“If you like colony builder games and thought "hey what if it was centered around an eldritch cult?". Well think no more this satisfies both thought processes in a great and fun way. Its very polished in what it does and…”

“I love the idea of the theme, but the actual game is lackluster. The small bits of lovely lore of what's happening to your villagers is great, but mainly this game is about small scale management, and really simple RTS…”
“The game uses mechanics similar to many other well-known settlement-building games, so if you often play this type of game, you probably won’t be very surprised. Still, it’s nice that it’s not overly complicated, you…”
“Check it out. I played this game. I thought it was pretty great actually. Dark. A bit mysterious. Unsettling in some areas. Choices. The mission objecives were actually not to bad, I enjoyed them. I played into the…”

“I really like this game, This is a great blend of the Cthulu mythos to the classic base building ( anno type ? ) rts management games. This has atmospheric sound and superb art-style / graphics that are suitably eerie.…”
“If you're a fan of Lovecraftian stories and the Cthulhu mythos, this is right up your ally. Its a really cool colony sim that is oozing with tentacles and Eldritch horrors. There is a pretty cool story unfolding as you…”

“Chapter 3 is unreasonably hard. It wore away at my enjoyment of the game to the point I couldn't play it any more. I love the theme, the first two chapters are great, but chapter 3 has crushed my enjoyment. It's shown…”
“1- Significant performance issues. Even on low graphical presets and with consistent hardware, the game suffers from constant micro-stuttering. 2- Hand-holding to the extreme. The game uses a tutorial style reminiscent…”

“Not a bad game. Where many city or settlement builders have you focusing on one location, this game instead has multiple islands that have to jostle for your attention. It makes a bit more fast-paced than other…”
“Decent-ish strategy game with an eldritch theme. While I can't say it's terribly challenging if you're used to these things, I didn't find myself regretting any of my time with it. Writing is kind of mid though…”

“I wanted to like it, but meh. also i think it has untagged generative llm elements in the portraits. and if i'm wrong, they just look like they are.”
“This is one of those games that i wish steam had a star rating system in stead of just good/bad. Its a decent game and ultimately im going to recommend it. That being said its short for story mode. 30 hours in and ive…”

“Very fun little game! Part of me wishes there was more to do, but I'm holding out hope for further updates and expansions. Definitely a good game to unwind with after a long day.”

“Short response. I want to like this game, but 1) I cannot move people to the house I want them in without tedious island hopping 2) the navy sinks itself and gets more expensive every time you summon a new one. The game…”
“I personally enjoy city-building games, and for me this is almost at the pinnacle of the genre. Its a little hard to balance the different meters, and its annoying that you can't directly move a building, but at least…”

“This is a very good mythos / eldritch / Cthulhu game in its own right. It's a one of a kind. There are no other strategy games that I'm aware of that incorporate almost every aspect of Lovecraftian horror. I really, really wish that they would continue developing this game. It…”
— a player, Steam review · 40 hrs played“I think this game is pretty fun, and its something I've been looking to play for a little while now after playing Cult of the Lamb. It's a pretty standard run of the mill sort of city builder game but its about building up your cult instead of a city. I've just finished the…”
— a player, Steam review · 48 hrs played“There was promise to this game but the developers have clearly given up on adding anything to it. There are much better games of this genre to consider. I would play Against the Storm before this.”
