Cult Vacui Reviews

Absolute beast of a dark point and click adventure - really well designed to be tough but not redonkulously hard. Highly recommended and hope there is more to come from these creators.

Best parts: -The art was amazing -The story was compelling -The puzzles were interesting -The dialogue was meaningful -I love spooky cult stories -Your decisions do have impact on outcome (mainly failure or success) and you can see what happens when you miss certain parts of the puzzle and times runs out. "Difficult" Aspects: -Time management is a big deal. Every time you travel is important. If you aren't careful you will be redoing the same part several times. -Autosave does not exist -Sometimes there are glitches which made me have to restart, so don't click esc during cutscenes lol -For some reason I thought inventory spots would be limited to the number of spots on your screen but it has no limit. I kept trying to go back home and set things aside and which wasted my play time limit. (However this is totally user error, it was just an assumption I made based off of other games I have played). I am not saying any of the negative things to deter people from playing this, I really enjoyed it. Once again, beautiful art, compelling story, interesting puzzles. Just some bumps in the road when I played it. Like everyone else I wish there was more and I will be keeping up with the devs to see what else gets put out.

Don't Escape 2 if it were totally goffik instead of a child of the zombie craze. The art's pretty great, the atmosphere is on point. Really, my only complaint is the length: I want more!

interesting mechanics. wish it was longer (which is good)

If you like pixel-art and what I call “Dark Worlds” [i]Cult Vacui [/i] is defiantly for you. It is an atmospheric point and click adventure with an interesting feature that literally gives you a ticking clock to work against – which means you do not have the luxury of striving around endlessly. While the puzzles are not that complicated this element makes a little planning and thinking while you work necessary. The game is short, clocking in under 2 hours even if you try for all endings and outcomes, but for the price that is fine. the Art work is superb and the story, while not comply innovative, is well told and interesting. So, if you are into this kind of games, please give it a try. Also: Marduk Fh’tagn!
