUT romancing the cultist? 

escape, go to town, go to the police

You need to teach me how to code omg this is crazy

(+2)

Why yes random video game I will give you my exact location thank you for asking

MY EYES WIDENED WHEN IT SHOWED THE EXACT DATE WTF THIS GAME IS AWESOME

The way you did this with a simple text story was extremely well done-
I'm impressed with how you were able to make me feel uneasy with just a few popups! Good job!

this is so hot

(+2)

Honestly this is kind of hot. 

fr

i feel like it would be better if the conversations were color coded

So good! I love how you created quick time events in text form!

(+2)

I WAS LITERALLY SO SCARED WHIOLE PLAYING THIS. MY CHREEKS WERE CLENCHED THE ENTYIRE TIME BUT IN A /POS WAY OH MY GOD THIS WAS SUCH A COOL EXPERIECNE!!

THIS IS SO COOL

everyones asking me how i seduced the cultist bc of my old comment but i played it so long ago that i dont remember how i did it and i'm trying to get back to it and i cant plz come back creepy cult man why have u abandoned me

(+4)

somebody said they seduced a cultist plz tell me how asking for a friend

(+1)

first you gotta make sure to kiss him in that fight part. from there on just go about it normally but decline when he asks you to join the cult. when he asks you if youre friends theres gonna be a third option saying "i think were more"

for science purposes


EDIT: NEVERMIND

I think I just befriended an entire cult on the first try, 10/10 would do again ^^

Wait, the person below me said "seduced a cultist" and I've not been able to get that ending yet. Is there any chance, perhaps, that you could give us some hints? :(

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. :D

HOW DO YOU DO IT

(+1)

(+5)

(+2)

(+4)

the heart wants what it wants dont kinkshame

how do you do it asking for a friend 

(+2)

this is a good horror game!

ahhhh! thank you so much!!!

yw!!

(+3)

I'm a big fan of the horror genre in all forms, but rarely do horror games manage to frighten me the way this game did. Nicely done :)

(+1)

That's honestly super awesome to hear. Thank you so much!

(+2)

this made me break out into a cold sweat, hella good job

How did I just see this lmao thank you so much!

(+2)

Played four times. I finally didn't die. Great game!!

Ha! That's honestly a huge accomplishment XD Thank you!!!!

(+2)

Fun! I appreciate how many different endings there are, and it's quick and easy to replay. You should definitely experiment with adding sound for extra atmosphere~.

(As it turns out, I'm pretty well-prepared for a cult attack. Successfully joined the cult on my first run and killed the guy on the second.)

(+1)

Oh my gosh yes. There's still stuff I wanna do with this game, and atmosphere is definitely on my list. (There's also a romantic ending I want the screen to slowly change from black to pink for... lol)

(Those are super good run-throughs then! Most people get killed one way or another XD )

(+1)

Pretty fun, I enjoyed it :)

Thank you so much!

I just made an account to comment on this because of how much I love it. It managed to inspire dread in me really well, and the concept of it is super cool and I am really interested in the universe it occurs in! Unfortunately I am finding that so far I am skilled at getting murdered and nothing else.  Allswell, it just gives me an excuse to play again! (and maybe not get axed this time around.) 

(+1)

oh my gosh! Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! And yeah, oof, getting axed in the stomach is a pretty rough ending 😅

(1 edit) (+1)

I would love to play some extended lore from this, partly because I'm not sure I trust that good ending (the police station)

(+1)

Especially after how easily you're released in the other two that end there

(+1)

I actually do have plans to make more in this series! In a cult town, I think it's pretty valid not to trust the police ;)

(+1)

This is pretty fun! However there is a glitch where the you see the mirrored pamphlet there is no way to continue. Other than that the this is a really good C.Y.O.A game!

Thank you so much for telling me! I fixed the bug :)

(+1)

Hello Bone Octopus, 

I really enjoyed the game, thanks for it. 

But I think I stumbled into a bug its on the page with the mirrored pamphlet. After He asked whats wrong with it, there is no way to proceed. I checked the code, to see if I missed something, but I don't think so.  Not an expert though.

(It would be at pid 30  or "No way in Hell!"")

Tested on firefox and chrome.


Ah yes! Thank you so much for pointing that out! I have it fixed now :)

Thank you so much! Yeah, I don't always manage to press them either lmao

We has a pretty awesome time toying around with your game!!!! I hope others play this, it's truly underrated. 

(+2)

Oh my gosh, this was a delight to watch! I was grinning like a madman the entire time because I knew what was coming XD I'm so glad you guys liked it! There really are a lot of endings lol You can actually kill the cultist in one!

(+1)

Great stuff!  Love it!

Thank you!
