The Epic Games Store's free release program excels at spotlighting underrated classics you might have missed. A perfect example is the iconic digital card-based experience, Cultist Simulator, which is currently free to download and keep permanently.
Cultist Simulator begins with a simple premise. You are an ordinary citizen in early 20th-century Europe. After losing your hospital job, you face an uncertain future. Should you pursue a career in art, writing, or manual labor? Or do the cryptic documents from a dying patient reveal a path to something beyond ordinary life?
The true appeal of Cultist Simulator lies not in managing your health and finances, but in the gradual pull from the mundane into a world of mystery and dread. Through dreams, ancient texts, and research, you will slowly uncover another reality—one that could fulfill your wildest dreams or unleash your darkest nightmares.
Draw Your Cards
Cultist Simulator's minimalist interface revolves around managing various cards that represent your traits, resources, and more. Some cards expire, burn out, or transform—sometimes for the better, often for the worse. You must balance not only your health and expenses but also deal with fascinations, dread, and the growing suspicion of the law.
Your journey evolves from creating strange art to gathering followers who share your vision. Eventually, you'll be hiding bodies, commandeering loyal cultists, and stealing occult manuscripts from heavily guarded monasteries.
Sounds like wholesome fun, doesn't it?
