Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Growing up Gen X in the midst of the Satanic Panic, this game potentially becomes everything we were warned the world would become if you listened to rock music lol.
That said, my boyfriend and I made our entire cult out of cats.
I would've loved to see this game come out back then. The pearl clutching would've probably broken a few knuckles.

Been on the fence for this game for a while but not too sure what it's about exactly. From what I gather it has a part that is pure roguelike combat, something similar to Hades, and there is another management part where you grow your community. It's that so? Is the combat fun and satisfying like in Hades or is more like a filler?
It's a Hades rogue-like and a colony management game. But it's not deep on either front.
The combat and rogue elements don't come close to a dedicated rogue-like game as Hades.
The colony management doesnt come close to the depth of a dedicated management game.
It is centred around the novelty of a taboo: managing and dictating a cult. There are plenty of little things to do besides the two pillars of the game, but it doesn't take long for you to have "seen it all".
Mind you, this doesn't mean the game isn't fun. But it's very light on its individual gameplay mechanics compared to dedicated games.

Yeah even just the potential for "pure" follower aesthetics (aka eugenics) to satisfy our sense of order is so fucked up if you think about it.

Oh my, so much (accidental) foreshadowing in
your post. I hope you enjoy the ride, our cult ended up with some rather ... debatable ethics despite never indulging much in the more perverse and outright evil practices.Thank you! I've been enjoying it a lot. i've been struggling a bit with ethics after some followers have been asking for various things. One wanted me to sacrifice another follower, which i turned down, another asked me to sacrifice them, which i also turned down.
Then there was a dissenter which wanted to leave. The game told me my only option was to talk them out of it, put them in prison, or let them go. I chose to let them go and the asshole stole some of my gold which i'm not too pleased about. So far though i've kept a pretty clean moral slate (outside the bowl of shit)

I know the rule of thirds, but what are powerpoints? DDG is of no help
It may have been a colloquial thing my teacher used, but with Rule of Thirds it's basically where the grid lines intersect, at least, if i understood right. A bit embarrassing but i was out of it for that class due to how early it is

Oh hell ye. I‘ve been eyeing this game for a long time. Imma ask you how you like the game once you‘ve clocked in more hours. Are you planning to 100% it?
I was considering 100%ing it, at least as far as Steam Achievements are concerned. I find they're a good metric to measure whether you've explored all the interesting sides of a game, at least when they're done right. I saw though the DLC achievements are bundled in with the main game. It's trivial but it has kind of put me off 100%, at least until i get the DLC that is

That's basically how i'd summarize it. I like the Combat, it's far easier than Hades though, as it feels far less focused on repeat loops. I have died maybe a total of twice, and i'm someone that doesn't really touch Roguelikes

Cool, thanks!

Yeah, that DLC thing is custom for Steam, they‘re ALWAYS bundled with the main game, there’s no way for devs to not to, it‘s the biggest downside to hunting on Steam.

Yeah. It’s one of the things I miss most about playing on PlayStation. I wish separating main game and DLC was more common
