| Evil Cult is going to become completely free in a month | 2025-06-02 | Hi, everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted anything here. The title says it all really. If you wanted to purchase Evil Cult and didn't for some reason, just wait for a month and you can have it for free. The reason is pretty simple: the game has faded into obscurity as is the way of most games and I'm not willing to spend more time working on it. Currently, I have Parasite to work on (which will likely become free as well at some point) and I've wanted to start the work on my third Steam game for about two years now, give or take. But since Parasite is not released yet, I have to finish it first. One final note: the game is and alw |

| Evil Cult v7.0 Artifacts of the Arcane | 2020-09-19 | March 16, 20-- The coppery stench of my brothers’ blood floods my nose. Let it not be said that I was cruel; they were sleeping the sleep of the just when I slit their throats. No room in here for those old elaborate ritual suicides anyhow. And yet I find myself wishing for those old days. Or even just one day. Yesterday would have been much more auspicious for sacrifices such as these, for reasons both obvious and eldritch.

The Hiding was the best I could do, powered by the death of the willing, but I suspect it may be all for nothing. |
